Chapter 42 She Was Unable to Pay for the Takeaway, That Was a Great Mortification to Her

The music stopped, and those girls around felt something was wrong.

Viola was worried about being embarrassed, so she hurried to Adeline's side, and said in a low voice, "Adeline, pay the money."

Adeline didn't say anything and looked at her indifferently.

Viola was nervous and she continued, "Adeline, please pay the money quickly. Don't embarrass me, please!"

Adeline smiled lightly. She walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and said, "Whoever ordered the takeaway will have to pay."

At the same time, Viola's friends looked at her mother and her with distaste, "It's only ten thousand dollars takeaway, and you can't afford it? You can't even pay for this, and you say you are a rich girl?"

Viola's face was full of embarrassment, and she stared at Adeline.

The chef's helper glanced at Adeline. Then, she looked at Edith and repeated the unit's number, "May I ask who is the owner of this house?"

Adeline sat on the sofa with a calm posture. She wasn't in a hurry to answer. There was always a faint smile on her face.

Viola stared anxiously at Edith, beckoning her to pay the money.

She would be done if they didn't pay the money and Adeline admitted that she was the owner of the house.

How could she still be proud in front of her friends in the future?

Edith's expression froze and she walked up to the helper in the back kitchen awkwardly. She took out her bank card and said, "Here you go."

The chef's helper took out the POS machine and scanned it.

After two beeps, the helper frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, madam. The balance is insufficient. Please change to another payment method."

As soon as he finished speaking, those girls around started to whisper.

Viola was even more anxious by then. She walked over and blamed, "Mom, why is the balance insufficient?"

As she spoke, she opened Edith's mobile banking software to check the balance, and it showed that there were only five thousand dollars."

"Oh, Mom, do you forget that you just use your bank card to buy a bag worth more than 40 thousand dollars yesterday? No wonder there is no money in it. Use your credit card instead."

"I' m sorry, but our restaurant doesn't accept credit cards." The helper politely reminded.

At the same time, a friend of hers burst out laughing.

"La Prime is the most famous restaurant in Prodiff for sashimi. Their specialty is that all sashimi ingredients are selected from the top and freshest seafood, and the best parts are selected for cooking, while the rest will be thrown away. So, the price is relatively high."

"Another feature of this restaurant is that it doesn't accept credit cards or pay afterward. Because the service fees of credit card merchants are too high. Viola, all the socialites, and ladies in these circles know about it. How could you and your mother do not know about it?"

Viola's expression became extremely awkward, and she tried to force a smile, "Oh, I have been to too many restaurants and I can't tell which is the one."

Viola poked Edith with her elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, pay the money."

Edith glanced at her Apple Pay, and there wasn't enough money as well.

She had to pinch and scrape from everywhere. She asked the chef's helper to scan her WhatsApp for five thousand dollars and then scanned her Apple Pay for two thousand dollars.

She couldn't pay the rest no matter how hard she tried. There was a great mortification to her.

"Madam, there is still a shortfall of three thousand dollars." The helper in the back kitchen reminded her.

Edith had no choice but to look at Adeline, and said in a bad tone, "Hey you, pay the money quickly!"

"Why?" Adeline looked at her with a smile.

"Why? You are the owner of the house! Food is delivered to you, and if you don't pay, who will?" Edith was so anxious that she started talking nonsense.

As soon as Edith finished speaking, Viola glared at her angrily.

At the same time, one of Viola's friends got the goods and asked teasingly.

"Ah? Viola, didn't you say that this is your house? Why did your sister become the owner of the house? I even tell my other friends proudly that my friend owns a house and ask them to pay a visit whenever they want!"

"Sure. Please come whenever you want!" Viola was very concerned about her reputation. She couldn't bear to be humiliated. She said, "My sister's house is my house too. You also know that when my parents die, even my sister's part in the family will be mine too. My family has always been like this."

Edith felt a little discomfort when she heard the words "My parents were dead".

Adeline's expression turned completely cold, "Our parents have the power to distribute the property in the family. I have no control over that."

"But, in this house, I am the owner. I have the final say! None of your friends are welcome to my house. Anyone who wants to come to my house must get my consent."

"Viola, stop talking. Since this house is not yours, you really don't have the right. Anyways, I would like to leave first. I don't want to be embarrassed."

That girl didn't really mean that she would ask her friend to come, she just wanted to provoke Viola. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She couldn't stand looking at Viola being so proud

As soon as the eccentric girl left, other friends who were eating the sashimi with forks started to make sarcastic remarks.

"Viola, this will be your fault. The house is not yours, but you are pretending to be rich and saying it is yours. Don't you find it humiliating now?"

"That's right. Just tell us that it belongs to your sister. We won't say anything. We won't look down on you either! After all, such a large unit in the Bay Hall will be very expensive!"

"Furthermore, didn't you say that your whole family dotes on you, Viola? You used to show off by saying that your sisters and brothers will give you everything that you ask for. It seems that isn't the truth!"

Those words from the friends were very provoking to Viola and she was mad.

She rushed to Adeline angrily, with her hips akimbo, condescendingly looking down at Adeline who was sitting on the sofa.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Adeline slowly crossed her leg, and looked at her gracefully, but didn't respond.

The helper in the back kitchen got a general idea after listening to their conversation. He coughed twice and continued to remind Edith and Viola to pay the balance.

Viola glared at Adeline and said, "Hurry up! Pay the money! Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Adeline smiled slightly and responded, "That makes you both the mother and daughter."

Viola frowned and she felt something not right, "What do you mean?"

"I mean that you will never learn to be polite. One asked me to pay the money, and the other called me by my full name without even addressing me as her sister. I am not expecting you to beg me for help as a family, but before asking others to do something, isn't there some basic manners?

At that moment, Hannah, who had encouraged Viola to come to her sister's house couldn't help but speak out.

"Ms. Burton! You are my sister's colleague. I'll respect you as my sister too. As a family, do you really want to be so calculative?"

"It's just that your sister invited her friends to come to the house to have fun and have a meal. Since you are so rich, what do you make it such a big deal?"

"Isn't it because you marry a rich man, therefore you are looking down at your sister and mother now? Why are you being so fussy?"

"Is this your way of hospitality? How can a person like you be someone else's teacher?"

Viola nodded and echoed, "That's right!"

"Look at what you did to your family today, if I capture it and post it on the Internet, can you imagine what the netizens will say? Don't forget that you have just done being cyberbullied not long ago!"

As she said that, Hannah took out her mobile phone and threatened Adeline.

She was still thinking about bringing her friends over in the future. So, she had to get Viola's sister in control!

Adeline was unhappy with those who like to capture everything and posted it on the Internet. Her expression changed slightly when she heard that.

Seeing that, Hannah raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly and approached her a little closer with her mobile phone.

"Pay the money or wait to be cyber bullied. Your choice!"
