Chapter 115
Time ticked by, second by second.
The Wynn family lurked around, craning their necks, but not a single person from the Lancaster family appeared.
Their legs grew numb from standing, but they didn’t dare leave.
What if someone came out the moment they walked away?
They couldn’t afford to miss this chance.
Marianne, whose feet were aching in her high heels, grew frustrated and kicked at the wall to vent her anger. “What rotten luck p>
Her legs were already sore, and the sudden, forceful movement made her lose her balance before her foot even hit the wall.
“Ah p>
A loud crash followed.
Marianne cried out in pain.
Then came the shattering sound of a dish hitting the floor.
Luckily, Hailey managed to catch Marianne just in time, preventing her from falling.
Marianne looked up sharply and saw an elderly man in a white chef’s uniform standing before her. At his feet lay a shattered soup tureen, its contents splattered all over the floor. A few drops had splashed onto Marianne’s skirt.
“Oh, my skirt This was a limited-edition dress she had specifically worn for a high-end place like Le Céleste.
Marianne was heartbroken. Seeing that the man was just an ordinary chef, she immediately directed all her pent-up frustration at him. “Are you blind? Do you have any idea how much this dress costs? Can you afford to pay for it if it’s ruined p>
The old man frowned at the mess on the floor. “Ma’am, you’re the one who ran into me and knocked over my soup. I haven’t asked you for compensation, yet you’re the one on, yet youre the pointing fingers p>
Marianne was still focused on the grease stain on her dress and scoffed dismissively. “It’s just a bowl of soup. How much could that be worth? Can it compare to my limited-edition dress p>
Hailey chimed in, “Exactly! Do you know what brand my mother’s dress is or how much it costs? Apologize to my mother and pay for the damages right now p>
The old man looked at the mother-daughter duo, finding them utterly unreasonable. It was impossible to communicate with people like them.
He shook his head and turned to go back and prepare another serving of soup.
“You think you can just walk away without paying?!” Marianne reached out to stop him.
Suddenly, Hailey grabbed Marianne’s arm, her eyes fixed on the grand, luxurious hall of the VIP area. Her pupils dilated in shock.
“Mom, it’s… it’s Serena p>
Hearing the name, Marianne frowned and immediately looked over.
In the VIP hall, Serena was wearing a chef’s apron and pushing an exquisite food cart.
Seeing Serena dressed as a cook, Hailey looked down at her own delicate dress and expensive jewelry, a wave of superiority washing over her.
She deliberately angled her designer handbag so the logo faced Serena, then put on a look of feigned pity. “To stay invaelion City Serena actually took a job at Le Celeste… and even managed to get a job serving plates in the VIP area.
Marianne’s face changed. “So it was that wretched girl who brought us this bad luck! Every time we run into her, something bad happens!. almost fell and nearly got soup
spitted all over me p>
She quickly pulled Hailey back. “Hailey, stay away from her! You don’t want her poverty and bad luck to rub off on you p>
“Wait!” Logan stared blankly at the girl in the apron, who still looked stunningly beautiful despite her attire.
His eyes lit up. “Are you all stupid? Serena is working in the VIP area now. For us, this is a golden opportunity sent from heaven p>
