In the following seconds, their broad smiles froze on their faces as they saw Victoria elegantly dining, her table manners impeccable and her use of tableware appropriate to the occasion. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing – only Manager Jen had an ugly expression and was sweating profusely uncontrollably. Now she knows who the real wife of the chairman is, her expression as ugly as eating a pig’s liver, she doesn’t know how to fix her mistake.
Victoria finished her meal and placed the fork and knife on the plate pointing upwards.
“So what if you know how to use tableware? The question is, can you afford all that?” Erica asked with a sneer.
Kc grinned maliciously before picking up the remote and pressing the button, “Now I want to see how you’re going to pay,” she said as she played with the remote in her hand.
Johanna suddenly stopped, realizing she also didn’t know where to get the money to pay. She had a grimace on her face, took out her cellphone, and secretly sent a message to her father.
Victoria smiled and stood up, ready to leave. Erica noticed her and blocked her way. “Victoria, it’s not that easy to just leave without paying,” she said with a grin.
“Step aside,” Victoria said coldly, not willing to argue with someone senseless.
Erica laughed, “Are you in a hurry to leave because you can’t pay-”
Slap!
Victoria raised her hand and delivered a strong slap to Erica, almost knocking her down with the force of it. Erica stumbled backwards before reaching out to Kc, “How dare you hit me!” she shouted angrily, holding her swollen cheek in surprise.
“Victoria! You’re so brave to have the courage to slap Erica like that,” Kc exclaimed.
Victoria looked at Kc before smiling, walked calmly, raised her hand, and also slapped Kc.
Slap!
Kc was shocked by the unexpected slap, unable to speak in disbelief.
Johanna’s eyes widened, “Victoria, you’re so brave-”
Slap!
Victoria didn’t speak and didn’t wait for Johanna to finish speaking before giving her a slap too, “I can’t be bothered to argue with fools,” she casually said.
Victoria saw Manager Jen whose demeanor had changed, smiled and said nothing.
Erica pointed at Victoria, “You can’t leave until you pay for what you’ve eaten! Don’t expect us to pay for your meal.”
Victoria gave her a sharp look, Erica felt scared when she saw it and remained silent.
“Let management take care of this, mind your own business. Does this look like an ordinary restaurant where you can leave without paying? Stupid!” Victoria said coldly.
Erica was embarrassed, at that moment the door opened and the manager entered. Victoria nodded at Felix before leaving the room, Erica was surprised to see Victoria leave without paying, “Manager Felix, that woman hasn’t paid yet!” Erica exclaimed.
Manager Felix gave Erica a cold look, “She has already paid, you are the ones who haven’t paid. Cash or card?”
“Is she paid already?!” Kc’s incredulous reaction.
Erica and Johanna were also in disbelief, only Manager Jen knew what was happening so she remained silent, ‘this woman is good at pretending, let’s see how you will pay,’ she thought as she looked at Johanna.
“Should I lie to you?” Manager Felix grinned, “do you have such a high regard for yourselves?” He said coolly.
Kc got scared before showing a forced smile, “Manager Felix, madam Johanna will be the one to pay for dinner today,” pointing at the bewildered Johanna.
Manager Felix smirked, ‘this person pretends to be the Mistress, let’s see what tricks you have,’ he thought before smiling at Johanna, “Mrs. De Luca, as the chairman’s wife, how would you like to pay for dinner today?”
“Of course, madam will just use her card,” Erica said with a smile as she approached Johanna.
“Of course, it’s unlikely that the chairman’s wife’s bank card is empty,” Manager Felix said.
Kc nodded, “it’s really different when you have a rich husband.”
Manager Felix grinned, ‘Wife my ass, good at pretending,’,”Mrs. De Luca, please bring out the bank card so we can process the transaction,” he said before smiling at Johanna.
Johanna asked with hesitation, “how much is the total bill?”
“Mrs. De Luca, why do you seem concerned about how much you’ll be spending tonight?” Manager Felix curiously asked.
“Madam, with your wealth, you don’t need to know how much you spend every day,” Kc said with a smile.
Johanna faked a smile before speaking hesitantly, “Recently, I spent a lot so my husband limited the credit card balance.”
“Ah, I see,” Kc said.
“Manager Felix, the bill, please,” Johanna said, nervously.
Manager Felix smiled, “Mrs. De Luca, your total is $450, 000.”
“$450, 000! How did that happen?!” Johanna shouted in shock.
“Madam, the two wines you bought with your companion cost $50, 000 each,” Manager Felix explained.
“What, $50, 000 for one bottle?!” Erica exclaimed, they casually chose it without realizing its expensive price.
Johanna gave a sharp look at Erica and Kc, ‘Damn these two, they picked such expensive wine,’ she thought in anger,”Manager Felix, please wait, I just need to make a call.”
Manager Felix nodded and allowed Johanna to step aside and make a phone call to find someone to borrow money from.
…
Upon Victoria’s exit from the restaurant, it was already dark. She called for a taxi and was ready to go home, about to open the taxi door when suddenly someone struck her on the back of her neck and she lost consciousness.
…
In the office of Luca Group’s chairman. Lucas glanced at his watch before standing up and getting ready to go home, when suddenly his phone rang. He saw a call from one of his men whom he sent to guard Victoria’s protection. Lucas had a bad feeling before, he swallowed his saliva before answering the call.
Upon answering the call, he could hear the panicked voice of the other party, “boss, madam was on her way home when someone took her and put her in a car, we are currently discreetly following the vehicle, boss these people are not ordinary individuals, they come from a mafia group because of the badge in their car.”
Lucas got angry, and slammed the table, “Which mafia dares to not live to kidnap my wife? Just follow them and send me the location, I will be there soon.”
“Yes boss!” replied the other party before ending the call.
Lucas’s phone rang again and he saw the location of his man, “Lorenzo, summon the dark forces!” ordered Lucas with a deadly aura.
“Yes boss!” Lorenzo replied before calling the mafia under Lucas’s jurisdiction.
“Someone wants to be erased from this world, let’s grant their wish, kill and bury all those involved in the kidnapping of my wife! No one shall be left alive!” Lucas gave a chilling command, his eyes turning red, reflecting both anger and coldness on his face.
