Chapter 26 Don’t Pretend to be Rich if You’re Poor

Book:The Reborn Wife Published:2024-5-1

“What did you say?” Caleb and Layla stepped forward and blocked Elena.
Even if they felt that they can’t afford to patronize this hotel, but that doesn’t give Mia the right to insult Elena!
Luacs clenched his fists and his knuckles crackled.
It’s a small world. This afternoon Mia saw him fighting off the men who she sent and now that she saw Luacs, she felt a little scared. But she had a man beside her and boosted her courage. “Why? Do you still want to fight? Elena, why do you keep hanging out with these trash? No wonder Ava said that you are beyond hope!”
Mia was Grace’s niece, was Ava’s cousin and always sides Ava.
“Who are you calling trash? Say that again!” Layla was so upset her face turned red.
“Aren’t you all?” Mia looks at the Manager, “Are you really hiring these people?”
“No, Miss, they are not the hotel’s staff.”
The manager saw the man who was with Mia and knows that he was someone that he could not offend.
His face darkens, looks at Elena and said, “If you are not eating here, then please leave.”
Mia coldly laughed and looked at them, “They wanted to eat here? It’s okay, they can eat if they have the money. But looks like they can only have a cup of water!”
The manager was about to order the security guards over when Elena said, “We are here to eat. Don’t tell me your hotel has a policy of paying before ordering?”
“This…” The hotel manager was dumbfounded.
Elena held onto Layla and walked to the lift. The manager wants to block them but he didn’t have the reason to. Although it was obvious that they cannot afford to eat there but to drive them out before they even ordered was unreasonable.
Elena and her friends entered the lift, Mia scoffs, “I want to see what they can afford to eat. Perhaps they can’t even afford an appetizer!”
She grabs onto the man’s arms and changed her tone, “Come on, let’s eat.”
The man gave the manager a card and the manager bowed happily, “So you are one of the Williamss, please proceed to the second floor, I will arrange the best table for you.”
“No need, just near to where they are sitting.”
Mia wanted to see if Elena and her three friends will share a plate of appetizer!
She gently shook Julian’s hand and pouts, “That’s the Elena who hurt my cousin first. That’s why I hate her, please don’t be affected.”
“You said that she hurt the socialite of Bentson City, Ava?” Julian was very fond of Ava.
But, after hearing that Dylan was after Ava, although he was also one of the Williamss, he was the son of the second father, so he was considered a distant family member.
Outside, he enjoys the fame but in front of the three Master Williamss, he has no status. That’s why he was with Ava’s cousin Mia. Anyway, Mia was also a beauty.
They went upstairs and the manager personally arranged their table. Even if he was a distant family member of the Williams family, in Bentson City he was still considered royalty!
The manager indeed gave them a place near Elena and her friends who were seated by the windows.
Mia sat down and asked Julian, “Julian, what do you want to eat?”
“You decide.” Mia was Julian’s new squeeze. He has always been very generous towards women.
“Then I’ll choose.” Mia ordered all the most expensive dishes. She intentionally raised her voice so that the people around her could hear.
Layla saw the dish that Mia was ordering and was shocked at the price.
A thousand dollars for a dish? Is that crazy?
“Why? Do you want to eat?” Elena placed the menu in front of them but non dared to order.
The appetizer alone cost a hundred, it’s ridiculous!
A plate of appetizer is enough for them to eat for a few days. The cost of this meal will break all their bank accounts.
Luacs looked at Elena, although her voice wasn’t loud it was firm, “Just order what you want, I…”
“No, this meal is on me. Just order.” Elena laughed.
But they didn’t dare to order.
“How? Is this your first time? Do you want me to recommend the specialties?”
Mia walked over undetected and laughed condescendingly, “I’ve heard that the lobster spaghetti is really good. It’s specially flown in that very day.”
Deep lobster spaghetti … Layla looked at the menu and her eyes opened wide in shock!
Nine hundred dollars! What kind of lobster is that? Does it feed on gold?
“Okay, let’s have one.”
“Elena…” Layla was unable to stop Elena and she placed the order.
Mia’s face changed and laughed, “Elena, even if you want to look fat by slapping your face, you need to see if you can swell to that extent!”
“Really? I’m so thin, why do I want to look fat? Come to think of it, I don’t want to look fat. Don’t tell me I should have your thunder thighs?”
What Elena said pierced directly into Mia’s pride. Her body figure was not bad but her legs are thick and stubby. She can’t wear short skirts because of those thick stubby legs!
“It is my first time here, and I’m not familiar with the specialties here.”
Elena waited for an answer and then laughs, “How about this, whatever they ordered, give us the same.”
She pointed at Mia, then she realized, “No, there’s only two of them, we are four. Give us two of everything they ordered.”
“Two… portions?” Layla and Caleb’s eyes almost popped out. Their hearts are racing.
The waiter didn’t believe, “They… what if they ordered the specialties …”
“Why? Don’t tell me you are not confident of your specialties?”
“It’s not this reason…”
“Then place the order. Don’t delay any further.” Elena saw the wine glasses, “And, let us have two bottles of ‘78 Sendevision.”
“What ’78 Sendevision? Elena, if you are not familiar with wine don’t make a fool of yourself!”
Mia was furious.
Elena this slut, actually is eating the same dishes as her and twice the portions! How is she worthy of it?
“What? You don’t even have Sendevision?” Elena didn’t even look at Mia and told the waiter, “Okay, if not, then two bottles of ’82 Consaice.”
The waiter was stumped, Elena then says, “Forget it, four tins of Sprite. You have Sprite, don’t you?”
Mia laughed coldly, “Ah! What 7882 nonsense no one has ever heard of wine? If you don’t know, then don’t…”
Julian was sullen and said, “Mia, come back.”
