Chapter 813
It was as if this was only a trivial matter.
“Yes,” replied Terrence.
At the same time, many people could not help guessing in their hearts. ‘Who is that woman who just left?’
‘Master Reed would even cripple one
of Feng Lai Group’s young master’s legs for that woman! That would be like declaring war with Feng Lai Group!’
‘Feng Lai Group is only a second-cla** family business in Emerald City, but… is it
worth it to just stand up for a mere
woman?’

On the other hand, Grace had stumbled
back into the private room. Perhaps the conflict just now had made her feel as if the alcohol was taking effect more quickly, causing her head to get even
dizzier.
“Grace, what’s the matter? You don’t look
so well,” said a colleague.
“No… Nothing.” Grace forced out a smile.
“Alright, alright. Our welcome party today is almost over, so let’s end it here. Let’s pay the bill and leave. We should let
Grace go back and have a good rest,”
said Andrea Schwartz. Then, she called
the waiter for the bill.
Their bill came to a total of 73,000
dollars, a bit more than Grace had
expected.
However, Grace originally thought that everyone would go dutch, but Andrea Schwartz only smiled at her and said, “Grace, everyone came to celebrate you joining our company today. Why don’t you pay the bill? You’re Jason’s girlfriend, so you should be able to afford this.”
။
Grace did not understand Andrea
Schwartz’s intentions until now. She was deliberately forcing her to pay the bill so
that she could go broke. At the same
time, she could find out whether she and
Jason were still together.
Grace only found it nauseating as she
looked at the smile on Andrea Schwartz’s
face.
“I don’t have that much money,” said Grace. Her bank account only had a total
of 7,800 dollars, which was all she had
left.
“Grace, are you kidding? Don’t be so stingy. Even if you have no money, you can ask Jason to pay for you. He’s so rich. He would be willing to foot the bill for
you,” Andrea Schwartz continued saying with a smile.
“I don’t have that much money,”
repeated Grace as her drunken
almond-shaped eyes stared at Andrea
Schwartz.
Andrea Schwartz’s heart suddenly
shuddered. Somehow, she felt fear.
‘What am I afraid of?’ Andrea Schwartz
muttered in her heart. If this could not
even force Grace to pay the bill, Grace and Jason were probably not together
anymore!
When Grace said she did not have that
much money, several other colleagues
immediately became a little unhappy.
“What? Andrea Schwartz, didn’t you say Grace would buy us this meal?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you say her boyfriend is Jason? How can she not even afford a
meal?”
Someone said to Grace, “Hey, Grace. Don’t keep up the appearance if you don’t have it. Now, great. You’re telling us you don’t have the money when it’s time to pay the bill.”
“I told you. How could Grace be Jason’s girlfriend? Her clothes don’t look the
part. They’re years old and she took the bus to work this morning. No expensive cars were picking her up!”
“That’s right. Hey, there must be limits to telling lies!”
They criticized with everyone chiming in.
It was as if it was Grace who told them
that Jason was her boyfriend.
