Due to the immense popularity of Pearl on the Water in Five-river Province, combined with it being the weekend, the restaurant was packed by six in the evening.
Elize Yarrow was in a terrible mood all afternoon because of her family, so she even forgot to reserve a spot.
It was not until Simeon Kensington drove his sports car to the Yarrow Family’s house that Elize Yarrow remembered this matter.
Sure enough, upon arrival at Pearl on the Water, there were already more than a hundred people in line.
Just as Elize Yarrow was at a loss of what to do, she happened to run into Julius Reed, who was dining alone by the window.
They say enemies are bound to meet, especially after the dramatic encounter at the airport; now they were meeting again in the evening.
“Hey! Why are you going over there when you’re not even familiar with him? If he sends us away, that’ll be so embarrassing!”
Simeon Kensington stood her ground, absolutely refusing to go over.
They had only met once and didn’t know each other, so why would she just go up to him like that?
“You coward! What’s there to be afraid of! In broad daylight, they can’t just eat us up!”
Seeing her best friend’s attitude, panic swelled in Elize Yarrow’s heart.
Having promised to dine here, if she were to break the appointment again, Simeon Kensington might give her the cold shoulder for a while.
With her family pressuring her about the arranged marriage, if Simeon
Kensington also started ignoring her, Elize Yarrow would truly lose her mind! “Simeon, let’s go! If push comes to shove, we’ll share a table! We’ll treat them!” She had no choice but to coax again.
“Fine! But if he’s not willing, we’ll leave immediately!”
Simeon Kensington was not like Elize Yarrow; she didn’t like to strike up conversations with strangers,
especially those she had met only once and didn’t have a particularly good impression of at first.
Seeing her best friend finally relent, Elize Yarrow hurriedly trotted over to Julius Reed.
“Hi! Handsome!”
She stood next to the table and greeted him.
But Julius Reed glanced up, then lowered his head to continue eating.
“Ignoring me! Am I invisible to you?”
Being disregarded like that, Elize Yarrow exploded!
As Miss Yarrow, who usually had everything handed to her and was surrounded by countless boys, she couldn’t believe she was being ignored today!
“Let’s go! Stop making a scene here!”
Simeon Kensington tugged at her arm, eager to escape from the situation.
This is so embarrassing!
The restaurant was already crowded, but now that Elize Yarrow had raised her voice, she immediately drew lots of attention.
“No way! I can’t swallow this pride! The family is pushing me to marry that jerk
Atlas Leopold, and now I’m being bullied by a stranger, I…”
Saying this, Elize Yarrow’s eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.
“Sit down!”
It was at this moment, unexpectedly, Julius Reed spoke up, inviting them to sit.
“What did you say?
Elize Yarrow wiped away her tears, somewhat in disbelief.
He had been so cold to her just a moment ago, could it be that her tears had moved him?
They say a woman’s tears are the most powerful weapon, but it wasn’t as though she did it on purpose; she was genuinely almost brought to tears from frustration.
“Sit! Today’s food and drinks, I’ll pick up the tab!”
Julius Reed wiped his mouth and leaned back in his chair, saying with a grin, “What’s the matter? Not daring to sit? If you don’t dare to sit, then don’t disturb me here!”
He hadn’t planned on paying attention to the two ladies, but when Elize Yarrow mentioned Atlas Leopold, things changed.
Everything that happened in Gonzalez City before started because Atlas Leopold spread the video, which led to today’s situation.
Just right, he could take this opportunity to retaliate against Atlas Leopold.
And let everyone know that he was in Five-river Province.
The world is really small.
“Sit down quickly!”
Fearing Julius Reed would change his mind, Elize Yarrow directly pulled Simeon Kensington to sit across from him, a smile also on her face.
“Sorry to disturb you today, but don’t worry, we’ll pay for all the expenses!” Elize Yarrow quickly explained.
Being able to sit down was already satisfying; she certainly didn’t want the other party to pay.
The Yarrow Family was rich, and she wasn’t short on money either.
“Whatever!”
Julius Reed didn’t say much else, just started eating on his own.
The restaurant was of high class, and the food tasted very good.
Even the extremely picky Julius Reed ate with relish.
When Elize Yarrow took the menu, she also began ordering dishes.
“Beauty! Why sit here? Just come to me, I’ll arrange a seat for you!”
Just then, a man in a suit, followed by several hooligans, walked up to their table.
And he plopped down next to Elize Yarrow.
“Get lost! ”
Without any politeness, Elize Yarrow cursed outright!
“Yo! Such a fierce temper!”
The man still had a smile on his face as he looked up at Julius Reed seated opposite and said, “Kid, get lost! I’ll keep company with these two ladies today!”
After speaking, he again looked cheerily at Simeon Kensington and Elize
Yarrow: “How about we all have a drink together?”
No sooner had his words ended than the hoodlums behind him brought over three wine glasses filled with red wine.
“Sorry! We don’t drink alcohol!”
Simeon Kensington said with a stern face.
She hated this kind of spoiled rich kid and was from a decent family herself, so she spoke very bluntly.
“Heh! The little miss has quite the temper! But with so many brothers behind me, you gotta give some face! Otherwise, I can’t control what these brothers of mine might do!”
The man snorted coldly, his tone full of intimidation.
His henchmen behind him even more so wore malicious smiles, itching to act. “Fine! I’ll drink with you, and then you better scram immediately!”
Elize Yarrow, thinking it would be less trouble to comply, grabbed a glass ready to drink.
“I told you to get lost, are you deaf!”
At this moment, the man looked towards Julius Reed who was still eating across from him, his face instantly turning grim.
“I’m sitting here just fine, why should I leave?”
Julius Reed didn’t even lift his head, continuing to slowly eat the steak on his plate.
“Throw him out for me!”
The man commanded his henchmen behind him, and those tattoo-covered hoodlums immediately went over, starting to make their move. “There’s a drugged drink in the glass!”
After saying that, Julius Reed looked up and wiped his mouth.
“What did you say!”
The man’s complexion changed drastically, and he threatened viciously, ‘Get out!”
“Damn! You dare to play me!”
Elize Yarrow, seeing the man’s expression, immediately realized the severity of the situation!
She threw the wine right in the man’s face and cursed angrily, “Get lost!”
The man, being doused like that, instantly directed his fury at Elize Yarrow!
“You bitch! It’s your good fortune that I’m into you, and you dare to splash wine on me!”
He stood up fiercely, about to slap her…
Smack!
But after the sound came, the man was clearly stunned.
Because the young man who had been sitting opposite him had actually stood up first and slapped him across the face!
