Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 130 Why Should I Treat Them to Such an Expensive Meal
Cherise continued packing her bag and said with a serious look. âI think Sunny has a point. Our
classmates helped me raise funds when my grandma was sick.â
Lucy pouted âAnd itâs just two thousand.â She was annoyed at the mention of this topic.. Before this,
when Cheriseâs grandmother was severely ill, she alone lent eight thousand to her. After Sunny learned
about it, he initiated a crowdfunding in the class. However, it turned out that the twenty-eight
classmates, excluding Lucy and Cherise, only contributed two thousand in total. Lucyâs contribution
alone was four times their total! So, 1 y was irritated that they had the nerve to claim credit and make
Cherise treat them to a meal.
âThereâs also the matter of the exam. Also, itâs just a dinner. Iâve gotten my scholarship. So, I can afford
it.â Cherise remained optimistic.
âYou can afford it? You dumb girl, do you know what you have agreed to? Do you know what kind of
place Viopril Palace is?â Lucy became exasperated.
Cherise was confused. âIsnât it a restaurant?â
âYeah, it is. Itâs where rich people go for their meals! The ten thousand from your scholarship canât even
afford a bottle of red wine there!â Lucy freaked out.
There was a sudden change in Cherise expression when she heard it. After remaining silent for a
moment, she mumbled, âWhat if⦠we donât order wine? Weâre just students. Itâs fine not to order wine.â
Lucy knocked Cheriseâs forehead. âOh, you hopeless girl! I said you canât afford a bottle of wine there
because the expenses there are high! A bottle of wine or an average meal can easily cost tens of
thousands! Treating the whole class to a meal there might cost you over a hundred thousand! Your
scholarship is just a drop in the bucket!â
Cherise pouted. âI see. She thought only the wine was expensive.
Seeing Cheriseâs dumbfounded look, Lucy pressed her lips in resignation. âShouldnât you be worried
now? Itâs 4 p.m. now. By 8 p.m., those people will be heading to Viopril Palace! How will you come up
with a hundred thousand in four hours?â
She shoved Cheriseâs phone into her hand. âQuickly call Damien!â
Cherise frowned. âWhy?â
âAsk him to send you some money! Heâs the one who claimed youâre from a rich family.

Now that the lie is almost exposed, he has to bear the responsibility.â
Cherise shook her head. âI canât call him. Heâs busy today.â
This was the first business deal Damien handled on her behalf ever since the Lyes. Enterprise was
renamed to the Shaw Group. Cherise thought Damien must be nervous, so she didnât want to disturb
him.
Lucy inhaled deeply. âWhat do you plan to do then?â
âStand everyone up.â Cherise uttered solemnly, âI donât like this rich girlâs identity anyway. Just let them
think I was bragging. They canât do anything to me if I donât show up tonight.â
Lucy shot a glare at her. âBut they will despise you.â
âLet it be then.â Cherise pursed her lips and carried her bag. âMy grandma only spent a few tens of
thousands when she was sick. A meal in Viopril Palace costs more than oneâs life. I wonât buy them the
meal.â
After taking a few steps, she recalled something and turned to complain to Lucy. âAnd they only raised
two thousand for me when my grandma was sick. Why should I treat them to such an expensive
meal?â
