âYeahâ¦â The classmates continued discussing among themselves.
Lucy frowned and rebuked. âHow dare you mention that two thousand?â
In fact, besides Cherise, no one was considered poor in their class. Everyone received an average
allowance of six thousand monthly. They only forked out less than a hundred each for Cherise during
the crowdfunding. Yet, they thought they had done her a huge favor and wanted her to settle the bill for
their extravagant spending tonight.
Cherise inhaled deeply and uttered, âI almost forgot about it if you hadnât mentioned it.â
She reached out her hand to Lucy. âLucy, please lend me some moneyâ
Lucy immediately understood her intention. She took out five thousand from her wallet and passed it to
Cherise.
Cherise slapped the note on the table. âThis is my repayment for your kindness back then. I came out
in a hurry and didnât bring cash. Iâll divide another five thousand equally and transfer the money to your
bank accounts tonight. You gave me two thousand: Iâm returning ten thousand in less than a month.
The interest is exceptionally high.â
Lucy was so impressed by Cheriseâs calmness that she had the urge to applaud her! Although Cherise
was usually easygoing, she remained clear-headed in a severe situation. like this.
A stern visage flashed across Sunnyâs face. âCherry, this is not how you make the calculation. When
you were in trouble, we reached out to help you. A-Although the sum wasnât big, it was a timely help,
wasnât it? You canât repay our kindness like this just because our contribution was little.â
Cherise smiled at Sunny. âIâm a grateful person. But you shouldnât take advantage of me and ask me to
pay for this meal that cost over eight hundred thousand. This amount is enough to treat two terminally
ill children or build a decent primary school in hometown. Not to mention I donât have so much money;
even if I do, Iâll use it for more. meaningful things rather thanâ¦â

She paused to glance at the messy scene. âRather than spending in on a meal for a group of people
who never respect me.â Cheriseâs words were realistic and cold.
Her classmates became speechless. Moments later, Sunny regained his composure and said to
Cherise, âYouâre overthinking it, Cherry. We never looked down on you.â
âIs it?â Cherise wore a half-smile and turned to look at the receptionist. Iâve finished what I want to say.
The five thousand on the table is for paying their bill. As for the remainder,

She didnât have the obligation to pay for these wasteful people who never respected her.
With that, Cherise turned to leave, but Sunny swiftly dragged her back and gripped her neck. âDo you
want to see us arrested by the police? Cherise Shaw, you heartless woman!â
Lucy and the receptionist were caught off guard. The latter quickly went to get help while Lucy scowled.
âSunny, what are you doing?!â
âWhat am I doing?â Sunny grabbed a table knife, placed it at Cheriseâs neck, and glared at Lucy. âArenât
you her best friend? Call her family now and ask them to send money over!â
Cherise furrowed her brows and rebuked, âSunny Wood, youâre going against the law!â
âIs it?â Sunny sneered. âThreatening you to pay the bill is going against the law. If we canât
pay
the bill, weâre also going against the law and will be arrested by the police. The results are the same
either way!â
