Chapter 252 Do You Deserve My Respect?
The soft lighting in the dining room was like a thin veil, gently covering everyoneâs face.
Aylinâs light makeup was classical and elegant. It was called soft shine, and it made her skin look as fair as jade. When it fell on the faces of Jacquelyn and Haleigh, it illuminated their expressions wonderfully.
Jacquelynâs eyes widened when she saw the amount on the bill.
There was nothing particularly strange about the dishes on the table, so how could they cost 45,000 dollars!
But she had already bragged about it.
Haleigh looked at Jacquelyn awkwardly. âI canât help you.â
Aylin crossed her arms and looked at them with a faint smile on her face.
âMiss, are there any problems with the bill?â The waitress stepped forward and held up the card machine with a smile.
âNo.â
Jacquelyn gritted her teeth and swiped the card furiously.
She looked at Aylin and wanted to say something angrily. Suddenly, there was a series of footsteps coming from the door. She heard it before she saw it.
âAyl.â
Every table in Deli Restaurant was private and separated by a curtain. When the man lifted the curtain and came in, the whole space was amazed.
He was tall and thin, and it was hard to hide his posture even if he was wearing mask. His eyes were bright and clear, and he looked amorous when his eyes moved.
Even though Jacquelyn had seen many handsome men, she could not help but be slightly distracted by him.
When Aylin saw Harry come in with a young girl, the coldness on her face. instantly melted.
âHave you parked your car?â
âItâs parked. I was looking for a space, and it took me a while.â
As he spoke, he tucked a strand of hair behind Aylinâs ear and said in a low voice with a smile, âTodayâs gown suits you very well.â
Aylin smiled. In Jacquelynâs eyes, this scene was just an act of shyness.
She bit her lower lip hard, her face ashen.
She knew that Gavynâs ex-wife should be a bumpkin. Even if she met her one day, she would trample her hard into the mud.
How could she have such a handsome man by her side!
Jacquelyn tightened her grip on her glass and said sarcastically, âI thought that the owner of the restaurant must be something special. I didnât expect that she relied on men.â
She went on to say, âWomen, itâs better to be independent. After all, relying on men ultimately means sacrificing oneâs self-
respect.â
Haleigh pursed her lips and agreed, saying, âThatâs the way it has always been. She canât do anything but seduce men. Sheâs just a restless woman!â
In her perception, even if Aylin was the daughter of the Koch family, she was just an ignorant fool. Could she run the most famous restaurant in New York on her own?
Haleigh didnât believe it.
When Aylin was in the Delacruz family, she only knew how to do the laundry and cooking. She didnât know anything about high-
end things, let alone running a business!
Harry was tidying Aylinâs hair when he heard that and glanced over.
The aura in front of him was sharp.
Haleigh was startled. He looked familiar, but for a moment, she couldnât remember where she had seen him before.
She gritted her teeth and said to the man, âIâm not wrong. Youâre with such a promiscuous woman. Arenât you afraid that she will cheat on you?â
Aylin curled her lips and glanced at her.
To be honest, she felt sorry for them. Even their imagination was lacking.
But reluctantly, she was willing to act.
Aylin took Harryâs hand and winked playfully. âIâm also distressed that youâre willing to let me rely on you.â
Harry and Aylin had a mutual understanding, and they understood each other. as soon as they locked eyes.
He gently smiled at Aylin, and his smile was really full of charm. âWell, Iâm willing to do anything for you.â
Jacquelyn and Haleigh were stunned.
Haleigh was furious, and her face turned pale.
Aylin was so shameless.
She didnât know how to do anything. Just because of her gorgeous face, so many men were willing to do anything for her!
Are these men blind?
Aylin smiled and glanced at her faintly from the corner of her eyes. âTsk, why do I smell so much jealousy? Is there someone who canât get a handsome man to like her?â
âThatâs true. No one likes old women.â
âNot to mention an old woman with no brain.â
âAylin Koch, you!â
Haleighâs chest heaved in anger as she looked at Harry. âYouâre just going to let your woman bully people like this?â
Abby was also a clever child. Seeing that the two of them didnât get along with her eldest cousin, she curled her lips speechlessly.
Sariah had tried her best but failed to hurt Aylin.
These two women were really overestimating themselves against her!
There were a few chuckles in the air, and Aylin looked at Harry with a smile. Her voice was clear and teasing.
âI bullied someone. Do you care?â
âWho cares?â
Harry smirked. Aylin had always been calm and self-possessed. It was so cute to see such a domineering look.
He was even worried that Aylin would be tired after wearing high heels.
He let her lean on him.
Haleigh vomited blood in anger.
Seeing that Haleigh could not win the argument, Jacquelyn put down the glass of water heavily on the table, causing a muffled sound and attracting Aylinâs attention.
She raised her head and looked straight over, frowning. âMs. Koch, right? Mrs. Delacruz is considered your former elder.
Although youâre divorced, you shouldnât talk to your elders like that. It makes people doubt your manners!â
She continued, âShame on you for dancing with a man in front of your elders! Do you think youâre charming just because youâre like this? I might as well tell you that street girls in the red-light district use such tactics to attract attention!â
Jacquelyn found it useful to start from the moral high ground, so the more she said, the more excited she became. âI hope you understand that the cheaper. the clothes are, the more versatile they are. Itâs not because theyâre of good quality, but because theyâre cheap and easy to get!â
Haleigh almost stood up to applaud Jacquelyn. How could she say something so decent yet so vicious? Why didnât she think of that?
âJacq, how could you reason with such a shameless woman? How could she listen to you? Sheâs just born to be promiscuous!
Iâm afraid she wonât be able to live without a man!â
Harryâs face darkened when he heard that.
It was only after receiving Aylinâs comforting signal that it did not break out into a fight.
Aylin held Harryâs hand and looked at Jacquelyn calmly with a cold smile.
âIf youâre so sure about my relationship with someone else, then let me give you a piece of advice. People with dirty hearts see everything as dirty! It seems that youâve done a lot of shameless things!â
Jacquelynâs expression froze.
âAnd you.â
Aylin glanced at Haleigh contemptuously and sneered unabashedly, âMy parents used to only teach me that there is no need to be tolerant of old, disrespectful people. Even your own son doesnât like you. You put on airs in front of me. Donât you know that you are always annoying? Do you deserve my respect?â
