Johnâs expression darkened when he learned of Skylarâs brazen decision.He chided, âDonât blame me for being nasty. Iâll get my men to chase you out of the restaurant!â He took out his walkie-talkie, intending to call the security guards.Their conversation was cut off by a loud glass shattering.âDaddy, I didnât mean to do it!â Lola sobbed loudly while balling her fist in anxiety. She wanted to pick up a spoonful of vegetables that was placed in front of Skylar, but clumsily knocked the glass of red wine on the floor instead.Skylar patted her cheek and comforted, âItâs all right, sweetheart. Itâs just a glass of wine.âJohn decided to take advantage of the situation. âJust a glass of wine? Did you know that this glass was produced by the royal familyâs craftsmen? Itâs made with limited edition pure crystals, each costing 28 to 30 thousand dollars. You need to compensate for the glass because your daughter broke it. If you canât afford to pay, Iâll turn a blind eye if you leave right away,â he lectured.â28 thousand dollars? Did you inflate the price on purpose?â Valerie exclaimed, taken aback by the exorbitant price.
She did not believe that a common wine glass could transform into a rare crystal cup.John regarded the group with a haughty look and said, âI get to decide the value of the broken glass. Didnât I offer a way out? If you are unable to compensate for the cup, leave immediately!â He lifted his walkie-talkie and threatened, âIâll give you 30 seconds to get out of here. If not, Iâll have my men throw you out on the streets.â âYou⦠youâre such a bully!â Valerie screamed in frustration. Yulia, too, made a disdainful grimace.In contrast to their angry demeanor, Skylar laughed and gave the man a steely stare.John glared at him and challenged, âWhat are you laughing at?âSkylar smiled as he asked, âIf the wine glass my daughter broke is worth 28 thousand dollars, how much does the entire restaurant cost?âEven though he did not know what Skylar was up to, he answered to avoid appearing weak. â50 million dollars. Why do you want to know that?âSkylar ignored the manâs question and asked, âAll right, whatâs your bank account number?ââWhat the hell are you up to?â John demanded.âIâm going to compensate you,â Skylar said matter-of-factly.Despite his skepticism, John did as he was told, thinking that the man intended to pay for the broken wine glass.Skylar called Dianne and instructed, âTransfer 50 million dollars to the bank account that Iâm sending shortly.âJohn stared at the man blankly before breaking out into laughter. âYou canât even afford 30 thousand dollars. How do you plan to raise 50 million dollars?
Stop putting on a front!âSuddenly, his phone rang. He was astonished to see the notification alert from the bank. 50 million dollars has been credited into your account.John dreaded what was to come since he had misidentified a wealthy guy as a pauper, and angered him with his nasty demeanor.While John was still processing his thoughts, Skylar said lazily, âI paid 50 million dollars to take over your restaurant. You may get out of here now. Iâm sending my guys to tear this place down.â
