Before Skylar could answer, Naomi next to him said, âDad, itâs very expensive! I heard Ash say that their menu. starts at four-figure prices for each dish.â
âFour-figure?â
Nathaniel was stunned.
âA plate of vegetables costs thousands? Then, the meat dishes must be over ten thousand. For four of us, would a meal cost tens of thousands? This is so scary! How can we have such a scheming place in Cloudtopia?â
Skylar smiled. âDad, whatâs wrong with a menu that is clearly priced? When you come to a restaurant like this, itâs not just about eating, but itâs about enjoying their top-notch service.â
âNo, no, no. One meal is almost a yearâs salary for me!â
Nathaniel waved his hand. âGo to another restaurant! I think there is a restaurant beside the road that offers buffet at a hundred dollar.â
âYes, Skylar, Mom knows you have become rich now, but we canât spend money like this. Besides, you havenât married yet!â
Winona Hammond also agreed.
Skylar was just about to say something when he heard a voice coming from next to him.
âHey, Nathaniel, itâs really you! Your wife is right. Is your money enough for your sonâs marriage? Look at what your family is wearing. You better just eat at the road stalls!â
Skylar looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman approaching.
Behind her followed a young couple.
âClarissa Jacobs? I havenât offended you, have I?â
Nathanielâs face instantly darkened, and Winona was also unhappy.
Skylar remembered that Clarissa initially lived across the street from the house of the Fuller family, and they were not rich as well.
But then, Clarissaâs daughter married a rich husband, and it wasnât long before Clarissa moved to her son-in- lawâs house.
The young couple beside Clarissa must be her daughter, Angelica Guerrero and her son-in-law, Harlan Garraway.
Nathaniel questioned Clarissa. But Angelica interrupted. âMy mother is afraid that you will not have the money to pay the bill at such a high-class restaurant and be beaten up by others. That would be really embarrassing if that happens!â
Angelica was mean.
Without waiting for the crowd to respond, Angelica asked Naomi meaningfully. âWhereâs Brian Stephenson? Arenât you two married? Although the Stephenson family is not as good as my in-laws, you are still considered to be lucky to find a rich man. Be sure to hold on to Brianâs heart, lest you suffer a great loss.â
Angelica was only one year older than Naomi. They grew up always being compared by both parents.
Naomi had always won Angelica, so Angelica had long held a grudge against Naomi.
Ever since Angelica became the daughter-in-law of the Garraway family, she looked forward to the day when she could be arrogant in front of Naomi.
Today, she finally got the opportunity.
Hearing what Angelica said, Naomi bit her lips and said. âThe wedding is cancelled.â
âWhat? Canceled?â
Angelica said, âSo you failed to marry a rich man, huh!!
âAngelica, donât go too far!â
Looking at the arrogant Angelica, Naomi was infuriated.
However, the angrier she was, the more pleased Angelica was as she thought Naomi was jealous.
Just then, Skylar chuckled. âNaomi, itâs just a few barking dogs. Why are you angry? Donât spoil the good mood of our dinner.â
