The shrill laughter reverberated throughout the private room, while Amy and Fennyâs faces were painted with smug expressions of schadenfreude.
At this point, Beryl Mill, who couldnât stand their triumphant demeanor, blurted out, âWhat the heck is so funny? Canât even eating shut you guys up?!
You were the ones who first wanted to change to a bigger room to begin with. Now that weâve changed to a bigger room, again, itâs you, all sarcastic and all. Do you still want to eat today or not?
If you donât want to eat, then get the hell out of here!â
Beryl Mill, with her fiery temper, certainly wasnât going to tolerate Amy and her crew. Had it not been for Sherry Jonesâs mediation just now, she would have probably come to blows with them by now.
But at this moment, facing Berylâs hot temper, Amy and Fennyâs faces showed no guilt at all. Instead, they were looking at Beryl contemptuously, as if she was nothing in their eyes.
âBeryl Mill, what the hell are you talking about? Arenât we doing all this for Sherryâs good? Weâre thinking of her pocket too. Besides, what does it have to do with you?
Youâre a native from River North, what gives you the right to say so much? Do you really think this is River North? This is Sayon!
Sherry herself doesnât have a problem with it, yet youâre out here making a scene like a fishwife? I think the one who is not giving face to Sherry is you!â Amy retorted.
Upon seeing this, Fenny chimed in to support Amy, âExactly, did Sherry say anything? What does it have to do with you? Weâre doing all this for Sherryâs good!
She herself doesnât have a problem with it, and you, an outsider, are here nagging about it. Are you so anxious because we stepped on your tail?!â
âYou!â
Every word of Amy and Fenny was sharp enough to sting. This infuriated Beryl.
If this was in River North, she would have probably flipped the table and left by now.
But at that moment, Sherry Jones, who was in need, saw the awkward atmosphere in the room and hurried to speak up to smooth things over.
Though she didnât want to face Amy and Fenny, for now, only Amyâs boyfriend could help her, so she had to swallow her pride.
Enduring some humiliation is still bearable as long as she can help White Mitchell in the end.
Seeing Sherry Jonesâs subservient behavior, Beryl Mill regretted helping her set this up today even more.
The original plan was to reignite their bond as close friends. She had even bought gifts for Amy and her friends. But now, after a few years of not seeing each other, they had all become so snobbish.
Most importantly, they showed no gratitude for the times Sherry Jones had helped them, instead, they only humiliated her.
Thinking of this, Beryl was seething with anger. She folded her arms, puffed-out her cheeks and confronted them with a stern face.
âYou donât give me a good face, I wonât give you one either!â
Seeing this, Sherry felt distressed. Beryl had been dragged into this mess because of her. Without her, Beryl wouldnât have to endure this humiliation.
Meanwhile, seeing Berylâs embarrassment, Amy and her crew were ecstatic, their faces filled with an increasingly triumphant look, as if they were on top of the world.
At that time, the door to the private room opened slowly, with waiters presenting one exotic dish after another.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room eased a bit.
But just as Sherry tried to catch a breath, Fennyâs boyfriend, Jasper Lynch, looked around and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Then, Jasper Lynch feigned surprise and said, âMiss Jones, these dishes are good, theyâre all gourmet dishes, but thereâs no wine!
Jimmy, donât you agree? They say âgood wine pairs well with fine dishesâ. If we have fine dishes but no wine, it feels like something is missing.â
Frank, upon hearing this, a hint of a sly smile flashed in his eyes. He quickly caught-on and nodded and spoke indifferently, âIndeed, something is missing.â
At this moment, Amy chuckled and then turned to Sherry, âSherry, look, your hubby-to-be booked such a nice room for you and ordered such great dishes.
We havenât seen each other for so many years, shouldnât we open a bottle of good wine to celebrate?â
Good wine?
Upon hearing this, Sherry was immediately put on the spot. But still, she could afford wine that cost a thousand or two.
Sherry Jones gritted her teeth, preparing to have the waiter open a bottle of wine worth around 20,000 dollars.
Just then, Amy chimed in, âSherry, thereâs no need to open something so expensive, just casually get a bottle of red wine worth around 100,000 dollars.
I remember having some of that brand with Jimmy here last time, the taste was quite nice, Jimmy said it was passable.
It canât compare to Lafite, but itâs barely drinkable, anything with a lower price, well, wouldnât necessarily be.â
100,000 dollar-worth red wine!?
Berylâs volatile temper flared up again, pointing at Amy she reprimanded, âAmy, are you pushing your luck? Do you think youâre worthy of drinking a 100,000 dollars red wine?
I recall, when I brought back a 200-dollar bottle of wine to the dorm, you didnât show off like this!
What, have a few years seen gold plastered in your mouth? Must you drink a 100,000 dollars wine?â
Amy blushes, and then throws a hostile look at Beryl, too lazy to argue with her, turning to Sherry Jones she asks, âSherry, what do you think?â
Upon this, Fenny standing aside, sneers and comments, âAmy, your words could be misleading. If this gets out, people might think our Sherry canât afford a hundred thousand dollar wine.
Donât forget, Sherry is now the General Manager of the Jones Group, a trifling 100,000 dollar wine is nothing to her, right?â
After saying this, Fenny and Amy both started to laugh, their mocking tone evident in their giggles.
Thisâ¦
When Sherry heard this, her face instantly displayed her unease.
100,000 dollar wine went way beyond her budget.
Though she was now indeed the General Manager of Jones Group, she canât touch the companyâs money, her pay hasnât been issued yet, all she has presently are funds sheâd scraped together here and there.
End up without enough money to pay the bill later and things could get quite embarrassing.
Feeling desperate, Sherry could only appeal for help from Beryl with her eyes.
Beryl had money, a hundred thousand dollars meant nothing to her, however, Amyâs smug attitude irritated her.
With that in mind, Beryl grabbed her phone and sent a pissed off text to White, âThey want to drink expensive wine, itâs up to you. Sherry is struggling right now.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf you donât have enough, Iâll cover you for now.â
Less than a minute after sheâd sent her message, a waiter knocked on their private room door, carrying a bottle of brown liquor, followed by several other waiters bearing wine glasses.
Moreover, the waiter carried the liquor with the utmost respect, with white gloves on, before respectfully addressing Sherry Jones, âMiss Jones, this Wine was kept here by Mr Mitchell.â
Kept wine?
Upon hearing the words, the expressions on Amy and her friendsâ faces froze in confusion.
Whatâs happening?
White Mitchell keeps wine at Phoenix Fragrance Tower?
Heheâ¦
Amy and her friends scoffed coldly, what kind of wine could White Mitchell possibly have kept here? At most, it would be a bottle of red wine worth twenty or thirty thousand dollars.
Trying to show off in front of them with this kind of wine?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Deep in this thought, Amy scoffed coldly, and mockingly said to the waiter, âThereâs no need to take out a wine worth few thousand dollars, quickly take it back.
Today, we want to drink a 100,000-dollar wine!â
