Chapter 345
Sharon didnât let her hand touch Irene. She quickly grabbed the waitressâs hand, pushing it away forcefully. âIs this how your restaurant treats customers? We come here to spend money and eat, not to be driven out by your security!â she exclaimed. She thought, âI wouldnât have intervened if she had spoken reasonably. But I canât stand by once they lay hands on us!
The waitress was visibly taken aback upon seeing Sharon, While dealing with Irene, she felt Irene was timid and didnât understand much, making her act arrogantly. Being caught by an adult was embarrassing. However, it only lasted a few seconds before she regained her composure, her head lifted arrogantly. âWhatâs wrong with chasing you out? If you donât follow the rules of our restaurant, I have the right to chase you out!â
âThen please show me your restaurantâs rules, which say seating is allocated based on how much money is spent, Sharon retorted sharply. Being articulate
as her strength, and the waitress wasnât a match for her. Sharon left her speechless with just one sentence, and her confidence wavered instantly.
âEven if itâs not written, itâs an unwritten rule. Youâre supposed to eat outside, not in the private rooms. If everyone did this, how could we run our businessâ the waitress reluctantly responded after a long pause.
âJust earlier, there were two groups who didnât reserve private rooms, and you let them eat first,â Irene chimed in immediately, her voice clear and crisp. Table 32 and Table 45 only had two people!â
ihing unreasonable
Sharon refrained from immediately scolding Irene because she knew Irene had a sense of decency and wouldnât do something without cause. Hearing Ireneâs words now, Sharonâs eyes narrowed with resolve.
The waitress, caught off guard by Ireneâs astute observations, coughed awkwardly. âThey didnât use groupâbuying deals and were in more of a hurry than you, so we seated them first. If youâre trying to save money with group buys, you should know it ukes time. If you donât want to wait, you could come earlier or later. Why wait until mealtime?â
âWho says weâre not in a hurry?â Ireneâs voice rang out assertively. âWeâre even more in a hurry than they are! Also, when was your business when we decided to come, Maâam? Does your groupâbuying policy say we have to wait?â trene had inherited Sharonâs knack for speaking confidently and assertively
The waitress, who Irene referred to as Maâam, turned green with embarrassment. Ireneâs words had left her speechless; her face was pale, and she couldnât utter a word for a while.
âLetâs just go somewhere else to cat,â the customers, having lost patience, were about to leave.
Upon seeing the customers about to leave, the waitress hurriedly approached and profusely apologized. âIâm sorry for the bad experience. How about this! Iâll upgrade your room for you. Please donât leave.â
âThey havenât even paid yet, and youâre offering a free upgrade. What about us whoâve already paid? What will you do, Maâam?â Irene asserted confidently. The waitress was a terrible snob; Irene deliberately called her Maâam.
Seeing Irene handle the situation adeptly. Sharon decided to step back and remain silent.
The waitressâs face flushed with embarrassment. She had never expected to be confronted by a young child who was not even four, especially in front of customers. Her expression turned pale, almost on the verge of tears.
ve intervened. Not only did she
Sharon remained aloof throughout. She thought, âIf the waitress had simply given our table away, maybe I would have do that, but she also spoke disrespectfully. Some education is definitely in order!
Irene lifted her chin proudly, crossing her arms like a little scholar. âOur teacher says everyone should be treated equally. Itâs not right to look down on us. And if you think group buys are bad, you shouldnât offer them to us. Giving us a deal and then ignoring us is bullying!â
The waitress remained silent, stunned by Ireneâs articulate words. She had dealt with groupâbuying customers before but had never been confronted like this. Irene seemed remarkably articulate and adept at speaking her mind.
âEven kids understand these things, Maâam. Youâre just behind the times,â Irene said bluntly, refusing to back down.
With other diners around, the commotion was laeginning to affect innocent patrons trying to dine peacefully. Sharon glanced at the couple waiting for their meal and stepped forward. âIrene.â she began. âWhatâs going op?â a voice from a woman nearby interrupted her. Everyone turned to look.
They saw a familiar face walking over, accompanied by a man. The women had impeccabile makeup and a perfectly measured smile, showing none
trastiess seen during their time with the Gildon family. It was Christine Gildon.
of the re
The man Christine was accompanying was also not unfamiliar, On the contrary, it was pretty familiar. His usually stem and handsome face was unmistakable, even if worn down to allies. It was Edwin.
Even though they were linking arms without further gratures, it was clear that their relationship was not ordinary. Sharon thought, âHe was the one who tried to cozy up to me at the skating rink moments ago and is now turning around and behaving intimately with another woman!â she sneereil.

âBoss!â The waitress saw Christine, and her mournful face finally brightened with hope. She quickly explained. âItâs like this: These two are from a group buying deal. They thought I was unfair to them for making them wait and blocking the room from others. The waitress wasnât a fool Knowing she couldnât tell the truth, she purposefully omitted many details.
âOhâ¦â Christine nodded slowly, her gaze shifting over.
Sharon was stopped by the waitress and the two customers, preventing Christine from seeing Sharon Christine only saw Irene. She hadnât met Irene before and didnât know who she was. However, she had to show her thoughtful side in front of Edwin So she said, âWhether they are from a group purchase or not, if there are no seats outside, just arrange a private room for them.â
âAlright.â The boss spoke up, leaving the waitress with nothing to say but nodding hurriedly. Turning to the two, she said, âPlease come into the private room.â
âI donât care!â Irene shouted angrily, her eyes glaring at Edwin. She felt even more disappointed in Edwin t than in Sharon. She thought, âI thought he had changed for the better, even tried to help him get closer to Mommy Irene couldnât control her emotions, her eyes welling up with tears as she shouted and ran off
âTrene!â
Edwin had been on the phone until he heard Ireneâs voice. Upon seeing Ireneâs red, teary eyes, looking both upset and angry, his heart sank with concern, and he instinctively wanted to go after her. Sharon ran out and grabbed his arm, her gaze iey âMr. Stanley, donât upset my daughter!â she said sharply, then hurried after Irene.
âEdwinâ¦â Christine finally spotted Sharon and suddenly realized something, making a slight, unnatural exclamation.
In front of the waitress and the other guests, Edwin brushed off the hand Christine had linked with his arm, stating, âMiss Gildon, weâre not acquaintedâ
