Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 648
Sure enough, just as Emmanuel picked up his cutlery and grabbed some
food, Richie immediately sneered. âMy, my, donât you know how to pick! That
abaloneâs a delicacy! I bet one of them is worth just as much as your
previous monthly salary!â
It was blatant contempt.
-Tia didnât think Richie was impressive; instead, she found him repulsive. She
knew very well that Richie was trying to strike a heavy blow at Emmanuel
during the meal, making him give up.
However, Emmanuel turned a deaf ear and focused on eating the abalone.
After taking a bite of it, he wanted to take a sip of red wine. However, as soon
as he picked up the wine glass, Richie sneered again. âThatâs a 1982 Lafite. A
glass of it is more expensive than your own blood.â
Still, Emmanuel downed the entire wine in one sip, put down the glass, and
smiled. âWhy are you being so calculative? We arenât going Dutch, are we?
Donât tell me your family canât even afford to treat everyone here to a meal.â
Richie was instantly stupene
slightly ished.
âHuh, we can afford a blind date meal no matter how expensive it is!â Gillian
quickly took over the conversation, sounding loftier than her son. âToo bad Tia
already has a boyfriend, and weâre all just casually having a meal right now.
Canât you, as her boyfriend, even pay the bill for your girlfriend?â
Alas, the tables had turned.
Emmanuel couldnât help shaking his head. Indeed, those who were
pretentious were often stingy.
However, Richie misinterpreted it and thought Emmanuel was scared. As
such, he behaved even more arrogantly. âDonât eat if you canât afford to pay!
Honestly, where did you get your courage to impersonate Tiaâs boyfriend and
ruin our blind date?! You canât even feed yourself when youâre jobless now!
Can you still afford a car or a house? What can you offer Tia for happiness? A
penniless loser like you should stay single forever and not ruin women!â
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and spit even flew out
from his mouth toward the end.
Tia, on the other hand, trembled all over, never expecting that using
Emmanuel as a scapegoat would lead to such humiliation for him. She felt
deeply guilty. On the other hand, Emmanuel simply smiled and couldnât be
bothered to respond.
Unexpectedly, Cain butted in and boasted, saying, âWe own a family
business, and weâre also partners of Terence Group. My son graduated with a
degree abroad, and his cousin is a highâranking executive at Longine Bank.
What qualifications do you have to compare with my son?â
Pfft! Emmanuel nearly spat out the soda in his mouth. Whoa, what a
coincidence! Are they actually partners with Mackenzieâs company? Also, is
Richie the bank managerâs cousin?!
Meanwhile, Richie assumed Emmanuel was so ashamed that he couldnât lift
his head. With that, he prepared to deliver the final blow, wanting to make
Emmanuel run out bawling.
âWell? Have you realized how pathetic you are? Leave if you have any
selfârespect! Do you think you deserve a girlfriend when you have no money
or power?! Youâre only worthy of spending your life with your right hand!â
âYouâve crossed the line!â Tia finally couldnât take it anymore and rebuked
coldly, âAll you people talk about is money! Where are your manners?! Have
you no basic respect?! Itâs you who should be embarrassed!â
Emmanuel once again looked at Tia with higher regard. It seems like sheâs
completely different from Abellyn. I really hope she takes a liking to Ryder.
âYou⦠How dare you?!â Gillian was beside herself with fury. She couldnât
believe the young woman would go as far as to defend the poor loser and
reproach her family, even when Tia knew just how capable her family was.
Marianne was stunned as well. She couldnât believe her obedient daughter
would flip out on the Unger family for her soâcalled boyfriend.
