Chapter 995

“My goodness, a two-million-dollar red wine? I don’t even have two million in my savings, let alone the money to afford such expensive wine!”

“Yes, me too! We have to thank Madelyn.”

“Wow, Madelyn. Is your brother here too? If he is, we should invite him to join us! We’ve never seen the CEO of Jardin Corporation in real life. We’ve actually never seen any big shots who appear on the covers of financial magazines in real life.”

“Yes! Madelyn, can we meet him?”

“I’m not very close to him,” Madelyn casually said to stop them from talking about it.

Madelyn continued cutting the cake while Clement and Dorian helped her with it.

Clement intensely looked at Madelyn’s delicate side profile as she focused on cutting the cake. Her stray strands of hair hanging around the ear made him want to tuck them. Her skin was also fair. She was a charming natural beauty.

Madelyn put down the knife. She then stood straight and happened to meet Clement’s eyes. She said with a smile, “I’m done cutting the cakes. You can start distributing them.

“Also, please return the wine! We’ve already ordered drinks. Let’s not trouble him.”

The studio employees thought they were lucky enough to taste such an expensive wine tonight. This was a wine that could make many envy them. When they heard Madelyn ask to return it, many of them suddenly stopped talking and were disappointed.

The waitress hesitated and said, “Ms. Jent, Mr. Jardin specifically instructed this. Also, he’s paying for all of tonight’s private room expenses for all of you. You don’t need to worry about this.”

The waitress would receive a substantial commission if this bottle of wine was opened.

Madelyn took the tissue handed to her by Clement and wiped off the cream that had accidentally gotten on her. She politely declined, “I appreciate his kindness. But please tell him that we can’t accept such expensive wine.

“Also, please return to him the money he’d paid. We’ll pay for our own expenses. Thank you!”

The waitress said, “But…”

She still wanted to say something, but Madelyn coldly interrupted, “Don’t you understand what I said?

Do you need me to repeat it?”

Upon noticing the tense atmosphere, Clement hurriedly said, “Return the wine! We’re just workfolks;

we can’t afford to drink such expensive wine.”

The waitress did not say anything further. She just turned around and left.

The waitress wondered, ‘Isn’t this the lady who was said to be getting married to the CEO of Jardin Corporation? It was such a huge news. And that was just a bottle of wine. Why do I feel like they seem more like enemies?’

The waitress had no choice but to report the entire situation to Zach.

In the opposite private room, Zach was still recovering from the effects of alcohol.

The waitress approached him and said, “Mr. Jardin, Ms. Jent has returned the wine and requested that all the money you paid is to be refunded to you.”

Zach was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed. He tiredly pinched his eyebrows.

It seemed like he had anticipated that Madelyn would reject him. That was why he felt so frustrated.

Zach responded, “Okay, I got it.”

The waitress missed out on the chance of getting the commission. She could only reluctantly return the wine.
