Chapter 168
Even though their behavior was a bit embarrassing, | couldn't stand the attitude of the waiters looking down on
the customers. | turned to Clem and said, "You can leave now. We don't need you here anymore."
Before she could respond, Veronica, standing nearby, grew unhappy. "Hey, William, when did it becyour turn
to call the shots? Louis hasn't said anything yet. Why are you talking?"
| froze for a moment, speechless, then glanced at her. | wanted to say something but ultimately decided to
remain silent. There was no point in speaking to such a person. She could do whatever she wanted.
Mrs. Brown gavea disdainful glance and snorted. "Felicia, you're not any less attractive than Veronica. How
did you end up with someone like this?"
Her words were truly laughable.
Felicia could easily be considered a campus beauty, while Veronica could barely qualify as a department beauty.
How could she even say that Felicia wasn't prettier than Veronica?

However, Felicia seemed used to such belittling and only smiled faintly. "Mrs. Brown, everyone has their own
preferences. You love your son-in-law, so you should cherish him. As for me, | chose someone | truly like, so
there's no need for you to worry."
Mrs. Brown scoffed before saying, "I simply wanted to remind you. The Cylon family has been poor for
generations. If you don't find a rich husband, you'll be poor for generations to come!"
Her words were becoming increasingly mean, which madefurrow my brow.
Felicia and Mrs. Cylon had tolerated all of this, so | also decided to tolerate it. But my patience had its limits.
Now that it was exhausted, | couldn't hold back anymore. | directly responded, "Speople becwealthy,
but their souls remain impoverished. Others remain poor, but their minds are as rich as the world's wealthiest.
"And then there are those who are the most interesting-neither wealthy nor spiritually rich. We usually call these
people nouveau riche."
Louis suddenly stood up, his face flushed with anger. "William, what do you mean by that? Are you callingor
Mrs. Brown a nouveau riche? I've been nice to you, but you can leave if you don't want to eat!"
| immediately rose from my seat. "Fine. I'll leave right now. Mrs. Cylon, let's go."
| had long since lost the desire to stay with them.
Since Mrs. Cylon had call the way here, | couldn't let her leave without enjoying herself, at least for the few
days she was with me.
"Hey, William, that... Isn't this a little inappropriate?" She looked atnervously and gestured with her eyes
signaling that we couldn't afford to offend Mrs. Brown.
| smiled faintly. "Mrs. Brown, we won't disturb you while you eat. We'll head out
and grab something simple. You won't mind, right?"
Mrs. Brown immediately replied, "If you want to leave, leave. | don't care."
"Wait!"
At that moment, Veronica stood up "William, are you trying to leave? We made plans yesterday, and you
promised to cover my mother's stay.
What's going on now?"

I simply said, "Don't worry. We'll meet downstairs in an hour. I've already booked a
room for you. I'll take you there."
"That's more like it. Just wait for us downstairs after you've finished eating."
| shook my head, took Mrs. Cylon and Felicia, and left the private room.
Clem, with a glance, immediately followedoutside.
"Mr. White, I'm sorry. | didn't expect my actions to cause you trouble."
| glanced at her and replied
indifferently, "It's fine. I'm not on
good terms with them anyway. | e another private roo
for
me."
