Chapter 170

Clem's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Mr. White, please don't misunderstand. | would never do this

if they had touched a single piece! | swear on my life, they didn't touch anything. They were still taking pictures

just now!"

"| still find this a bit unpleasant. Here's what we'll do. Send this platter to table 22 downstairs as if it's my treat.

I'll pay for it later, and then you prepare another platter that is exactly the sand send it to our private room

as if it's a gift from your manager. How does that sound?"

She finally relaxed. "Understood, Mr. White."

"Good."

| went downstairs to the kitchen to pick out sfresh seafood, had them prepare

it, and then brought two bottles of white wine to the private room.

Seafood paired perfectly with white wine.

Mrs. Cylon wasn't used to drinking, but I insisted she have a couple of glasses. That was the thing with wine-if

one didn't drink it, one would never get used to it. But once one drank a little more and got accustomed to the

initial taste, one would start to appreciate its subtle fragrance.

That kind of enjoyment was unlike any regular drink.

After eating, she looked at the leftover seafood with a pained expression. "What should we do with all this

leftover seafood? It's such a waste. Let's take it home."

| quickly stopped her. "Mrs. Cylon, we can't take it. It's fresh seafood. If it's not stored properly, it could spoil, and

eating it could make us sick."

"But we can't just waste it! These shrimp are huge. They must be expensive! You can't just throw them away. Let

| couldn't help but laugh.

It was Mrs. Cylon's first there, and | planned to treat her to every meal. | wasn't about to let her cook risotto

with the leftovers.

But seeing how unwilling she was to let it go, | felt it would be a waste to throw all the seafood away, especially

the Dragon Palace, from which we'd barely taken a bite.

| thought for a moment and then suggested, "How about this? I'll talk to the kitchen, have them prepare the

seafood, cook it, and send it to the hotel staff in your name. They can take it if they want. Otherwise, we can

send it to the sanitation workers outside. That way, it's like we're doing a good deed."

"Oh, that's a good idea!"

Finally, Mrs. Cylon was happy, and | couldn't help but smile, feeling touched. She

might be poor, but her heart was made of gold.

Once downstairs, | carefully settled the bill without letting her see. If she had seen the bill for over 20

thousand dollars, she would

probably have been so upset that

she wouldn't have been able to sleep that night.

After ten minutes, with no sign of Louis and the others, we decided to wait at a nearby table.

Clem soon brought us stea and fruit. Another five or six minutes later, Louis and the whole family walked to

the cashier to pay.

"This can't be right! Are you sure you've got the correct numbers?" He stared in disbelief.

"How could it be this much? | only pre-ordered dishes worth a little over 3,000!" Still smiling despite his angry

tone, the receptionist calmly replied, "Sir, this lady ordered two bottles of wine worth 5,000 each, totaling ten

thousand."

She pointed at Mrs. Brown, who looked horrified. "I-I didn't know. | tried the wine in the private room, and it was

good, so | cdownstairs and casually ordered two more bottles."

"And our hotel's best private room service charge is 20%. Since you don't have a VIP membership, the drinks

from the fridge are also charged, as listed here. The total comes to 18,632, and after discounting the service

charge, you still need to pay 18,600."
