Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 While she was waiting, the staff came over. “Hello, would you like the bill?” Anne’s face reddened, and she said, “Oh… wait for a while? She went to the washroom.” “You mean the customer who came with you? She left.” “What?” She was played by Michelle. She claimed to be unwell when she was running away! Now that Anne was left here alone, she had to pay the bill. “How much?” “The total is 12,356 dollars, and after rounding off, it’s 12,350 dollars.” Anne was speechless. Her hand stiffened as she looked at the dishes on the table. “So expensive…” “Mainly, it was this bottle of wine,” the staff said. “I didn’t drink it.”

The staff did not reply and just smiled. Anne knew that this was not an excuse not to pay. However, paying ten thousand dollars for a meal would make her heart bleed! “If…if I don’t pay, what would happen?” “We will call the police.” Anne took a deep breath and tilted her head. She raised her hands and said, “Take me, then!” The staff was speechless. She was weird! Anne could not care less about being an embarrassment. She could have bought so much milk powder for her children. Also, Nancy was now taking care of three children on her own, and she had to increase her pay. It seemed that if she were caught, she would have less stress! “Madam, this will put us in a difficult situation. My advice is that if you can’t afford it, don’t come to an expensive place like this. It’s embarrassing,” the staff said mockingly. Anne blushed and lowered her head.

The staff spoke in a louder tone, and the other customers heard and turned over. Even the manager came and asked, “What’s the matter?” “Sir, this person is refusing to pay for the bill,” the staff said. The manager looked at Anne and said, “I noticed you when you came in. Your clothes are so cheap. What were you thinking when you came in here?” Anne lowered her head to look at her shirt. Other than it being cheap, it was cleanly washed. Why would he say that? “If you don’t have money, ask your friends or family to pay,” the manager said. “I don’t have friends and my family…it’s complicated.” Anne dared not to ask for her aunt. Also, she had no money in her bank account, and she still had to take care of her kids. To choose between paying or calling the police, she preferred the latter. The manager said, “I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you. Since you’re so shameless, I have to call the police.” Meanwhile, a staff member ran over. “Sir, Mr. Marwood is here!” The manager jolted and quickly turned to the door with the staff. They stood politely before bowing all the way. The big and tall figure arrived and exuded a powerful aura. His dark and eagle eyes glanced over and fell onto Anne’s face. Anne had not expected to see Anthony. How she wished there was a hole for her to hide in… The manager noticed Anthony’s gaze, and he knew he had made a scene earlier, so he quickly explained, “This woman can’t afford to pay. This is the first time we have come across something like this. Sorry for the disturbance, Mr. Marwood. I’d like to send my most sincere apology on behalf of the restaurant.”
