Daphne was utterly disappointed. She was shocked that Rita, her former classmate and best friend, had turned into someone like this.
Daphne shook her head and stood beside Fade. She said, "Rita, I didn't expect you to become someone like this. You are in the wrong. You have to apologize to Fade."
When Rita heard this, she yelled, "Daphne, are you kidding me? You said I'm wrong, and you asked us to apologize to a bumpkin like him. This is so funny!"
When Daphne heard this, she was infuriated. She said, "Rita, I don't know what you've gone through to become who you are today. I won't contact you again in the future."
The meaning was obvious, she wanted to end their friendship.
When Rita heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "Daphne, are you trying to cut me off?"
"Humph, it's not a big deal. Do you really think that you are important just because we were nice to you?" she continued.
"After so many years, you're just a doctor. My husband and I are now the owners of a company.
We have more than ten million in assets. It's no pity to be losing a friend like you."
"You've got tens of millions of assets!" Daphne's eyes burned in anger. She recalled something and questioned, "Didn't you say that your company was in a critical situation and near the brink of collapse?"
Rita smiled and said, "Daphne, I didn't think you're still this naive. You'll believe whatever we say!"
Daphne shuddered and her face darkened.
Fade reached out his hand and gently patted Daphne on the shoulder. Then he looked at Rita and Dylan and said coldly, "You lied about needing the Ephedra Syrup to save your company. It's a complete hoax. Your real purpose is to get a batch of Ephedra Syrup and sell them at a high price in another city, right?"
Rita said, "Since you've got it right, I might as well tell you. What we said just now was indeed made up. We are going to make a lot of money by selling Ephedra Syrup."
Looking at Rita's shameless attitude, Daphne was enraged. Pointing at Rita, she said, "Rita, you, you..."
Rita was indifferent. Instead, she said, "Daphne, this is how you do business. In order to make money, weaving a few lies is nothing."
Daphne felt that she no longer knew the woman in front of her. She turned around and was about to leave.
However, Rita was not willing to let her go. She ran over, stopped Daphne, and said, "You have to repay my kindness first before leaving."
"Kindness! You—" Daphne was so furious that she couldn't continue speaking.
Fade gently held Daphne's shoulder, then looked at Rita and said coldly, "I will repay your kindness on behalf of Daphne now."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fade. They were curious about what would he do.
Fade walked to the large table in the center of the venue, which was full of food and drinks. He picked up a plate of food and a glass of water. He turned around and said to Rita, "Your so-called kindness was helping Daphne to get food and water, right?"
"Now, I'll give them all back to you." Whilst speaking, Fade slammed the plate of food onto Rita's face.
