My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 20

The disdain in Sally's words was apparent to everyone, and she had also offended more than just Madison.

The expressions of some people present subtly changed due to that sentence, but constrained by the situation and not wanting to cause trouble for the restaurant, they suppressed their anger.

Madison seemed not to notice the mockery in Sally's words, maintaining a standard smile. "Miss Hale, everyone has their hardships in this world. Our restaurant's staff work hard, and students studying and conducting research in labs at school have their challenges, too, right? Even big stars like you, earning four hundred thousand dollars a day, must have your difficulties. Furthermore..."

She raised her head, making direct eye contact with Sally, her gaze sharp. "Furthermore, Miss Hale, you don't seem to have seriously studied much yourself, so why are you criticizing me?"

"You!" Sally's expression almost faltered.

She was a well-known celebrity in the industry, but her education was a sore point for her.

Due to low scores in her academic subjects, she hadn't qualified for a prestigious domestic university. Instead, the Hale family used their financial power to enroll her in a collaborative international university.

Because the university was famous, when her fans knew about it, she was crowned as academically brilliant. However, the subsequent fan-created title of "academic genius" didn't last long.

People quickly discovered that the so-called genius hadn't even met the undergraduate admission requirements, leading to numerous sarcastic posts.

Thanks to swift PR action, they managed to remove the trending topic and promote the image of a foolish beauty, saving Sally's public image.

In recent years, it had been largely forgotten, but her education remained Sally's only stumbling block in her otherwise smooth career. Hence, she couldn't help but get angry!

Seeing Cynthia holding up her phone to record the scene nearby, Sally suppressed her anger.

After a moment, Sally's expression was replaced by confusion, and she cautiously waved her hand. "Madison, I didn't mean it that way. You know I'm a bit foolish and not good at expressing myself. What I meant is, if you had studied more back then, your work now might be a bit easier..."

Madison raised an eyebrow slightly.

The entertainment industry often said that rising stars got where they were based on promotion, while the top stars needed luck.

Madison became a top star, not without reason. Her acting skills were natural.

However, Madison had no interest in watching Sally's performance and interrupted her. "Miss Hale, let's not discuss other matters. Let's focus on resolving any dissatisfaction you have with our food. Can you please point out the specific areas you are not satisfied with?"

Not satisfied? Sally was dissatisfied with everything!

The restaurant was far and remote. If she hadn't heard that the heir of an imperial chef, Greg, was showcasing his skills here today, she wouldn't have come.

But when she asked, she realized that the food served was not even prepared by Greg. They were no different from the usual offerings at the restaurant. She had already posted about eating food prepared by Greg on her social media, and this embarrassed her.

Sally frowned. "Madison, I won't make things difficult for you on your account. I'll be straightforward with you. The food here tastes bad and is expensive. How can I be satisfied with it?"

For a chef, the greatest insult was undoubtedly when a diner described the food as "bad."

The chef responsible for Sally's table is Justin Parker, an older student of Greg, and he was present at the moment.

Upon hearing the word "bad," he couldn't hold back and jump out. "You say my food is bad? Then, please tell me, which part is bad?"

Since Justin graduated from his apprenticeship with Greg, almost all the food from the private rooms in the Rose Garden was prepared by him. This was the first time someone criticized his cooking!

Sally stepped back, covering her face, her gaze full of disdain. "Everything is bad. If your restaurant doesn't promote itself as having an heir to an imperial chef, I wouldn't have come to eat here. And this is the result? It's just deceptive! I never..."
