There was a clear threat in Dima's tone. Miriam felt extremely bitter but could not show it, so she replied in a light tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Dima. We'll take good care of the guests!"
With that, Dima ended the call, leaving Miriam on the verge of tears. This was her biggest concern. The Roche family's status meant they had to be well entertained, which meant preparing a dish that cost 30 dollars with a cost of 40.
Sammy finished her calls then. Miriam drove out the second-hand BMW that Wagner had given her from the parking lot, her face filled with despair and her mind elsewhere.
Sammy opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, saying sweetly, "Mom, you don't seem very happy?"
"Happy? How can I be happy?" her mother replied. "Wagner only gave us the inns and the restaurants. He didn’t give us any capital. We’re gonna lose the 6,000 we earned from the restaurants over the past half-month tonight!"
Miriam glared at her daughter, adding, "It probably won't even be enough..."
"Then borrow some from your friend. Don't you have a wealthy friend?" Sammy suggested.
Her mother felt like killing someone. "She's helped us a lot over the years. How can I ask her for more?"
"Mom... I think the guests we're hosting tonight are the people who saved Munford," Sammy said, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the dim streetlights outside the car.
Shock took over Miriam, her body trembling. She looked at her daughter in disbelief and asked, "What... did you say?"
Sammy's bright eyes sparkled with wisdom. "Do you think Dima would personally contact people for casual restaurants and inns if he was really just dealing with his company employees?”
