"Yes, I'll call that despicable woman right away!” Saskia took out her phone and dialed Miriam's number.
Miriam, who was busy in the kitchen of one of her three restaurants, picked up her phone. Seeing it was her sister-in-law calling, she hesitated for a moment before answering, "Saskia, you helped me secure such big customers. I appreciate it!"
"Haha... As I always say, family should be kind to one another! Um... Miriam, I've thought about it, and it's not easy for you and Sammy to entertain over 600 people. So, here's the deal, they'll eat at your restaurants, and after they’re done, you can take them to my inn."
Saskia was polite at first, but her last sentence sounded a bit like a command.
Miriam smiled faintly. "Saskia, these soldiers are the heroes who saved us. No matter how tired or difficult it is, it's worth it. I'll continue doing this business even if I lose money, so don't worry about me!" With that, she hung up the phone.
There was no doubt that Saskia had come to Treasure Street to watch her fumble. However, when she realized that the people she was entertaining were the soldiers, she immediately regretted her actions. What was this nonsense?
"Argh! I'm furious, absolutely furious! How dare that despicable woman hang up on me?!" Saskia immediately pushed open the car door and headed toward Miriam's restaurant.
Just as Miriam stepped out of the kitchen, she saw Saskia approaching with a furious expression. Her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to block her path. "Saskia, what do you think you're doing?" she asked in a lowered tone.
Saskia's eyebrows shot up. "Did you not hear what I just said? After they’re done eating, you are to take them to my inn!"
Miriam naturally would not agree to it and made up an excuse, saying, "Their leader already paid the deposit just now. They're definitely staying at our inns tonight.”
With a loud smack, Saskia slapped Miriam across the face. "You despicable woman! I'm not negotiating with you, I'm ordering you!"
"You..." Miriam raised her hand as if to retaliate.
