"I don't care who you guys are, but how did you get in here?" Barbara scowled.
Her question went unanswered.
"You guys…" Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chloe and another person entering from the door.
“Mathew.” Seeing her brother with Chloe, Barbara's expression tightened instantly.
Mathew walked up to her, his handsome face shrouded in indifference. His gaze fell lightly on her, his voice icy as he said, "Move."
"Mathew! This woman bullied me! Why did you bring her back again?!” Becky was not convinced. She was embarrassed and annoyed to see Chloe. She was about to leave, so why did Mathew bring her back?
But Mathew ignored her, turning to Chloe to say lightly, "This is all Mr. Harper's arrangement. I've heard about what happened just now, and I'm sorry for it."
Chloe chuckled, seeing so much food from Z Country in front of her. Almost all the famous dishes were there. How much influence did he have to be able to support her from so far away in Y Country?
After Mathew finished speaking, the chef next to him spoke, "Mrs. Harper, Mr. Harper said that royal food might not suit your taste. He asked me not to let you 'put up with it'."
His words were subtle, but they effectively conveyed his meaning. To him, royal food was just something to fill her stomach with when she had no other choices.
Becky clenched her teeth, glaring at Chloe. She dared to look down on royalty?
Chloe smiled, her gaze sweeping over the dishes on the table. She raised an eyebrow, her eyes scanning over the artists in the banquet hall. Then she said with a light smile, "Dear artists, this is food from Z Country. If you don't mind, why don't we enjoy it together?"
Seeing so much food on the table, she knew that Damon definitely did not prepare it just for her. She understood his intentions.
The artists noticed too; someone was supporting Star. Judging by the amount of food, it was obvious that someone was inviting them.
Moreover, the world-renowned food from Z Country was something most of them had only heard of but never really tasted. They were all curious.
"Alright, then I will take your invitation."
"I'll try some too!"
Everyone gathered around, silver plates filled with food, chatting and laughing, with occasional bursts of laughter. People enjoyed the lively atmosphere while eating. The present atmosphere created a sense of harmony.
"Can I have some too?" A voice suddenly sounded beside her. Mathew looked down at Chloe; his dark blue eyes were cold, yet there was also a hint of anticipation.
Chloe nodded and replied, "Of course."
Mathew smiled. He turned and walked to the table to serve himself some food onto his plate.
When Becky saw Mathew mingling in the crowd, her eyes instantly reddened. "What does Mathew mean?! I just said that Chloe is not worthy to eat the royal meals, and he turns around to eat the food prepared especially for Chloe?!”
Barbara looked at Mathew with tightly pressed lips. "Don't ask. He's just trying to make you feel awkward. Can't you see that?"
Becky was both angry and aggrieved, "Why?! Why is he helping an outsider in bullying us?!”
