Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 She Was Unable to Pay for the Takeaway, That Was a Great Mortification to Her

The music stopped, and those girls around felt something was wrong.

Viola was worried about being embarrassed, so she hurried to Adeline's side, and said in a low voice, "Adeline, pay the money."

Adeline didn't say anything and looked at her indifferently.

Viola was nervous and she continued, "Adeline, please pay the money quickly. Don't embarrass me, please!"

Adeline smiled lightly. She walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and said, "Whoever ordered the takeaway will have to pay."

At the same time, Viola's friends looked at her mother and her with distaste, "It's only ten thousand dollars takeaway, and you can't afford it? You can't even pay for this, and you say you are a rich girl?"

Viola's face was full of embarrassment, and she stared at Adeline.

The chef's helper glanced at Adeline. Then, she looked at Edith and repeated the unit's number, "May I ask who is the owner of this house?"

Adeline sat on the sofa with a calm posture. She wasn't in a hurry to answer. There was always a faint smile on her face.

Viola stared anxiously at Edith, beckoning her to pay the money.

She would be done if they didn't pay the money and Adeline admitted that she was the owner of the house.

How could she still be proud in front of her friends in the future?

Edith's expression froze and she walked up to the helper in the back kitchen awkwardly. She took out her bank card and said, "Here you go."

The chef's helper took out the POS machine and scanned it.

After two beeps, the helper frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, madam. The balance is insufficient. Please change to another payment method."

As soon as he finished speaking, those girls around started to whisper.

Viola was even more anxious by then. She walked over and blamed, "Mom, why is the balance insufficient?"

As she spoke, she opened Edith's mobile banking software to check the balance, and it showed that there were only five thousand dollars."

"Oh, Mom, do you forget that you just use your bank card to buy a bag worth more than 40 thousand dollars yesterday? No wonder there is no money in it. Use your credit card instead."

"I' m sorry, but our restaurant doesn't accept credit cards." The helper politely reminded.

At the same time, a friend of hers burst out laughing.

"La Prime is the most famous restaurant in Prodiff for sashimi. Their specialty is that all sashimi ingredients are selected from the top and freshest seafood, and the best parts are selected for cooking, while the rest will be thrown away. So, the price is relatively high."

"Another feature of this restaurant is that it doesn't accept credit cards or pay afterward. Because the service fees of credit card merchants are too high. Viola, all the socialites, and ladies in these circles know about it. How could you and your mother do not know about it?"

Viola's expression became extremely awkward, and she tried to force a smile, "Oh, I have been to too many restaurants and I can't tell which is the one."

Viola poked Edith with her elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, pay the money."

Edith glanced at her Apple Pay, and there wasn't enough money as well.

She had to pinch and scrape from everywhere. She asked the chef's helper to scan her WhatsApp for five thousand dollars and then scanned her Apple Pay for two thousand dollars.

She couldn't pay the rest no matter how hard she tried. There was a great mortification to her.

"Madam, there is still a shortfall of three thousand dollars." The helper in the back kitchen reminded her.

Edith had no choice but to look at Adeline, and said in a bad tone, "Hey you, pay the money quickly!"

"Why?" Adeline looked at her with a smile.

"Why? You are the owner of the house! Food is delivered to you, and if you don't pay, who will?" Edith was so anxious that she started talking nonsense.

As soon as Edith finished speaking, Viola glared at her angrily.
