“Rachel Grey, can you stop being so shameless? If you hadn’t pestered Louis while Olivia was away, he wouldn’t have agreed to it! Besides, if you hadn’t threatened him with the future of the company, Louis wouldn’t have agreed to marry you!”
Sometimes, Rachel couldn’t help but be amazed by Jane’s ability to falsely accuse others.
She would often be able to anger her with just a few words.
Rachel’s eyes were cold, and her gaze was sharp. Then, glaring daggers at Jane, she hollered, “I pestered him?! Have you forgotten how your brother, Louis, begged me to help the Smith family back then?!”
Faced with her cold eyes, Jane immediately felt a little intimidated as she subconsciously leaned closer to Olivia for protection.
Olivia maintained a mellow expression, but there was a trace of disgust deep down in her eyes.
She thought that Jane was a coward who was afraid of the powerful and only bullied the weak!
After calming down, she pretended to be kind and understanding. She unhurriedly said, “Rachel, Jane has no hostile intentions. If you don’t mind, why don’t we have dinner together? We can take this opportunity to clear the air and avoid any misunderstandings in the future. I reckon Louis wouldn’t mind.”
A cold gaze appeared in Rachel’s eyes, and she said with a trace of annoyance, “A good dog doesn’t get in the way. So please get out of the way!”
Jane immediately stomped her feet in anger. She pointed at Rachel and complained, “Rachel Grey, who are you calling a dog? Forget about leaving unless you make things clear today!”
“What happened?” Louis asked, his mellow and deep voice sounding behind.
When he strode over, he happened to catch a glimpse of Rachel, which caused a trace of bewilderment to surface in his deep eyes.
After all these years, he had already gotten used to seeing Rachel in a black business suit. But, now that she was wearing something in another color besides black, she was particularly eye–catching.
The color of her outfit accentuated her cold and aloof temperament, while her black hair and red lips added a touch of sultriness.
Standing at the side, Olivia stared at Louis, who was getting slightly distracted by Rachel. Her gaze gradually turned cold, and she clenched her fists tightly, maintaining a warm and mellow smile. “Louis, it happens that Rachel is having dinner tonight here too. So I want to invite her to join us. You won’t mind, will you?”
As she spoke, she naturally hugged Louis tightly, with her arms wrapped around his waist. She was declaring sovereignty.
Louis snapped back to his senses and looked down at the woman in his arms. Then, with an affectionate expression, he said, “You call the shots.”
Staring at the scene before her, Rachel found it all too ironic. She sneered and turned around to leave.
“Rachel Grey, we’re kind enough to treat you to dinner. Don’t be ignorant and ungrateful!” Jane barked, watching Rachel turn around to leave. She charged forward and blocked her from leaving. “Lansen Restaurant is the most famous fench–style restaurant in Seaxas. I heard that their
ingredients are all freshly flown in from France, Usually, you’d need a reservation to get in. If you barge in like this. I’m afraid you’d get chased out like a dog.”
“Get lost!”
Staring at Rachel’s cold, dark, and relentless eyes, Jane felt strangled for some reason. She subconsciously retreated. Before she could react, Rachel had already strode into the restaurant.
David, who was standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window on the second floor, frowned coldly after seeing their exchange. He turned around and picked up the roses on the table before walking out. “Speak to the manager and tell him that he can close for the day!”
“Yes!”
Eddie assented without hesitation and went straight to the restaurant manager after parting from David.
At that moment, Louis, Olivia, and the rest had already reached the entrance of Lansen Restaurant. However, before they entered, the waitress suddenly walked out and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, we won’t be open for business today.”
“What do you mean by that?!” Louis hollered, his face suddenly turning sullen.
“We’ve made a reservation! Why won’t you let us in?!” Jane barked. She was incredibly exasperated, especially after watching Rachel enter the restaurant without any hindrance. With her face twisted into an angry grimace, she questioned, “Why didn’t you stop that woman in a blue suit from entering? Why are you stopping us instead? Is this how you run a business? You clearly have something against us!”
The waiter had a standard smile on his face, but what he said was enough to make Jane fly into a rage. “Yes, you three have been blacklisted by our restaurant. From now on, ‘Lansen Restaurant‘ will never admit you!”
Jane blushed with anger. Pointing at the waiter, she said, “I will complain about you!”
“Please do as you wish.” The waiter still wore a standard smile and answered without any fear. It seemed that he was accustomed to such a situation.
Knowing that her threat hadn’t worked, Jane gnashed her teeth angrily and stared at the waiter in front of her.
The waiter’s indifferent attitude and gestures attracted Louis’s attention.
“There are more than a hundred western–style and fench–style restaurants in Seaxas, of which Lansen Restaurant is the most famous. The guests come in an endless stream. The fact that this restaurant has been famous in Seaxas for more than ten years is enough to prove that the boss of this restaurant has abundant money and mysterious political background,” he thought.
Thinking about this, Louis restrained his anger. But his eyebrows still frowned with irritation. “We didn’t violate any of the rules of your restaurant. I wonder why you blacklisted me?” he asked.
“Our boss said that if his wife sees you, she would be in a bad mood,” the waiter answered.
Louis was speechless.
Olivia and Jane were even more confused.
Olivia thought, “When did we offend the boss’s wife?
“So far, we don’t even know who the boss is!”
Olivia restrained the feeling of being humiliated and pretended to be gentle and decent. “I wonder if it is convenient for you to tell me your proprietress’s name,” she asked.
“No way am I going to tell you!” said the waiter plausibly. Then he stepped back and shut the door with a bang,
To their surprise, they were driven out by a waiter directly. So it was inevitable that they were embarrassed, especially Olivia.
She was a famous star in showbiz, after all. But now she was driven out by the waiter. She was undoubtedly embarrassed and angry. But as a public figure, she had to endure it.
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, the door behind them. was suddenly pushed open. The waiter came out with a sign that said, “Bitches and Dogs Are Not Allowed In.”
Seeing this, they immediately got as mad as a wet hen. “It was a blatant shame! they thought.
Jane became furious and was about to argue with the waiter. But Louis stopped her and shouted coldly. “Do you want to be more embarrassed? If you want to make trouble again, go back!”
“I… Jane was annoyed and felt aggrieved. She stood there and stamped her feet with anger. Then she turned around angrily and left.
