“Mr. Sullivan, you just said that this person is a guest at your restaurant and you can’t ask him to leave. So, what if he is not a guest at your restaurant? Do you have the authority to kick him out, then?” Seeing that the girl in a business suit did not stop her, the pretty girl shouted at Mr. Sullivan.

“Not a guest at our restaurant?” Sullivan was stunned, looking confused when he heard that. After all, why would he be here at the New Century Restaurant if not for lunch? The restaurant manager was puzzled. “What do you mean by that, Ms. Phillips?”

“I know this person. He is a poor incel working as a food delivery guy. Do you think someone like him could afford to dine in this restaurant?” the pretty girl said insistently.

Sullivan could not help but turn to look at Connor in puzzlement.

“Look at him. He is a pauper. How could he afford to dine at the New Century Restaurant?”

“I think this young man is looking for someone here, or he has another purpose, 1 guess?”

“Even if he is here to look for someone, you can’t just let him in like this. It will disturb everyone dining here.”

The restaurant patrons started to discuss among themselves when they saw Connor’s appearance.

The pretty girl was even more emboldened when she heard the discussions. “Mr. Sullivan, 1 suspect that this person is likely to steal things here. You should quickly kick him out of here.”

The expressions of those restaurant patrons changed. They quickly checked whether they had lost anything.

Sullivan’s expression looked grave. If Connor was really like what the pretty girl said, which was coming here to steal things, he would not escape the crime if his superior were to hold him accountable.

“How would you know that 1 am not here for lunch? And, on what basis do you think 1 am a thief?” Connor took a step forward and said to the pretty girl with a bitter expression.

“Humph! How can a food delivery guy afford to dine in this place?” The pretty girl sneered dismissively.

“It is up to me if I can afford to dine here. What right do you have to stop me from dining here, and do you have any proof to show that I am a thief?” Connor said in an unusually calm tone to the pretty girl.

A sense of panic flashed in the pretty girl’s eyes when she saw the confidence in Connor’s eyes. She knew very well that the accusation was just her conjecture with no substantial evidence. Now that Connor suddenly demanded her to produce the evidence, she, of course, could not come up with any.

“Let it go, Maya.” The girl in a business suit stopped the pretty girl as she did not want to create more trouble.

“No. 1 am dead sure that this pauper couldn’t afford to dine here.” Still not giving up, the pretty girl pointed at Connor aggressively.

“Ms. Phillips, if you can produce the evidence that this person is not here for dining, 1 can ask the security guards to kick him out right away.” Sullivan stepped forward and said respectfully.

The pretty girl frowned, looking helpless as she had no evidence at all.

“Since you want proof, I can prove it.” The voice of a man came from among the crowd just then.

Connor turned to look behind him, and only to see Brandon and Mandy walking out from the crowd.

“Who are you?” Sullivan asked in puzzlement as he did not know Brandon.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is who he is,” Brandon said as he brought Mandy toward Connor. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Who is he?” Sullivan asked curiously.

“His name is Connor McDonald, a student of Porthampton University, who is also my classmate. So, 1 know him well. He works part-time as a food delivery guy to support himself. How can he afford to dine in the New Century restaurant?” Brandon said in a very contemptuous tone.

People started to discuss among themselves again upon hearing Brandon’s words. They would still have some doubts if only the pretty girl said that Connor did not have the money to come to this place. But now that two people were saying the same thing, that gave more credibility to the pretty girl’s words.

In fact, Brandon and Mandy could not afford to dine in the New Century Restaurant. It just so happened that a friend of Brandon’s was holding a birthday party there and that was why they were there. But, they never expected to run into Connor.

Connor had humiliated Brandon at Brasserie Le Bernardin last time. Since then, Brandon had been looking for an opportunity to get his revenge. Now, the opportunity that Brandon had been waiting for had arrived. Even Brandon himself did not dare to dine in the New Century Restaurant, let alone Connor. He still remembered that Connor had spent a full $70,000 at Brasserie Le Bernardin last time. How could Connor still have the money to spend there?

“Mr. Sullivan, if you don’t believe me, I can ask my girlfriend to come out and testify. She is Connor’s ex. I think her words carry more weight,” Brandon said when Sullivan gave no response.

“That’s right. I was this incel’s girlfriend.” Mandy stepped out cooperatively after hearing what Brandon said.

Everyone looked surprised. Who would have thought that even Connor’s ex-girlfriend would testify against and denigrate him?

The pretty girl looked even more triumphant after Mandy stepped out. “The most important reason I broke up with him was that he was broke; really broke. He couldn’t even feed himself. Can you all see the fabric shoes on his feet? He picked them up on the street while he was delivering food one day. While he delivered food for others, he couldn’t even afford a meal. At often times, he had to eat the food of others, which had been canceled. Do you think such a destitute incel could afford to dine in the New Century restaurant?” Mandy verbally attacked Connor ruthlessly. Her words were harsh.

If the words of Brandon and the pretty girl had no credibility, surely the words of Connor’s ex-girlfriend would. Everyone looked at Connor with contempt.

Meanwhile, Connor looked at Mandy calmly with a helpless expression on his face. He really could not understand it. Did Mandy not know why he was so broke while they were together? He worked his butts off delivering food day in and day out just to make money to satisfy Mandy’s endless materialistic desire. Even if he had to starve for three days, he would still buy Mandy her favorite handbags and lipsticks. If it was not for Mandy, he would not have become what he was today.

He accepted the fact that Mandy left him because he had no money. After all, money was often the thing that made or broke a relationship. But, he just could not get why Mandy still wanted to take a shot at him even after they broke up..
