Chapter 23
1017 Words
The woman's voice was so loud, that it drew attention of everyone nearby. They pointed at Maisy, whispering..
"Such a reckless child. Bet this guy has no idea how to raise a child"
"This man doesn't look like someone from the upper class, no wonder his kid's wild."
"Poor girl, stuck with a father like that. A limited edition dress costs a fortune. If he were rich, it wouldn't matter, but with him? No chance!"
Maisy was also frightened by their words. She nervously grabbed Talon's clothes and whispered, "Daddy, I really didn't mean to..."
Talon gently stroked Maisy's head and said calmly, "If it's dirty, we'll just pay for it."
"Pay for it? You?" the woman sneered as she looked at Talon up and down.
Then she said, "Do you know that my husband bought this dress for me? it's the latest Gucci summer collection, over fifteen thousand dollars! Just looking at your attire, you probably can't even afford ten thousand dollars, which might be half a year's salary for you. How do you plan on paying?"
"Fifteen thousand dollars?" Talon's face darkened, and he squinted slightly.
Just then, a man in a suit stepped forward—the same man who had brought Maisy the pastries earlier.
He had witnessed the whole scene and came over with a stern expression. "I saw it all. This little girl accidentally got your dress dirty. Even if it's a limited edition, a small stain doesn't require full compensation. Now, I ask you not to disturb the other guests. As for your dirty dress, we'll deduct the cost when you pay the bill. If you continue to make a scene, I'll have to ask you to leave immediately. Our restaurant does not welcome you!"
The man and woman were both stunned. Did they hear correctly? The restaurant manager was actually asking them to leave?
The restaurant manager then turned to Maisy. "Don't worry, sweetie. I know it was an accident, and everything's all sorted out. Come, let's go back to your seat and enjoy your ice cream and cake."
Then the manager extended his hand. Maisy looked at Talon, and only after he nodded slightly did she return to her seat.
At this moment, a few people came out from behind the restaurant manager, with one of them pushing a cart filled with colorful ice cream and an exquisitely decorated cake.
"Beautiful little guest, this is your ice cream, personally made by our top chef. It's called 'Colorful Splendor,' and we hope your time can be as bright as this ice cream every day. This is our restaurant's most famous musician, and he will play for you. If you need anything else, feel free to let me know."
Seeing this, the man and woman were both shocked, staring at Maisy in disbelief.
Not to mention, the seemingly small cake was actually the restaurant's signature luxury item, costing tens of thousands of dollars for just one piece, with a single bite worth at least five thousand.
Talon was just a commoner. How could he afford such expensive treats for his daughter?
It must be a gift.
Yes, it must be a gift from the restaurant.
The man, burning with anger, slammed his forks on the table and said harshly.
"Manager, aren't you going to give us an explanation? Why do they get complimentary cake while we don't? You know we are VIP customers here and can afford anything! If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, bring your boss out to see me!"
The restaurant manager turned around and looked at the man as if he were an i***t. "First, this cake is not a gift. The total price for this small piece is one hundred sixty thousand dollars, which this gentleman has already paid. Second, any customer spending over one hundred thousand dollars receives a VIP card, which is just the most basic card here. Yet, this gentleman has deposited ten million dollars, making him a holder of our Supreme Black Card. Fewer than five hundred people in the entire country hold this prestigious status. Now, do you understand?"
The entire restaurant fell silent...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The woman shrieked after a few seconds.
"He's wearing such cheap clothes. How could he have deposited ten million dollars! You must have made a mistake, yes, you must have!"
"Sorry, but I have never made a mistake regarding our Supreme Black Card holders." The restaurant manager continued with a cold face.
"Given this guest's card, they enjoy the highest honors in our restaurant. If you have any complaints, you can choose to return your card. I will deduct your actual expenses and refund the rest. Yet, you will not be allowed to enter our restaurant again. So, what do you decide?"
The two of them were dumbfounded. So, they were about to be kicked out?
They earned millions annually, yet here, it was just the basic entry-level. They had always boasted about being able to enter this restaurant, but now they were about to be driven out.
"I don't believe, I don't believe what you're saying!"
The woman was on the verge of madness, "If he has a Supreme Black Card, why is he eating in the main hall? I've heard that Supreme Black Card holders can dine in private rooms!"
"Madam!"
The restaurant manager was irritated. "Where the guest prefers to eat is their prerogative! We have reserved private rooms, and they can dine there anytime they wish! Now I ask you, if you choose to continue dining here, please keep quiet! If not, leave immediately!"
"This!" The woman was utterly stunned. The man she mocked as shabby was actually a Supreme Black Card holder. That little girl's bite of cake was worth their entire meal.
The two stood up, ready to leave in disgrace, when Talon suddenly spoke.
"Wait. My daughter accidentally got your dress dirty, and we can compensate for that. But you scared my daughter, and I want you to apologize to her until she forgives you. Otherwise, I'll find my own way to send you to jail!"
