Demi smirked. "Why, why, you look surprised! Is it that shocking to know that a meal could cost twenty
thousand? Just look at your faces!"
Minerva was momentarily startled before she spat begrudgingly, "Pooh! | don't believe what you said! This must
be a scam! Whatever that the menu listed must be for show! | will be explicitly ordering these! You'd better have
an explanation if it turns out that the dishes they serve don't match the description! Hmph!"
Immediately, Minerva began ordering away, with Tate following suit, no longer intent on having steak. In fact,
they ordered anything that was labeled with the most ridiculous prices. When they were done, they stared at the
entrance with a pointed look that was overtly hostile.

After all, neither of the siblings wanted to admit that the Cunninghams could lead a life that was even more
luxurious than theirs while in Cathay. Therefore, they were determined to expose what they perceived to be a
scam.
At that moment, Demi snickered. "How is it? Do you still feel like reporting this as a scam? Con, give this
fresh French foie gras a go! The Australian abalones were airlifted from abroad. Oh, and here is the caviar! Here,
try them! This stuff is priced by grams. How do they taste?"
Neither Tate nor Minerva countered her, for they were busy stuffing food down their throats. Although they had
spent many years abroad, they never got a lot of opportunities to have such a lavish meal.
The only times they got to have a taste of these dishes were when their rich friends bought them a meal. Even
then, they only had a small amount, and with limited choices. Therefore, it was unprecedented for them to be
able to order away as they wished, as well as be able to eat all they wanted.
Other than the above, they also ordered two bottles of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. While neither sibling ever
tasted the wine, Jonah did, so he could discern if it was real as soon as he tasted it. By then, the siblings were
totally baffled.
The two bottles of wine alone would cost around two hundred thousand, while the dishes would cost them tens
of thousands, which was a relatively small amount that could be ignored. In short, the meal would easily cost
them three hundred thousand.
Throughout the meal, the siblings were enjoying the delicacies so much that they didn't have the space of mind
to think about anything else. It wasn't until they were almost full that they realized the meal could cost a fortune.
Tugging on Tate's shirt, Minerva whispered, "Will the Cunninghams leave the bill to us if they can't actually afford
the meal, considering how lavish it is?"

Tate's expression changed as soon as he heard that. "Oh, that might very likely happen! Mom used to say that
they were poor. In fact, they had nothing! Besides, her husband likes to take advantage of people's kindness. |
bet they're planning to take advantage of us by bringing us for a meal here!"
Hearing that sent Minerva into a panic. "We can't let that happen! A few hundred thousand Cathian money would
be around forty thousand! Our family can't afford that! We have to get out of this scam! For starters, why don't
we find an excuse to lead Mom and Dad away?"
With a nod, Tate agreed to the plan that he deemed to be brilliant. Meanwhile, Chloe hadn't noticed what her
children were up to, as she was appraising Matthew smilingly. "Sasha, who might this gentleman be?"
After being mocked by Minerva when she entered the room, Sasha forgot to even introduce Matthew to her.
Upon hearing that, she announced proudly, "Aunt Chloe, he's my husband, Matthew Larson. He works as a
doctor in a hospital."
Chloe pushed her glasses up her nose to examine Matthew once again with a contemptuous look. "A doctor...
How much does he earn every month working as a doctor in Cathay?"
