Chapter 741
Minerva asked that as she could think of no other explanation. It never once crossed her mind that the
Cunninghams would know someone as prestigious as the boss of the restaurant. From her perspective, only
people like her family who had lived abroad should know someone like that.
After sthought, Jonah was still at a loss as to who might have paid the bill. Nonetheless, he chuckled. "I
suppose that's the case. Although it has been a few years since | last returned to Cathay, | do have a few
business partners here. Perhaps they offered to buya meal after catching wind of my return. Waiter, | would
like to have a chat with your boss."
The waiter smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, our boss has yet to arrive. She gave us a call to have us prepare the

look on Jonah's face. "Excellent! Come, let us continue with our feast. My friend will be here in a moment, and I'll
introduce you all then."
Despite having gotten a scolding from Chloe, Jonah laughed. "I can't just avoid them, since they're all old
acquaintances of mine. Since they found out about our return, we have to give them face. After all, we will need
their help while doing business here. Helen and you will have plenty of tto yourselves later on, so there's no
rush to it."
After that, Chloe nodded apologetically. "I'm sorry, Helen. I'm afraid | won't be able to keep you company in the
next few days."
The Cunninghams were still in awe of what had just transpired, for they had believed that it was Jonah's friend
who had paid for their expenses. In response, Helen gave them an awkward smile. "Chloe, we agreed that my
family would buy you dinner tonight. This is just embarrassing."
Minerva wore a disdainful pout. "Aunt Helen, you can drop the act already. The meal and the wine will cost you
millions. How are you going to pay for it if the bill is on you?"
Upon hearing that, Chloe waved her hand. "Minerva, watch how you speak! Helen, please forgive her. | am the
one who spoiled her. Speaking of which, you don't need to go to such lengths to impress us. | will gladly have a
simple meal as long as | get to share it with you."
Tears welled up in Helen's eyes. What Chloe said was so hurtful that she overlooked Minerva's impudence. After
stime, the waiter cback, giving a knock on the door. "Ladies and gentlemen, our boss will be here in a
moment. Do you have any other requests?"

Jonah tidied his clothes, smiling. "It's alright. We're old acquaintances, so there's no need to be so formal with
us."
With a nod, the waiter politely stationed himself at the door. At that moment, footsteps could be heard coming in
from outside. There was a whiff of perfbefore a tall and beautiful woman made her entry. The instant the
men laid eyes on the woman, they were stunned by the beauty that she naturally exuded.
Ignoring their stares, the woman walked up to Matthew with a smile. "Greetings, Mr. Larson, President
Cunningham. Geez, why didn't you givea heads up when you decided to dine here? | could have had the
chefs prepare our specialty. Please forgivefor any inconveniences that you might have encountered."
Sasha was utterly flabbergasted. "President Sandel, you own this restaurant?”
It turned out that beauty was none other than Leanna Sandel herself.
