Chapter 648
Sure enough, just as Emmanuel picked up his cutlery and grabbed some
food, Richie immediately sneered. “My, my, don’t you know how to pick! That
abalone’s a delicacy! I bet one of them is worth just as much as your
previous monthly salary!”
It was blatant contempt.
-Tia didn’t think Richie was impressive; instead, she found him repulsive. She
knew very well that Richie was trying to strike a heavy blow at Emmanuel
during the meal, making him give up.
However, Emmanuel turned a deaf ear and focused on eating the abalone.
After taking a bite of it, he wanted to take a sip of red wine. However, as soon
as he picked up the wine glass, Richie sneered again. “That’s a 1982 Lafite. A
glass of it is more expensive than your own blood.”
Still, Emmanuel downed the entire wine in one sip, put down the glass, and

Don’t tell me your family can’t even afford to treat everyone here to a meal.”
Richie was instantly stupene
slightly ished.
“Huh, we can afford a blind date meal no matter how expensive it is!” Gillian
quickly took over the conversation, sounding loftier than her son. “Too bad Tia
already has a boyfriend, and we’re all just casually having a meal right now.
Can’t you, as her boyfriend, even pay the bill for your girlfriend?”
Alas, the tables had turned.
Emmanuel couldn’t help shaking his head. Indeed, those who were
pretentious were often stingy.
However, Richie misinterpreted it and thought Emmanuel was scared. As
such, he behaved even more arrogantly. “Don’t eat if you can’t afford to pay!
Honestly, where did you get your courage to impersonate Tia’s boyfriend and
ruin our blind date?! You can’t even feed yourself when you’re jobless now!
Can you still afford a car or a house? What can you offer Tia for happiness? A
penniless loser like you should stay single forever and not ruin women!”
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and spit even flew out
from his mouth toward the end.
Tia, on the other hand, trembled all over, never expecting that using
Emmanuel as a scapegoat would lead to such humiliation for him. She felt
deeply guilty. On the other hand, Emmanuel simply smiled and couldn’t be
bothered to respond.
Unexpectedly, Cain butted in and boasted, saying, “We own a family
business, and we’re also partners of Terence Group. My son graduated with a
degree abroad, and his cousin is a high–ranking executive at Longine Bank.
What qualifications do you have to compare with my son?”
Pfft! Emmanuel nearly spat out the soda in his mouth. Whoa, what a
coincidence! Are they actually partners with Mackenzie’s company? Also, is
Richie the bank manager’s cousin?!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Richie assumed Emmanuel was so ashamed that he couldn’t lift
his head. With that, he prepared to deliver the final blow, wanting to make
Emmanuel run out bawling.
“Well? Have you realized how pathetic you are? Leave if you have any
self–respect! Do you think you deserve a girlfriend when you have no money
or power?! You’re only worthy of spending your life with your right hand!”
“You’ve crossed the line!” Tia finally couldn’t take it anymore and rebuked
coldly, “All you people talk about is money! Where are your manners?! Have
you no basic respect?! It’s you who should be embarrassed!”
Emmanuel once again looked at Tia with higher regard. It seems like she’s
completely different from Abellyn. I really hope she takes a liking to Ryder.
“You… How dare you?!” Gillian was beside herself with fury. She couldn’t
believe the young woman would go as far as to defend the poor loser and
reproach her family, even when Tia knew just how capable her family was.
Marianne was stunned as well. She couldn’t believe her obedient daughter
would flip out on the Unger family for her so–called boyfriend.
