Life After Prison

“I see!” Lucy was a little surprised because she did not expect such tricks to exist. From the looks of it, the Stones probably did not have such an easy road toward becoming a third-tier family. Their success likely owed much to tricks like that. As an example, it was Jada who thought of the scheme to deal with Severin.

Soon, everything was in place.

After the rich woman left, Severin and his family could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thus, they went ahead and enjoyed all the food they ordered.

“May I have the bill please?” Severin waved to the waitress when they were almost done with the meal.

At that moment, the waitress smiled, walked over, and handed the bill to Severin. He took one look at it and frowned. “There must have been a mistake in this order.”

The waitress could only smile. “I’m sorry, sir, but this is the correct total!” Her manager had already instructed her to give them that bill, so she could only do as she was told.

Severin smiled in contempt and chucked the bill on the table. “Guess we’ll just have to dine and dash today then. I’m not paying for this!”

“Severin! Didn’t you say you have enough money?” Judith was taken aback by his remark. She frowned and did not know why Severin would say something like that.

Diane did not look pleased at all and said to him, “You shouldn’t have brought us to eat here if don’t have that much money. We can always change to another restaurant that’s within our budget. I don’t think that’s something to be ashamed about!” She became even angrier when she thought about what

he had planned to do. “But a dine and dash? That’s something I’ve never done before, and you’ll make all of feel ashamed if you did something like that!”

“I won’t pay for this, honey. Just look at the price! It’s a scam!” Severin explained.

Diane picked up the bill at his behest, and her expression sank right away. “If I remember correctly, the dishes we ordered should add up to a little over sixteen thousand. Why does the bill state that it’s a hundred and sixty thousand? Did they just add zeroes to each of the items we ordered?* “A hundred and sixty thousand?” Judith finally realized that she had blamed her son wrongly when she heard that number. She picked up the bill, counted it carefully, and nearly had a heart attack.

“You must’ve made a mistake, young lady. How could it be a hundred and sixty thousand? Look! It has to be an error on your restaurant’s part!” Judith smiled and handed the list to the waiter.

The waitress did not even bother to take a second look and shouted to a man standing some distance away. “Sir, the guests at this table are trying to leave without paying!” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Severin could only smile at Judith and say, “Please sit down, Mom. There’s no point explaining to them. Haven’t you noticed yet? This restaurant is run by scammers!”
