Chapter 11: $140,000 Bill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone dug in at once after all food was served. They did not care if Connor and Brandon could pay, but they just enjoyed
themselves as long as they were not the ones who would pay for it.
Mandy was sitting next to Brandon. Her expression was awful as she knew that Brandon could not afford to pay for today’s
meals. Even if Connor could pay for it, he would probably have to spend all his savings. Was it worth spending all his savings
just to save face?
Thinking about it, Mandy looked at Connor with even more disdain.
She felt that Connor should not have competed with a rich kid like Brandon. Even if he won this time, it would not change the fact
that he was a poor guy.
One hour into the feast, everyone had had their fill. They all looked at Connor and Brandon, starting to worry that they would not
have the money to settle the bill.
The lady in a bodycon dress swung her hips as she walked up to Connor and Brandon in her high heels, and she said in a soft
voice, “The total bill is one hundred forty thousand and eight hundred dollars, sir. Would you like to pay in cash or by card?”
‘$140,000?’ Hearing the figure, everyone gasped in shock, and their chests were heaving. No one expected that the meal would
cost so much.
Brandon’s expression stiffened. It was $140,000. Even though he only had to pay for half of it, it was still $70,000. He simply did
not have that much money in his hands now.
While everyone was still in shock, Connor picked up the food delivery bag at his feet and took out a stack of cash. It was exactly
$70,000.
They saw the banknotes inside Connor’s food delivery bag and gasped in astonishment.
‘Holy moly! A whole bag of banknotes. How much is it in there?’
Connor looked nonchalant as he handed the stack of cash to the lady in a bodycon dress. “Here you go.”
“Thank-Thank you!” The lady was a little nervous when she took the stack of cash. She did not expect that Connor would be so
generous and did not even bat an eyelid over the meal that cost $140,000.
“I will only pay seventy-thousand dollars while he will pay the other half.” Connor pointed at Brandon just when the lady was
about to leave.
Everyone in the room was wide-eyed, looking over at Connor in shock. They never expected that Connor could fork out $70,000
without batting an eyelid.
Brandon was still in his seat. Cold sweat trickled down his back as he did not know what to do.
“Absolutely.” The lady nodded, then she looked at Brandon. “Would you like to pay in cash or by card?”
Brandon’s mind went blank upon hearing that. He had long expected it would cost a lot to dine in Brasserie Lc Bernardin. So,
before Brandon came, he had borrowed $20,000 from a friend. Together with his own $20,000, he only had $40,000. Brandon
did not expect that the meal would cost as much as $140,000.
“Give-Give me a second. Let me make a call.” Brandon stuttered, and then he picked up his phone and started dialing.
Before going out to dinner, everyone thought that the person who would not have enough money to pay was Connor, not
Brandon.
The lady wearing a bodycon dress knew that Brandon was calling for help, so she said nothing and walked to the cashier.
A few minutes later, the lady returned and handed a receipt to Connor and said softly, “Here is your receipt, sir.”
Connor nodded in acknowledgment. Then, he carried the food delivery bag and walked out of the private room. As for whether
Brandon could settle the bill today, it was none of his business, and he did not want to know.
When Dominic, Spencer, and Eunice saw that Connor was leaving, they hurriedly followed.
“Wait for us, Connor!” Dominic called out as he ran out of the private room.
Connor looked back at Dominic with a smile and asked, “What’s up?”
“Where the hell did you get that money? Was it because Mandy broke up with you?” Dominic frowned, asking with concern.
“It has nothing to do with Mandy.” Connor let out a faint smile. “I won the lottery two days ago. So now, I have some money.” He
did not want to reveal himself, so he made up an excuse to explain it.
“No wonder.” Eunice nodded and scratched her chin thoughtfully. “Since you have money now, why don’t you buy yourself better
clothes or use them for more meaningful things? Why waste the money inviting everyone to dinner?”
“I didn’t think about it that much,” Connor replied her with a smile.
“No wonder you have the money to invite everyone to dinner,” said Spencer.
“Is there anything else? If not, Hl go now.” Connor was afraid that his cover story would be blown.
“By the way, Connor, our class has a WhatsApp chat group. I am thinking of inviting you to join us,” Eunice said as she took her
iPhone out of her pocket.
“Uhh...”
Connor hesitated for a moment and looked at her helplessly. “I haven’t downloaded WhatsApp yet. Add me when I get a new
phone tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Eunice nodded, but she did not say much.
Connor then turned and walked out of the restaurant. Dominic and Spencer both looked at Connor from behind in puzzlement.
Even though Connor explained that he had won the lottery, they could sense that the current Connor was very different from
before..
