Chapter 900
"You think I'm being unreasonable?" Maria asked, her expression full of mock surprise. "Do you really think I would falsely accuse you?"
The manager, seeing Sidney's lack of an apology and his confrontational attitude, quickly intervened. "You better apologize to the customer right now, then take her to the hospital for a check-up. If anything happens to the guest, you'll be held responsible!" Sidney's gaze turned cold as he looked at Maria, noticing the faint smile of amusement in her eyes.
Of course.
She wanted to see him crushed, to have control over him, and eventually forced to bow to her will. This was all just a game to her.
If, in the beginning, Maria had approached Sidney to complete Lucas' task, now, she was simply driven by the desire to see him broken.
"Fine, then call the police. There are security cameras from the kitchen to the dining area. I didn't do it, and I stand by that." Sidney's tone grew calm and cold.
He pulled out his phone and was about to dial the authorities.
The manager panicked and immediately blocked his way. "Just apologize and be done with it. Why call the police? You offended the customer, don't drag the restaurant into this mess! You can leave now we can't afford someone like you, without responsibility or professionalism!"
He then turned back to Maria with a smile. "Ma'am, I deeply apologize for this inconvenience. Whatever discomfort you're feeling is entirely due to his personal actions, and it has nothing to do with our restaurant. I assure you, our food is safe."
Maria raised an eyebrow, watching as Sidney's face darkened.
Tsk... he got fired.
Now what?
Was he still unwilling to bow to her?
To her surprise, Sidney didn't spare her another glance.
He simply removed his work badge, handed it to the manager, and walked out without a word.
The manager quickly addressed Maria, "I apologize for the poor experience you had. Your meal is on the house today. If there's anything else you need, feel free to let me know."
Maria's lips curved into a smile. "Alright, bring the menu over."
Realizing that Maria wasn't going to pursue the matter further, the manager hurried to bring her the menu.
Maria ordered a few more dishes and then pulled out her phone to send a text to Sidney.
"How fun was that?"
But as soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared.
She had been blocked.
Tsk! He's learned something!
Instead of getting angry, Maria's smile only deepened.

At the hospital, cheerful laughter echoed from inside the room. Sidney pushed the door open, carrying the dinner he had bought, only to find Maria sitting by his mother's
bedside, chatting away with ela
her.

On the small table beside the bed, steaming dishes were laid out. Sidney recognized them immediately-they were from the restaurant where he had just been working.
His face darkened instantly.
When Ruth saw him, she greeted him warmly, "Sidney, you're here! You must be tired after a long day, aren't you?"
Not wanting to show his frustration in front of his mother, Sidney quickly composed himself and walked over, saying, "I'm fine, not tired at all."
He glanced at the food on the table
and reached out to start tidying it up.
"Mom, the doctor said your health doesn't suit greasy foods like these. You should stick to lighter meals."
But Ruth waved him off. "Oh, these were brought over by Miss Maria. Even if I can't eat them, you shouldn't put them away. You should have some."
