Dumping 345
Sharon didn't let her hand touch Irene. She quickly grabbed the waitress's hand, pushing it away forcefully. "Is this how your restaurant treats customers? We come here to spend money and eat, not to be driven out by your security!" she exclaimed. She thought, 'I wouldn't have intervened if she had spoken reasonably. But I can't stand by once they lay hands on us!
The waitress was visibly taken aback upon seeing Sharon, While dealing with Irene, she felt Irene was timid and didn't understand much, making her act arrogantly. Being caught by an adult was embarrassing. However, it only lasted a few seconds before she regained her composure, her head lifted arrogantly. "What's wrong with chasing you out? If you don't follow the rules of our restaurant, I have the right to chase you out!"
"Then please show me your restaurant's rules, which say seating is allocated based on how much money is spent, Sharon retorted sharply. Being articulate
as her strength, and the waitress wasn't a match for her. Sharon left her speechless with just one sentence, and her confidence wavered instantly.
"Even if it's not written, it's an unwritten rule. You're supposed to eat outside, not in the private rooms. If everyone did this, how could we run our business" the waitress reluctantly responded after a long pause.
"Just earlier, there were two groups who didn't reserve private rooms, and you let them eat first," Irene chimed in immediately, her voice clear and crisp. Table 32 and Table 45 only had two people!" ihing unreasonable
Sharon refrained from immediately scolding Irene because she knew Irene had a sense of decency and wouldn't do something without cause. Hearing Irene's words now, Sharon's eyes narrowed with resolve. The waitress, caught off guard by Irene's astute observations, coughed awkwardly. "They didn't use group-buying deals and were in more of a hurry than you, so we seated them first. If you're trying to save money with group buys, you should know it ukes time. If you don't want to wait, you could come earlier or later. Why wait until mealtime?"
"Who says we're not in a hurry?" Irene's voice rang out assertively. "We're even more in a hurry than they are! Also, when was your business when we decided to come, Ma'am? Does your group-buying policy say we have to wait?" trene had inherited Sharon's knack for speaking confidently and assertively
The waitress, who Irene referred to as Ma'am, turned green with embarrassment. Irene's words had left her speechless; her face was pale, and she couldn't utter a word for a while. "Let's just go somewhere else to cat," the customers, having lost patience, were about to leave.
Upon seeing the customers about to leave, the waitress hurriedly approached and profusely apologized. "I'm sorry for the bad experience. How about this! I'll upgrade your room for you. Please don't leave." "They haven't even paid yet, and you're offering a free upgrade. What about us who've already paid? What will you do, Ma'am?" Irene asserted confidently. The waitress was a terrible snob; Irene deliberately called her Ma'am.
Seeing Irene handle the situation adeptly. Sharon decided to step back and remain silent.
The waitress's face flushed with embarrassment. She had never expected to be confronted by a young child who was not even four, especially in front of customers. Her expression turned pale, almost on the verge of tears.
ve intervened. Not only did she
Sharon remained aloof throughout. She thought, "If the waitress had simply given our table away, maybe I would have do that, but she also spoke disrespectfully. Some education is definitely in order! Irene lifted her chin proudly, crossing her arms like a little scholar. "Our teacher says everyone should be treated equally. It's not right to look down on us. And if you think group buys are bad, you shouldn't offer them to us. Giving us a deal and then ignoring us is bullying!"
The waitress remained silent, stunned by Irene's articulate words. She had dealt with group-buying customers before but had never been confronted like this. Irene seemed remarkably articulate and adept at speaking her mind.
"Even kids understand these things, Ma'am. You're just behind the times," Irene said bluntly, refusing to back down.
With other diners around, the commotion was laeginning to affect innocent patrons trying to dine peacefully. Sharon glanced at the couple waiting for their meal and stepped forward. "Irene." she began. "What's going op?" a voice from a woman nearby interrupted her. Everyone turned to look.
They saw a familiar face walking over, accompanied by a man. The women had impeccabile makeup and a perfectly measured smile, showing none

The man Christine was accompanying was also not unfamiliar, On the contrary, it was pretty familiar. His usually stem and handsome face was unmistakable, even if worn down to allies. It was Edwin. Even though they were linking arms without further gratures, it was clear that their relationship was not ordinary. Sharon thought, 'He was the one who tried to cozy up to me at the skating rink moments ago and is now turning around and behaving intimately with another woman!' she sneereil.

"Boss!" The waitress saw Christine, and her mournful face finally brightened with hope. She quickly explained. "It's like this: These two are from a group buying deal. They thought I was unfair to them for making them wait and blocking the room from others. The waitress wasn't a fool Knowing she couldn't tell the truth, she purposefully omitted many details.
"Oh..." Christine nodded slowly, her gaze shifting over.
Sharon was stopped by the waitress and the two customers, preventing Christine from seeing Sharon Christine only saw Irene. She hadn't met Irene before and didn't know who she was. However, she had to show her thoughtful side in front of Edwin So she said, "Whether they are from a group purchase or not, if there are no seats outside, just arrange a private room for them."
"Alright." The boss spoke up, leaving the waitress with nothing to say but nodding hurriedly. Turning to the two, she said, "Please come into the private room."
"I don't care!" Irene shouted angrily, her eyes glaring at Edwin. She felt even more disappointed in Edwin t than in Sharon. She thought, 'I thought he had changed for the better, even tried to help him get closer to Mommy Irene couldn't control her emotions, her eyes welling up with tears as she shouted and ran off
"Trene!"
Edwin had been on the phone until he heard Irene's voice. Upon seeing Irene's red, teary eyes, looking both upset and angry, his heart sank with concern, and he instinctively wanted to go after her. Sharon ran out and grabbed his arm, her gaze iey "Mr. Stanley, don't upset my daughter!" she said sharply, then hurried after Irene.
"Edwin..." Christine finally spotted Sharon and suddenly realized something, making a slight, unnatural exclamation.
In front of the waitress and the other guests, Edwin brushed off the hand Christine had linked with his arm, stating, "Miss Gildon, we're not acquainted"
