[Chapter 68]
Pearl took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her fury.
"Alright then! You can start at the bottom as a waiter."
"Pearl! I don't want to be a waiter. Give me a supervisory job and put Minnie in charge of the money. This way, we can prevent David from having an affair when he has money. I promise to report everything he does to you. Mom told us to help you out!"
Sam said bravely.
Pearl laughed out of anger.
'A supervisory job? Put her in charge of the money?'
'Help me out?'
'They're trying to rob David!'
'Do they also think that this hotel is going to belong to the Warner family in the future?'
"How dare they think that way?'
"You want to be in charge of the money? Do you know how much is the monthly revenue? Do you know how much is this meal?
Let me tell you. This meal cost a million dollars, and the revenue of this place is nearly a billion dollars a month. Do you think you can manage that?"
Pearl finished speaking.
Everyone stopped eating.
They looked up at her with shocked eyes.
A million dollars for one meal?
That was crazy!
"Pearl, how much… did you say we had this meal for?" Sam swallowed his food and whispered.
"This meal cost a total of one million dollars."
The crowd was silent for a long time.
After the shock wore off.
Leigh said, "Do you make that much money every month? It seems that you have good taste. Then we're not going back. We've had a lifetime of hard work. It's time to enjoy."
"Since you're so rich, let's get Sammy a house and car so he can get married and settle down," added Billy.
Pearl looked at the family, speechless. They were all the same.
She was sad that she had been born into such a family.
She thought of helping them as much as possible since they were family after all.
However, now she just wanted to leave. She did not want to see these people anymore.
"Help yourselves to the food! I'm going out for a while!" Pearl got up and left after speaking.
She was disheartened.
Her entire family had conspired to trick her.
They took the money she saved to pay off Sam's gambling debts.
If they could give them what they wanted today, they would ask for more tomorrow. They would never be satisfied and grateful.
All they did was take.
She did not want to see these people anymore.
The crowd continued eating. It would be a waste not to eat this meal costing a million dollars.
At the same time, fPearl went to the chairman's office.
David was playing with his cell phone out of boredom.
"Hey! Miss Pearl, why did you come upstairs so soon?"
"Mr. Lidell, I want to leave and never see them again!" said Pearl.
"Do you want to leave now? What about them? Shall I give them some money?" asked David.
He suspected Pearl's family had said something hurtful to her that caused her to react so strongly.
Since Pearl had made up her mind, he would support her!
"Please don't. It would never end if you give them anything. They'll never be content."
"Then should I ignore them?"
"Yes! Ignore them! If they cause any trouble in the hotel, just report it to the police and put them in the police station for two days.
"Alright then! Where do you plan to go first, Miss Pearl?"
–
"I'm going to Springfield. It's a world-class metropolis with many talented people, and I have a university roommate in Springfield whom I can ask for help."
"Okay! I wish you a smooth journey, Miss Pearl. I'll host you a celebration dinner when you come back."
"Thank you, Mr. Lidell!"
Billy and the rest had no idea Pearl had just left for Springfield.
They had already eaten a lot but could not bear to part with the delicacies costing one million dollars. Thus, they eventually spent three hours eating.
