Chapter 21
In the restaurant, Fiona Lewis was so angry that her complexion turned red and her chest heaved.
She would not be mocked and looked down on in these past five years if it was not because of Fane
Woods.
Fane Woods was the reason for everything.
Everything happened because of this useless son-in-law.
Instantly, the atmosphere became very tense!
Fiona thought of Young Master Clark and Young Master Wilson, who were young masters of second-
class aristocratic families and were richer than the Taylor family. When she thought about the 50 million
that Young Master Wilson was willing to pay as a betrothal gift, all she wished was to immediately
chase away this veteran brat in front of her.
She hated how this brat had taken advantage of her drunk daughter at the night of the wedding and
would never forgive him. 1
With so many eyes on him, she wanted to see how Fane would conclude the matter.
It was rumored that veterans who came back from war would get a generous amount of bonus, but it
would generally be around 200 to 300 thousand. Those who got more were the ones who had a This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
meritorious service or the ones who had an official position.
It was clear that Fane was not that kind of person.
Furthermore, he had probably already spent most of his money in order to make her daughter happy
and had not much left.
If she ordered any more, Fane would have to sell himself to this place.
"This, give me two of this. This one too, it looks good."
Fiona suddenly saw the beverage section at the bottom. In the beverage section, there were bottles of
wine priced below 100, which was suitable for normal consumers. There were also beverages and
alcohol that were suitable for rich people, and the most expensive one was 20 thousand bucks.
"This red wine, 20 thousand bucks per bottle, get me 2 0 bottles of it. After all, Selena's father is very
troubled for these few years and has gotten fonder of drinking wine!"
Subsequently, Fiona smiled, faced Fane, and asked, "2 0 bottles?"
Joan Xavier inhaled sharply after she heard Fiona and was worried that Fane did not have enough
money with him. She spoke lightly with a frown, "Selena's mother, it's 400 thousand bucks for 20
bottles. On top o f that, not many of us here like drinking. How can we finish so much wine? 2 "Also, it's
such a big amount of money. We are one family, why would you do this?" Joan spoke in a pleading
tone.
"Who are your family? That is merely what you think and I don't think so!"
Fiona had a cold smile on her face.
"Lady, you can order more alcohol later, if you feel that it's insufficient. However, if you place an order
now, it cannot be refunded even if you did not open the
bottle. We can, however, reserve it for your next visit..."
The pretty waitress could also see that this mother-in-law was obviously being deliberately arrogant
toward her son-in-law that she disliked, so the waitress spoke up to remind her.
"No problem, we can take it away even if we cannot finish it! He has to be rich to be my son-in-law!" i
Fiona handed the menu back to the waitress. Only then did she look at Joan with a fake smile, "Joan,
you should not take me as your son’s mother-in-law right now. It's said that marriage requires both
people to come from the same social status. We are not from the same class. 1
"On top of that, he said that he would give me a 10 million worth of betrothal gift. It's better that we
discuss our relationship after your son pays the 10 million betrothal gift!" Fiona continued saying.
"Mum, aren't you going overboard for doing this? It’s such a big sum, do you really want Fane to get
into trouble?"
Selena Taylor was extremely angry. She had no idea that her mother would become so harsh and
ridicule.
"He allowed me to order as I please, how am I acting overboard? That's funny. If you can’t afford to
treat us t o a meal, why did you agree to it? Is it really so hard to acknowledge that you are poor and
inadequate?” Fiona asked, as if she was not embarrassed that people around them were watching
them as a joke.
"Selena, it's fine. She's your mother and also my mother. It's fine if she wants to eat better food! If we
cannot finish it, we can take away and eat it at home. As long as there's no wastage!"
Fane smiled calmly and even spoke up for Fiona.
"In my opinion, this is a wastage."
Selena twitched her mouth and could not help but started mumbling.
After a while, the big meal started. The delicious dishes were served and placed in front of Fane and
the others.
"Eat more, Kylie!"
Looking at the little one swallowing saliva by the table, Fane smiled as he served her dishes.
Selena looked at how cozy the scene was but had a frown on her face. She thought, could Fane
Woods have achieved something during his five years in the war zone?
When others come back, they would normally receive 200 to 300 thousand as a bonus. Fane, who had
stayed there for five years, might have 400 to 500 thousand. Even if he only had a small achievement,
he might have one million bucks worth of reward.
If this was the case, buying clothes and other things today cost him around 200 thousand, Fane might
still have 800 thousand with him. All the dishes on the table together with the red wine were estimated
to be around 500 thousand.
'Fane should have enough money,' she thought.
However, the money was exchanged with Fane's life i n extreme difficulty. She felt reluctant that the
money was 'eaten' in one meal.
Of course, she felt a little comfort in her heart because Fane was willing to invest everything for her. It
seemed that she managed to find a good man out of her impulsive move.
"Darling, what are you thinking about? Start eating!"
Fane smiled, picked up a piece of prawn, and placed it in Selena’s bowl.
"Hmm, let’s eat!"
Selena looked at Kylie, who was eating happily. A sweet smile appeared on her face.
However, what they were not aware of was that a security guard walked out immediately when he saw
Selena and Fane.
He headed to the street outside and made a call to Young Master Wilson, who was drinking alcohol.
As Young Master Wilson ended the call, Ivan Taylor, who was by his side immediately asked, "Oh
Young Master. Wilson, what's the matter? Somebody actually contacted you so late at night!"
"That rubbish son-in-law that married into the wife's family, actually brought my goddess, Selena, to
have dinner in the high-end restaurant owned by my family. It seems that this young man has returned
from the army and got some money. He ordered 20 bottles of red wine that costs 20 thousand bucks
each!"
The fatty bit the chicken drumstick in his hand ruthlessly and said again, "That motherfucker, I'm f*
eking mad. I'm so much richer than the useless veteran. I'm the young master of the Wilson family and
I'd take over the Wilson family’s estates. Your cousin was...by that guy, and they even have a child. I
just don't understand no matter how much I think about it."
"Ao much red wine? It seems that the young man had some luck and some small achievements in the
past five years. If not, how would he have the money to pay for the bill, otherwise?" 1
Ivan frowned, drank a mouthful of red wine, and his eyes lit up. "Young Master Wilson, I actually have
an idea. How do you feel if Goddess Selena comes over to you obediently tonight?"
When Fatty Wilson heard this, his small eyes suddenly widened and he said in excitement, "What’s the
idea? As long as you can make her come to me obediently, I’ll have a lot to offer you!" 1
"Haha, don’t worry. It'll definitely work. Young Master Wilson, you just wait for my cousin's body
tonight!"
Ivan Taylor smiled evilly, his face had a cunning expression.
