Chapter 701 "Please, miss, don't make it hard for me. I think the dish you ordered has already been served to another table. How about we give you double the money back? Would that work for you?" The waiter looked on the verge of tears, as if dealing with a major injustice. But really, it was the restaurant's fault.

A refund is not happening." The waiter scurried off, and the manager soon appeared, apologizing as he entered. "I'm so sorry, ladies. Unfortunately, we're out of that dish. How about we offer you something else with a 50% discount?" Chelsea wasn't having it. She stood up, clearly annoyed. "Manager, is this just about money? Is that all your restaurant can do to fix things? I need that dish today. Which table took our order? I'm going to get it back myself." "That might not be a great idea," the manager tried to dissuade her.
But Chelsea's determined look made him point nervously to a nearby table. "The guests over there." Chelsea marched over, ready to set things right. She pushed open the door and froze at the sight.
Eliza rushed in after her, also caught off guard.
Casper, Dillon, Allysha, and Kate were seated there. Eliza recognized them all. The "Eight Delights Harmony" dish was sitting right in the middle of their table. "The dish is here alright." Chelsea turned to Eliza, pointing sarcastically at the dish. "Isn't this just using power to bully? Is this how rich folks and celebrities act?" Eliza's expression turned icy, colder than a winter chill. "Who took our dish?" Dillon quickly stood up, puzzled, and glanced at the dish. "What's wrong with it?" "It's just a dish, Ms. Eliza. No need to get upset," Kate said, rising gracefully and lifting the plate with a gentle, apologetic smile. "If I k was your order, I wouldn't it taken it. We all want a bit of good luck. Let's not fuss over it, okay?" Eliza slowly raised her gaze, her eyes like thin ice on a sunny winter day. "What did you call me? Ms. Eliza? I believe Kate has forgotten, I'm Mrs. Welton." "Oh, is that so thought..." Kate's eyes flickered with a hint of apology as she shrugged with a sheepish smile. "my bad. When I saw you at the bridal shop, I thought you hadn't had your wedding yet. I figured you liked being called Ms. Eliza. My mistake, Mrs. Welton. Please, don't be upset." Chelsea, unimpressed, took the "Eight Delights Harmony" dish from Kate's hands.

Eliza nodded, her gaze briefly passing over Casper, who had stayed silent, not even hinting at his stance since she walked in. He had promised her he wouldn't meet Kate privately. So why were they here together today?
Eliza's eyes were filled with countless unsaid words, yet she quickly m composed herself, leaving only a fleeting, meaningful glance.
Back in their private room, Chelsea had lost all interest in the "Eightm Delights Harmony."
She picked up on the subtle tension between Eliza and Casper. "Whym didn't Casper say anything just now? It's like he wasn't involved. Did you even know he was here?" "I didn't," Eliza shook her head.
"Are you guys fighting again? Who was that woman?" "She's Kate, a homewrecker. Renee's husband is leaving her because of Kate."
