After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel 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."
