As soon as Serena finished speaking, Sarah's face turned an ugly shade of red.
Clearly, they were the ones dressed like beggars! How did Serena twist it around to make her seem unworthy of this restaurant?
She wanted to argue back, but the socialites behind her had already burst into laughter.
Her face flushed with embarrassment, and when she noticed the mocking gazes directed at her, she finally realized she was the one being looked down on!
"You little—I'm going to tell Dad!" Leaving those words behind, Sarah fled in humiliation.
Serena sighed. "Can't walk without Mommy and Daddy now? And to think Dad treats her like some precious gem, keeping her by his side every day without getting annoyed.
She turned, only to find Wynne and Alicia staring at her with bright, admiring eyes. She tilted her head in confusion.
"Why are you two looking at me like that?"
Alicia spoke first. "Oh my god, the way you threw that card just now was so cool! I want to make that much money too, so I can slap annoying people in the face with it!"
"Yeah! And somehow, when you say it, even the dirt on my pants feels classy!" Wynne practically threw herself into Serena's arms.
Serena raised the corner of her mouth and helplessly pushed her face away. "You still need to clean the dirt off."
"Of course. Serena, you're the best!" Wynne continued to nuzzle against her.
The three of them happily enjoyed their meal.
After eating their fill, Serena dropped them off at their homes one by one, then went to the supermarket to pick up some cat food and canned treats.
Back home, she took out the porcelain bowls she had made earlier and filled them with water and food for her cat.
The tiny calico rubbed against her affectionately, meowing softly.
