Nobody took Magnus and the others seriously.
After asking Julian to kick them out, Julian brought Wendy and Tiffany back to the room where he was having his meal.
Meanwhile, Darrel Laine and Jonas Yale continued greeting the new customers without taking a break.
After all, the previous incident had scared off some cowardly customers. As the bosses of the restaurant, it was their obligation to handle this situation on their own.
In the room, Tiffany told them about her personal experience without any reservations after Wendy asked her about it.
Wendy, who had never experienced a lack of food, clothing, or fatherly love since young, was shocked when she knew that Tiffany was born into such a family.
“I used to read news about how miserable the children of poor families are. Such stories always felt extremely distant to me. Today, I’ve realized that these things are happening all around me. How could there be such a father? On top of that, you actually need to work to earn money for your brother’s tuition fees. Don’t you find it hard?”

Wendy was inherently kind and gentle. After knowing about Tiffany’s life experience, she immediately felt a sense of compassion toward her.
“It’s not hard.”
However, Tiffany thought that it was normal.
“We’ve always lived that way. Although I was often famished when I was young, I have the ability to earn money now. I can feed myself now. Furthermore, the old people in the village and the teachers from the school all treated me very well.”
Wendy was overcome with discomfort once she heard what Tiffany said.
Perhaps, in Tiffany’s view, it was a good day as long as she did not have to starve. If she could afford her school fees and was able to go to school, life would be close to perfect for her.
However, these were all the basic needs of an ordinary human living in this world.
“Big Sis Schuler, will I get fired by my boss?”
She was still thinking of her job even now.
“I got this job after going through a lot of hardships and struggles. My boss even appointed me as the assistant manager. However, I caused trouble on the first day of work. What if he doesn’t allow me to continue working here anymore?”
Tiffany said with a worried expression on her face.
Wendy glanced at Jasper and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your boss later. He won’t blame you.”
“Let’s eat first.”
Jasper said as he placed a plate of earl grey cake, which he recalled was Tiffany’s favorite dessert, in front of her.
Tiffany blinked at him. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She immediately got up and said, “Ah, I’m a waiter here. How could I sit here and eat with you? I should stand up.”
Wendy was amused by Tiffany’s reaction. She immediately pulled her back down to her seat and said, “Your boss just told us that you’re here to accompany us. I want you to sit down and eat with us.”
“Is this appropriate?” Tiffany asked in an abashed manner.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about this.”
Wendy handed a fork and spoon over to Tiffany and told her in a gentle voice, “Eat whatever you want to. Don’t be embarrassed. Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”
With Wendy’s gentle reassurance, Tiffany’s panic and nervousness gradually waned.
