Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 30

"I've been tricked!" 

This was the very first thought that came to her mind. 

Anything else he said would be nothing more than a lie to her.

"Waiter!" she yelled as she stood up. 

Immediately, the waiter leaned over and said, "Mr. Henderson just signed the bill." 

Lacey frowned and looked at Theo. "Mr. Henderson?" 

"This is the 103rd branch of my family's restaurant." He smiled brightly. "As a result, there's no reason to pay the bill!" 

"Are you from a wealthy family?" Lacey went on to ask.

Theo remained silent, seemingly admitting it. 

"Hand over your phone!" She extended her hand. 

"Are you going to give me your number?" Theo handed up his phone without hesitation. 

Lacey remained silent as she launched Theo's Venmo app. 

She scanned the QR code with her phone, and "ding," the payment for $1800 was completed. 

"What do you mean by this?" Her actions perplexed Theo slightly. 

Despite Lacey's dazzling smile, her eyes were as cold as an iceberg. "Did you have fun?" she asked. 

"Huh?" Theo became even more confused. 

"I don't care if your family owns this restaurant or if you come from a well-off family. The moment you lied to me at the airport made you no different than a rogue." And with that, Lacey grabbed her purse and headed for the exit door.

"Lacey!" Theo rushed after her. He grabbed her arm and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't have bad intentions." 

Lacey frowned. She stared at his hand and said in a frustrated tone, "Let go of me." 

"I'm very sorry. Would you please listen to me explain—" Before Theo could finish, a look of surprise colored his face.

Lacey followed his line of sight and turned around. She frowned after that. 

It was Lillianna and one of her female friends who had arrived. 

What rotten luck!

"Lacey?" Lillianna noticed her as soon as she entered and walked over. "Lacey, what are you doing here?" 

Lacey grinned perfunctorily. "Big sis, what a coincidence."

Lillianna responded with a chuckle. "It certainly is. I'm here to have a meal with my friend. Also, where were you last night? Dad was worried about you."

She deliberately brought up that Lacey hadn't been home all night.

Everyone else who was eating in the restaurant pricked up their ears.

Some even started taking pictures with their cell phones. 

The twins were the exact opposite. One had a bad reputation, while the other was flawless.

The gossipers would never pass up the opportunity to witness a good show.
