After completing her actions, Elisa graciously bowed to the onlookers in the open dining area, wearing a flawless smile.
"I sincerely apologize to everyone for subjecting you to such a spectacle. I happened to come across two fraudsters who falsely claimed to be friends with the owner here, attempting to enjoy a free meal and drinks. Coincidentally, I personally know the owner, so I exposed them on the spot."
She made this statement to protect the reputation of the Italian restaurant and uphold the honor of the Wickam family. It was a win-win situation, so to speak.
Continuing, she added, "I deeply regret causing such a disturbance here and potentially ruining everyone's dining experience. How about this? I will cover the bill for everyone dining on the first floor today. It's on me."
Her intention was not to please or flaunt her wealth.
Rather, it was to prevent any resentment towards the affluent.
Undoubtedly, this was an effective approach.
As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone quickly declined her offer. They stated that they had merely witnessed a show and would consider it a performance.
In that moment, some individuals even recognized her.
"Isn't that Elisa Benett?"
"Are you referring to the Elisa who selflessly risked her own life to save the migrant workers? She is undeniably courageous, but wasn't it reported that she owed them wages? If that's the case, then it's only right that she took the action she did."
"Are you out of the loop, bro? This matter has long been clarified. Although it wasn't resolved by the parties involved, reputable media outlets have reported on it. They even interviewed the police. Hasn't it become a fact now? Someone was deliberately framing her!"
"So, I just met a celebrity who is also a prominent figure in high society, someone who could drop a fortune from their pocket and it would be enough to support me for half my life? My idol! I need a photo with her!"
"I'm certain it's her. She looks even more stunning in person than on TV. Oh my, I must take a picture with her quickly!"
And so, similar sentiments echoed throughout the crowd.
