Chapter 219 A Calm Counter
A man said, “If they dare bully you, call me. I don’t believe I can’t deal with these troublemakers.”
Sure, she’s pretty-but her reasoning is all warped.
Aren’t there other seats over there? Why did she have to take someone else’s seat?
“I’m noble enough to only sit in the best seats.” George glanced at everyone in the room. “If
you
don’t like it, take it up with the Latham family. It has nothing to do with Julia.”
Not many people in Seaseat City hadn’t heard of the Latham family.
Most people were shocked and fell silent.
Gilbert often appeared in public, but few people knew what the heir of the Latham family looked like—or that he was so young.
But that man rolled his eyes. “Hmph. Scaring people with your power? What kind of celebrity does that? Are you gonna use your power to steal resources from others later?”
George was about to rush at the man, but Julia stood up and bowed slightly. “Sir, I’m so sorry. George has always been a bit clean-obsessed. He has a bad temper, but he’s a really good person.”
Julia pulled George’s sleeve, acting coquettishly. “It’s okay. Waiting a little while isn’t a big deal. Since I became an actress, I’ve waited around on set a lot. Waiting is part of the job-it’s good for me.
“I’m sorry
for ruining your mood. I’ll pay for all the bills today-as an apology.”
The two fans who’d gotten the tickets looked at Julia, touched.
Everyone else felt they couldn’t complain. After all, she was buying their meals. They kept quiet.
The man was annoyed, but he couldn’t say anything. She’d apologized and offered to pay. Still, he said, “You don’t have to pay for me. I just hope you won’t pressure her to eat faster. This food is really hot-she could burn her mouth if she rushes.
“Besides, she paid for her meal. You don’t have to use these tricks to pressure her.”
He said it straight to their faces.

But Julia still wore a graceful smile. “Don’t worry. I’m not that kind of person.”
But after the man left, the air in the room turned heavy.
Eating here wasn’t cheap-most people were sitting at regular tables.
Julia really didn’t stand there pressuring Sherry. She even acted like a waitress.
“It’s okay, everyone. Eat more-don’t be shy. I’m the one who should be embarrassed for making a scene.”
She brought out really expensive cuts of meat. She refilled whatever people were running out of. Everyone felt embarrassed.
At first, they’d thought she was putting on an act. But now, they really thought they’d been overthinking.
After all, it wasn’t Julia who’d started the trouble-it was George.
They didn’t dare say anything to George. But they watched Julia busying herself for over an hour.

someone else played the hero again.
“Miss, it’s been over an hour-you should be done by now. You’re so thin; you can’t eat that much. Be lenient. She’s already backed down so much. You don’t have to keep making things hard for her.”
Sherry put down her fork.
Julia loved the feeling of winning. She could endure anything for that. And she always won.
No matter what Sherry said now, everyone would think Sherry was in the wrong.
These people had no idea about their identities-or the tension between them.
