Chapter 400 Restaurant Clash

“Are you saying I’m making it up?” Ruby fumed, furious that no one would take her seriously.

The housekeeper could only try to placate her. “Ms. Peterson, perhaps you’re just feeling lonely. Maybe you should call your parents?”

He was truly at a loss. Lately, every time the young lady tried to sleep, this happened. He was beginning to suspect she might need to see a specialist.

“That won’t help. Just go,” Ruby snapped, waving him away irritably.

She didn’t miss them at all. When they were home, all they did was criticize her and enforce endless rules.

“Very well,” the housekeeper replied, reluctantly exiting the room.

Ruby scanned her surroundings once more before finally sinking back onto the bed.

The maddening part was that the eerie noise would start the moment she closed her eyes to sleep, only to vanish completely when she opened them.

“Could I really be imagining it?” Ruby began to doubt her own senses.

When the noise started up again, Ruby had finally had enough. She got up, grabbed her things, and hurried out of the house.

Arabella and Lucas were enjoying their lunch..

“This place just opened. The food is excellent–please, have more,” Lucas said warmly, gesturing to the dishes.

“It really is quite good,” Arabella agreed, her eyes brightening. “Seems you know all the best spots.”

“Of course. There isn’t a worthwhile restaurant in this city I haven’t tried,” Lucas said cheerfully. “I’ll take you to every top–rated place in town.”

Arabella smiled. “I’ll hold you to that.”

“Well, well, Arabella. Which poor soul have you managed to latch onto this time?” A sharp, familiar voice cut through the air as Harper walked up to their table, eyeing Lucas with disdain, “He doesn’t look like much, does he?”

Arabella felt a wave of irritation, Can’t I even have a meal in peace?

“Get away from our table. You’re ruining my appetite,” Arabella said coldly,

Harper scoffed. “Is this your restaurant? Who are you to tell me to leave?”

“She may not be able to, but I certainly can!” Lucas‘ voice was laced with displeasure.

Who did this person think she was, coming over and being so blatantly rude?

“Oh yeah? Who do you think you are?” Harper challenged. “We have a reservation. You can’t just have us thrown out because you feel like it!”

Lucas raised a hand and called out, “Manager, please.”

A staff member in a suit quickly approached. “Yes, sir. How may I assist you?”

“These individuals are disturbing our meal. Please escort them out,” Lucas stated firmly.

The manager nodded. “Of course, sir.”

He then turned to Harper and Dylan. “I apologize, but we are currently at full capacity. You may wish to return at another time.”

“And there won’t be a ‘next time‘. This restaurant will no longer serve these two. Ever,” Lucas added decisively.

“Don’t you dare! On what grounds?” Harper protested, digging in her heels.

“Ma’am, I’m afraid all our tables are genuinely occupied. Please consider visiting us another day,” the manager replied, his tone polite but unyielding.

Harper pointed angrily toward the dining room. “There are empty tables right over there! Who are you trying to fool?”

“Those tables are reserved. We have no available seating at this time,” the manager said, his expression neutral.

“You…” Harper knew he was bending the truth, but she was left speechless.

“We have a confirmed reservation. If you treat patrons like this, don’t think I won’t file a formal complaint,” Dylan threatened.

The manager remained perfectly composed. “You are, of course, welcome to submit a complaint. However, we currently have no available seating.”

“Why are you taking orders from him?” Harper argued, exasperated. “He’s just another customer! Is this how you run your business?”

The manager didn’t flinch. “As I’ve stated, we have no open tables.”

“Can you say anything besides that?” Dylan snapped, his patience wearing thin.

They were seething, but facing such an implacable professional, they felt their anger had nowhere to go.

“Just leave if they’re asking you to. You’re disturbing everyone else’s meal.”

“Honestly, people with such poor manners shouldn’t be dining in a place like this.”

“If I were them, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face here.”

Murmurs rose from the surrounding diners. Harper and Dylan’s faces flushed with humiliation.

“Fine. We’re leaving,” Harper hissed, shooting a venomous glare at Arabella. “Don’t get too comfortable. We’ll see how long your little charade lasts.”

“Is that a threat?” Arabella’s eyes held a mocking glint. “Frankly, I’m surprised you two still have the nerve to show your faces around me.”

Harper felt a sudden pang of anxiety. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean. Did you really think no one knew about your little schemes?” Arabella said meaningfully before,

Just as he finished speaking, Dylan’s phone buzzed loudly on the table,

He glanced at the screen and answered, “Mom? What is it?”

His expression shifted as he listened, “What? What happened?”
