Right then, another waiter wheeled a fresh dish toward Seraphina's table.
Felix immediately shot his hand up and stopped the waiter.
"Hold on. What dish is that? Bring us a portion too."
The waiter paused in shock before quickly explaining, "I'm sorry, sir. This is a limited-edition dish pre-ordered by Mr. Cole. It's the only portion available today."
"Pre-ordered?"
Felix scoffed with total disdain.
"Doesn't that just mean it hasn't hit the table yet? Tell you what, I'll pay double the price. Give the dish to us."
The waiter instantly looked incredibly torn.
"Mr. Zane, I don't think that's appropriate. After all, Mr. Cole booked it in advance—"
"What's the matter? Think it's not enough money?"
Felix's expression darkened. "Double isn't enough for you?"
Hearing the commotion, Seraphina leisurely set down her silverware, sheer mockery flashing in her eyes.
"You're certainly throwing your weight around, Felix. Snatching something someone else pre-ordered without a second thought—is this how the Zane family taught you to behave?"
Felix's face flushed bright red instantly.
"Seraphina, what is that supposed to mean? Are you two the only ones allowed to eat these dishes?"
He stubbornly stuck his neck out, getting angrier with every word.
"I know you guys have big names and the Cole family is powerful, but you can't just bully people like this, right? I'm willing to pay double! Why shouldn't I be allowed to buy it?"
Hearing this, Gideon slowly raised his gaze.
He swept a chilling stare across Felix, the sheer force of his presence plummeting the temperature around them.
"Felix."
Those two simple syllables made Felix's heart lurch.
He instinctively shrank back, a massive chunk of his blustering arrogance evaporating into thin air.
If he truly provoked the ruthless head of the Cole family, not even the Zane family could save his neck.
But with Cynthia watching right there, he couldn't possibly swallow his pride and back down.
Right then, Seraphina gently nudged Gideon's arm and shot him a subtle glance.
