Chapter 99 Suffer in Silence
“Give me a bottle of the most expensive red wine here,” Gerald said to the waiter with a smile
The waiter froze for a moment and then said, “Sir, the most expensive red wine here is sold for 80
thousand dollars.”
Beside her, Audrey froze first and then gave a smile
She did not like Brian in the first place. Brian had been pestering her during his university days. She
was very disgusted, but because he had been chasing Audrey, he had often bought dinner for
Audrey’s roommates. Therefore, he was close with Audrey’s roommates.
This time, Sophia and Tara told him the news of Audrey, and then he ran over
Although Audrey did not know Gerald’s background, just because she knew Gerald had a Diamond
Card from New Bank, she knew this bottle of red wine was nothing to Gerald.
However, Brian was different!
He was not in the management of the Kenneth family yet, so he couldn’t earn 160 thousand dollars
a year
Judging from how Brian had shown off just now, if his salary were very high now, he would
definitely say it out loud.
He did not say it, so it proved his salary was actually quite ordinary
He could afford a bottle of wine that was worth around 3,000 dollars, but this 80-thousand-dollar
wine would probably cost his annual salary
She smiled and said to the waiter, “Go open it!”
The waiter nodded and left the dining table. Sophia and Tara both had astonished expressions on
their faces, and they couldn’t utter a sound.
They also thought Gerald must have no money. They also knew Brian asked Gerald to pay the bill
together just to humiliate Gerald.
They were fully astonished when Gerald spoke.
Brian’s face was red. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But Gerald looked at him with a smile and said casually, “it’s just 80 thousand dollars. We will only need to pay 40 thousand
dollars each. You can afford it, can’t you?”
Gerald repeated what Brian had said
Hearing that, Brian felt his throat tremble. He really wanted to refuse, but if he refused, he would
feel embarrassed.
Brian thought Gerald and Audrey had taken a taxi here, and the way Gerald was dressed indicated
he was not rich. Brian gritted his teeth, looked at Gerald, and said, “You don’t look like a rich person at all. What? You have been relying on Audrey? You pretend to be rich with Audrey’s money?”
He knew Audrey’s family was rich. In fact, Brian chased Audrey not only because she was extremely beautiful, but also because she came from money!
If Brian could be with Audrey, he would not have to work for the rest of his life.
Therefore, there was no problem for Audrey to pay for this bottle of wine.
Audrey glanced at Brian and said calmly, “First of all, Gerald is much richer than my father Second,
I am willing to give him money. It’s none of your business.”
Brian’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and looked at Gerald. “If he were rich, he wouldn’t have taken a taxi here with you or dressed like this.”
Audrey curled her lips and said, “Do you think everyone wants to flaunt their wealth like you? Shame on you to show off your small salary.”
While they were talking, the waiter came over with a bottle of wine and asked in a low voice, “Sir, because the wine is expensive, although it has been opened, you need to pay before drinking it!
Gerald looked at Brian with a smile, then handed the Diamond Card to the waiter and said, “Okay!”
Then, Gerald took out his phone and showed his PayPal’s QR code, saying, “40 thousand dollars. Transfer it to me.”
Brian’s expression kept changing
