Cassie gritted her teeth with rage.
She had once tried to flirt with Christopher, but he immediately rejected her. Natalie, on the other hand, always seemed to be surrounded by men. She already had Sebastian, but now she even had the audacity to hook up with Christopher.
Cassie tried to comfort herself, telling herself that Natalie was nothing but rubbish. Maybe Christopher was with them now because he knew Sebastian.
“Is that so? Introduce us to him! But the gorgeous girl next to him is probably his girlfriend.”
“You should see her without makeup. She’s hideous. You look much better than her. Anyway, I’ll just go there and say hi. You guys can order ahead.” Before waiting for a response from her friends, Cassie sauntered over to Natalie’s table.
Natalie had been threatening her parents, saying that if they didn’t give her money, she would tell Sebastian the secret of her being a substitute. Yet she had the gall to have dinner at such a high-end restaurant.
Today, Cassie was determined to reveal Natalie’s hideous true colors in front of Sebastian and Christopher.
Natalie and Christopher were racking their brains for a topic when they suddenly smelled a pungent perfume.
“My dear younger sister, you’ve pushed our parents too far. How could you come to such an expensive restaurant for dinner?”
Batting her eyelashes piteously, Cassie emerged at their table, tears streaming down her face.
“Our family is struggling financially, and our parents are bleeding dry. Why can’t you think about our family and stop spending so much money? You squander the family funds like this every single day. You’re an adult already, but you keep demanding money from our parents. Sooner or later, they’ll jump off a building from the pressure!”
Cassie’s voice wasn’t that loud, but she spoke clearly enough for everyone to hear her. She wept and whined so incessantly that all the guests in the restaurant glanced at their table.
Then, the hall was filled with hushed whispers.
“Oh, what a scandal!”
“How could that girl squander her parents’ money like this? What a parasite! And are those two her toy boys?”
“If I had a daughter like her, I would’ve died from anger already. She even has the audacity to date two men at the same time. Young people nowadays really have no shame!”
Sebastian’s handsome face immediately darkened.
Christopher lowered his gaze helplessly. This dinner was awkward to begin with. Now, he was even being slandered.
Natalie unhurriedly put down her knife and fork and calmly looked at the woman with heavy makeup.
She knew that Cassie just wanted to smear her name in front of all these people.
But she also knew that Cassie was an idiot. She was wearing a Chanel dress, an Hermes handbag, and a Dior necklace. How dare she talk about being frugal while dressed like that?
“I asked you for money because you owe me money. Isn’t it only natural for people to pay off their debts?” Natalie’s voice was clear yet calm.
Tears rolled down Cassie’s cheeks uncontrollably. She sobbed, “Mom and Dad took good care of you, yet this is how you repay them! They really can’t afford to give you money now. We are family. How can you bear to treat them like this?”
Then, she suddenly took her necklace off and threw it at Natalie, crying even louder. “We really don’t have the money! This necklace must be worth something. Take it as a payment of our debt! Please don’t threaten Mom and Dad anymore!”
