The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463 

Then, someone picked up a plate of leftovers and dumped it right on the carpet. 

“Uncle, wait!” Olga was shocked, but it was too late to stop it. 

The other relatives followed suit, some stubbing out their cigarettes on the carpet, some pouring soup on the plants. 

Olga felt dizzy. 

Suddenly, someone accidentally knocked over an antique while wreaking havoc. 

Ironically, the antique fell where there was no carpet, and with a loud crash, it shattered into pieces. 

The entire hall went quiet. 

“This antique is worth three million dollars.” 

Hearing the waiter’s words, Olga felt weak in the knees and dizzy. 

Zachary, seeing the outrageous behavior of his family, was immediately disgruntled with their manners, but Yoli had gone to the restroom and hadn’t returned yet. 

Olga summoned Attlee, and the waiter called the supervisor. 

“I’m sorry, Mr. Murphy, but you really have to pay for this,” the supervisor, after hearing what happened, noted. “The antique is three million dollars, the plant is two hundred thousand dollars, and the carpet is fifty thousand dollars. We can provide the original purchase receipts. If you don’t pay, we’ll have to call the police.” 

“Kris, it’s all a misunderstanding.” Attlee tried to make nice with the supervisor, but it didn’t work. 

“Our CEO is also dining here today. If he gets wind of this, you know the consequences.” 

Upon hearing this, Attlee felt a sense of impending doom. 

They said the CEO, Romeo, was ruthless. If anyone caused trouble on his turf, their days were numbered! 

“Attlee, didn’t you book the whole restaurant? What are you afraid of?” 

“Besides, we know Attlee is loaded. A few million is nothing to him! Who are you underestimating?” 

Attlee wiped the sweat from his forehead and spotted Zachary not far away. He quickly said, “Hold on a moment.” Then he went to seek help from Zachary. 

“Son–in–law, I really need your help with this! You know, I don’t have that much cash on hand right now.” 

But Zachary looked a bit uncomfortable. “To be honest, I don’t have much money left in my bank account either.” 

“Could you maybe help cover some of it? Some of the relatives have lived in the countryside all their lives; they’re not used to this kind of place, and they didn’t mean to cause trouble.” 

Zachary glanced in the direction of the restroom. Yolanda still hadn’t returned. He really didn’t want to take on this responsibility, but Attlee kept calling him son–in–law, almost begging.
