Elaine snorted coldly, a closed-lip smile formed at the corners of her mouth, a frosty one.
"Ahem! Fane, since it's a rare opportunity t o gather everyone for lunch, today the bill i s on me!"
Out of sudden, Fiona blurted, followed by a giggly laugh.
Fane and Selena instantly looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief. The thought of Fiona being generous and treating everyone to lunch with her own money had never crossed their minds.
"Mother, are you sure? I'll pay for it, alright? Don’t worry about it!"
A pretentious modesty appeared on Fane's face, he smiled and offered to pay.
"Heh! I’m just so happy today. Besides, I'm loaded now, no longer the old Fiona—poor and impecunious. It's only lunch, I’ll pay for it!"
Fiona chortled in return, her mood obviously high and good.
"Tsk tsk, it's not easy for a person to change, Ma. You used to be such a stingy person. You wouldn’t pay even if someone gave you money. I never imagined that you would suddenly have the conscience to do s o now!”
Ben said, grinning.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I was stingy? We were poor before. I was being frugal, got it? Someone like me i s more suited to manage money!"
Fiona rolled her eyes at Ben. "Eat all you want, everyone," she told the entire family." Just order more wine if you think it’s not enough. The bill can come up to ten thousand, a hundred thousand-it doesn’t matter!"
"Hear that? Did you hear that? My mom just said that. Let's eat. Don’t be shy!"
Ben said with a huge grin.

I hope that by the end of the year fane will leave the whirling world and go to a new place...
This novel become with much unnecessary speech a lot of trash talk with a few of fight and advanced events even a fight with beast will take more then 10 chapters to be ended and many other important events will cost even more then then 20 chapters to end . U can remove the long unnecessary speech or u can post 20 chapters or more per day,if this not possible i will stop reading this novel,i don't have any other option because i'm not enjoying it...
It became a little boring,the events advanced slowly that 10 chapters become not enough to enjoy the events and there's a lot of unnecessary speech...
