Exasperated, Sasha snapped, “Aunt Chloe, you don’t have to worry about me. I can make my own
decisions. No matter how much money he earns, I want him as my husband. Even if he doesn’t go to
work, he’ll be the man who I love the most. I will never divorce him!” With a faint smile, Matthew held her
hand.
Chloe was disappointed over Sasha’s decision. “You foolish child. Do you think I will do you harm? I have
your best interests in mind! H-How dare you disobey me?”
Minerva was wearing a smirk. “Wow, I never knew you like having wimps like him as your husband,
Sasha. However, he doesn’t even look handsome. What do you like about him? His skills in bed?”
An awkward silence hung heavy in the air due to her question, which seemed to have also riled Chloe
up. “What nonsense are you even talking about, Minnie?”
Sasha’s face was red from anger. “You have no say in my business! Besides, none of you have any
right to criticize Matthew like that!”
Hearing that only served to infuriate Chloe. “Why don’t I have a say in that? Sasha, since when did you
become like this? Why can’t I at least comment on a man who isn’t making anything of himself? I am
your aunt, and I played a role in caring for you when you were young! Why don’t I have a say in who you
marry?” Sasha was rendered speechless by her counter, as Chloe was, in fact, her aunt.
At that moment, the room door opened and in came a waiter with two bottles of wine. “Dear guests,
here’s the 1995 Romanee Conti as you ordered. Would you like it uncorked now?”
The occupants in the room exchanged furtive glances with each other before Minerva shot up from her
seat in agitation. “W-Who ordered the Romanee Conti? Don’t you know how much these cost? I-I’ve had
enough! Aunt Helen, why would you do this to us? I will forgive you for imposing on our kindness by
bringing us for a meal here. However, this is going way overboard. The meal alone costs tens of
thousands in our country’s currency, so are you planning to see my family go broke by ordering not one,
but two bottles of Romanee Conti? A bottle of these would cost a million. With two, that would be two
million. Are you nuts?”
Tate also stood up from his seat to lead Chloe away. “Mom, Dad, let’s leave. They will have to pay for
their meal on their own. Do they think we’re idiots? Even if we’re willing to allow them to take advantage
of us, this is ridiculous!”
On the other hand, Helen and the rest were also stunned. “Hold on, Chloe. This must be a mistake.
Waiter, we didn’t order any Romanee Conti.”
The waiter smiled at them. “Oh, allow me to explain. These two bottles of wine are on the house. Aside
from that, our boss has also paid for your expenses tonight. Would you like to have the wine here, or
would you like to take them away? We can wrap them up for you if you would like to take them with you.”
The explanation left everybody in the room dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Minerva’s eyes went wide. “Hey,
a-are you serious? Is your boss really giving them to us as a present? Are you sure that’s what your boss
told you? Repeat that. I’m going to make a recording. After all, I don’t want you to accuse us of anything
once we uncorked the wine.”
The waiter stared into her eyes in all seriousness. “Miss, feel free to record what I said. I will take
responsibility for my own words. These two bottles of wine are indeed a present from our boss, who has
also paid for all of your expenses tonight.”
Stupefied, Minerva was still staring at the wine wide-eyed. Apparently, she was unable to grasp the
situation. All of a sudden, she shuddered as she was hit with a realization. “Dad, could the boss be your
friend?”
