Chapter 525 Cheeks in Pain At this moment, her fists were clenched tightly as she stood there.

Indeed, tobacco and alcohol had high taxes. Seeing the amount of tax on the bill made these students feel somewhat at a loss.

But if anyone felt the most distressed, it was certainly Charlie.

1.7 million for a bottle of wine? That was enough for him to buy a flashy new car! Charlie could never willingly pay that amount. The inside of his mouth sore from biting down, he looked toward his stunned roommate, gesturing for him to speak up.

However, Andy's eyes were unfocused, and he didn't pick up on the cue.

Charlie was now filled with resentment toward him.

How could Andy have encouraged him earlier and now refuse to say a word, leaving Charlie as the scapegoat? The room fell silent.

Lester prompted, "Sir?" As Charlie still refused to be embarrassed, he grabbed Lester's sleeve and asked, "Why is the wine so expensive?" "Expensive?" Lester smiled. "Sir, didn't you say it's merely a bottle of wine?" Lester wasn't loud, but his words were clear enough for everyone to hear.

Charlie was also annoyed by how Lester was embarrassing him.

His expression turned ugly as he spat, "But you didn't say it was this expensive!" Since the situation had escalated, Charlie no longer cared.

Gina chimed in, "1.7 million for a bottle of wine? You're trying to rob us!" His roommate also insisted, "Exactly! You're clearly taking advantage of us because we're just students!" Lester stopped smiling then. "Before opening the bottle, didn't I remind you that this wine is quite pricey? I asked if you were sure you wanted to proceed." "But you didn't mention the price," Gina huffed coldly. “This is a blatant scam!" This was Lester's first tencountering this situation. He countered, "The brand's price is listed on the wine list. I even let you see the origin and vintage just now..

"If it wasn't for the fact that this wine is so expensive, why would I, the boss, personally cto open it for you?" "Aren't you here because you want to suck up to Yvette-" Gina yelled, only for Lester to interrupt her. "Who's Yvette? I don't know anyone by that name.

"I made it clear-you asked the restaurant to send a bottle of wine to the guests in the Dusk Room and even claimed to be their family. I'm only here because the guests askedto return the wine.” Yvette's face fell at those words. Everyone else was stunned, too.

So, Lester wasn't here because of Yvette. Now that they all thought about it, it didn't seem like Lester knew Yvette at all.

But why did he keep quiet earlier? Not only was Yvette embarrassed, but they all felt like they had been slapped hard in the face. "Why didn't you deny it earlier, then?" This question, once asked, only made Yvetter feel even more embarrassed. She wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

Lester shrugged. "You were just making assumptions. We'run a business here. It wouldn't be right to expose everything, would it?"

"You let us continue to misunderstand just because you m didn't want to tell the truth. The wine is too expensive. I'll complain to the Federal Trade Commission that you're ripping off The content is on. novelenglish.net! customers!"

It might be common for other tourist spots' restaurants to rip off rip off om customers. However, this was a century-old establishment that had existed since hundreds of years ago.

They even had porcelain artifacts displayed on the first floor as cultural relics. The place might be small, but it had been passed down through several generations. There was no way they would deceive customers over a bottle of wine. How could they possibly overcharge customers when the taxes were paid openly and honestly? Lester's eyes turned cold. "Sure. You should go ahead and file a police report too, drank without paying and caused a scene in my restaurant.

"In the future, don't act all high and mighty if you can't afford certain things.' " since you It was absurd that these students wanted to flaunt their wealth to Dalton even though this was the level they were at!
