Chapter 526 Holding Wynter Accountable Lester's expression deeply wounded Yvette's pride.
!" Yvette didn't want to further degrade herself over a bottle of wine. “It's just a misunderstanding. Charlie, use your card." As she looked at Charlie, her eyes carried other emotions.
Since they were of a kind, he understood what she meant-if this escalated, it would only tarnish the Shepherd family's reputation.
If news about how the Shepherd family's son couldn't even afford a bottle of wine were to spread at school, any aspirations of entering Kingbourne's elite circles would be shattered.
meant. With his teeth clenched, he Charlie wasn't blind, so he understood what sh instructed, "Bringthe card reader." The restaurant manager then approached him.

"Excuse me, sir, your card doesn't work. It seems there's insufficient balance.' Insufficient balance? Those two words made Charlie turn pale as he choked out, "How's that possible? He had at least five million on this card! possible When Charlie tried again, he suddenly remembered Nelson mentioning something after the incident at Southdale.
As they needed money urgently and had to use it to leverage relationships, Nelson had imposed a spending limit on him so that Charlie would save money.
"Just take however much you can for now," Charlie said through gritted teeth.
Hearing that, the restaurant manager glanced at him and continued to swipe the card.
In the end, Charlie had to use three cards and sonline funds just to settle the bill. Now, he had no dignity left and was a joke in front of everyone.
The meal becas unappetizing as if it were filled with needles.
After collecting the money, Lester intended to report back to Dalton, but this group of students couldn't sit still. They wanted to leave after finishing the wine in a few sips.
Charlie, on the other hand, looked gloomy as if a storm were about to break.
Worried that Charlie might hold a grudge against him for this incident, Andy began to shift the blame.
"Charlie, the manager said it was the guests in the Dusk Room who didn't want our wine. Isn't that fake heiress deliberately messing with us?" "She? Does she even know the value of wine?" Someone sneered.
Charlie remembered how Wynter had embarrassed him at Southdale and now even more so. His eyes started to blaze with anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnother person added fuel to the fire. "I bet she wants to make a scene here to get attention because she can't stand how close you and Yvette are.
"That boyfriend of hers is nothing but a gigolo. He probably isn't happy with his own life, which is why he's coming up with all these twisted ideas."
Yvette listened but kept her thoughts to herself while softly suggestingn "Charlie, perhaps we should apologize to Wynter. Things won't get better if she keeps acting like this." "Apologize?" Charlie's anger had reached a boiling point as he had just lost 1.7 million for nothing. His expression turned cold.
"I need to see her and ask her in front of her broke boyfriend why she has no shame." Upon hearing that, Yvette called out for him not to go, but she didn't try to stop him physically.
The others also thought Wynter was messing with them. When they they om thought about reclaiming their dignity, they thought her gigolo boyfriend seemed like the perfect target. Selena didn't join them. She felt these people were short-sighted and had lost their minds.
Would someone who could afford to send such an expensive bottle of wine really be what the recording to manager implied, the ones he was showing respect to were the guests in the Dusk Room, not them! Charlie had always been arrogant. He was confident the other party was penniless, especially since he hadn't seen any luxury cars outside.
What he didn't know was that VIPS had designated parking spots. With that, the group recklessly headed toward the Dusk Room.
