Chapter 490: Malicious Humiliation

Chapter 490: Malicious Humiliation

At this moment, Grace’s face was stained with tears and was all red and swollen, but her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. She looked just like a vibrant and delicate rose, so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.

Lucas had seen everything that happened just now.

Lucas had also met Gisele, the other person involved in this incident.

More than half a month ago, Grace had suddenly been abducted by the Wallaces and brought to the auction in Club Splendor. When Lucas rushed to save Grace, he had run into Gisele at the entrance of the auction.

At the time, Gisele had wanted to force Lucas to pose as her boyfriend so that she could use him as a shield to get rid of Kyle Kingston and make him stop pestering her. After Lucas had turned her down without hesitation, Gisele had flown into a rage and immediately framed Lucas by accusing him of insulting her. She had even made Kyle deal with Lucas.

Thus, Lucas loathed Gisele.

He looked at Gisele, who was sitting in front of him. She was indeed wearing a Prada dress, but it was clean and completely unstained by the soup.

Lucas glanced at the young man sitting across from Gisele, who looked just like a pretty boy with handsome features. But the gaze in his eyes seemed a little lewd, and he kept staring at Grace.

Almost in an instant, Lucas guessed what had happened.

He reckoned that the pretty boy sitting opposite Gisele must have started lusting for Grace because of her beauty. Moreover, he had also revealed his liking for Grace, which made Gisele jealous and thus deliberately set Grace up to make things hard for her.

Gisele was just trying to humiliate Grace on purpose by making her compensate for the dress and forcing her to eat the rice dirtied with saliva on the floor.

“Hah, that’s really funny. Your clothes are clean, and there are no soup stains at all. Yet you want my friend to compensate you with more than fifty grand. That’s such a low-level trick to scam and extort money from others,” Lucas said coldly as he stood in front of Grace, blocking the line of vision of the lecherous pretty boy.

Ever since Lucas suddenly appeared and stopped Grace from eating the dirty rice on the floor, Gisele had been wearing a hostile expression on her face. But when she saw Lucas, she immediately recognized him. Soon, anger was written all over her face. “You’re actually here too!”

The chubby lobby manager looked at Lucas and then at Gisele. He asked cautiously, “Miss Taylor, do the two of you know each other?”

Overwhelmed with fury, Gisele glared at the lobby manager menacingly. “I have such a high status. How could I possibly know such a penniless piece of trash?”

The lobby manager initially wanted to suck up to her and build some connections to her, but he ended up angering Gisele, so he was instantly frustrated.

After Gisele rebuked the lobby manager, she turned to Lucas and Grace, the two people who put her in a foul mood. She was infuriated.

“How dare you call me a swindler? I’m an heiress of the Taylor family. Why would I deliberately try to scam a restaurant waitress? My dress is from a high-end designer label, and it’s ruined after being stained a little. What do you know? You’re just a pauper.

“Seriously, do you people take this restaurant for a market? Can any Tom, Dick, or Harry come here? That’s so degrading! You even let this penniless man who can’t afford to have a meal come in. Do you plan to turn this place into a charity and feed poor people? Because it seems you’re not worried that they won’t pay up after eating!

“Hmph, but I still have a lot of leftovers here. If you really don’t have money to pay for your meal, I can do some charity and give them to you!”

With a malicious glint in her eyes, Gisele proudly poured the leftover fish scraps on the table onto the pile of soiled rice on the floor. Behaving like a queen, she said smugly, “Since you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, go ahead and be with her, you bottom-feeder! Finish up the scraps on the floor, and I’ll let you off!”

The lobby manager froze in shock for a moment. But in the blink of an eye, he hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right! You two, hurry up and come here to polish off all the food on the floor. Miss Taylor has magnanimously decided not to pursue this matter against you and is even offering you such a delicious meal. You two should be grateful!”

After saying this, he even extended his leg and pressed the filthy soles of his leather shoes onto the food scraps on the floor to crush them. He then said to them like he was giving them great mercy, “Count yourselves lucky today. The Lion Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in Orange County, and people like you won’t even get a chance to dine here!

“But now, Miss Taylor is generous enough to reward you with so much food. Do you know that this rice is top-grade rice imported from Thailand? Each small bowl costs close to three hundred dollars. And this broth and the crab shells may be leftovers, but they are from dishes that cost a few hundred dollars each. This makes the scraps on the floor worth a couple hundred dollars altogether! What are you two waiting for? Hurry up and eat it. After you do, remember to thank Miss Taylor!”

The chubby lobby manager’s eyes were glistening with malice as he mocked and humiliated Grace and Lucas. Although he had nothing against them, he thought that it was their fault for offending Gisele. They really deserve it!

After hearing Gisele’s and the lobby manager’s words, Grace felt aggrieved and humiliated, and she had an apologetic expression on her face when she looked at Lucas.

Although she didn’t know Gisele prior to this, she could tell from her outfit that she was definitely from a wealthy family. Besides, the lobby manager had also revealed her identity to be a member of the Taylor family, one of the four great families in Orange County. Thus, she knew that Gisele was definitely someone she couldn’t afford to provoke!

This matter initially had nothing to do with Lucas, but he got involved because he wanted to help her. As a result, he ended up incurring Gisele’s wrath.

Lucas had helped her out on several occasions, but she had only ever implicated him and become a huge burden. Grace felt really bad about it.

“Lucas, this matter has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly! Don’t get involved!” Grace said to Lucas anxiously.

Lucas smiled faintly. Grace was still the same as before. The first thing she would do was not to seek help to get herself out of trouble but to try her best not to implicate others. She was indeed still as kindhearted as before.

But before Lucas could respond to Grace, Gisele’s face turned sullen while the chubby lobby manager immediately stopped in front of Lucas. “Hah, are you trying to leave just like that after offending Miss Taylor? You’re being overly idealistic! If you two don’t finish the food on the floor, neither of you will leave!”
