Chapter 079 – So… How Did I End Up Buying Velvet Dine?
******Glenn reached for his water, took a slow sip, then frowned lightly. The kind of frown one might wear when a pen runs out of ink mid-sentence.‘If I were no longer interested?’ he echoed internally, mildly puzzled. ‘Who said I’d be full even if I ate triple this amount?’Of course, only God… or fate knew what kind of cardiac episode the middle-aged man would have suffered if he had heard Glenn’s thoughts just then.“You can go ahead and tell the kitchen to prepare the rest,” Glenn said finally, still as serene and detached as ever.The manager nearly stumbled over his own legs trying to stand, but managed to regain his balance and nodded frantically.“Yes, Boss. Right away,” he replied, bowing deeply before turning to relay the order.But before he could take three steps—“You know what? You can hold off for a bit,” Glenn added idly. “Or just give them a call.”“Yes, Boss,” the man replied instantly, pivoting to the telecom panel on the wall. He picked up the receiver a
Chapter 078 – Where Are the Rest of My Orders
******Meanwhile, far removed from the chaos below, inside an elegant oasis of opulence…The Presidential Dining Hall of Velvet Dine was a spectacle in itself… a haven of wealth designed for royalty, not mortals.Tall crystal chandeliers filled the room with a warm, golden glow, scattering star-like reflections across the polished marble floor. Everything in sight sparkled with luxury and care.Rich velvet chairs with gold-trimmed legs surrounded a sleek black table that gleamed like calm water, elegantly set with gold-edged plates and intricately cut wine glasses.It was the kind of room that made you speak in hushed tones... even if no one else was there.And seated at the head of the long table like a monarch of indulgence was Glenn.He was calm, composed, and comfortably lounging as though nothing in the world had ever gone wrong.Before him, like offerings to a gluttonous deity, were eight lavish dishes… each one a culinary masterpiece. Six sumptuous main courses and two
Chapter 077 – Who Exactly is Glenn?!
******Everyone watched Bianca as she limped away, her posture reeking not of shame, but of bitter determination and seething obsession.Her eyes burned with the unhinged glint of a fresh scheme, her back rigid as if she were strutting toward conquest rather than stumbling from disgrace. Not once did she spare Stanley… even as his unconscious body lay sprawled pathetically on the floor, and his frantic father hovered over him like a broken ghost, so much as a backward glance.There was no remorse in her steps. No regret on her shoulders. Only fury and resentment at herself… for not realizing Glenn’s worth before her humiliation began. And when the crowd saw this… when they truly processed the audacity of her attitude, even after everything, they felt their disgust surge past boiling point.Their expressions turned stormy, twisted with fury and nausea. One by one, as though releasing a valve long held shut, the venom in their hearts erupted in whispers and muttered curses:“What a
Chapter 076 – Bianca’s Sudden Obsession
******“No, no, no… You won’t collapse or faint, sir!” the middle-aged man sputtered, half-laughing, half-pleading. “I-I absolutely can’t afford for that to happen.”Despite the tense moment, others couldn’t help but chuckle, finding Glenn’s words and the middle-aged man’s response incredibly funny.The middle-aged man bowed again and scurried ahead, eager to open the way.Glenn stood and followed him.No grandeur. No pomp.Just a man walking as though he hadn’t been the epicenter of a storm moments ago.He didn’t glance at Bianca, who was still kneeling in the same spot like a discarded ragdoll.He didn’t acknowledge the guards who stood like statues made of shame. He didn’t even so much as flick a glance toward Stanley or the manager sobbing over him.He didn’t even nod to the crowd.He walked past them all like they didn’t exist, as if they were irrelevant props in a play he had never auditioned for.The crowd couldn’t help but watch him, breathless. Some even leaned awa
Chapter 075 – I’m Starving
******The old manager of Velvet Dine finally exhaled after a moment. The sound of it was heavy… wounded, like the rusted groan of a ship giving in to a storm. That breath alone conveyed a thousand buried regrets, an avalanche of grief no words could ever carry.Then, slowly, he turned toward his son.And in that moment, the restaurant’s manager aged by a decade.His back curved under invisible weight. His face paled into parchment. His fingers trembled as they hovered, hesitated, then finally reached for the broken body of his one and only child.He picked the harder choice… his blood.Because even if it cost him everything, if Stanley were to die while he stood there choosing pride or protocol, he would never, ever forgive himself. Not even in death.His eyes turned bloodshot. “S-Someone… someone call an ambulance! Please! Don’t just stand there like statues!” he cried, panic fraying every syllable as he stumbled toward Stanley’s crumpled form.But no one moved.The room ha
Chapter 074 – Everyone’s Repulsion and Regret
******At this moment, every trace of Stanley’s bravado... his swaggering pride, bloated ego, and self-important demeanor had evaporated like dew under fire.The once pompous, arrogant, foody, and domineering figure now lay sprawled across the polished floor, unconscious and pale, a shell of a man undone by betrayal.His limbs were awkwardly twisted, his mouth slightly ajar, and his breathing shallow and irregular. He looked like a puppet with its strings savagely cut… broken, discarded, and forgotten.And the sight of him in this pitiful condition... utterly defeated, emotionally wrecked, evoked something few thought they’d ever feel for him: genuine sympathy.Gasps escaped softly from the crowd. A heavy sigh rolled across the dining room like a quiet breeze of guilt.A young woman near the back exhaled shakily, her eyes shimmering. “He… he was just a pawn in her game.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the air.And then, inevitably, all eyes turned. Slowly, as though chor
