The Overnight Student Trillionaire

Chapter 012

Ava, after cleaning her stained clothes, looked up to see Lorenzo standing in front of them.

Both of them were shocked as soon as they saw Lorenzo. They had least expected to run into Lorenzo, especially in a place like this.

Evan had taken Ava to the restaurant for a quick breakfast before they headed out to go do some luxurious shopping. However, they had never expected that a man like Lorenzo would come to dine here.

Ava's brows immediately furrowed in anger and irritation as she saw Lorenzo.

“What are you doing here, Lorenzo?” she spat in anger.

Lorenzo's heart was instantly filled with pain as he saw Ava's irritated expression. She looked at him with spite as if they had never even dated.

“Didn't you hear me, Enzo? What the hell are you doing here?” she asked in anger as she stared at Lorenzo.

Her loud voice caught people's attention as they started to look at what was going on.

“What do you mean what am I doing here? Are you the owner of this building? Must I report to you before stepping in?” Lorenzo replied coldly.

Although he was hurt to see them together looking like a lovey-dovey couple, he didn't want to draw more attention to what was already going on. He just wanted them to leave him alone.

Ava had an irritated look on her face; she clearly did not like the indifferent tone of Lorenzo. As she opened her mouth to talk,

a waitress interrupted her, carrying Lorenzo’s tray of food, “Mr. Lorenzo, your breakfast is ready.”

Everyone turned to look at her. As soon as she saw the mess of the fruit juice and the tension in the air, she froze mid-step.

“You bought an executive breakfast?” Ava blurted out with disbelief.

Her eyes dropped to the tray in the waitress’s hands — the neatly arranged platter. It was the most expensive item on the menu. She knew that because Evan had bought it for her several times.

Lorenzo slipped his hands into his pockets calmly. “Is there a problem with that?” he asked flatly.

Ava added in bitterness, “Since when could a peasant like you afford such a meal?”

Lorenzo gritted his teeth. He didn't like the tone Ava was using on him; after all, he was already minding his business and had left her alone.

“Please, I don't want any trouble. Excuse me,” Lorenzo said as he began to walk away.

However, he barely took two steps when Evan dragged him by the arm and pulled him back roughly. “Where do you think you are going, you pathetic bastard?” he cursed out loud. “When my woman is talking to you, you stand and listen.”

At this point, people were already bringing out their phones to record the drama.

Evan and Ava, upon seeing that people were paying attention to what was going on, decided to humiliate Lorenzo publicly.

Lorenzo frowned but stayed calm. He wanted to see what those pathetic couples wanted to do this time around.

“Can’t you staff see that he is poor? He can't even afford his own food. See how lean he is,” she said in spite as she looked at Enzo from head to toe.

The waitress, who was still standing and holding the tray of food, looked at Enzo from head to toe, paying keen attention to his worn-out sneakers, his old leather wristwatch, and his worn-out backpack. She was not able to survey his outfit because she was over the counter.

Clearly she could see that Lorenzo was poor and lean. Although he had a handsome face, one could tell he was struggling financially.

Ava, seeing that the waitress was clearly surveying him, said, “Do you think he can afford meals like this? I am not trying to bad-mouth him but—” She said, turning to the people with a louder voice, “I know him personally, everyone. He can't afford to feed himself; he eats at the food truck over there, the ones whose meals only cost $4,” she spat.

Everyone gasped in shock at what she was saying. People began to whisper loudly.

“So why is a guy like that dining over here?”

“Do you think he stole the money?”

“What the hell is going on?”

“I suggest you call security to throw him out. He is just here to eat your food and run away,” she added.

Lorenzo could no longer bear the insults that Ava was throwing at him. He knew the videos that people were already making were going to be posted on the school group, and he didn’t want to be involved in such a scandal.

“Ava, can you please stop all this? I am capable of paying for the food I ordered. Stop spouting trash!” Lorenzo shot back at her.

“You are capable? OK, pay. Prove here to everyone that you can pay the bill for the expensive breakfast you just bought. Prove to everyone here that you are not a loser,” Evan shot back.

The waitress set the tray on the table and walked towards Lorenzo. “Please bring out your card and pay for the food, sir.”

Lorenzo's eyes moved to Ava and Evan, who had mocking looks on their faces as they watched Lorenzo. They could beat their chests confidently that he was about to get himself ridiculed, and they were going to watch.
