My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1572

"Yes, I'll call that despicable woman right away!" Saskia took out her phone and dialed Miriam's number.

Miriam, who was busy in the kitchen of one of her three restaurants, picked up her phone. Seeing it was her sister-in-law calling, she hesitated for a moment before answering, "Saskia, you helped me secure such big customers. I appreciate it!"

"Haha... As I always say, family should be kind to one another! Um... Miriam, I've thought about it, and it's not easy for you and Sammy to entertain over 600 people. So, here's the deal, they'll eat at your restaurants, and after they're done, you can take them to my inn." Saskia was polite at first, but her last sentence sounded a bit like a command.

Miriam smiled faintly. "Saskia, these soldiers are the heroes who saved us. No matter how tired or difficult it is, it's worth it. I'll continue doing this business even if I lose money, so don't worry about me!" With that, she hung up the phone.

There was no doubt that Saskia had come to Treasure Street to watch her fumble. However, when she realized that the people she was entertaining were the soldiers, she immediately regretted her actions. What was this nonsense? "Argh! I'm furious, absolutely furious! How dare that despicable woman hang up on me?!" Saskia immediately pushed open the car door and headed toward Miriam's restaurant.

Just as Miriam stepped out of the kitchen, she saw Saskia approaching with a furious expression. Her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to block her path. "Saskia, what do you think you're doing?" she asked in a lowered tone. Saskia's eyebrows shot up. "Did you not hear what I just said? After they're done eating, you are to take them to my inn!"

Miriam naturally would not agree to it and made up an excuse, saying, "Their leader already paid the deposit just now. They're definitely staying at our inns tonight."

With a loud smack, Saskia slapped Miriam across the face. "You despicable woman! I'm not negotiating with you, I'm ordering you!"

"You..." Miriam raised her hand as if to retaliate.

"Mom!" At that moment, Sammy, riding a shared electric bike, called out. She parked the bike by the roadside and hurried over. Seeing the slap mark on her mother's face, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She glared at Saskia angrily. "Who do you think you are to hit someone like this?"

"How disrespectful! It's because she deserved it!" Saskia slapped Sammy this time. She had lost her head by now. She was determined to bring these soldiers to her inn, no matter what.

Practically the instant Sammy was slapped, Miriam struck back. Trembling with anger, she lunged forward, scratching and hitting. "You dare to hit my daughter?! I'll fight you!"

The two women quickly began grappling with each other. Seeing his mother being attacked, Damien immediately rushed to help.

"Stop!" Just then, Nash and Dallas came over, followed by high-ranking officials from the Divine Strategy Squadron and the Celestial Dragon Squadron. They had come to toast the soldiers. The two women had lost control and could not stop. Sammy was gripping Saskia's hair, and Miriam had scratched Saskia's face, leaving several streaks of blood.

Over the years, the mother and daughter had gotten into many fights to protect themselves. Damien had one arm around Sammy's neck, and her eyes started rolling back.

Robin immediately rushed over to separate the four. Nash followed, his brows furrowing. "What's going on?"

The Roches' expressions were dark, and there was a murderous glint in Battlestar's eyes. A perfectly good dinner had turned into a brawl. Anyone would be affected by such a scene.

Noticing that Dima Roche was among them, Saskia realized that the people approaching them were the heroes' superiors. She covered her face and began to wail, "Sir, please help me! I just wanted our heroes to stay in a better inn. But my sister-in-law accused me of trying to steal her business. I couldn't explain myself, and she attacked me..."

Damien chimed in, "Exactly! They're crazy about making money. They'll do anything for it. They're a disgrace to the Lloyds!"

"Y-ou're slandering us!"
