Chapter 741

Minerva asked that as she could think of no other explanation. It never once crossed her mind that theCunninghams would know someone as prestigious as the boss of the restaurant. From her perspective,only people like her family who had lived abroad should know someone like that.

After some thought, Jonah was still at a loss as to who might have paid the bill. Nonetheless, hechuckled. “I suppose that’s the case. Although it has been a few years since I last returned to Cathay, Ido have a few business partners here. Perhaps they offered to buy me a meal after catching wind of myreturn. Waiter, I would like to have a chat with your boss.”

The waiter smiled. “Ladies and gentlemen, our boss has yet to arrive. She gave us a call to have usprepare the wine for you. She will be here in a minute, and she should drop by after a moment.”

There was a complacent look on Jonah’s face. “Excellent! Come, let us continue with our feast. My friendwill be here in a moment, and I’ll introduce you all then.”

Both Minerva and Tate were also wearing smug looks on their faces, for their father having such aprestigious friend was somehow something to be proud of. Meanwhile, Chloe was all smiles as shespoke. “Geez, Jonah, didn’t I tell you to not inform this many people of our return? You’re making ahuge fuss over this! I was hoping to spend more time with Helen! We will have to deal with your friendsonce they receive news about our return. Can’t I have more time with Helen?”

Despite having gotten a scolding from Chloe, Jonah laughed. “I can’t just avoid them, since they’re all oldacquaintances of mine. Since they found out about our return, we have to give them face. After all, wewill need their help while doing business here. Helen and you will have plenty of time to yourselves lateron, so there’s no rush to it.”

After that, Chloe nodded apologetically. “I’m sorry, Helen. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you companyin the next few days.”

The Cunninghams were still in awe of what had just transpired, for they had believed that it was Jonah’sfriend who had paid for their expenses. In response, Helen gave them an awkward smile. “Chloe, weagreed that my family would buy you dinner tonight. This is just embarrassing.”

Minerva wore a disdainful pout. “Aunt Helen, you can drop the act already. The meal and the wine willcost you millions. How are you going to pay for it if the bill is on you?”

Upon hearing that, Chloe waved her hand. “Minerva, watch how you speak! Helen, please forgive her. Iam the one who spoiled her. Speaking of which, you don’t need to go to such lengths to impress us. I willgladly have a simple meal as long as I get to share it with you.”

Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes. What Chloe said was so hurtful that she overlooked Minerva’simpudence. After some time, the waiter came back, giving a knock on the door. “Ladies and gentlemen,our boss will be here in a moment. Do you have any other requests?”

Jonah tidied his clothes, smiling. “It’s alright. We’re old acquaintances, so there’s no need to be so formalwith us.”

With a nod, the waiter politely stationed himself at the door. At that moment, footsteps could be heardcoming in from outside. There was a whiff of perfume before a tall and beautiful woman made her entry.The instant the men laid eyes on the woman, they were stunned by the beauty that she naturally exuded.

Ignoring their stares, the woman walked up to Matthew with a smile. “Greetings, Mr. Larson, PresidentCunningham. Geez, why didn’t you give me a heads up when you decided to dine here? I could havehad the chefs prepare our specialty. Please forgive me for any inconveniences that you might haveencountered.”

Sasha was utterly flabbergasted. “President Sandel, you own this restaurant?”

It turned out that beauty was none other than Leanna Sandel herself.
