Chapter 738

Demi smirked. “Why, why, you look surprised! Is it that shocking to know that a meal could cost twenty
thousand? Just look at your faces!”

Minerva was momentarily startled before she spat begrudgingly, “Pooh! I don’t believe what you said!
This must be a scam! Whatever that the menu listed must be for show! I will be explicitly ordering these!
You’d better have an explanation if it turns out that the dishes they serve don’t match the description!
Hmph!”

Immediately, Minerva began ordering away, with Tate following suit, no longer intent on having steak. In
fact, they ordered anything that was labeled with the most ridiculous prices. When they were done, they
stared at the entrance with a pointed look that was overtly hostile.

After all, neither of the siblings wanted to admit that the Cunninghams could lead a life that was even
more luxurious than theirs while in Cathay. Therefore, they were determined to expose what they
perceived to be a scam.

Soon, the dishes they ordered were served one after the other. As soon as the siblings saw the dishes,
they were quite literally stunned. Having lived abroad, they were considered somewhat cultured, so
they could recognize that all of the dishes were authentic delicacies.

At that moment, Demi snickered. “How is it? Do you still feel like reporting this as a scam? Come on,
give this fresh French foie gras a go! The Australian abalones were airlifted from abroad. Oh, and here is
the caviar! Here, try them! This stuff is priced by grams. How do they taste?”

Neither Tate nor Minerva countered her, for they were busy stuffing food down their throats. Although
they had spent many years abroad, they never got a lot of opportunities to have such a lavish meal.

The only times they got to have a taste of these dishes were when their rich friends bought them a meal.
Even then, they only had a small amount, and with limited choices. Therefore, it was unprecedented for



them to be able to order away as they wished, as well as be able to eat all they wanted.

Other than the above, they also ordered two bottles of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. While neither
sibling ever tasted the wine, Jonah did, so he could discern if it was real as soon as he tasted it. By then,
the siblings were totally baffled.

The two bottles of wine alone would cost around two hundred thousand, while the dishes would cost
them tens of thousands, which was a relatively small amount that could be ignored. In short, the meal
would easily cost them three hundred thousand.



Throughout the meal, the siblings were enjoying the delicacies so much that they didn’t have the space
of mind to think about anything else. It wasn’t until they were almost full that they realized the meal could
cost a fortune.

Tugging on Tate’s shirt, Minerva whispered, “Will the Cunninghams leave the bill to us if they can’t
actually afford the meal, considering how lavish it is?”

Tate’s expression changed as soon as he heard that. “Oh, that might very likely happen! Mom used to
say that they were poor. In fact, they had nothing! Besides, her husband likes to take advantage of
people’s kindness. I bet they’re planning to take advantage of us by bringing us for a meal here!”

Hearing that sent Minerva into a panic. “We can’t let that happen! A few hundred thousand Cathian
money would be around forty thousand! Our family can’t afford that! We have to get out of this scam! For
starters, why don’t we find an excuse to lead Mom and Dad away?”

With a nod, Tate agreed to the plan that he deemed to be brilliant. Meanwhile, Chloe hadn’t noticed what
her children were up to, as she was appraising Matthew smilingly. “Sasha, who might this gentleman
be?”



After being mocked by Minerva when she entered the room, Sasha forgot to even introduce Matthew to
her. Upon hearing that, she announced proudly, “Aunt Chloe, he’s my husband, Matthew Larson. He
works as a doctor in a hospital.”

Chloe pushed her glasses up her nose to examine Matthew once again with a contemptuous look. “A
doctor… How much does he earn every month working as a doctor in Cathay?”
