Chapter 723

Several of the chefs were shocked beyond words.

Surely this is not how a celebrity should behave?

He is no different from a spoilt brat.

Once the chef finished preparing the noodle, Henry personally served it to Daniel and Hannah. “Please, enjoy,” he said as he offered the pasta to them.

Daniel and his wife quickly picked up their forks and started to eat.

The sooner they finished their meal, the sooner they could leave. To stay there another minute was torture.

As soon as they took a bite, they spat out their mouthful of pasta in unison.

It was unbelievably salty!

This was not a plate of pasta. It was practically a plate of salt.

It was the last straw for Hannah, who slammed her chopsticks on the table and yelled, “Henry Jones, you have crossed the line!”

“This is not even fit for pigs,” she said.

Henry merely replied coldly, “That’s precisely it. You two are only fit for food meant for pigs.”

“You b**tard!” Hannah yelled out. She stood up and grabbed Daniel, “Daniel, let’s go.”

“Hold it right there,” Henry roared. “You have to finish your food before you are allowed to leave. Otherwise, I will terminate the contract with Lacey, and she will have to compensate me one hundred million in damages!”

What!

One hundred million in compensation!

Daniel and his wife’s faces went pale.

The Linton Group was a wealthy organization, but its funds were invested in the open market.

If Linton Group were forced to honor a one hundred million payout, it could push the company into bankruptcy!

They were both devastated.

In the end, Daniel gritted his teeth in silent fury and turned to Hannah. “My dear, I am feeling famished. Let me have your share as well,” he said to her.

He was prepared to shoulder the burden all by himself.

A sense of helplessness dawned on Hannah’s face. “But my love, you have a heart condition. You can’t

take too much salt...” she said with a lump in her throat.

“I’ll be fine,” Daniel replied with a forced smile. “Just think of what it would mean for Lacey.”

He sat back down, picked up his fork, and took a mouthful of the pasta before him.

The overwhelming taste forced Daniel to shut his eyes involuntarily, and his cheeks trembled uncontrollably.

He felt his heartbeat pounding away throughout his entire body.

In the end, he managed to force the salt-laden pasta down his throat.

As soon as the first mouth of pasta hit his stomach, he felt his abdominals tighten and his gut curl.

He dared not imagine what would happen to him if he were to finish both plates!

A middle-aged man of similar age to Daniel could not bear to watch on and started to speak up, “Mrs. Jones, we have been neighbors all these years. Surely this is not necessary...”

Henry flashed a sly smile at him and said, “Uncle Wang, is your daughter still studying film? Another word from you, and I will be sure to end her tenure in college. You would be wise not to tempt me.”

The man immediately clamped up as he dared not say another word.

Everyone else quivered in fear and kept silent.

They were in no position to go against Henry Jones and could not afford to offend him.

At that moment, Zeke returned.

When he saw the luxury car parked at the entrance and the big yellow banner, he immediately understood what had happened.

Without a doubt, Henry was here to stir up trouble in the neighborhood.

Zeke had trouble locating Henry as he had a score to settle with him.

And here he was, delivered on a silver platter.

Thus, Zeke drove straight into the neighborhood.

When he arrived, he was enraged by what he saw!

Henry was supposed to be treating neighbors to a meal.

Every table was filled with delicacies, but in contrast, Daniel and Hannah only had pasta on their table.

Daniel struggled to eat the plate of pasta with anguish. Meanwhile, Hannah watched on with tears rolling down her cheeks.

As for Henry, he simply stood by and gloated.

It was evident that the plate of pasta wasn’t what it seemed!

Zeke rushed over and immediately called out, “Mum, Dad, don’t eat that.”

Daniel and Hannah immediately got up as soon as they saw Zeke. “Zeke, what are you doing here?” they asked.

“First, tell me what is going on here?” he said to them.
