Charlie was a little surprised when he heard that Harold had also booked a suite at Heaven Springs. What a coincidence. Didn’t Don Albert say that he owned Heaven Springs? He had prepared a suite for him in the restaurant as well, hadn’t he? Meanwhile, Gerald gaped in shock. “Wow, Harold, did you actually manage to make a reservation for the Golden Suite in Heaven Springs? Not everyone can do it!”
Harold laughed triumphantly. “Honestly speaking, apart from the Diamond Suite that’s really out of my reach, other suites are a piece of cake.” Despite his pompous statement, it was nothing but Harold’s bragging. Truth be told, in order to make a reservation for the Golden Suite, Lady Wilson herself had requested a lot of favors from many people to book it.
Loreen had heard about Heaven Springs even in Eastcliff. She hurriedly said, “We’re all friends, you don’t have to make such extravagant arrangements just for me.”
Harold uttered coyly, “Oh no, you are our distinguished guest, how could I treat you like an ordinary friend?” He then turned to Charlie and asked, “Hey, I wonder which restaurant you booked?”
Charlie said flatly, “Well, what a coincidence, I made a reservation at Heaven Springs too.”
“Hahaha!”‘ Harold laughed out loud. “Charlie, aren’t you worried about choking yourself for bragging so senselessly? I doubt you can even book the lowest suite at Heaven Springs with your status! Please stop your nonsense here!”
Charlie smiled indifferently. “Even if I’m bragging, what does it have to do with you? I’m not inviting you to dinner, why do you worry so much about me?”
Harold snarled in disdain, “Huh! I don’t think you can even walk through the door!”
Loreen who witnessed the whole scene couldn’t bear to see Charlie being targeted. She was aware of Charlie’s status in the Wilson family, he was financially and emotionally discriminated against in the family due to his status. It was quite unrealistic for him to book a suite at the top restaurant in town for her sake. She figured that Charlie had deliberately told the lie because he wanted to defend his dignity and she didn’t want him to be too embarrassed so she quickly said, “Hey, let’s just stop the argument, shall we? Since both of you have made the reservation at the same place, why don’t we go there together?”
Harold glared at Charlie and huffed, “Alright, for Loreen’s sake, I’ll let you have a free meal today and let you see what a high-end restaurant looks like!”
Charlie simply smirked and ignored his sarcastic remark. The infamous Don Albert would kneel down when he saw him, what kind of amazing effect would his restaurant give him anyway? It’s a pity that the snobbish Harold was blinded by his cockiness!

Heaven Springs was a quaint and classic European-style restaurant. The interior decoration and design were full of exquisite classical charm and exclusively expensive, and even the signboard at the door was made of high-quality yellow rosewood. Charlie couldn’t help but gape in marvel as he looked at the decorations in the restaurant. He didn’t expect to see such luxurious settings and ambiance in Albert’s restaurant and he contemplated bringing Claire to try it out one day.
Loreen looked around and exclaimed, “I’ve heard about Heaven Springs back in Eastcliff, and sure enough, it lives up to its reputation.”
Harold said with a smile, “Loreen, I have to bring you to the best place for your visit here, of course.” Then, he glanced at Charlie mockingly. “Unlike someone here. If not for your sake, he’d probably never have the chance to visit such an upscale restaurant in his entire lifetime.”
