Eunice chuckled, her laughter carrying an air of satisfaction.
Just moments ago, she had heard from the manager how her niece, fiesty as ever, had pinned
someone down on a table and poured two bottles of red wine right over their face.
“That's my girl’ Eunice proudly proclaimed. "She needs to learn not to mess with you again!"
As she spoke, Eunice cast a chilly glance at the manager beside her. "Since my niece is letting it slide,
shouldn't you and your staff be making yourselves scarce?"
“Thank you, Mrs. Griffith, and Ms. Bella, for your graciousness. We'll put this behind us. I assure you
that I'll tighten up our management so nothing like this occurs again. Your meals have been replaced,
please enjoy at your leisure. Tonight's dinner is on the house, and from now on, Mrs. Griffith and Ms.
Bella, you will receive a fifty-percent discount whenever you dine with us."
The restaurant manager bowed deeply before making his exit.
“Bella, you haven't eaten much waiting for me, have you?” Eunice said as she picked up the fork to
plate some food for Bella. "Eat up, darling. It's the first time I have taken you out for a meal, and I won't
have you going hungry."
Meanwhile, outside.
Serena stormed out of the restaurant, fuming, and stood by the garden waiting for Martin's chauffeur to
pick her up.
"How many minutes has it been now? I have to wait? You've got five more minutes, buddy. If I don't see
you in five, you can kiss your job goodbye. I'll have Martin fire you on the spot!"
She ended the call, seething. The damned traffic - even with snow, how long could it really be?
There she was, shivering in her wet clothes, teeth chattering as the snow fell like feathers around her,
the cold seeping into her very bones.
The worst part? Her clothes were soaked, and the wind only made her shiver more violently.
As she cursed Arabella to high heaven in her head, suddenly, a sack was thrown over her head, and
she was dragged into a nearby alley.
"who are you? What do you want with me? Did Arabella send you? Let me go! Do you have any idea
who I am?
Crossing me will not end well for you!"
Leno, a man Eunice had acquired through Alexander, signaled to his men. He didn't know Serena's
identity or her connection to Bard. He only knew she had offended Mrs. Griffith and needed to be
taught a lesson.
Initially defiant, Serena soon broke down into sobs, pleading for mercy after a thorough beating.
"Please, no more. Who sent you? How much did they pay you? I'll double it, no, ten times that!"
She shielded her face, desperate, and even tried pleading.
Leno was momentarily speechless at her antics.
Back inside the restaurant.
Eunice and Arabella were all smiles and laughter when a manager approached with a report. "Mrs.
Griffith, someone's here to see you. They say it's urgent."
Eunice glanced at her associate in the distance and commanded with an air of authority, “Let him in."
“Yes, ma'am,’ Mr. Morrison gestured, and the staff promptly stepped aside.
Her subordinate hurried over and bowed deeply before Eunice.
“To witness your return with my own eyes, Mrs. Griffith, is a profound joy.’ His voice was thick with
emotion.
“Alright, cut the drama. What's the news?" Eunice was known for her straightforwardness.
Seeing her there, as stunning and commanding as ever with her curled hair and perfect makeup, he
was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.
