Chapter 1227

Anthony took Eugenie to a famous restaurant in Richworth. From the moment Eugenie entered, her eyes kept wandering around. This place was truly luxurious. All the waitstaff were handsome and beautiful, and even the pillars in the hall were gilded. "Anthony." Eugenie pulled Anthony's sleeve to confirm several times. "Are you sure you want to treat me here? To be clear, I don't have money. If you're thinking of not picking up the tab later…" Anthony looked at Eugenie indifferently, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain. "Don't worry, just enjoy your meal. I won't make you pay." He was a gold card member here. There was still plenty of money left on his prepaid membership card, enough for her to eat to her heart's content. "Good." The waiter led Anthony and Eugenie to a private room and handed them the menu. Anthony directly handed the menu to Eugenie. "Order whatever you want. Don't hesitate." Eugenie opened the menu and looked at it; her mouth was watering. "You said it so that I won't hold back." After saying that, Eugenie waved her hand and ordered several dishes that looked delicious from the pictures. Anthony watched Eugenie order, took out his phone, and sent a message to Wilbur. [Eugenie and I are dining out. We'll be back a bit later. What would you like for takeout?] After sending the message, Anthony thought momentarily. Worried that Wilbur might not believe him, he took a picture of Eugenie. The sound of the camera shutter startled Eugenie, and she instinctively raised her hand to cover her face. "What are you doing?!" Anthony shook his phone and said, "I'm taking a picture to send to Wilbur, letting him know we're eating together." "Do you need to report every time we have a meal? Are you that afraid of Uncle Wilbur?" Anthony glanced at Eugenie and did not say anything. Eugenie finished ordering and handed the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, she looked at Anthony with a sly smile. "Anthony, does Uncle Wilbur have something on you? Is that why you're so afraid of him?" Anthony's eyes flickered for a moment, his expression turning cold. After a while, in response to Eugenie's curious gaze, he said, "You can take a guess." Eugenie had no interest in guessing at all. Soon, the dishes they ordered arrived. Eugenie could not wait to dig in and forgot about everything else, focusing all her attention on the delicious food. Anthony casually took a few bites and made an excuse to leave. "I'm going to the restroom. You enjoy your meal." As soon as he stood up, Eugenie nervously stopped him. "Anthony, you're not planning to run away, are you? I don't have money!" Anthony was speechless. "Just focus on eating your food; I'll return in a moment." "Alright." Anthony left the private room and went to the restroom. He locked the restroom door from the inside and took out his phone, dialing a number. The phone rang for a long time before the other person answered. "Who is this?" A man's arrogant voice came from the phone. Anthony's lips curled up in a wicked smile, and he spoke slowly, "Mr. Rory Hammond, I think you and I can make a deal." … Inside the private room, Eugenie had eaten her fill and checked the time on her phone. Anthony had been gone for almost half an hour. Why had he not returned yet? Could he have run away? Just as Eugenie was about to go out and check, the door to the private room pushed open. Anthony walked in. Eugenie heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought you had run away." Anthony nodded slightly, looking like he was in a good mood. "Full now?" "Yeah." "Let's go." "Aren't you going to eat?" Eugenie pointed to his plate, which he had hardly touched. "I'm not hungry anymore." Anthony led Eugenie out of the private room, paid the bill, and returned to the hotel together.
