Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1321

It was a silent admission to Cecilia’s question.

Noel was indeed the boss of this restaurant.

Cecilia nodded. “It’s probably him.”

Now that she thought about it, what she said to Noel earlier along the corridor probably sounded like a joke to him.

“How evil could he be?” Cecilia snarled, angrier than she was before.

Even her heart was thumping madly, rising to her throat. She felt embarrassed, amidst mixed feelings.

Diana became increasingly confused. “How is he cruel? Did your chat with Noel not go well? You didn’t reconcile with him?”

Cecilia sneered, then looked at Fanny. “You’re more familiar with business. How much money do you think is needed to open a restaurant like this?”

“From investment to promotion, which is akin to going from zero to one, which includes rent, renovation, various materials and prepayment of labor, it’s around 1.5 million.”

1.5 million.

What a familiar figure.

Cecilia turned to look at Diana.

“He took 1.5 million from my family to invest in opening this restaurant. Isn’t that cruel enough?

He’s clearly the boss of this restaurant, but he remained silent when I told him that the manager knows me but not him. He must have been mocking me in his heart. Isn’t that cruel enough?!”

Diana didn’t quite understand Cecilia. “Noel took 1.5 million from your family to open a restaurant?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

The sound of it alone seemed far-fetched.

Diana tried explaining things to Cecilia.

“Noel’s annual salary is pretty high. He’s no billionaire, but having worked for so many years for Julian, it’s not impossible for him to have a few millions in liquid cash. There’s no need for him to take money from your family. Is there some misunderstanding somewhere?”

“Not at all!” Cecilia denied instantly. “My mom told me herself. Noel took the check for 1.5 million to break up with me. When I said this to him, he didn’t deny it.”

She looked at the money that the manager sent on a tray. “Does rejecting this bit of money while taking that 1.5 million earn him his so-called dignity?”

What a joke!

The moment he took that 1.5 million, he had no dignity to speak of whatsoever!

Diana still thought there must be a misunderstanding somewhere.

However, the look of certainty on Cecilia’s face prevented her from saying any further. She could only urge everyone to eat and not be angry.

Fanny saw the dark look in Cecilia’s face, and knew that she was still fuming mad.

“Today’s only the first time we’ve met, but I really like you,” Fanny said, patting the bag Cecilia gave her. “I’ll definitely carry this often. I’ll also invite you to visit my production team at our filming site next time. Please come.”

She grabbed Cecilia’s hand, and placed it on the glass. “Have a drink, and eat some salmon. I heard foie gras, salmon, and caviar taste great when paired with sweet prawns.”

Eating and filling one’s stomach would make one feel better.

“You can’t eat that.” Diana stopped Fanny from taking the salmon, looking at her stomach. “If you’re really pregnant, eating raw fish might cause a parasitic infection. That would be terrible to the fetus.”

Fanny’s heart shook. “Do you have to watch out for so much when pregnant?”

Diana glanced at her. “What else did you expect? Do you really think it’s easy for a baby to grow in your womb?

“Not just pregnancy! Don’t underestimate childbirth and think it’s easy, just because many women go through that. In fact, it hurts badly.
