“How much is it?" asked Sheffield casually.

Tobias looked at it.

"499, 236," he recited.

Sheffield held out his hand.

"Let me see that."

Tobias gave him the bill and thought, ‘Evelyn has definitely gotten even with Sheffield this time.' So Duran and Maddock had screwed him over.

The bill clearly showed the details. The Liquor was Limited edition by a Liquor group, produced a few years ago. It cost more than $20, 000 a bottle. They ordered seven of them.

The red tea was $1, 888 a pot. The champagne was $5, 600 a bottle, and they bought three of those.

The rest of the damage was for the meal.

Some of the dishes were charged by the person. The cheapest dish,

Alaska King Crab, was $3, 80 per person, the fish maw with abalone sauce $5, 800 per person, black caviar and red caviar $8, 000 per person. There were eight people at the table. They had ordered more than 4 kg of braised whelk meat. It cost over $4, 000 per kilogram.

Yet those dishes weren't even the most expensive ones. The most expensive one was the abalones sent from Japan by air that morning. A two-abalone share was priced at $9, 800. They had ordered eight. The crocodile paw with white truffles cost $99, 000.

Coupled with the packs of cigarettes, snacks, and service fees, the total came to almost $500, 000.

Sheffield casually put his tie on his shoulder, and calmly took out a black card from his wallet. He handed the card to Tobias and said,

“That's okay. I got this."

And Evelyn got him good, by making him responsible for the bill. But he owed her anyway for ruining her cheongsam.

After settling up with the cashier, Tobias gave the card back to him.

“Mr. Sheffield, don't let your father see the bill. He'll get upset."

The most expensive meal Peterson had ever paid for was under three hundred thousand, but Sheffield had broken that record just a few days after he became the CEO.

Luckily, he had decided to pay for it himself. Otherwise, he might be called before the board of directors to account for the cost.

"Wow, the old man is stingy! He has been making money his whole life.

He has more money than he could ever spend, but he still gets ticked at a small amount like this. What's money good for if he doesn't spend it?

You can't take it with you!"

Tobias was dumbstruck by Sheffield's bluntness. But this newest CEO always spoke his mind.

In the parking lot, Sheffield paused in front of the car for a couple seconds.
