Chapter 187

"Some people just bite off more than they canchew," Matthias sneered."But they're so clueless that they don't even know they were never meant to catch up to others' success."

Robert ignored Matthias and Timmy as he reached out to summon the waiter."Could you bring me some barbecue sauce, please?"

"Sorry, sir. I'm afraid we don't providebarbecue sauce here," the waiter said, bowing slightly in apology.

"Haha!" Timmy burst out laughing. "Youbumpkin! Why would a high-end restaurant like this one have barbecue sauce?"

Winston shook his head as he looked at Robert in contempt."In our country, uncultured people such as yourself have no right to dine in such fine places."

"No," Robert said with a slight shake of hishead."I'm pretty sure they have barbecue sauce here."

With that, Robert fished out his phone and sent a message to someone.

"Quit with the act, will you? Who do you thinkyou are to put on airs here?" Matthias did not

bother with decorum at all as he continued mockingly, "If you're going to ask for barbecue sauce here, you might as well leave and head to a fast food shack or something. I'm sure they have your barbecue sauce there!"

"There's no need to argue with a fool like him,"Timmy chimed in as he raised his wine glass in Winston's direction. "Mr. Lennon,I'll sign the contract and transfer the money to your account after I finish this wine. I look forward to our collaboration."

Suzy was stunned."Timmy, are you really going to sign the contract this soon? There's still a ton of details to go over, and..."

"It's fine," Timmy cut her off, shaking his head."The few millions of dollars we spend on thisdeal is nothing, and I'm sure Mr. Lennon is bred better than to defraud us. We're not as persnickety as someone who would make a fuss over minor details. It's no wonder that person isn't getting anywhere in life!"

"Timmy, that's enough!" Naomi snapped."Don't forget that you're from Clusians, too!"

"Naomi, you don't have to speak up forsomeone like him. I mean, you saw how he behaved, too, right? He was kicking up a fuss over tiny details in the contract, but he couldn't even eat his steak without barbecue

sauce. You'll only make yourself look bad by hanging out with his kind," Timmy retorted as he threw back his wine.

At that moment, Winston produced the contract with a smile and set it down in front of Timmy.

Without even looking through the contract, Timmy signed his name and said,"Mr. Lennon, give me your bank details and I'll have my subordinates transfer you the money."

"You're a businessman who's worth his salt,Timmy," Winston praised wholeheartedly as he gave Timmy the bank details.

It wasn't long before Timmy completed the transfer and concluded the business deal with a flourish.

To one side, Matthias gave Suzy an earnest look as he said,"We should sign the contract, too!"

Suzy pointed out uneasily,"But there are still a couple of details we need to go over."

"Oh, forget about all that. It's not as if we don'thave the money for the deal, anyway. Come on, let's just sign the contract. Once we're done here, I'll head over to your place and ask for your hand in marriage! Your dad's always

talking about how I'm good for nothing, but this ought to shut him up!" Matthias said confidently.

Suzy looked to Naomi for help. "Naomi, what do you think?"

"I say forget it," Naomi answered bluntly. Sheshook her head in disapproval and elaborated, "I have no interest in doing business with thisman from Atharians after hearing what he said."

Shrinking into her seat, Suzy turned to address Matthias,"Well, if Naomi isn't signing the contract, then I won't..."

"What are you saying?" Matthias wasimmediately annoyed."This is a money move right here, and you won't do it? Don't you trust me and Mr. Lennon?"

"I..." Suzy faltered. She had been quiet for themost part of the meal, but frankly, she found Winston's arrogant demeanor rather unsettling and off-putting.
