Chapter 452

Charlotte looked at the receipt in front of her, feeling troubled. In her heart, she had reached the peak of hatred for Sophie.

Charlotte instinctively scanned her surroundings and saw that her friends were all looking at her. If she didn't pay the bill now, she would lose face completely.

She took a deep breath and said to the waiter," These two bottles of wine are good, and I'm satisfied with the environment here. How about this? Take these two bottles of wine to my room and put the bill on my tab."

The waiter dipped his head slightly. " Sorry, madam. Our dining and accommodation departments are separate, and for such an arrangement, we require a signature."

Charlotte became furious upon hearing this." What do you mean by separate? Aren't they all part of your hotel? Let me tell you..."

" All right. Put the bill on my tab. No need to pay for it." Robert, who was sitting aside, suddenly stood up and spoke to the waiter.

The waiter had noticed Robert approaching

long ago, but since he hadn't said anything until then, the waiter didn't express any opinion.

Now that Robert spoke up, the waiter immediately responded respectfully, " Yes, Mr. Zabinski."

After the waiter finished speaking, he turned and left the private room.

Seeing that Robert casually took care of the14,000- dollar bill with just a few words, the people at the table couldn't help but look at him with surprise.

Shelby, who had been holding her breath, finally found a way to vent. She stared proudly at Sophie. " Well, you little brat. When someone treats you to a meal, you don't casually order wine worth a few thousand dollars. It's only because Robert is kind- hearted that he didn't make you pay for the meal! Who do you think you are, pretending like that? Robert is the chairman of Zabinski Group, with a net worth of billions of dollars. Yet, he is not as arrogant as you!"

After saying that, Shelby turned to Charlotte again." And you, a lowly person who looks down on others, don't think I don't know about you. Previously, when Xavier saw you, you were still working in a fast- food restaurant, right? You just

attached yourself to someone powerful, didn't you? What are you pretending for? And judging by your appearance, it seems like you didn't attach yourself to a particularly powerful person. Did you even put the bill on your tab just now? I be t you can't afford it! Investing billions of dollars? You are just a kid who doesn't even know what billions of dollars mean. Did you bother to find out who the chairman of Zabinski Group is before bragging? Please do some research next time before boasting!"

Shelby fired off her verbal attacks without pause, and Xavier couldn't even interrupt.

Sophie was a local of Yrinas and knew very well what Zabinski Group represented.

When she heard that the person she had been mocking turned out to be the chairman of Zabinski Group, she couldn't utter a word for a moment.

Her family had even talked about using connections to get her into Zabinski Group after she graduated."I haven't even graduated, yet I have already offended the chairman of Zabinski Group?" she thought.

Charlotte's face turned pale as well because Shelby's words hit the mark.

Billions of dollars indeed had nothing to do with Charlotte. She had just suddenly started living a better life and had been flaunting it, saying whatever came to mind without considering the consequences.

Charlotte looked around again and noticed that the way her friends looked at her had changed as if they were looking at a clown.

That kind of gaze made Charlotte extremely uncomfortable. She took a deep breath and looked at Robert." Robert, you' re doing well. You' ve even become the chairman of Zabinski Group. But is this woman speaking from your perspective? Since you' re the chairman of Zabinski Group, you should know that Perennial Financial Group is looking to invest, right? And let me tell you, I have some say in how Perennial Financial Group is going to invest. Believe it or not, with just a word from me, I can make sure that Zabinski Group will never get this investment."

In that instant, Charlotte saw herself as a business negotiator, facing Robert with arrogance, hoping that by showing such an attitude, she could salvage some of her dignity.
