Chapter 249: Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Some People Are Worse Than Dogs “Oh wow. That’s fantastic!”

Upon hearing her words, Haleigh’s face instantly blossomed into a joyful smile.

Jacquelyn smiled casually as she finished ordering and handed over the menu. “I’ve made my choices, Mrs. Delacruz. Take a look and see what you’d like to eat.”

Haleigh flipped through the menu at Deli Restaurant, which featured elegant and traditional dishes in their country. Having never been here before, she found it difficult to understand the dish names.

She furrowed her brow. “What kind of dish names are these... Never mind, waitress!”

A young girl dressed in a gown approached and asked, “Hello, ma’am. How may I assist you?”

Haleigh didn’t even lift her eyelids, tossing the menu aside. “It’s my first time. at your place. I’m not too familiar with it. Explain it to me.”

“All right.”

The waitress smiled as she went through the menu, explaining each dish. “This Golden Surprise is made with chicken meat rolled into balls, then slowly stewed with mushrooms, broccoli, and potatoes. Cassoulet is a delicious combination of high-quality white beans and duck meat, slowly cooked in a slow cooker. It’s perfect for this kind of weather.”

Her fingertip moved to the second line. “Next up is our signature dish. This Fair Temptation is personally prepared by our chef, who we specially invited from Utah. It’s excellent for nourishing the blood and maintaining good health.

This is seafood chowder, made with air-shipped wild sea cucumber and drizzled with abalone sauce that’s been simmered overnight. The taste is so amazing. I guarantee you’ll want to have it again after trying it just once!”

Fair Temptation is a dish of abalone and sea cucumber!

The waitress described the dishes vividly, and Haleigh was almost drooling as she listened. However, upon seeing the prices, her face changed.

Isn’t this plain robbery?

The signature dish actually costs more than 3,000 dollars!

Originally, this amount of money didn’t mean much to her, but due to previous events, her unlimited bank card had been suspended by Gavyn.

The savings card Haleigh could use now had only around 1,500 dollars left. If she were to order everything at the highest standard, it wouldn’t even be enough for one meal.

Wouldn’t that just make Jacquelyn laugh her head off!

Haleigh frowned, pretending to be uninterested and looked away. “Hmm... I don’t think these dishes are suitable. Can you recommend some others?”

The waitress chuckled and said, “All right. Please take a look at this page-”

Before the words were even finished, a woman’s scolding voice rang out.

“What are you laughing at?”

The waitress was taken aback. “Ma’am, I was just being polite...”

“You just sneered a moment ago!”

Haleigh glared angrily. Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed as if she wanted to swallow the waitress whole. “What I order is my own business. Who do you think you are, a mere waitress, daring to laugh at me?

Do you think I can’t afford it?”

Her weak self-esteem was triggered at this moment, especially since it was in front of her future daughter-in-law, Haleigh was furious.

The waitress repeatedly waved his hands to explain, “I didn’t mean that. I wasn’t laughing at you just now...”

Haleigh slammed the table angrily and said in a stern voice, “How dare you argue back to me! Where is your manager? Call your manager over. I want to file a complaint against you!”

Upon witnessing such a scene, the young girl was terrified and quickly apologized, “I’m so sorry, ma’am. I truly didn’t mean to offend you. Please accept my apology, and don’t report me to our manager...”

The young girl had never seen customers as tricky and overbearing as Haleigh. Instinctively, she turned her gaze toward Jacquelyn, who seemed to be more reasonable.

However, Jacquelyn just watched all this with a smile, completely ignoring the waitress’ embarrassment and predicament.

“Mrs. Delacruz, don’t let such a small matter upset you.”

Haleigh was not about to let her off the hook easily. Her eyes narrowed like sharp knives, as if she wanted to gouge them into the waitress. “Is that supposed to be an apology? Is there any sincerity in it? Give me a 90-degree bow! As someone in this line of work, how can you not have this basic awareness!”

When she said “someone in this line of work,” her tone was filled with contempt.

The young girl had never experienced such humiliation before. However, the customer was always right, and if she were to receive a complaint, it would affect her sales.

Gritting her teeth, she held back the tears in her eyes and lowered her head.

“Right. I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Please don’t be angry anymore...”

As she spoke, she humbly lowered herself.

Just as the young girl had resigned herself to humiliation that day, an indifferent and clear voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her bowing motion.

“Stand up straight. You don’t need to apologize!”

Several people turned their heads to look.

There stood a woman, dressed in a light purple gown with white-trimmed fur collar, her hair neatly coiled and adorned with hairpins. She gazed solemnly and indifferently at Haleigh.

The entire person exuded an aura as if a queen had arrived!

It was extremely dominant.

Harry went to park the car, while Aylin came up first.

Who would have expected that upon entering, she would witness such a scene?

She walked over, assertively shielding the waitress behind her.

Upon seeing the young girl, Aylin’s eyes lit up. She gave her a subtle signal, and the girl immediately understood.

Just as the girl was about to speak, she closed her mouth again.

Jacquelyn had no fondness for this beautiful yet meddlesome woman.

Thus, she furrowed her eyebrows.

Upon seeing Aylin appear, Haleigh’s gaze momentarily froze before her entire expression darkened. “How did you end up here?”

‘I came because I saw injustice.”

Upon hearing this, Haleigh’s face couldn’t have looked more displeased. “This waitress’ service is simply inattentive! Even if I find the manager, I still have something to say!”

“Unsatisfactory service?”

Aylin protected the waitress and glanced at her lightly. “Some people who are poor tend to be sensitive and suspicious. They think they’re being laughed at by any little action of others.”

“You!”

Haleigh immediately flew into a rage when her pain was pointed out by Aylin.

“You despicable woman! What nonsense are you talking about! Can you even estimate how much wealth the Delacruz family has, you shallow-minded thing!”

Haleigh clenched her teeth in anger, finding Aylin’s outfit utterly distasteful.

She sneered. “So now you’ve climbed up the social ladder by hooking up with some wild man, you’ve been dressing indecently every day. Who knows where all that money of yours even comes from!

Don’t think that changing your appearance will suddenly make you into someone different!

At first, when you leeched onto my son and started doing laundry and cooking in our house, even a third-class housekeeper was more noble than you. I’ve always looked down on you as a cheap, clingy bargain!

Why are you causing such a big fuss now? Aren’t you still just serving me coffee and pouring water for me?”

Aylin could be indifferent about everything else, but it was the pain and repression of those three years that she couldn’t let go.

Haleigh, with her malicious heart, not only felt no guilt but also used this as a weapon to hurt others.

Aylin’s face suddenly turned serious.

“What are you looking at? Did I hit the nail on the head? Hmph!” Haleigh persisted relentlessly.

Jacquelyn was taken aback, listening intently at the side.

She looked at Aylin in disbelief!

Haleigh said that the woman once married his son was someone of a way lower status. Does that mean the woman standing before us is Gavyn’s ex-wife?

What?

This doesn’t match the rumors at all!

Wasn’t it said that Gavyn’s ex-wife was ugly, vulgar, ill-mannered, and an annoying country bumpkin? Even though Jacquelyn greatly disliked the woman’s pretentiousness and affectation, she had to admit that Aylin’s face was stunningly beautiful and beyond compare.

Jacquelyn herself would be captivated by the sight, let alone Gavyn or other men.

At this thought, the flames of jealousy burned fiercely.

Jacquelyn’s hostility toward Aylin instantly reached its peak!

She stared intently at Aylin’s beautiful and fair face. Since she could get divorced, there must be some flaw that even her beauty couldn’t make up for.

It seems she’s an illiterate vixen who hasn’t read a single book, relying solely on her good looks to seduce men everywhere!

The waitress was shocked by Haleigh’s vicious remark and took a while to recover. So, Ms. Koch is divorced?

But this mother-in-law is way too malicious!

The young girl, feeling indignant, rolled up her sleeves and was determined to help Aylin settle the score.

Aylin gently held her.

“Haleigh.

Aylin slightly lifted her chin, her stunningly beautiful and cold face showing not the slightest hint of embarrassment.

“You know what? These past three years have taught me something about people. Some of them are less reliable than dogs.

When I feed a dog, it wags its tail at me, but some people, they just chase after me and bite me relentlessly, worse than any dog.
