Chapter 133 Go Ahead and Call the Police Then
Even if she had the intention, they shouldn’t have booked an entire floor and partied in her absence. Obviously, they disrespected Cherise and merely deemed her as an ATM.
Cherise inhaled deeply and turned to look at the receptionist. “How much did they spend?”
“Eight hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred.”
“What will happen if I don’t pay the bill?”
The receptionist smiled faintly. “We’ll call the police to arrest these freeloaders. Once their parents settle the bill, we’ll release them.”
Cherise wore a calm smile. “Go ahead and call the police then.”
At once, the room fell silent. The music stopped, and her cla*smates ceased singing and dancing. Even some who were half-drunk suddenly sobered up and looked toward Cherise.
The receptionist thought she heard Cherise wrongly. “Ms. Shaw, are you sure you won’t pay the bill for your cla*smates?”
“Yes.” Cherise answered firmly, leaving the crowd flabbergasted.
Sunny stared at Cherise in disbelief. “Cherry, why? You promised to….”
“Indeed. I promised to buy you guys a meal, but not at this kind of place.”
Sunny knitted his brows and was displeased. “But I’ve told you this afternoon that we’re coming to Viopril Palace, and you agreed!”
Cherise smirked. “Sunny, you were clearly taking advantage of me being an outstation student who didn’t know what kind of place Viopril Palace really is.” She carefully recalled. the scene that afternoon. “When you mentioned this venue, I agreed. Then, all of you left immediately. Actually, you guys were not going off for other matters, but you were just worried I would find out what this place is like, right?”
Once serious, Cherise displayed an extraordinarily calm mind, which helped her score full marks in exams. “Since I’m the one treating, the budget should be determined by me. In other words, even if I were to treat everyone to dinner here tonight, the type of food ordered and private room booked should be at my discretion.”
She walked slowly to the table where only remnants of food were left. “You guys have finished eating. As the host tonight, I haven’t eaten at all. I don’t think I have the obligation
1/2
to settle the bill for you.”
With that, she took a deep breath and led Lucy away. The truth was that before she entered the room, she was still thinking about how to pay the bill tonight because she couldn’t bear to see her cla*smates detained. However, she changed her mind after coming in.
None of the twenty-eight people present cared if she would come to eat but only wanted. her to settle the bill for them. But alas, she wasn’t a pushover.
Her cla*smates instantly panicked.
“You can’t do this to us, Cherise!”
“Now, you’re the rich*st person in the cla*s. We’ve already finished the food. What are we gonna do if you don’t pay……”
“Yeah. My family is very poor. Even if we divide the bill, it’ll still be tens of thousands for each person. My family can’t afford it..
“Cherry, you shouldn’t be ungrateful. When you had difficulties, we crowdfunded to help you, but now…”
Just then, someone brought up the crowdfunding for Cherise’s grandmother. And so, they found a reason for her to foot the bill.
“Cherry, we are cla*smates. We should help each other!”
“Cherry, we helped you when you were in hard times. Now that you become rich, can’t forget us…”
