GoodReadScarlett couldn't help laughing. Libby had behaved arrogantly. But her face hardened when she heard Scarlett's laughter. "Why are you laughing?" "Nothing. You're so kind. Thank you." Scarlett took the menu. "You're right. | really haven't tried the dishes here. These dishes look good. You won't mind if | order a few more dishes, will you?” Libby sneered. "Not at all. I'm not short of money." Then she looked at Tiffany. "Tiffany and | are tired of the dishes here. Don't care about us. Just order what you like." Scarlett looked up at them and answered, "Then I'll order what | like." Tiffany snorted. "Just help yourself. Libby is very generous. After all, you are Raymond's wife, my sister-i n-law.

"Ms. Reed, have you chosen what you want? Need | ask a waiter to introduce the dishes to you? After all, it's your first tto eat here. The dishes are various." Libby pretended to be kind. But she and Tiffany looked at Scarlett with disdain.
"No need. There is an introduction on the menu." At this time, the waiter cin. Scarlett turned the menu to the first page. "lI want a braised beef tongue i n red wine sauce, grilled tuna steak, roast lamb chop with cheese, pork loin with apples and beef fillet mignons with pepper sauce." Scarlett ordered five dishes, none of which were cheap.
Libby and Tiffany looked at each other and they both held Scarlett in contempt.

Then she glanced at Libby and Tiffany and asked, "Do you want anything else?" Tiffany pointed at the menu. "Add one more of this." Libby also added a dish. Just when she thought Scarlett had finished ordering, Scarlett said again, "By the way, | have sfriends who haven't had lunch. It's really not easy to taste the dishes of the Gold Sun Restaurant. Do you mind if | order smore dishes and take them away later for my friends?" Libby almost wanted to roll her eyes at Scarlett. "Not a t all. You and your friends have never tried these dishes, right? It's a rare opportunity. You really should seize it." Scarlett smiled. "Thank you, Miss Jones." Then Scarlett beckoned to the waiter and said, "Please helppack these three dishes and this soup. By the way, | need fifty such packs. Put them in the trunk of my car. Here is the car key." The waiter was surprised. "Miss, will this be a little too much?" "I have many friends." Libby and Tiffany had been chatting so they didn't know what Scarlett asked the waiter to pack.
After the waiter left the room, Libby began to talk about the vase. "Ms. Reed, | asked you to chere today mainly for the vase." Scarlett nodded. "I know. Is there anything that has not been solved?" "Scarlett, since you are Tiffany's ex-sister-in-law, | don’t blyou for having broken the antique vase. But | don't quite understand why you asked your secretary to cto my villa and compensatefor the vase with 30,000 dollars? What do you mean?" Scarlett took a sip of the coffee. The dishes were not very good but the coffee was wonderful. She raised her head and looked at Libby. "What do you think | mean?" "What do | think you mean? | think you mean to insult our family! Do you think our family lacks 30,000 dollars? The vase cost my dad more than 3 million. If you are unable to compensate, don’t compensate.
Don't you think it’s an insult by asking someone to give30,000?" "I don’t think so." Scarlett replied unhurriedly. She looked Libby in the eye. "I just give you the money that the vase is worth. Am | wrong?"
