Chapter 285: I Treat You to a Meal? Do You Even Deserve It?

Hearing Alice's words, Ashley was so angry that she laughed.

She had never seen such a shameless old lady before; it completely shattered her understanding of decency.

"Me treat you to a meal? You wish!"

Ashley raised an eyebrow, truly amazed.

She had seen shameless people before, but never to this extent, and now she was seeing three at once!

Truly, like mother, like daughter!

And they wanted her to cook for them?

If it weren't for her years of self-restraint, she would have cursed out loud right then.

"What are you getting so mad about? Weren't we just fine a moment ago? How can you turn hostile so quickly? If you can't afford to treat me to a meal, just put it on Luna's tab, and I'll have her transfer the money to you later.

But let me give you some advice: you're bringing a wife into the family, and wives bring wealth. If you're this stingy, you'll block your fortune and end up losing money and suffering!"

Seeing Ashley so uncooperative, Alice started cursing her.

The Lee family maid, Amelia, was so angry that she started rolling up her sleeves.

Just then, James and Olivia arrived with four Lee family bodyguards.

Charles was still in a meeting in a neighboring city and wouldn't be able to get there for at least two hours. Since James and Olivia were sketching nearby, Charles, wanting to give them some experience, had them bring a few bodyguards to handle the situation.

Seeing so many people from the Lee family arrive, all with unfriendly expressions, Alice immediately sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing.

"Oh, heavens! Open your eyes! Stand up for this old lady! The Lee family is bullying me too much. It's not easy raising a granddaughter, and they want to take her without paying a single penny in bride price!

They clearly have money but won't give any, bullying an old lady like me! My granddaughter is a virgin! Where in the world is there such a good deal?"

The more Alice spoke, the more outrageous she became, causing James and Olivia's faces to change.

They had both met Luna and liked her and Eric very much.

Because Luna was the only one who could make Charles gentle, they didn't want to lose her. Otherwise, they would have to face the cold and lifeless Charles again.

James: "Don't think that just because you're an old lady, we can't do anything to you! If you keep spouting nonsense, we have lawyers, and you'll be receiving a lawyer's letter! When we get to court, let's see if you can throw a tantrum in front of the judge!"

Olivia: "Luna and Charles are so in love, and we all like her very much. If Luna likes something, we would give it to her! But we would never give anything to a malicious and greedy old witch like you!"

James and Olivia were only seventeen or eighteen, just a year or two older than Eric. Their voices still had a hint of childishness, but their demeanor was calm and composed. They wouldn't let Alice catch them saying anything wrong, nor would they let her off easily.

Seeing herself being lectured by teenagers, Alice was so angry that she tried to headbutt them, but she ended up headbutting Amelia's stomach instead. Amelia, who had taken a step forward, used her stomach to push Alice back, causing her to fall to the ground in a sorry state.

"Everyone saw that she came at me herself. My stomach hurts now, and I'm going to sue her for intentional bodily harm!"

Amelia patted her stomach loudly. She had trained in martial arts when she was younger and could take down ten people like Alice at once!

Alice initially wanted to cry out in pain, but before she could, the other side had already blocked her path.

Alice immediately looked at Ella, signaling her to step in. No matter what, they couldn't leave empty-handed today!
