His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 701

"Please, miss, don't make it hard for me. I think the dish you ordered has already been served to another table. How about we give you double the money back? Would that work for you?" The waiter looked on the verge of tears, as if dealing with a major injustice. But really, it was the restaurant's fault.

"Is this just about refunding money?" Chelsea slammed her fork down on the table. "Get your manager over here. Either bring our dish back or make a new one. A refund is not happening."

The waiter scurried off, and the manager soon appeared, apologizing as he entered. "I'm so sorry, ladies. Unfortunately, we're out of that dish. How about we offer you something else with a 50% discount?"

Chelsea wasn't having it. She stood up, clearly annoyed. "Manager, is this just about money? Is that all your restaurant can do to fix things? I need that dish today. Which table took our order? I'm going to get it back myself."

"That might not be a great idea," the manager tried to dissuade her.

But Chelsea's determined look made him point nervously to a nearby table. "The guests over there."

Chelsea marched over, ready to set things right. She pushed open the door and froze at the sight.

Eliza rushed in after her, also caught off guard.

Casper, Dillon, Allysha, and Kate were seated there. Eliza recognized them all.

The "Eight Delights Harmony" dish was sitting right in the middle of their table.

"The dish is here alright." Chelsea turned to Eliza, pointing sarcastically at the dish. "Isn't this just using power to bully? Is this how rich folks and celebrities act?"

Eliza's expression turned icy, colder than a winter chill. "Who took our dish?"

Back in their private room, Chelsea had lost all interest in the "Eight Delights Harmony."

She picked up on the subtle tension between Eliza and Casper. "Why didn't Casper say anything just now? It's like he wasn't involved. Did you even know he was here?"

"I didn't," Eliza shook her head.

"Are you guys fighting again? Who was that woman?"

"She's Kate, a homewrecker. Renee's husband is leaving her because of Kate."
