The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 954



Chapter 954: 455 Honor_1 Chapter 954: 455 Honor_1 “We’ve got a big customer today, all of you sharpen up.”

Upon entering the kitchen, Matilda Wilson saw the head chef dozing off and the helping chef playing a card game, which made her blood boil.

“What big customer can we expect in this shit-hole town of ours?” the helper chef took a drag at his cigarette, squinting his eyes.

Matilda Wilson hurled her dishcloth at him, stormed over, and pinched his ear, “No smoking!

No smoking!

Are you looking for death?

Smoke again and you’re out of here.”

“Ouch, Auntie, it hurts!”

“Behave yourself!

Smoke again and I’ll smack you dead.

...

Get cooking.

Here’s the menu, they’re waiting for the dishes.

Do a good job and don’t mess up or you’ll wish I hadn’t.”

The helper chef was her good-for-nothing nephew.

After wandering around in the city, he returned covered in bruises and debt.

She had no choice but to take care of him out of respect for her deceased elder brother.

Norman Capris crushed his cigarette, “Don’t worry, Auntie.”

Matilda Wilson swirled around and walked out of the kitchen, yelling, “Clydie, Clydie…?”

The head chef, the actual restaurant owner, was a hefty man of more than two hundred pounds.

He skillfully turned the stove on, glanced at the menu, and told Norman Capris without looking up, “Go and kill a fish, pick the fattest and biggest one.”

They had a big tank in the backyard filled with fresh fish brought by the fishermen every morning.

Norman Capris simply responded with an “oh” and walked out of the kitchen in his slippers.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He quietly walked over and tapped the girl on the shoulder.

Startled, the girl turned around.

Seeing it was him, her face fell immediately.

“What do you want?”

“Clydie, what did Auntie want you for?”

“Ain’t none of your business.” Clydie turned and walked away.

Norman Capris noticed the tea tray in her hand and exclaimed, “Woah, Auntie brought out her precious Xin Yang Mao Jian tea.

Looks like we really do have a big shot here.”

“That’s nothing, she even brought out the Liquor she was saving for Lan’s wedding.” Clydie rolled her eyes and headed upstairs.

Seeing this, Norman Capris’ eyes darted around.

Then he heard the head chef’s loud voice coming from the kitchen, “Where is the lazy bum I asked to kill fish?”

He saw Matilda Wilson walk out of her bedroom, cradling the Liquor she cherished, her face beaming with delight.

“Norman Capris, if you don’t pay back what you owe, I’ll chop off your leg.”

Norman Capris was already numb to it.

“Chop it off if you dare.

I ain’t afraid of you.

I used to be with the Green Dragon Association.”

He quickly hung up the phone before his opponent could start swearing at him.

Looking toward the direction of the stairs, a cloud of darkness flashed in Norman Capris’ eyes.

He grabbed a live fish from the tank, brandished his knife, and in a few swift motions, chopped the fish into pieces.

“Screw it.

I’m all in.”

–

Clydie wondered what kind of big-shot customer could excite her aunt so much.

When she walked into the private room and saw the man sitting at the head of the table, she was so dazzled that she became speechless.

She was stunned, standing still on the spot, her mind completely blank.

The only thing playing in her head was the man’s handsome and elegant figure.

Because of this, she didn’t notice the slight surprise on the face of the only woman seated there when she saw her.

Madon Linggo was as composed as ever.

He had been through enough high-profile events to not be fazed by this.

He remembered clearly the fantastic scene at Granny Groove’s birthday banquet.

Xenia Groove’s aggressive approach was clear in his memory, she came with so-called witnesses to prove that Aubree Groove was a fake heir.

This young girl was one of Xenia Groove’s witnesses.

Turns out, she’s a local from Four Seasons Town.

Xenia Groove had carefully planned to trip Aubree Groove all at once, but things dramatically reversed.

Aubree Groove was the fake heiress of the Grooves, but also the true heiress of The Rintos.

With Agave Rinto’s definitive verdict, no one dared to question Aubree Groove’s identity anymore.

At the time, Aubree Groove’s philanthropic activities were thriving, and her reputation among the common folk was increasing.

Due to her sisterly relationship with Sanny Groove, it did not cause much controversy.

Upon recalling, all these events had only taken place less than a month ago.

That night, Clydie was so nervous and the lights were so bright, she didn’t have the chance or the energy to look at the guests at the banquet.

Therefore, she didn’t recognize the three people in the room who had been present at the banquet, which was like a nightmare for her.
