Chapter 317 All Big Shots
Vanessa looked disdainful.
She knew Larry's capabilities very well.
Just a useless son-in-law, even the Lewis Family couldn't afford such an expensive gift, let alone the Lewis Family's son-in-law.
"Yes, it was indeed from me," Larry spoke calmly, then glanced at Xerxes beside him.
Xerxes stepped forward and said, "That's right, Mr. Bennett gave it. I can vouch for him."
Vanessa looked at Xerxes and saw that he was just a man with a scruffy beard, clearly not someone important. She sneered, "You vouch for him? What good is your word? Please, don't talk nonsense, okay?"
Xerxes was also very helpless.
How did giving a gift turn into such a big deal?
If he had known, he would have asked Yorick to stay a bit longer.
He looked at Larry, "Larry, this is a bit tricky. How about we wait a bit longer? When Yorick brings the guests over, I'll host a birthday party for Esmeralda here, which will also support your friend."
"Get out, my restaurant doesn't welcome you."
Vanessa told them to leave.
"And you, Sawyer, get out. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. The $500,000 you invested is compensation for my losses."
Sawyer was furious.
Larry grabbed him and said, "Don't say anything, let's go out first."
"But, Larry."
"Trust me."
"Okay."
Sawyer reluctantly followed Larry out.
Inside the restaurant, there was a burst of laughter.
"I really thought it was a gift from Larry to Sawyer, but it turns out it was just bragging."
"Yeah, showing off without considering the occasion."
Hearing these words, Sawyer's face turned dark and gloomy.
Outside the restaurant.
"Larry, you gave the gift, why are we leaving?" Sawyer looked at Larry, puzzled.
Larry waved his hand slightly, "No rush, let's wait a bit. We don't have any evidence now, and we can't explain it clearly. When the person who gave the gift returns, we'll go back in, and there will be no need for more words."
"Okay." Sawyer nodded.
Inside the restaurant.
Vanessa, with a bright smile, linked arms with Rafferty and instructed several waiters, "You guys, take these gifts to the private room on the third floor."
"Okay." The waiters came over.
Vanessa, still holding Rafferty's arm, smiled charmingly, "Rafferty, let's go to the private room on the third floor. I want to spend some time alone with you."
Rafferty immediately understood what would happen in the private room. With a joyful expression, he said, "Okay, let's go to the private room and talk about life."
Outside the restaurant, Larry and Xerxes squatted by the roadside.
Sawyer stood nearby, distracted, occasionally looking back at the restaurant.
Time passed minute by minute, and more than an hour went by in the blink of an eye.
After more than an hour, some luxury cars appeared outside the restaurant.
These were all cars worth over a million dollars.
And dozens of them appeared at once, with more slowly arriving, causing a traffic jam on the street.
Such a grand scene attracted the attention of passersby.
Many well-known big shots in Sunset City got out of the cars one after another and stood at the entrance of the restaurant.
They didn't go in but waited at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Larry, are they?" Sawyer saw these big shots and couldn't help but ask, "Did you call them?"
Larry smiled, "I don't have that kind of influence. Xerxes called them. These are real wealthy people. You have to serve them well. If they help you even a little, you'll be set for life."
Xerxes laughed, "You're exaggerating."
The arrival of many big shots caught Vanessa's attention.
Vanessa came out.
Seeing dozens of luxury cars parked on the street and the big shots at the entrance of the restaurant.
She had only seen these big shots on TV before.
Now they were all here.
"What is this?" Vanessa, who had seen a lot, recognized many of the bosses, but seeing so many gathered made her a bit nervous.
She asked, but none of the big shots responded to her.
At this moment, a middle-aged man and a young, stylishly dressed girl walked over.
"Dad, Mr. Bennett."
Esmeralda saw Xerxes and Larry standing by the roadside and quickly ran over, affectionately linking arms with Xerxes, her face beaming with a smile, "Dad, thank you."
She looked at Larry and sweetly called out, "Larry."
"Okay." Larry nodded.
Yorick walked over. "Xerxes, Mr. Bennett."
Vanessa at the door was completely stunned by this scene.
Wasn't this the person who delivered the gift earlier? Why was he greeting Larry?
At this moment, she was very surprised.
Xerxes instructed Yorick, "You didn't make it clear when you delivered the gift earlier. Now go and clarify that it was Mr. Bennett who gave the gift to Sawyer."
"Okay." Yorick walked towards Vanessa.
Vanessa snapped out of it and hurriedly greeted, "Everyone, please come inside, quickly, come inside."
Yorick waved his hand slightly and said, "I delivered the gift earlier, and it was from Mr. Bennett to Sawyer."
Vanessa's mouth dropped open.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she turned to look at Rafferty behind her.
Rafferty had claimed it was his gift, so she had specially taken him to a private room on the third floor to show her gratitude.
Seeing the situation, Rafferty was also scared.
He was just a construction contractor. Although he had some money, compared to these real big shots, he was insignificant.
Legion Lord, the Everlife Group, the Martinez Family, the Carter Family.
All these big shots were here.
Sawyer walked over with his head held high, looking at the stunned Rafferty, and said, "Now say it again, was the gift from you?"
Rafferty opened his mouth, but the words wouldn't come out.
"Rafferty, say something." Vanessa was so anxious she was about to cry.
Sawyer slapped Vanessa across the face and angrily said, "Bitch, get out."
Vanessa's friends were all watching.
They all knew what had happened.
They had all thought the gift was from Rafferty, but it turned out it was really from Larry.
Xerxes walked over, looked at Sawyer, and said, "Sawyer, it's my daughter's birthday today. Can we book your restaurant?"
"Yes, of course." Sawyer was flattered.
He was just an ordinary person. And Xerxes was someone who could invite so many big shots.
Xerxes instructed Yorick, "What are you standing around for? Quickly invite everyone inside to sit and rest."
Yorick immediately went to make arrangements.
Many of the big shots present glanced at Larry.
They all knew Larry's identity, but they hadn't expected him to be with Xerxes.
However, they were here because of Xerxes and didn't ask much about Larry.
The big shots entered the restaurant one after another.
"Sawyer, I was wrong."
Vanessa was a shrewd person.
She knew Sawyer had met some big shots, so she immediately grabbed Sawyer's hand, pleading, "Honey, please forgive me."
She lowered her voice and whispered, "I bought a new outfit, I'll wear it for you tonight."
She knew men very well, especially Sawyer.
She knew Sawyer still cared about her.
"Get lost, bitch."
Sawyer slapped her again and said, "Vanessa, I've had enough. Take $1.5 million and get out. From today on, you have nothing to do with this restaurant."
Esmeralda looked at Larry and asked, "Larry, what's going on?"
Larry smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, let's go inside and sit."
"Okay." Esmeralda was overjoyed.
She let go of Xerxes and linked arms with Larry.
Xerxes had invited so many people this time.
Even the Lewis Family had come.
But the Lewis Family members had come with Larry's invitation.
Chloe was among them.
As soon as Chloe and the others got out of the car, they saw Esmeralda affectionately linking arms with Larry.
Chloe was struck as if by lightning, standing there in a daze.
Oscar, who had just gotten out of the car, was stunned and asked, "Isn't that Larry?"
Julia nudged Chloe and whispered, "Chloe, what are you standing there for? Go over there, he's your husband. You can't let another woman take him."
Chloe hesitated.
She wanted to go over.
But remembering her previous attitude towards Larry, she didn't have the courage.
Larry, on the other hand, patted Sawyer on the shoulder and said, "I believe you can handle this."
"Yes, I believe in you too."
Esmeralda didn't know what was going on, but she still smiled and linked arms with Larry as they walked into the restaurant.
