Chapter 318 Perfectly Suitable
Esmeralda was holding Larry's arm as if they were very familiar with each other.
Deep down, Larry was resistant.
But when he thought about the huge gift Xerxes had given him, and how he had brought all the big shots attending the birthday party to this small restaurant, it indirectly boosted the restaurant's reputation.
From then on, the restaurant would never lack customers.
So, he tacitly allowed Esmeralda to hold his arm.
And Chloe just watched as Larry and Esmeralda entered the restaurant.
She didn't have the courage to go over.
She stood at a distance, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.
"Chloe, what are you doing?" Maria grabbed her.
Chloe's face showed helplessness as she said, "What am I going in for? To be looked down upon and ridiculed by him?"
"How have I taught you usually? You are his wife. Now that your husband is being taken away, you act like you don't know. The more this happens, the more you need to be magnanimous and take the initiative to greet Esmeralda. Do I need to teach you this?"
Maria looked at Chloe helplessly.
"I don't want to do that. I'm the one who asked for a divorce. Now I'm going to please him? I can't do it," Chloe spoke softly.
At this moment, she felt her life was bleak.
She had married someone she didn't like, someone she had no feelings for.
And the person she liked was her friend's boyfriend.
She hated it, hated why God treated her this way.
"Chloe, you can't give up."
"This is five hundred billion dollars. Do you know what five hundred billion dollars means?"
"Chloe, the future of the Lewis Family depends on you."
The Lewis Family members kept persuading her.
Seeing the way her family acted, Chloe felt disgusted.
From beginning to end, the Lewis Family only cared about money.
Chloe shed tears.
Maria felt she had spoken too harshly and softened her tone, persuading, "Chloe, I know you like Black Dragon, but do you know who Black Dragon is? He is the war god of the Summer Nation, the guardian of the Summer Nation. All the women in the country like him. How can you compete with others? And you said it yourself, he is with Abigail now. Larry is about to have five hundred billion dollars. Why are you still chasing Black Dragon? Isn't five hundred billion dollars good enough?"
"Listen to me, I only want what's best for you, I won't harm you."
"Come on, let's go inside."
Maria said, pulling Chloe towards the restaurant.
Chloe was reluctantly dragged inside.
Today, Xerxes had booked the entire place.
Everyone else had been kicked out.
Most of these people were Vanessa's friends, some were her family, and some were her former customers.
There were also a few tables of Sawyer's people.
The rest were some of their classmates.
These people were kicked out without a word of complaint.
A crowd gathered at the entrance.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that Matthew?"
"I also saw Leo, the chairman of the Legion Group. I've only seen him on TV before."
"And Kelly from the Everlife Group."
"So many big shots are coming to this small restaurant. How many big shots does Vanessa know?"
Many people were talking.
And Vanessa was standing at the door, pleading bitterly, "Sawyer, I was wrong. Please give me a chance. For the sake of our marriage, forgive me. I will never look down on your friends again. I will never make you kneel again. From now on, you will have the final say at home. Whatever you say goes. If you want me to kneel, I will kneel."
Vanessa knew that Sawyer had met some big shots, real big shots.
After today, this restaurant would become very famous, with a constant stream of customers.
All of this meant money.
She didn't want to give it up.
"Get lost."
Sawyer didn't soften at all.
"Vanessa, I want to cut all ties with you."
Sawyer cursed and then turned and entered the restaurant.
This scene was witnessed by many people.
They all knew that from now on, this restaurant belonged to Sawyer.
"Sawyer."
Some classmates, seeing the situation, ran to curry favor with Sawyer.
In the restaurant, on the third floor.
In a luxurious private room.
A few people were sitting in the room.
Xerxes, Larry, and Esmeralda.
"Esmeralda, are you satisfied now?" Xerxes asked with a smile.
"Yes." Esmeralda nodded repeatedly, saying, "This is the most meaningful birthday I've ever had. Dad, thank you."
Receiving Esmeralda's thanks made Xerxes very happy.
There was a knock on the door.
Yorick, who was standing by, went to open the door.
Two people were standing at the door.
A middle-aged woman.
A tall, fair-skinned, and extremely beautiful woman in a bright dress.
It was Maria and Chloe.
"Xerxes," Maria stood at the door with a bright smile, saying, "Do you mind if we come in and sit?"
As she spoke, she called out loudly, "Larry, Chloe is here."
Larry was sitting by the window in the private room, smoking and staring out the window.
Hearing the call, he turned around and saw Maria and Chloe standing at the door.
He immediately got up and walked to the door, looking at Chloe with a smile, "Chloe, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he reached out to hold Chloe's hand and pulled her inside.
Chloe wanted to refuse, but she held back and let Larry pull her in.
"Chloe, you guys chat. I won't go in and disturb you."
Maria was very tactful.
She knew Xerxes' status and knew she wasn't qualified to go in. She was just there to bring Chloe.
In the private room, Chloe sat down.
"Chloe, hello," Esmeralda greeted.
"Hello," Chloe nodded and responded softly.
"You young people chat, I won't disturb you," Xerxes tactfully stood up and glanced at Yorick.
Yorick understood and followed Xerxes out of the private room.
Esmeralda looked at Larry sitting next to Chloe, with a smile on her pretty face, and said, "Chloe, you and Larry are really a perfect match."
"Really?" Chloe responded absentmindedly, perfunctorily.
"Yes." Esmeralda nodded seriously.
Chloe was so beautiful that even she was a bit envious.
If she were a man, she would definitely fall in love with Chloe.
Larry gratefully glanced at Esmeralda; she was good at complimenting people.
Larry looked at Chloe and asked, "Chloe, why did you come? Are you not mad at me anymore? I told you, I was framed. The police have already cleared it up, and I've been released without charge."
"Okay," Chloe responded and said, "I believe you were framed."
Chloe was very perfunctory. She wasn't very concerned about this matter anymore.
Before this happened, she was determined to be with Larry, but because of this incident, Larry was arrested, and she found out that Black Dragon was still alive.
And Black Dragon had helped her earn the title of a divine doctor.
Now her mind was full of Black Dragon.
