In ordinary small restaurants, they won’t take back well-prepared dishes.

Let alone a place like this!

She’s now more certain that Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit did it on purpose.

But she couldn’t figure out what they were thinking.

Joanna hadn’t offended them in any way, and there was no conflict between them before.

Why all of a sudden…

“Yeah, usually at these high-end places, the portions are really small.

We were worried that people might not get full, so we ordered all these dishes.” Lillian White and Gretchen Skerit were obviously on the same side.

“And besides, didn’t Joanna just say to order whatever we wanted?

We didn’t force her to say that, that was her own words.

If she’s worried that we ordered too much and she can’t afford to pay later, she shouldn’t pretend to be more generous than she really is.”

This statement was a bit too much.

Aria frowned, “Lillian, how could you say that?

Joanna kindly invited us for a meal.

Did she do something wrong for treating us?”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Joanna, afraid that it would end up in a quarrel and make everyone unhappy, tugged on Aria’s arm and signaled her: “Aria, stop it.

I invited everyone out to eat, and I want everyone to be happy.

Let’s not have a dispute over a meal.”

“It’s okay if we can’t finish these dishes.

We can take them home and eat them tonight.”

Aria pouted: “I just think that when you kindly invite someone for dinner, they may not necessarily appreciate it.”

“Heh.” Lillian slammed her cup on the table with a “bang.”

She turned her head and looked at Aria, sneering: “Aria, what do you mean?”

Gretchen also frowned, her tone a bit angry: “Nobody needs this meal that much.

Aria, you don’t have to act like we owe Joanna such a huge favor for this meal.

If you think we’re taking advantage on purpose, then let’s just go Dutch Treat.”

Gretchen said this, but she didn’t really intend to go Dutch Treat.

She just knew Joanna, knowing that she wouldn’t let them go Dutch Treat, so she said something like that.

If they really needed to go Dutch Treat, she couldn’t afford it herself.

Lillian didn’t know what she was thinking, and got upset when she heard her words: “Why should we go Dutch Treat?

Joanna invited us to this dinner herself.

She chose the place, and we couldn’t afford such an expensive restaurant.”

“Anyway, I won’t go Dutch Treat.”

Lillian was afraid they’d really go Dutch Treat, so she immediately said she had no money.

What a joke, if they went Dutch Treat, she absolutely had no money to pay for it.

When they ordered earlier, she clearly saw the prices of those dishes.

By her estimate, the whole table of dishes would cost at least two to three hundred thousand.

“How could you, how could you do this?” Aria was furious, “What do you mean by nobody needs this meal?

Joanna was kind-hearted, is this how you treat her?

Gretchen, Lillian, what you said is too much.”

The atmosphere at the dinner table had already become unbearably tense.

At this point, Gretchen and Lillian realized that they had gone too far with their words.

But the words had been spoken, and they couldn’t take them back.

The two of them figured that since they had already offended others, they might as well not bother maintaining a superficial friendship any longer.

Lillian put on a cold face and said to Joanna: “Joanna, is today’s dinner just a simple invitation for our dormmates, or do you have other intentions?

You know it clearly in your heart.”
