Chapter 522: Chapter 522: There Must Be Some Misunderstanding

“Actually, under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s just a mouse, right? We could just comp the meal and appease the customers. The worst that could happen is making the local news, but it won’t blow up too much.” Wendy Clarke said irritably.

“But the problem is that today’s customers are all relentless. Before we could even react, they had already spread the news. They’re deliberately trying to make a big fuss.”

“That’s why I suspect someone is manipulating them, or at least a few people have infiltrated the group to create chaos. Otherwise, how could it be so troublesome?” Wendy pondered.

“Now because of this, I definitely can’t leave. I have to deal with the aftermath here. I don’t trust anyone else to handle it if I go. And the Restaurant Manager’s capabilities are limited.”

After all, it’s a small place, and it’s hard to find very capable people.

The big talents wouldn’t stay in small places.

They’ve already gone to the big cities to make their fortune.

“Today’s incident got out of hand because he couldn’t handle it in time. So I can’t leave the aftermath to him either.” Wendy said.

“And we have to investigate how the mouse droppings appeared. I know the restaurant’s hygiene conditions. I often visit the restaurant to check, and while I don’t claim the kitchen to be absolutely clean, there should never be mice.”

“Moreover, if we really get sued, I have to stay here to go to court.” Wendy added.

“If you don’t go, how can we go?” Joshua Clarke worried, “We two have spent our whole lives in Nork City and have never been to other places. Suddenly going to such a big city as Belfard, wouldn’t we feel lost?”

“Without someone to guide us, how can we find Cindy Clarke?” Joshua frowned.

Christy Xenos also thought about it.

To find Cindy, they needed to know their way around, right?

“What’s there to feel unsettled about?” Christy couldn’t wait to go now that the 50 million sum was mentioned. “Wendy already explained it so clearly. We have hands, feet, and mouths, and we’re not stupid. Can we really get lost in Belfard?”

“Exactly, Dad. And don’t you have Zoe Silverstone too? If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask her. I’ll contact her tomorrow, and she can help with finding Cindy too.” Wendy continued.

“Zoe Silverstone is neither our relative nor friend; how can we trouble her with everything?” Joshua said helplessly.

“What do you mean ‘trouble her with everything’? Are we the kind of people who would bother Zoe Silverstone with every little trivial matter?” Christian exclaimed.

“But...”

“Enough of your ‘buts.’” Christy interrupted impatiently, “Zoe Silverstone was even willing to come all the way here in person to tell us about Cindy. She traveled from the north to the south by plane without any complaints. How can it be troublesome for us to ask her a few occasional questions in Belfard?”

“Mom is right, Dad.” Wendy agreed, “Besides, Zoe Silverstone is a warm-hearted person when she came here from far away to tell us about Cindy’s whereabouts.”

Josua nodded and said, “Although she has a grudge against Cindy and they’re considered enemies, I think Zoe Silverstone’s eloquence is pretty good. She’s a warm-hearted person when she came so far to tell us about Cindy. There must be some kind of misunderstanding between her and Cindy.”

Christy sneered in her heart.

She liked this aspect of Joshua.

Naive, easily deceived, and gullible.

“Yes, right.” Wendy secretly sneered in her heart but outwardly agreed with Joshua, “Once you reach Belfard, you can take a taxi directly to the hotel. You don’t need to trouble Zoe about these matters.”

“The only thing you might have to trouble her with is getting tickets to the Cooking Competition and spotting Cindy there. I can buy the tickets for you online. However, being in the audience may make it difficult to get to the contestants’ backstage area.”

“So even if you go to the scene, you may not be able to get close to Cindy. If you really want to approach her, we have to ask Zoe Silverstone for help.” Wendy explained.

“Although Zoe Silverstone has been eliminated from the competition and no longer participates, she has connections in Belfard as a food blogger.”
