Chapter 578: Chapter 578: You’ve Been Fooled!

The remaining garlic paste was mixed with the vermicelli lying at the bottom, making it slippery.

As for the oysters that were sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, when the oyster meat was picked up, long, stretchy strings of cheese came along with it.

It took Cindy Clarke a few attempts to finally cut the strings of cheese.

“Surprisingly, it’s not greasy at all.” Adrian Zhekova marveled, “There’s even a garlic flavor.”

At first, he thought it was the flavor of the Garlic Oysters next to him that overlapped.

But the taste was not the same when he tried it.

Adrian Zhekova moved all the cheese aside, only to find a layer of garlic paste hidden underneath.

“So it’s the garlic paste that balances out the greasiness of the cheese” Adrian Zhekova figured it out.

Morgan Zhekova couldn’t pay attention to the conversation, he was busy enjoying the food, making munching sounds.

Around halfway through, he also took a sip of grape juice.

Just like how people would do after sipping white wine on TV, he even let out a hearty “Ha!”

“...” Adrian Zhekova didn’t know what to say.

“Right, Walter Wells sent me the wedding invitation today.” Adrian Zhekova said.

Walter Wells and Charlotte York had informed them of the wedding date about a month ago.

They were advised to keep their schedules open for the wedding day.

But back then, it was just a verbal notification and the formal invitation hadn’t been sent out yet.

What delivered today was the formal wedding invitation.

The wedding of Walter Wells and Charlotte York has been scheduled for this Saturday.

While Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova were cheerfully having dinner with Morgan, Joshua Clarke and Christy Xenos had already returned home.

They had actually returned to Nork City in the afternoon.

After disembarking the plane, they went straight home.

They haven’t told Wendy Clarke.

Meanwhile, Wendy Clarke was busy with the restaurant business during the day and wasn’t at home.

When she returned at night and got out of the car, she noticed that the lights in the house were still on.

She wasn’t at home, and the housekeepers had already finished their shift. Why were the lights still on?

Knowing this, Christy Xenos even stated that it was not a place for humans to live in.

She knew that Cindy Clarke wasn’t living comfortably.

But why wasn’t she considering to help Cindy Clarke?

“Not only does she not have any money, she expects us to give her some.” Christy Xenos scoffed, “Thinks we’re easy to take advantage of, huh?”

“Hold on.” Wendy Clarke interrupted Christy Xenos, “I feel I am being overwhelmed with disorder.”

“Mom, don’t keep beating around the bush. Start from the beginning.” Wendy Clarke feared that Christy Xenos would go off on a tangent, “Start from the moment you arrived in Belford. Tell me everything in detail, in chronological order. What happened, tell me everything in detail.”

“Oh, okay.” So Christy Xenos started from the beginning.

Because in between, she frequently digressed and ranted about Cindy Clarke.

It nearly took four long hours for her to finish.

Good thing Wendy Clarke anticipated it. The moment she noticed that Christy Xenos was about to berate Cindy Clarke, she quickly interrupted her and prompted her to get back on track.

Otherwise, given Christy Xenos’s pace, who knows when it would end.

Finally, Christy Xenos finished her narration.

Wendy Clarke slapped the couch: “You’ve been deceived!”

“Cindy must have tricked you!” Wendy Clarke stated, “She was just trying to scare you off!”

“Impossible!” Christy Xenos retorted confidently, “One thing she said was quite reasonable.”

“Just look at Zoe Silverstone, even though she is as popular as her, she looks as if she hardly has two pennies to rub together. She even makes us pay for her entrance tickets. If she truly were that rich, would she bother to even do this?”

“She was quick to assert that Cindy Clarke was wealthy, but what about herself? She is on par with Cindy Clarke. If Cindy Clarke is so well-off, why does she herself appear so poor?” Christy Xenos felt that her analysis was quite reasonable.

“True poverty isn’t something you can pretend to have, just like real wealth can’t be faked.” Christy Xenos said, “Look at Zoe Silverstone, does she look rich to you?”

Wendy Clarke frowned in thought for quite a while.

No doubt that the behavior of Zoe Silverstone was indeed suspicious.

But little did Wendy Clarke know that Zoe Silverstone was suppressed by Adrian Zhekova which was the reason for her dire straits.

From Wendy Clarke’ perspective, Zoe Silverstone had only offended Cindy Clarke.

Even if Adrian Zhekova wanted to teach Zoe Silverstone a lesson, it wouldn’t be so relentless.

After all, who is Adrian Zhekova?

Did he really have all the time in the world to focus on Zoe Silverstone?

And Wendy Clarke was unaware of the relationship between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
