[CH 15]

Yesterday, Rose Scott had thought that her problems were solved because of Zane Harrison's help. And Rose had said that it was due to President William Chase's help, so Zane didn't have the slightest doubt in his mind that it was because of his father's influence.

Zane looked at the others with a bit of guilt. They were all looking at him and feeling very uneasy.

"Okay, thank you, dad. Rose is also very grateful to you," Zane said loudly. With that, he hung up the phone.

Zane turned to look at Sue, Rose's aunt. His eyes flickered slightly as he forced himself to calm down. He said, "I've checked with my dad. It was my dad who called President Chase yesterday. We solved this problem."

"Auntie, look it's like I told you earlier, it must have been because of Zane's help, but you're still so suspicious of him." Rose's eyes showed a hint of complaint. She looked at Zane and smiled sweetly, "Zane, don't blame my aunt. She... she is a little too careful sometimes."

"Why would that be? Don't worry," Zane said as he smiled.

Sue was still a little hesitant, and she wanted to confirm this herself. But at that moment, her attention was no longer on Zane.

"Girl—I came to see you in a hurry. I didn't even eat lunch—I'm starving," Sue said, rubbing her stomach.

"Auntie, I'm sorry... okay? Oh right, my friends haven't eaten either. Why don't I order some takeout for you? I can also have somewhat do you want to eat—I'll order some for you," Rose said to Sue after looking at her friends who had been with her all morning.

"All right," Sue agreed, "We can order takeout, but I'm really hungry now."

The others all responded.

"Eh, what's this?" Sue happened to glance at the box of food on the floor and walked over.

"Auntie don't touch that thing. It's only one- or two dollars' worth of fried noodles and rice. I'm going to give it to the cleaners later to feed the dogs," Rose frowned.

"Rose, no matter how much money it is—how can I just throw it away like that? I'm really hungry—let's eat something first," Sue said as she opened the box.

A rich fragrance instantly wafted out from the box.

"It smells so good!" exclaimed one friend.

"Why is it so fragrant?" asked another.

"What's inside?" wondered yet another.

Everyone in the room gasped in wonder and surrounded the boxes of food. Sue took out all the smaller boxes that were inside and placed them on the cabinet beside the bed.

"This is Louis XIII from 1980," Sue pulled out a flat, round bottle of sparkling red wine.

"This bottle of Louis XIII is over six thousand dollars!" she exclaimed as the others gawked at the wine bottle in Sue's hand.

"Auntie, are you sure?" Rose looked at Sue in disbelief. No matter what, she couldn't link the six-thousand-dollar bottle of Louis XIII with Alex Ambrose.

Sue opened the bottle and sniffed, then looked at Rose happily, "Really... I've sipped this wine once before when I was on business in France. It tastes exactly like this."

Sue put down the wine bottle. The others had already opened the boxes one by one, and the fragrance filled the entire room.

"These are Brittany blue lobster!" Sue exclaimed as she looked at a blue lobster in the box.
