Chapter 163 Hefty Meal
1/4
Lola was thrown from her wheelchair due to the force of inertia, and it quickly rolled away down the stairs.
She crashed headfirst onto the landing, her body contorted into an agonizingly awkward position, with her legs dangling over the railing.
The sharp pain surged through her like a ruthless blade, slicing through every nerve and amplifying every sensation of agony.
Lola’s cries were deafening, reminiscent of a slaughterhouse’s distressing sounds.
Her body lay immobilized as if run over by a truck; her pain was so overwhelming that it rendered her nearly motionless.
The scene was gruesome and shocking; for a while, no one dared approach her, leaving her abandoned in the corner as if forgotten by the world.
In a high–end restaurant, the servers brought out a pair of luxurious steaks.
The glossy, well–scared exterior of the beef looked almost like it was coated with a delicate layer of gold.
With a sizzle that filled the air, the steak promised a rich, mouthwatering experience, crispy on the outside yet tender on

Anne ordered two more portions and, with extravagant flair, instructed the waiter to announce to the entire dining room that all expenses for the day would be on her tab.
The restaurant erupted into thunderous applause.
This was an upscale establishment where even a bottle of wine could cost tens of thousands of dollars. A meal here could easily run into the tens of millions of dollars.
Anne, however, didn’t care. Having left the hospital, she and Meryl had decided to put a dent in Dante’s credit card.
She thought to herself, “We’re getting divorced anyway. Why save him any money? Let him go bankrupt! Treating people to dinner can be my way of doing charity.”
Soon, customers started coming over to toast Anne and Meryl’s table.
In such a setting, where guests were often prominent figures, pleasantries and small talk were expected.
When someone recognized Anne and asked about the celebration, she responded with a cheerful smile, “I’m getting divorced from Dante!”
The one who asked fell silent for a moment. Dante’s name was well known. The Paltrow family was only second to the Aniston family in Kingsdom.

The person thought, “Everyone is eager to associate with such high society, so why is Anne so happy about a divorce?”
Anne noticed the curiosity and, unfazed, said, “You think being part of a high society family is great? I don’t. I’m just thrilled to be out of that marriage! Why don’t you congratulate me instead?”
The person awkwardly laughed it off and said a few complimentary words.
Gradually, everyone who came to toast had to offer their congratulations.
Though it was a divorce, the atmosphere turned celebratory, resembling a festive occasion.
To keep Anne in good spirits, every guest was encouraged to take a jab at Dante..
After all, not everyone knew who he was; such high–profile families were not often encountered.
So, flattering the benefactor with a few disparaging remarks about Dante was only natural.
Meryl kept a close eye on Anne to make sure she didn’t drink.
Even though Anne could leave the hospital on the same day as her surgery, caution was still necessary.

The bill came to over 50 million dollars, and Anne didn’t bat an
eye.
Meanwhile, Dante received a notification on his phone about the hefty charge.
He thought, “50 million dollars for a meal? Did they eat unicorns or something?”
By the time Dante rushed to the restaurant, Anne was long gone.
