Chapter 130 Why Should I Treat Them to Such an Expensive Meal
Cherise continued packing her bag and said with a serious look. “I think Sunny has a point. Our cla*smates helped me raise funds when my grandma was sick.”
Lucy pouted “And it’s just two thousand.” She was annoyed at the mention of this topic.. Before this, when Cherise’s grandmother was severely ill, she alone lent eight thousand to her. After Sunny learned about it, he initiated a crowdfunding in the cla*s. However, it turned out that the twenty-eight cla*smates, excluding Lucy and Cherise, only contributed two thousand in total. Lucy’s contribution alone was four times their total! So, 1 y was irritated that they had the nerve to claim credit and make Cherise treat them to a meal.
“There’s also the matter of the exam. Also, it’s just a dinner. I’ve gotten my scholarship. So, I can afford it.” Cherise remained optimistic.
“You can afford it? You dumb girl, do you know what you have agreed to? Do you know what kind of place Viopril Palace is?” Lucy became exasperated.
Cherise was confused. “Isn’t it a restaurant?”
“Yeah, it is. It’s where rich people go for their meals! The ten thousand from your scholarship can’t even afford a bottle of red wine there!” Lucy freaked out.
There was a sudden change in Cherise expression when she heard it. After remaining silent for a moment, she mumbled, “What if… we don’t order wine? We’re just students. It’s fine not to order wine.”
Lucy knocked Cherise’s forehead. “Oh, you hopeless girl! I said you can’t afford a bottle of wine there because the expenses there are high! A bottle of wine or an average meal can easily cost tens of thousands! Treating the whole cla*s to a meal there might cost you over a hundred thousand! Your scholarship is just a drop in the bucket!”
Cherise pouted. “I see. She thought only the wine was expensive.
Seeing Cherise’s dumbfounded look, Lucy pressed her lips in resignation. “Shouldn’t you be worried now? It’s 4 p.m. now. By 8 p.m., those people will be heading to Viopril Palace! How will you come up with a hundred thousand in four hours?”
She shoved Cherise’s phone into her hand. “Quickly call Damien!”
Cherise frowned. “Why?”
“Ask him to send you some money! He’s the one who claimed you’re from a rich family.

Now that the lie is almost exposed, he has to bear the responsibility.”
Cherise shook her head. “I can’t call him. He’s busy today.”
This was the first business deal Damien handled on her behalf ever since the Lyes. Enterprise was renamed to the Shaw Group. Cherise thought Damien must be nervous, so she didn’t want to disturb him.
Lucy inhaled deeply. “What do you plan to do then?”
“Stand everyone up.” Cherise uttered solemnly, “I don’t like this rich girl’s identity anyway. Just let them think I was bragging. They can’t do anything to me if I don’t show up tonight.”
Lucy shot a glare at her. “But they will despise you.”
“Let it be then.” Cherise pursed her lips and carried her bag. “My grandma only spent a few tens of thousands when she was sick. A meal in Viopril Palace costs more than one’s life. I won’t buy them the meal.”
After taking a few steps, she recalled something and turned to complain to Lucy. “And they only raised two thousand for me when my grandma was sick. Why should I treat them to such an expensive meal?”
