00:00Jeffrey kept bringing his friends here to eat. He came 18 times in a single month.
00:05Altogether, he racked up $100,000 in bills and never paid a dime.
00:10The restaurant was losing money. I finally couldn't take it anymore. I asked Jeffrey to pay his bill.
00:16Instead, Jeffrey slapped me right in front of all my guests and staff.
00:21I only brought my crew here for my brother Marcus. You should thank me. How dare you ask me for
00:26cash?
00:31My husband, Marcus, looked away, pretending he had seen nothing.
00:36I didn't argue. I didn't make a scene. I just turned around and walked away.
00:42Two days later was Jeffrey's birthday. He invited every single one of his friends and family and booked out my
00:48whole restaurant.
00:49Then he barked an order at me.
00:51I booked the whole place for my birthday today. Served the most expensive wine and the best food at every
00:55table.
00:56I looked down at the contract in my hand. I'd just signed the papers to sell the restaurant. I smiled
01:01faintly. Sure.
01:05Jeffrey's hand slapped across my face. The noisy restaurant went dead silent. Everyone stared at me.
01:12Only my husband, Marcus Ashfield, looked away. He pretended nothing was happening.
01:17I looked up. I glanced at angry Jeffrey, then at Marcus, who was pretending not to know what was happening.
01:23I didn't argue. I didn't make a scene. I just quietly walked out of the restaurant.
01:28You ungrateful piece of trash. How dare you ask me for money? Do it again and I'll make you regret
01:33it.
01:33I didn't look back.
01:35I walked outside. The cool night wind blew against my face.
01:38The stinging pain on my cheek grew even sharper.
01:40Yet deep down, I was calmer than I had ever been.
01:43I took a deep breath. I pulled out my phone and made a call.
01:46Hello? I want to sell my restaurant. I don't care about the price. I only have one condition.
01:51After I wrapped up the conversation on the phone, I didn't head back to the restaurant.
01:56Instead, I went straight home.
01:58Marcus, you really need to get Ella in line.
02:00She's part of the Ashford family now, yet she had the nerve to publicly hound her Jeffrey for money just
02:05over a simple meal.
02:07If the ladies at the club find out, we'll be humiliated.
02:10Right? Exactly, Marcus. You can't let her get away with this.
02:13Look what happened today. I slapped her and she didn't even dare to utter a single word.
02:17But she paid for that restaurant with her own trust fund. It's hard for me to interfere too much.
02:21So what? She married you, so she belongs to the Ashford family. Her money is your money.
02:26What's wrong with your brothers using a little bit of it?
02:29Besides, Jeffrey said he brought his friends to help her business.
02:32If she doesn't even understand that, why is she running a restaurant?
02:35You must set her straight today. If she wants to stay in this house, she needs to behave.
02:39She can't keep embarrassing us like this.
02:42I know.
02:44The next second, I burst through the door.
02:47All three of them looked at me. Their eyes were full of annoyance.
02:50I ignored them. I walked straight into the bedroom.
02:54I opened the closet and started packing my clothes.
02:57What are you doing?
03:01I'm packing. I'm moving out.
03:03Ella, how much longer are you going to keep this up?
03:05My brother shouldn't have hit you.
03:07But you shouldn't have embarrassed him in public either.
03:09He's my brother. I can't fight him just for you.
03:11Why can't you be more mature? You need to stop being so petty.
03:14Don't worry. I won't do it again.
03:17I folded my last shirt and put it in the suitcase.
03:20I zipped it up.
03:21Then I walked out of the house without looking back.
03:25Let her go.
03:26If she wants to leave, she shouldn't come back.
03:28I don't believe she can survive without the Ashford family.
03:32Marcus, she's just throwing a tantrum to control you.
03:35Ignore her.
03:36In a few days, she'll definitely come back crying to apologize.
03:40With Victoria and Jeffrey mocking me,
03:42I carried my suitcase and walked out of the gate.
03:45I booked a room at a hotel near the restaurant.
03:49After settling in, my phone buzzed.
03:51It was a text message.
03:53I read it and smiled with satisfaction.
03:56For the next two days, I went to the restaurant as usual.
03:58I managed everything like nothing had happened.
04:00I just took some time to make a few phone calls and sign some documents.
04:03Jeffrey didn't show up during those two days.
04:05Marcus, who usually loved coming to the restaurant either,
04:07but he sent me a few texts.
04:08Ella, that's enough. Stop throwing a titrum.
04:10My mother is right. You're just spoiled.
04:11If you're really that stubborn, don't ever come back.
04:13I didn't reply to any of them.
04:15I just quietly went about my business.
04:17On the third day, I had just signed the last contract.
04:20Suddenly, Jeffrey walked in.
04:22He looked incredibly arrogant.
04:25Victoria and Marcus walked right next to him.
04:27Neither of them looked at me.
04:28A huge crowd of dozens of people followed behind them.
04:31Most of them were Ashford relatives and Jeffrey's friends.
04:34As soon as they walked in, they made themselves at home.
04:37They sat down wherever they wanted.
04:39Today's my birthday, and I'm taking over this entire restaurant.
04:43Serve the most expensive wine and the best food at every table!
04:47Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy vog,
04:51and serve champagne.
04:53Don't try to cheap out on me.
04:55Are you sure you want all these wines and dishes for every table?
04:58Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed or canceled.
05:02Of course I'm sure!
05:04Just do what I told you!
05:05Why are you talking so much?
05:06Do you want me to slap you again?
05:09That's our Jeffrey!
05:11Fancy birthday dinner!
05:13His friends saw this and started flattering him.
05:16Jeffrey, isn't this too expensive?
05:18All this high-end food and wine must cost a corn.
05:21Some of the Ashford relatives looked excited.
05:23Others looked worried.
05:24Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively.
05:26It doesn't matter.
05:27It's just a meal.
05:28Enjoy as much as you want.
05:29Everything is on me today.
05:32What are you waiting for?
05:33Get the food out!
05:34Quit stalling or you'll regret it!
05:37I looked at his arrogant, ugly face.
05:39Then I looked down at the restaurant transfer contract I had just signed.
05:44Fine.
05:45After saying that, I walked to the entrance.
05:47I hung up a sign.
05:49It read, closed for private event.
05:52Jeffrey booked the whole place today.
05:54Serve everything he asked for.
05:55Bring out the lobster, oysters, caviar, wagyu beef, black truffles, and foy brong.
05:59Only serve the champagne.
06:01I spoke to the head table.
06:02Don't hold back.
06:03Boss, this is going to cost a fortune.
06:05Can Jeffrey actually afford it?
06:06This is what he asked for.
06:07Just do as he says.
06:08The head chef saw I was serious.
06:10He didn't ask any more questions.
06:12He immediately turned around to prepare the food.
06:15Soon, the kitchen got busy.
06:17Hands sizzled.
06:18The chefs shouted orders back and forth.
06:19A rich aroma filled the entire restaurant.
06:22Jeffrey's group sat in the dining room.
06:23They crossed their legs, ate nuts, and talked loudly.
06:27Every now and then, they shouted.
06:29Hurry up with the food.
06:30We're starving.
06:31Before long, the expensive dishes started coming out.
06:33There was butter-baked lobster, oysters with caviar, wagyu tartar, black truffle risot, and
06:37pan-steed foie gras.
06:38Every dish was beautifully plated.
06:39They all looked incredibly expensive.
06:40The sommelier popped open bottle after bottle of champagne.
06:43He poured it for every table.
06:44Oh my God.
06:45Are we really getting all this amazing food and wine?
06:47Jeffrey, you are awesome.
06:47Take a picture for social media.
06:49Most people will never eat like this in their lives.
06:51Jeffrey is my hero from now on.
06:52The relatives joined in with the compliments, too.
06:56Oh my God.
06:57I've only seen black truffles, caviar, and champagne in magazines.
07:01I never thought I'd get to taste them in my life.
07:03I always heard we'd live the good life if we followed Jeffrey.
07:06I didn't expect it to be this good.
07:08Jeffrey is so successful.
07:10He's so young, yet so generous and capable.
07:12He's going to do great things.
07:14Everyone, eat and drink as much as you want.
07:16Order more if it's not enough.
07:18Everything is on me today.
07:19Don't hold back.
07:19The crowd cheered again.
07:21Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.
07:23Let's drink to Jeffrey.
07:25Happy birthday.
07:26May you get richer and more powerful every year.
07:29Jeffrey felt incredibly satisfied.
07:31He loved the toasts and the flattery.
07:34If you ever want to eat out in the future, just come to this restaurant.
07:36Just give him my name, Jeffrey Ashford.
07:38Put everything on my tab.
07:39You won't have to pay a single cent.
07:40Jeffrey is so generous.
07:41We're following Jeffrey from now on.
07:44Ella, don't you love money?
07:45Aren't you obsessed with those petty bills?
07:47Today, I'm going to eat your restaurant dry.
07:49I'll show you what happens when you cross me.
07:51If this had happened before, Jeffrey's words would have given me a headache.
07:54But now, I just found it funny.
07:56Whatever you say.
07:57Jeffrey frowned.
07:58He looked annoyed that I wasn't getting angry.
08:00Then he glanced at the running bill on the counter.
08:03A sly look came over his face.
08:04This meal only cost $200,000 so far?
08:07No wonder you're so calm.
08:08I guess I haven't spent enough yet.
08:09Bring me the menu.
08:10I want to order more.
08:12Add white truffles for everyone and bring out all the premium caviar you have.
08:15Also, three pounds of bluefin tuna belly sashimi for every table.
08:19How about now?
08:20Does your heart hurt yet?
08:21Not at all.
08:23Then add a king crab to every table.
08:25Also, pack a lobster, a Wagyu steak, and a bottle of champagne for everyone to take home.
08:30You can have it for afternoon tea.
08:32Wow!
08:32Jeffrey is so generous.
08:34We get to eat our fill and take food home.
08:36Is this what real wealth looks like?
08:38Jeffrey, that's enough.
08:39If you keep ordering, you'll empty out the restaurant's entire inventory.
08:42That's exactly what I want.
08:44I want to empty out all the expensive stuff.
08:46That's the only way someone will learn their lesson.
08:48Victoria walked over, too.
08:50She looked very proud of herself.
08:52That's right.
08:52Jeffrey is right.
08:53Someone gets worse the more you spoil them.
08:55She actually tried to scare us by running away.
08:58If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll think we're afraid of her.
09:01Marcus glanced at me.
09:02He didn't say anything else.
09:03Victoria and Jeffrey looked down at me.
09:05Their eyes were full of petty revenge.
09:07I just smiled and kept quiet.
09:10Boss, should I really put this order through?
09:16Yes.
09:17Serve whatever they order.
09:21The sommelier didn't ask any more questions.
09:23She turned and went to the kitchen to place the order.
09:27Jeffrey and Victoria went back to their seats to keep eating and drinking.
09:31Soon, the sommelier brought out the white truffles, caviar, and bluefin tuna.
09:35She served them plate after plate, just as Jeffrey had ordered.
09:39Then she packed dozens of takeout bags.
09:41She placed them next to everyone.
09:44This is incredible.
09:45This meal must cost at least $20,000 per person.
09:49It's nothing.
09:50The most important thing is that everyone has a good time.
09:54Don't worry about a little dinner bill.
09:57I looked at the running total.
09:59Their bill had jumped from $200,000 to $500,000.
10:03Jeffrey was finally satisfied when he saw the restaurant's expensive ingredients and wines were completely gone.
10:08Having eaten and drunk his full, he leaned back in his chair and let out a burp.
10:16Ella, has this meal taught you your lesson?
10:19Remember, don't be so petty in the future.
10:21Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with you.
10:24He turned to lead everyone towards the exit.
10:27Just then, a tall man stepped in front of the door.
10:30He blocked Jeffrey's path.
10:32Your total bill today is $500,000.
10:35Please settle your bill.
10:36Please settle your bill.
