But when Maria was about to refuse, Vincent played the card up his sleeve. "I actually invited a retired chef from Broome, who's also an old friend of mine. He knows a lot of secret recipes. Are you not interested to meet him?"

"Tell me the time and place. I'll be there." Maria instantly gave in. It turned out to be a good offer that she wouldn't refuse.

Based on her statement, Vincent also knew that she had agreed.

Hence, with a huge smile on his face, Vincent said, "This Saturday, I'm holding my eightieth birthday party in Jadforest Garden. Don't come here with empty hands, okay? At least bring me some gifts."

Maria almost dropped her phone after hearing this. Apparently, the old man tricked her again.
