“How about a spicy hot pot? Is that okay?"

"Sure," Anthony replied with a faint smile.

In the cafe, the atmosphere had been completely awkward. The exquisite dessert was left untouched, and the fragrant coffee had gone cold.

At this moment, Jacqueline could just put on a stiff smile. With a pen in her hand, she signed the contract in front of her one after another. Once she was done, she handed all of them to Anthony.

Upon looking at her watch, she found that it was almost half past five.

“Uhm... Anthony, can we—"

“Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Bowles. I hope to do business with you again in the future if another opportunity presents itself. See you around.”

Anthony deliberately cut off Jacqueline, giving her no chance to finish her words.

Hearing this, Jacqueline's pretty face twitched a few times. This wasn't what she was expecting.

What was going on?

How could Anthony act this way?

He used to enjoy an outstanding status, higher above most people. But things changed drastically just recently.

Right now, everyone knew that Anthony was stripped off of the right to become the Wilson family's heir.

Not only was he disinherited, he also became a cripple. To make matters worse, he was now only allowed to manage some old projects.

Therefore, why was he acting Like he was still a person of untouchable status?

Several years ago, Anthony initiated breaking off their engagement without hesitation. Now, he would just leave directly after finishing their transaction. He didn't even have the courtesy of asking Jacqueline to have dinner.

Of course, for Jacqueline, she was utterly offended. Anthony was not being a gentleman at all.

Obviously, Jacqueline's beauty wasn't just a regular one. Anthony might be a cripple, but he wasn't blind.

How could he act so indifferent and arrogant while speaking to such a charming and noble woman?

“Anthony, it's getting late. Why don't we at least find a nice place to have dinner together?”

Jacqueline smiled sweetly. In the end, she knew that most men couldn't resist her charm.

“As you know, the Bowles Group's main business involves catering. I know a great 3-star Michelin restaurant nearby. Why don't I treat you there for old times’ sake?"

“I'm sorry, but I have to turn down your invitation,“ Anthony said emotionlessly without thinking twice.

“My fiancee is waiting for me at home. She wants spicy hot pot, so I'm buying some on the way home."
