Chapter: 1165
They thought they could become internet celebrities and earn money by accumulating enough followers, so they tried deceiving people.
Everything that was happening to them now was the result of their actions, so they could not blame Claudia and Aurora for their current misfortune.
The ruthless part of Claudia was satisfied with how things turned out in the end.
With the phone in hand, Claudia headed downstairs. Bennett had not returned yet. She sat by the counter and waited for him to come home, eager to tell him about the news.
Meanwhile, Stan and Aiyana's anxiety levels shot through the roof when they realized that the topic had topped the trending list.
At the moment, they were in their office in the restaurant. The establishment was packed with people, as it had been for the past few days, because of the coupons they sent out a few days ago. It was also being promoted by several internet celebrities.
There was already a sizable line outside, despite the fact that it was still too early for dinner.
An employee entered the office and reported, "Mr. and Mrs. Moore, there are some guests outside looking for you.
The employee glanced nervously at Stan, who Looked Like he was in an extremely bad mood. Stan snarled, "What? You should've told them that we're not here!"
“I did, but they said that they saw you earlier."
Stan opened his mouth to reprimand the employee, but Aiyana spoke up.
“Let's go and see what they want."
With that, the couple exited the office. As soon as they did, they were immediately approached by someone who said, “Excuse me! Are you the owners of this restaurant? Do you know that it's trending right now?"
Half of the diners in the establishment heard those words because the speaker spoke loudly.
Stan was stunned for a moment before he feigned ignorance by saying, "I don't know what you're talking about."
He then turned to the employee and instructed, “If anyone comes looking for us again, tell them that we have an emergency at home."
With that, he grabbed Aiyana's hand and departed, leaving the baffled employee behind.
Stan and Aiyana were heading to the back door, hoping to leave unnoticed, when a sharp-eyed diner recognized them.
"Hey, aren't you the owners of this restaurant? Your restaurant has become a trending topic on Twitter! Is there something wrong with the ingredients you use?"
The two exchanged worried glances and pretended not to hear what he said. But the other diners in the restaurant had overheard and were now curious.
"Yeah, what's going on? We demand an explanation! We're not paying for anything until we know the food is safe!"
Their restaurant gained popularity on the Internet. Thanks to their online advertisement, visitors were flocking to the restaurant, eager to try out the food. Many of them were using their mobile phones to capture videos of their dining experience with the intention of sharing it on social media.
The atmosphere in the restaurant turned tense as customers began to voice their complaints. Some even started broadcasting it live.
The situation escalated quickly, with more and more people joining in, adding to the chaos.
