Pretending to Argue

This "secret weapon" planted a seed of curiosity in the hearts of all the diners.

Princess Mira was completely oblivious to this. All she saw was the restaurant packed to the brim, guests flooding in—she was absolutely thrilled!

She glanced at the Eight Treasures Bistro across the street—at this hour, their guests were less than half the usual crowd. This gave Princess Mira a fleeting sense of triumphant victory.

Meanwhile, Lily Evans was leisurely sipping tea inside the Eight Treasures Bistro, a smile playing on her lips as she watched the hustle and bustle at Suxin Pavilion across the way.

"It's about time. Let's head over," Lily Evans said to Bella Bell and Lola at her side.

"Yes, Master!" Bella Bell replied cheerfully, taking Lily Evans's arm, while Lola silently followed behind.

The three of them left the Eight Treasures Bistro and strolled toward Suxin Pavilion.

Upstairs at Suxin Pavilion, Princess Mira watched Lily Evans approach, feeling immensely smug.

Lily Evans stopped at the entrance of Suxin Pavilion, her gaze coolly sweeping over the packed house.

Most of the guests were regulars from the Eight Treasures Bistro. Seeing Princess Lily Hayes show up with her top manager for a showdown, they craned their necks, eager to watch the drama unfold.
