Chapter 27 “Can’t afford it?” Anthony asked calmly, his eyes dark as usual.
“Yeah! She wore cheap clothes and came here to eat for free. She is a little weird! After all, we’re one of the finest restaurants in Luton. The poor would want to try once before they die!” the manager said.
Anthony walked in without a change of expression.
The manager said, “Mr. Marwood, your room is this way…”
Yet, Anthony did not seem to have heard him, and he kept walking.

Anthony looked up and saw the charming face.
“Anthony! Do you remember me?” Michelle asked with anticipation.
“The daughter of the Grainger family.” Anthony looked away, looking impatient.
“Yeah! I’m Michelle Grainger. I used to play in the Marwood Mansion.” She was pleased that he remembered her.
