Chapter-144: Jessica seems to know the identity of the noble man
What he said made a lot of sense and the people on the opposite side were speechless. The man in brocade clothes couldn't help but say, "Reward her one hundred Coins." Only servants would use the word "reward" and this was clearly a favor to Luo Wendy Lark.
Everyone was looking at Wendy Lark, who accepted it generously, "Thank you for the reward." She smiled and stretched out her right hand, "What about the rent? They can't be mixed up." Rewards are one thing and rent is another.
The other person's expression froze. Someone couldn't help but snicker, "Hehehahaha…" Why would someone want to show off in front of Miss Wendy Lark? She is the king of showing off.
The man in brocade clothes began to release cold air again, but unfortunately, the colder he was, the brighter Wendy Lark smiled. The white faced, beardless man saw that his master's luck was starting to improve, and secretly cried out that it was not good, and asked first.
"How many silver coins…?" Wendy Lark spoke without hesitation, "The upper rooms in this inn are one Coin per night, and the middle rooms are half a Coin per night.
You can take two upper rooms and two middle rooms, which is three Coins in total. Please pay in advance. No credit is accepted." The white faced, beardless man immediately threw out a silver note for 100 Coins and said.
"Here, take it and give me the change." Wendy Lark slowly put away the banknotes. This kind of difficulty was simply child's play. She didn't need to do it herself. "Brother, go and arrange it. Hurry up."
"Good." After a while, Tom Lark came over with a box in his hand. "There are ninety seven Coins in it. Please count." After a few moves back and forth, Wendy Lark had the upper hand. The white faced, beardless man felt extremely aggrieved.
When had he ever suffered such an injustice? "I want food and hot water." Wendy Lark didn't even blink, "There will be an additional charge for this. The meal is five Coins of silver per person, so thirty people will cost one hundred and fifty Coins. Hot water is free."
The white faced, beardless man asked aggressively, "Five Coins per portion? The food outside isn't that expensive." Wendy Lark made a gesture of invitation, "Then please go-out for dinner."
She really doesn't care and doesn't need the money. This is just a means of fighting back. The man in brocade clothes suddenly asked in a cold voice, "What if you are not satisfied with the food? Can I get a refund?"
His subordinates were all dumbfounded. Was their master mad? This amount of money was nothing. Usually a meal would cost several hundred coins of silver. Wendy Lark was immediately unhappy, and put her hands on her hips.
"What? Return the money? Are you kidding? Where is your aristocratic demeanor? Where are your noble manners…?" The man in brocade clothes was deliberately making things difficult for her, "You can even blackmail me..."
Wendy Lark jumped three feet high, "Stop, what is blackmail? Using threats and deception to defraud money and property, did I threaten you? Did I deceive you?"
She looked at me with a look of disdain and said. "How can you not have common sense? This is really not good. I will be looked down upon. No, I told you the price in advance, you have the right to choose whether to eat it or not.
I am very disappointed that you are accusing me of something that is not true and destroying my reputation. We cannot work together if we do not share the same ideals."
She waved her hand and said, "Everyone go back to your rooms and rest. Be alert at night because there are outsiders here."
"Yes." After a while, everyone left, leaving only the women from the third branch of the Lark family. Lord Jeff saw them as an eyesore and said, "Drag them away." The officers came forward to drag the people away.
The women struggled frantically, and some even kicked and hit others. The scene became a complete mess for a while. At this moment, Jessica Lark took advantage of the chaos and pounced on the man in brocade clothes.
The guards beside him immediately drew their swords and pointed them at her. She fell to the ground and begged, "Please save my family, please." The man in brocade clothes looked at her indifferently, and Wendy Lark also looked at her expressionlessly.
Mr. Jeff was overwhelmed and went forward to drag the people away himself. Jessica Lark struggled helplessly, tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks. She looked so pitiful with tears in the rain, and there was a kind of broken beauty in her that was touching.
"Mister Jim, please, as long as you save my family, I am willing to serve you like a slave." A thought flashed through Wendy Lark's mind. Could it be that Jessica Lark knew the man in front of her? However, the man's reaction didn't seem like he knew her.
Jessica Lark was well known for her talent and was one of the two beauties in the capital. Logically, all the men in the upper class circles in the capital knew her. Even if you haven't seen her, you've heard of her reputation.
Perhaps, Jessica Lark from the previous life knew him... The man in brocade clothes finally spoke "Let her go." As soon as he spoke, one of his men rushed over and attacked Lord Jeff's eyes. In order to protect himself, Lord Jeff had to let Jessica Lark go.
The man in brocade clothes slowly walked over and looked down at the beautiful and fragile girl. "Speak." Jessica Lark briefly explained what happened, avoiding the main point and trying to excuse.
"My brothers ran out to find a doctor because they were worried about their father's condition. Lord Jeff wanted to treat them as escaped exiles..." The man in brocade clothes frowned, "Are you exiles?"
