Chapter 1490: Threatened by a Chef

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1490: Threatened by a Chef

After greeting Xaviera Evans, the young man at the reception only spoke to Caleb Mamet, proving that in the eyes of this waiter, Xaviera’s status was more noble than Caleb’s.

Xaviera crossed her arms and looked coldly at the two, "Madam Powell jumped to conclusions without understanding the situation and claimed that I was the reason you were denied entry. If it were really because of me, why didn’t Fragrant House stop me but only stopped you?"

As the words were spoken, a middle-aged man in a chef’s outfit walked out of Fragrant House.

He was Chasel Hoffman, the disciple of master chef Alvin Swantz. When he saw Xaviera standing at the entrance, he immediately approached her with a surprised and joyful expression, "Miss Evans, why didn’t you go in? I just finished making a few new dishes, they are still hot! We’ve already placed them in the private room!"

Upon hearing this, Robert Powell’s eyes widened in surprise. How could a disciple of a master chef be so respectful to Xaviera?

Only then did Chasel Hoffman realize that there was something wrong with the atmosphere and asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss Evans, what happened?"

Xaviera smiled at him, "It’s not a big deal. Some people suspect that I offended the owner of Fragrant House. What do you think?"

Chasel Hoffman was stunned and responded loudly with spirit, "Of course not! The boss would be more than happy to have you dine at Fragrant House. How could you possibly offend our boss? Who dares to spread such rumors behind your back? I will tell the boss right away and let him handle this!"

Xaviera raised an eyebrow, looking at Robert Powell.

For a moment, Robert Powell panicked. He held a high status and was highly respected in Romulan City, but now he was threatened by a chef in Libanan.

Madam Powell also came to her senses, her eyes bloodshot with anger, she yelled, "Xaviera! Who are you fooling? This man must be..."

Xaviera lifted her chin, "This old lady insisted that I offended the owner of Fragrant House and caused their situation."

Chasel Hoffman glanced at Robert Powell and Madam Powell and immediately understood, "You two must be Mr. Robert Powell and Cora Gar, right?"

The crowd sensed something unusual and grew curious.

With a knowing expression, Chasel Hoffman’s gaze became more disdainful, "In fact, not only these two are blacklisted by Fragrant House, but also our boss has issued an order that no one from the Powell family is allowed to enter Fragrant House. You all know what you have done, so don’t bother Miss Evans!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd grew even more curious. Someone couldn’t help but ask, "What did they do to make the owner of Fragrant House loathe them so much?"

"Madam Powell scolded Miss Evans when they first met, so their quality is not that great! Maybe they did something wrong and didn’t dare to admit it, so they deliberately framed Miss Evans!"

Madam Powell’s face turned green with anger. She had never been so slandered before. She screamed at the crowd, "Shut up! I just arrived in Libanan today, there is no way I could have offended the owner of Fragrant House!"

Chasel Hoffman scoffed, "I’m just a chef, but I know this much. However... instead of making things difficult for Miss Evans, Madam Powell, why don’t you go home and ask your daughter Quinn Powell? She might know everything!"

Everyone immediately understood upon hearing his words. The person who really offended the owner of Fragrant House was Quinn!

Robert Powell and Madam Powell’s faces changed drastically, and their previous arrogance faded. How is this related to Quinn?

With a complicated expression on her face, Madam Powell couldn’t bear the crowd’s contemptuous gaze, "You’re talking nonsense! Quinn is sickly and rarely goes out. Besides, she’s kind-hearted and would never offend..."

"Mother! Stop talking!" Feeling the situation was not in their favor, Robert Powell quickly interrupted Madam Powell’s words. He then walked up to Xaviera and spoke softly, "Xaviera, your grandmother just acted impulsively. After all, she is your elder, so don’t take it to heart."

Xaviera glanced at him indifferently, while the cold voice of Caleb Mamet spoke from the side, "As a senior, she should set an example. Madam Powell insulted Xaviera at their very first meeting, and now that she knows it’s a misunderstanding, she still wants to force Xaviera to forgive?"

"Mr. Powell, I’ve told you before, if you don’t care about Xaviera, we can act like strangers and have no more contact. After all, even without the Powell family, she still has me, her husband, to dote on her."

Robert Powell kept his eyes down, looking somewhat flustered. He hurried to defend himself, "Mr. Mamet, it’s just a misunderstanding..."

"Mr. Mamet, what’s the point of talking to them? Please take Mrs. Mamet away!" Someone from the side couldn’t stand it any longer and interrupted Robert Powell’s words.
