Chapter 226 How to Pay?
Tilda and the others headed upstairs.
At the same time, more guests showed up at Granny’s Fondue House.
“Jack swore this place has the best cheese fondue. Even the high-end restaurants can’t compare. Kyla, I know you’re crazy about cheese, so I brought you here.”
“Thanks, Preston.”
Kyla smiled brightly at him.
He reached out and ruffled her hair. “You must be starving. You look worn out. Let’s get some food.”
“Okay.”
But honestly, Kyla didn’t look off because she was hungry. It was because when she went back to Jenson Villa earlier, something felt wrong. The whole place gave off a strange vibe she couldn’t explain. It felt like something had gone down behind her back.
Howard locked himself in his room. Wade kept dodging her. Dominic and Russell both went to the company. Blair was missing as well.
For the first time, Kyla noticed that the Jenson Villa no longer carried the laughter, joy, or warmth she had always known. Now it felt cold and hollow, nothing like a home anymore.
And it was all because of that bitch, Tilda! If Tilda didn’t exist, the Jensons would still treat Kyla like a princess, making her the girl everyone envied.
Kyla thought of the evidence in her hands and gave a cold smile. Tilda, your little glory days are coming to an end. You don’t even know I’ve already started setting up my plan. I’ll drag you down so far that you’ll never climb back out!
Tilda had no clue Preston and Kyla were downstairs.

She guided Jude and the others to the open-air fondue tables on the second floor.
“This place is super lively. Sure, the private rooms have AC, but it kills the vibe. Out here you can enjoy the breeze, look at the lights, and eat fondue–it’s perfect, right?”
Luckily, it was autumn. The night air was cool. If it were summer, sitting out here eating cheese fondue would be torture.
Jude lowered his gaze, his voice soft, filled with warmth. “As long as you’re happy.”
“Hey, Una! It’s been a while,” Maurice grinned at her.
Her brows twitched. “Uh… Mr. Rowse, could you please stop calling me like I’m a kid? It’s embarrassing.”
“No way, I think it’s cute.” Maurice even reached out and patted her head.
She was speechless. Great. Now I look even more like a kid.
“Alright, food is here. Let’s eat. Try this juice first–it’s perfect. Here’s the menu. Una and I ordered two broths already, one spicy and one mild, in case someone can’t handle heat. Lots of meat choices. Just pick what you want and scan the QR code on the table to order more.”
Tilda explained everything patiently.
But Jude, Alfie, and Maurice just stared at her, looking confused.
Una couldn’t resist teasing. “Wait, don’t tell me you guys don’t know how this works?”
Alfie cleared his throat. “Honestly, no clue. How about you, Maurice?”
“Me? Of course I know! Just scan it, right?” Maurice tried to play it smooth, pulled out his phone, and quickly scanned the QR code. “Huh? Why’s it not working?”
Una leaned over. “Did you not even verify your account? Wow, seriously? Are you from another planet? No verification, no payment.”
Maurice muttered, “… I’ve only ever used cards.”
Una was speechless. Damn rich people!

Alfie was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt. “Oh man, Maurice, you tried to show off and totally flopped.”
“Shut up.” Maurice stomped on Alfie’s foot.
Alfie yelped, his face twisting in pain, turning red.
Una burst out laughing.
Watching those two mess around was way more fun than expected. They were supposed to be the untouchable heirs, completely out of reach for regular folks. Even though Una’s family owned a business in Slosa, her family was nothing compared to the Woodward Group and Rowse Group.
The two future heirs of powerful families were now arguing like ordinary folks, struggling just to figure out how to pay with a QR code. It was kinda cute.
Tilda teased, “If people saw the heirs of Woodward Group and Rowse Group acting like this at a fondue house, it’d be breaking news. You guys don’t even know how to scan a code? How pampered can you get?”
