RedNovelChapter 868: She flipped through the menu, her expression turning to shock. The lowest-priced dish, a plate of spaghetti, cost a thousand dollars. Everything else was in the thousands, seven more.
"Are they serious? For a thousand dollars, I could buy a lot of things. The spaghetti here is too expensive. Oh, this dish looks tasty, but it's eighteen thousand a plate. This one's good too, but it's also very expensive." After flipping through every page, Lilith just couldn't bring herself to make a decision. The luxury felt excessive, so she passed the menu over to Brenna, allowing her to order for her.
Brenna chose exactly what Lilith had pointed out earlier.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce they placed their order, Brenna's attention was drawn to a mysterious figure sitting in the corner. The woman, dressed entirely in black and hiding beneath a wide-brimmed hat, was eating spaghetti.
"That's Minna, isn't it?" Brenna murmured. Both Lilith and Ellie turned to look at the woman.
Recognition flashed across Lilith's face. "She's all anyone in Shirie is talking about these days. After all that , she still dares to go out?" Patrick spoke up. “It looks like she's waiting for someone." Just then, several people entered the restaurant. They were also disguised, with one wearing a navy blue hooded woolen coat, a hat, a mask, and sunglasses. While most people wouldn't have recognized the individual, Brenna instantly knew who it was. It was Elsa. With a sideways glance, Elsa spotted Brenna but chose to pretend she hadn't seen her, assuming Brenna wouldn't recognize her. Elsa walked past Brenna's table and slid into the seat across from Minna.
"Take a look in that corner," Lilith said, her eyes narrowing as she noticed something unusual at the edge of the restaurant. Without needing to gesture, she silently directed Brenna's and Patrick's attention. Both followed her gaze, quickly spotting a couple in the dimly lit area-Minna's parents, who seemed to be staring directly back at them.
A sly grin tugged at Lilith's lips as she leaned toward Brenna. "This is getting good," she whispered, a hint of gossip in her tone.
"Minna, why did you choose this place? You could've picked somewhere with more privacy." Hidden behind a hat, dark glasses, and a face mask, Elsa had cprepared to keep her identity under wraps. Public attention was the last thing she wanted now.

Disgust had long replaced any lingering respect Minna had once had for Elsa. "Scared for people to see your true colors?" Minna said, her tone frosty.

"That's no way to speak to your elders. Have you forgotten everything you were taught about respect?m Minna, you weren't always this way. There was a twhen you treatedwith respect." Disappointment colored Elsa's expression as she looked at Minna.
