Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 152

Harriet’s expression instantly soured at those words.

Effie, that shameless flirt—of course she knew how to wrap men around her finger. And now even Granger was speaking up for her.

An awkward tension settled over the private dining room.

Magee, their class president, hurried to break the silence. “Right, let’s not get worked up. Come on, everyone, let’s have a drink! Enough talking, let’s enjoy ourselves.”

Just then, the door swung open again.

A group of servers entered.

One of them carried an expensive-looking bottle of red wine, presenting it with a respectful nod. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is an ’82 Lafite. Please enjoy.”

Another server stepped forward. “Here we have fresh Australian lobster. Bon appétit.”

A third placed a steaming casserole on the table. “And this is our house specialty, a slow-braised delicacy…”

The servers set down platter after platter of lavish food before making a graceful exit.

For a moment, the room fell silent as everyone stared in disbelief.

What on earth…?

All eyes turned to Magee.

He quickly shook his head. “No, I didn’t order any of this.”

After all, this was just a class reunion—most of them working regular jobs. Who would splurge on food like this?

Now everyone glanced at Granger. After all, he was the son of the wealthy Morgan family; if anyone might have done it, it would be him.

But Granger shook his head too. “I thought about ordering some things, but I hadn’t even called the server yet. And now all this is here?”

Magee frowned, puzzled. How could this be? Did the servers bring the dishes to the wrong room? Maybe they belonged to the party next door?

With that thought, Magee quickly called over a server to ask.

The server smiled politely. “Sir, these dishes were indeed ordered for your room. They were specially requested by Mr. Etheridge’s assistant, and I should mention—your bill has already been paid.”
