Chapter 158 Even David’s aunt Diana’s and uncle Leslie’s families were shocked by what they saw, let alone Jude’s
family.
A Benz was already considered an extremely luxurious car in a place like Shu City.
They might not recognize Porsches or Ferraris, but they would definitely recognize a Benz or a BMW as
these two brands were luxury cars ingrained in their mind.
They did not expect David to drive such a car over. David’s ability to buy a house in River City felt less
unbelievable now.
“Get in, Aunt Diana!” David opened the door to the passenger seat for her.
“Dave! Is this your car?” Diana asked.
She still could not believe that David could afford such a luxury car.
“Yup!” David replied.
“How did you afford it?”
“Don’t worry about that, Aunt Diana. Just get in first! I’ll explain more when we get there. Aunt Sally and
her family already agreed to move to River City, so I arranged for your house to be in the same area.
Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything illegal!” David promised.
Diana did not ask more and got into the passenger seat of the Benz G-Class.
If David promised to explain later, then she would wait for him. Still, she was indeed worried that David’s
money had come from illicit affairs.
Alex, Judy, and Jude sat in the backseat while Jude’s parents drove their car, leaving David’s Uncle
Leslie and Aunt Lisa to stand by the side, not knowing what to do.
They wanted to sit in David’s luxury car and take a look at the house he prepared for Diana, but David
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdid not invite them, and they were not shameless enough to invite themselves.
Their relationship with David was not as good as his with Diana, since they were not given a share of
David’s parents’ two million dollar compensation.
Meanwhile, David got into the driver’s seat and ignored Leslie and his wife.
As far as he was concerned, Uncle Leslie and Aunt Lisa were strangers to him. Out of respect, his only
duty was to greet them whenever he saw them.
Only Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana had helped him when he was in need, so they were the only family he
would recognize.
Igniting the engine, he got ready to drive off.
Diana turned to Leslie who stood outside the car and told them, “You guys go home first, Leslie!”
Before Leslie could reply, David had already stepped on the accelerator and sped off.
The couple stood awkwardly in place. They once had the right to sit in that car.
Diana opened her mouth to say something on Leslie’s behalf, but nothing came out in the end.
David had already grown up. The man had his own thoughts and could tell the difference between
people who did and did not have his best interests in mind. There was no point in persuading him.
David gave his aunt Sally a call on the way to River City and told her that he was leaving with Aunt
Diana’s family.
David’s car led the way to River City as Jude’s parent’s followed behind.
It was already one in the afternoon when they left Shu City, so they only arrived at River City after seven.
David headed straight for Golden Leaf Hotel, having had his employees prepare a feast before he
arrived.
The group entered the hotel and were met with four beautiful receptionists bowing neatly in welcome.
Excluding David, everyone else felt rather unaccustomed.
Everyone was shocked by the gold and bright interior decorations of the hotel once they got in.
They were all from a small county, so they had never walked into an eight-star hotel before. There was
not even a three-star hotel in Shu City.
“Dave! What are we doing here?” Diana asked.
Everyone else looked at David as well.
They had come to River City to check out the house, so they did not understand why they were in a
luxury hotel instead.
“We’ve been sitting in the car for quite a few hours, Aunt Diana! I’m sure everyone is tired and hungry, so
let’s eat dinner first! I’ll bring you to the house after dinner,” David said.
“It must be expensive eating here, right? How about we eat somewhere else?” Diana suggested.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Diana. Let me arrange everything,” David assured.
Once again, Diana did not protest.
She realized David had changed a lot now that she saw him again. He was no longer the meek little boy
who could not make decisions.
She was relieved to see that David had grown up and become successful.
David and the others had just entered the grand hall of Golden Leaf Hotel when the new hotel manager
quickly came downstairs to welcome them.
She had just sent a group of VIPs to their rooms upstairs when she received notification of David’s
arrival. Thus, she quickly rushed downstairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr… Mr. Lidell! Welcome to Golden Leaf hotel! We’ve already prepared the dinner your preordered,
please come with me!” The pretty manager told David.
She was about to give him the welcome of a chairman, but immediately changed her greeting to that of a
mere patron when she met David’s eyes.
David and the other followed the manager to a private room prepared especially for him.
The manager opened the door for them, and the others followed David inside.
Diana’s and Jude’s family were stunned by the view inside the private room.
The huge table before them was filled with exquisite delicacies, while the steam from the freshly cooked
dishes filled the room.
The huge lobster and king crab were the most eye-catching dishes. There were also all kinds of dishes
that they did not recognize. Everything looked delicious and much classier than what they would see on
television.
Those two families were already starving to begin with, and they could not help but salivate at the food.
David pulled out a chair for Aunt Diana first before he ushered everyone else to sit.
Everyone still felt overly aware of their behavior after sitting. They only grabbed their cutleries after David
helped Diana to a few dishes and started eating himself.
Instead of eating, the youths; Jude, his cousin sister, and Judy, took their phones out to post a picture of
the dishes on social media first.
They would not miss an opportunity like this to show off.
Soon later, their pictures received the exclamations of their friends. There were all sorts of comments,
mainly of envy or jealousy.
No one was able to reject such good food, except perhaps people with eating disorders. The reactions of
their friends thus satisfied their vain desires.
Judy’s post consisted of a few pictures and the caption, “Enthusiastic hospitality from my cousin!”
