Chapter 4: Serving the Dishes

At breakfast, Daisy, William, and Abigail were already seated at the Fisher family's enormous, lavish dining table.

The table, with its intricate floral carvings and gilded edges, was draped with a pristine white tablecloth. Dozens of porcelain plates displayed a stunning array of gourmet dishes.

Margaret stood by her seat, adjusting the chair but did not sit down. Her plate was covered with an iron lid, waiting for her to unveil it. She glanced at Daisy, who was sitting at the head of the table directly opposite her, casually wiping her mouth with a napkin, pretending not to notice Margaret.

The current seating arrangement had a courtroom-like atmosphere, with Margaret's seat undoubtedly being the "defendant's chair" in this trial.

With firm resolve, Margaret finally took her seat.

William, observing her, felt a growing respect for this seemingly fragile girl.

Margaret discreetly observed the food on the table in front of her.

A stack of hundred-dollar bills was placed on the side of the white porcelain plate, just hidden by a sandwich, visible only to the person sitting in her seat.

Margaret's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of disdain at the transparent gesture to bribe or belittle her.

At this moment, Daisy slowly spoke, "Here is ten thousand dollars. Leave Ravenford and go back to the countryside."

Margaret glanced at Daisy and said calmly, "It's barely enough to fill my stomach with breakfast."

Daisy's brow furrowed, and she continued. "I don't know your relationship with my dad or why he chose you for William. But as William's mother, I won't let a country girl marry into the Fisher family. Eat up and leave as soon as you can."

With a wave of Daisy's hand, a servant immediately brought a tray to Margaret's side.

Margaret lifted the lid to find ten stacks of hundred-dollar bills and totaling one hundred thousand dollars.

Margaret smiled. "Mrs. Fisher, I have a good appetite today. Please continue serving."

Daisy gritted her teeth and waved her hand again, and the servant brought another tray to Margaret's side.

Seeing this, Margaret somehow produced a large suitcase and stuffed all the hundred-dollar bills into it. As the twentieth tray of cash was brought out, Daisy's expression became very unpleasant.

Daisy said, "Don't be too greedy! Two million dollars is enough for a country bumpkin like you to live comfortably for a lifetime!"

Margaret pretended to touch her stomach and said, "My stomach is still empty. Please continue serving until I'm full."

Daisy was about to lose her temper and slammed the table.

"You!"

Before Daisy could utter a curse, William stopped her.

"Enough, stop this nonsense! Margaret, report to the CEO's secretary office at the Fisher Group tomorrow."

William spoke calmly. He was still spreading caviar on toast and adding a fried egg and bacon to make a simple sandwich, which he quickly finished.

He placed the sandwich on a plate and handed it to Margaret before turning to leave.

Margaret, while chewing the sandwich, mocked Daisy. "I really thought the Fisher family filled their stomachs with cash! I can't do that; I'm just a country bumpkin, and sandwiches suit my taste better!"

With that, Margaret ate the sandwich with one hand and carried a suitcase full of hundred-dollar bills with the other, swaggering away from the table. Daisy, left behind, glared daggers at her, her eyes sharp with frustration, as if wishing they could cut through Margaret.

As soon as Margaret left, her phone buzzed with a notification. A bank transfer of fifty million dollars had been completed, and her account now boasted a string of zeros.

Then Margaret received a text message from Xavier: [Sweetheart, take care of yourself. Eat whatever you want and buy whatever you like. If anyone bullies you, let me know."

Margaret smirked and replied: [Grandpa, the Fisher family is bullying me. This isn't fun at all.]

Xavier quickly responded: [It's rare to find someone who actually dares to bully you. Hmm, not bad. Alright, I'm going fishing.]

Margaret felt speechless.
