After spersuasion, Roxanne reluctantly agreed, though she was clearly unhappy about it. With Matthew
present, she couldn't very well lose her temper. It was important to maintain her feminine image, so she glanced
gratefully at Eleanor. Tritus also realized that he couldn't directly confront Matthew with Roxanne around, as it
would only make her angrier. So, he had to take a more patient approach. "Mr. Larson, I'm sorry. Sometimes
when | care too much about someone, | becover-anxious."
After a false apology to Matthew, Tritus quickly extended an invitation. "Roxanne, haven't you been wanting to
treat Mr. Larson to a meal? It's already too late to go anywhere else, so why don't you dine here with us? What
do you think, Mr. Larson?"
His tone carried a hint of menace, but Matthew shrugged off the veiled threat. In Bainbridge, even the most
arrogant person wouldn't dare to mobilize a large number of people. Moreover, they were currently preparing for
the Holy Doctor Competition, and any potential threat to public security would be severely punished. No matter
how powerful the family was, it was nothing compared to the country's dignity.
"I don't mind, but I'm curious. Wasn't Miss Bane wanting to treatto a meal just something betweenand

did someone tell you about this?"
As soon as those words cout, Tritus was speechless. Meanwhile, Roxanne was already flustered by the
confession from Tritus she had heard earlier. With Matthew's remarks, she suddenly understood. How could Tritus
know about her improving health and her dinner invitation to Matthew? Someone must have leaked the
information.
She turned her head and glanced at Eleanor, who immediately looked awkward and lowered her head. Eleanor
was cursing Matthew in her heart, Damn you and your devious intention of trying to drive a wedge between
Roxanne and me. She didn't feel an ounce of guilt for her actions.
"How about we go to another restaurant, Mr. Larson?" Although Roxanne was doing her best to suppress her
irritation, it was clear to everyone that she was extremely upset. But when she spoke, Eleanor immediately
panicked. After all, it was not easy to conspire with Tritus. If they missed this opportunity, they might not have
another chance.
"It's my fault, Roxy. | accidentally let it slip. We've already ordered food here, so it's a waste not to eat it all. If we
go to another restaurant now, there might not be any seats available. Plus, Mr. Larson is preparing for the
competition, and it would be a waste of his tto go back and forth, right?"
Compared to Tritus, Eleanor was much smarter. Although she was unwilling to, she still brought up Matthew to
divert Roxanne's attention. Sure enough, when Matthew was mentioned, Roxanne's expression softened.
"Miss Bane, why don't we just have a simple meal here?" Matthew could see through Eleanor's little trick and
didn't want to trouble Roxanne. The sooner they finished eating, the sooner they could go home, and the issue of
his request would have to wait.
After Roxanne nodded, Tritus took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. Then, he clapped his hands and said,
"Please bring out the food, Manager."
Since they had ordered in advance and reserved the restaurant, the food was served quickly. By the tthey all
sat down, the dishes had already been placed on the table. Although Tritus was impulsive, he wasn't stupid. Any
obvious hostility toward Matthew would only provoke Roxanne's displeasure. Tritus had stopped using his foolish
ways, so he said, "Mr. Larson, what happened earlier was my fault. I'm really sorry. To show my apology, I'll drink
as a punishment."
After speaking in a cheerful tone, Tritus lifted his head and gulped down the wine in his glass. Then, he poured
himself smore wine.
