Chapter 524:
Bella’s eyes lit up. She finally found a chance to counter Yelena.
Bella said to Yelena, “You’re not aware, Yelena, but Mom actually dislikes duck p>
Caught off guard, Yelena simply responded, “Oh,” realizing that Donna might share her aversion to duck.
Donna, with a smile, reassured her, “I’m not a fan, but I’m willing to try it if Yelena recommends it p>
Despite her usual distaste for duck, Donna was open to trying a few bites.
Yelena added, “I’m also not keen on duck, but this one changed my mind. It’s irresistible p>
After hearing Yelena’s recommendation, Donna’s curiosity was piqued. She grabbed a slice and gave it a try. Although Bella was eager to witness Yelena’s embarrassment, Donna’s expression shifted to one of joy instead. After polishing off the duck, she said, “Hmm, the skin is crispy, yet the meat is surprisingly soft and juicy. It tastes incredible p>
Despite her skepticism, Bella decided to try a piece as well. She planned to express her disdain but found herself enjoying every bite instead.
The flavor completely surprised Bella; she had never tasted duck so exquisite! Rich, crispy, and packed with flavor!
“Well… it’s alright,” Bella said, but her comment went unnoticed as everyone else was too engaged in their feast.
Bella chose to remain silent. She figured she might as well eat quickly before the best portions were all taken.
Once they had finished dining and left the private dining area, Rodney showed up and inquired, “How was the meal p>
Callum replied, “Indeed, the flavor was remarkable. Have you ever considered taking on the role of head chef at my hotel p>
It was clear to everyone what Callum was hinting at. He believed that having Rodney on board would definitely boost his hotel’s business.

Rodney let out a laugh; he had been approached by many over the years. He could have joined Austin’s team anytime if he had wanted to. However, was Rodney someone who liked being tied down? Obviously not!
Rodney chose not to dismiss Callum’s offer outright to spare his feelings. “I value my freedom too much to work under someone else. That’s why I run my own little place. Feel free to drop by whenever you like though. Just give me a call, and I’ll have everything set up for you p>
Callum caught the drift of Rodney’s polite refusal and responded with a knowing smile, “Alright, I get it. Should you ever reconsider, just let me know p>
Rodney didn’t say no, but simply responded, “Sure p>
After they departed, Donna was still relishing the moments spent in the restaurant. She exclaimed, “This is the first time I’ve discovered such a fantastic restaurant in Eighfast. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were exceptional. I can hardly wait for my next visit p>
While Elianna shared her enthusiasm, she couldn’t stand seeing Donna so content and mockingly retorted, “You’re acting as though you haven’t eaten anything decent. I see nothing too special about it anyway p>
A subtle shift appeared on Donna’s face, yet soon after, she felt warmth spread through her hand. She glanced sideways to find Callum grasping her hand, offering her a reassuring smile.
At the same moment, Donna noticed a gentle pressure on her other hand—it was Yelena holding it.
With both her husband and her daughter by her side, Donna’s spirits lifted, and she no longer felt intimidated by Elianna.
On Monday, Yelena decided it was the perfect day to meet with Neil’s homeroom teacher while the school was bustling with students.
As Neil stepped in, the teacher’s face contorted with surprise. “What brings you here again? Weren’t you expelled? How dare you come back p>
