Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 520 – What a Coincidence, Isn’t It?

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: What a Coincidence, Isn’t It?

“We need to calculate, there are so many people here, we definitely need to come up with a satisfactory compensation for everyone. However, each person’s expected compensation is different, and we have to satisfy everyone while also ensuring that our restaurant can afford it.”

“These matters are quite complicated,” Wendy Clarke said, “We can’t solve them today, and everyone can’t stay here forever, right?”

Wendy Clarke’s comforting smile: “So, let’s all go back for today. We’ll sort out the restaurant’s internal matters and contact you as soon as possible.”

“When will you contact us? Tomorrow? The day after? You say ‘as soon as possible,’ but there’s no specific deadline.” The woman spoke again, “Or are you just trying to delay us? You tell us to wait, and then we naïvely wait for your message. And then you never contact us.”

“As time goes on, things quiet down, and when we come back to you, your restaurant won’t own up to it, pretending nothing ever happened, and we become the ones trying to extort money!” The woman said.

Wendy Clarke hesitated.

What kind of people are these today?

It seems like her earlier suspicions were correct.

Are there people who arranged this, specifically targeting her for trouble?

If not, why is everyone being so clear-headed?

And not falling into her trap at all!

Her earlier good attitude and promise of compensation were meant to appease everyone and get them to leave.

Once time passed and this incident was no longer fresh, except for the people directly involved, few would remember what happened at the restaurant.

Then, when these customers returned, the prime time for seeking compensation would be long gone.

No matter how much they stall, it’s still up to them, isn’t it?

Dragging things out will wear these people down eventually.

However, now her thoughts were once again called out by someone directly.

Wendy Clarke was really starting to lose her cool.

“How could that be?” Wendy Clarke said stiffly, “No, our restaurant has been in Nork City for four years. We’re quite a well-known establishment, and since this is our restaurant’s mistake, we’ll definitely take responsibility and won’t brush you off.”

“Who knows!” someone said, “Your high-end restaurant can even have rats, what else can’t it have?”

Wendy Clarke: “…”

“Exactly!”

“You’re right!”

“You must give us a definite answer!”

“Not willing to set a deadline, must be because you’re trying to stall us!”

At this point, the man who had earlier reminded everyone to stick together and not be divided, pulled a box of business cards from his suit pocket.

He handed them out one by one to the customers present.

“Coincidentally, I happen to be a lawyer.” The man smiled as he spoke.

Someone exclaimed, “Oh, it’s that famous law firm from Belfard!”

“You even know that?”

“Mainly because I pay attention to entertainment news. Remember that first-tier actress Yvette Hughes, who was involved in some fraud case? She hired this law firm. I usually love gossip, so I just took a look.”

The lawyer laughed and said, “I just happened to be in Nork City to meet a client and handle a case. I heard this restaurant was quite famous here, so I wanted to give it a try. Who would have thought that on my first visit, I’d encounter such an incident.”

“Oh, well, don’t let this give you a bad impression of our Nork City,” someone immediately said, “It’s all this restaurant’s fault, we won’t take the blame.”

“Of course.” Harrington Lawrence, the lawyer, smiled graciously and nodded, “From our previous interactions, I can tell that you all are very reasonable, talkative, and warm-hearted people. I also see that you have a strong legal awareness, which is excellent because it means you’re less likely to be taken advantage of.”

“This incident is quite severe. As you’ve all said, this restaurant is expensive and charges high service fees, yet it failed to provide services that match its prices.” Harrington Lawrence said.

“By services, I mean not only the attentive service provided by the wait staff, but also the sanitary conditions that ensure we can dine with peace of mind,” Harrington Lawrence continued.

“Seeing that rat during our meal today has caused me a great deal of psychological trauma. For a long time, I won’t be able to forget that scene. It was truly disgusting.” Harrington Lawrence looked like he was about to vomit.

Other customers had already prepared themselves mentally and had almost forgotten that scene.

But now, with Harrington Lawrence’s words, they suddenly recalled it.

A lot of customers’ faces turned pale, and they looked as if they were about to vomit.

Wendy Clarke: “…”

“Everyone, let’s get back to the point,” Harrington Lawrence continued, “Since I’m also a victim in this case, I’m willing to offer you legal support and assistance at no cost.”

“From now on, we’re all in this together,” Harrington Lawrence said, “I can become your pro bono representative. Of course, if any of you have your own ideas and don’t want me to represent you, don’t want us all to band together, want to go it alone, you can choose not to participate and leave our group. It’s okay.”

“Wow! Harrington Lawrence is offering to be our pro bono lawyer? You’re a famous lawyer in Capital City! Usually, people have to line up to hire you as their representative. And now you’re offering to represent us for free, which is an opportunity we couldn’t get even if we begged. I don’t know about the others, but I’m definitely in. With Harrington Lawrence here, I won’t be at a loss.”

“Yes, me too. Leaving now would be truly ungrateful,” someone else chimed in.

“Please don’t say that, don’t say that, everyone has their own ideas,” Harrington Lawrence smiled and advised them.

“Mr. Harrington Lawrence, you’re a professional, I trust you! Whatever you say, I’ll do it!”

One by one, the customers expressed their opinions. As expected, everyone agreed to have Harrington Lawrence represent them.

“Thank you, Harrington Lawrence!” Some people had already started thanking him.

Wendy Clarke: “…”

Do these people think she’s invisible?

Calculating her money right in front of her, do they think she’s that easy to bully?

They can hire a lawyer, but she can’t?

What does being famous matter?

Who doesn’t have the money to hire a famous lawyer?

In that case, she would be even less willing to compensate these people!

At least, not according to their wishes and allow them to get a high compensation!

At this moment, they heard Harrington Lawrence say, “You don’t need to thank me. After all, I’m a victim too, so whether I claim compensation for myself or for everyone here, it’s all the same.”

“As I said before, there’s strength in numbers, and we’ll likely be more successful if we work together rather than individually,” Harrington Lawrence said, “Rest assured, since I’m personally seeking compensation as well, I guarantee you that we will all be compensated equally.”
