Mrs. Lewis quickly chimed in, “Jeff, I appreciate your kind gesture, but we really don’t need to go to such an upscale restaurant to celebrate my recovery. It’s just too pricey!”


    She added, “Honestly, it’s just a meal. I can whip something up for everyone, and we could just eat at the orphanage. This way, you can save your money for other things. Please don’t spend it on me; it’s simply not worth it…”


    Having always been frugal, Mrs. Lewis had never dined at a luxurious venue before, and the thought of dining somewhere so expensive made her feel uneasy.


    However, Jeff smiled and replied, “Mrs. Lewis, please don’t say that. You’ve raised us, and it’s time for us to show our gratitude. Plus, I won’t be covering the entire bill alone; I’ll share it with the others!”


    Noticing Mrs. Lewis’s reluctance, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, it won’t break the bank. The Hyatt Hotel is a client of mypany, and I can get some discounts, so it will only cost a few hundred dors for the meal!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Everyone felt relieved upon hearing this. Indeed, a few hundred dors was manageable, allowing them to rx.


    Additionally, if they could enjoy a luxurious five-star hotel experience for a small amount of money, it seemed entirely worthwhile.


    Still somewhat hesitant, Mrs. Lewis nced at the clock and noticed it was already 6 o’clock. Jeff urged, “Mrs. Lewis, we really should get going. Other ces might be fully booked by now.”


    Mrs. Lewis surveyed the group. It was rare for all of them to be together, and it would be disappointing if they missed out on the opportunity to dine as a group.<fnd391> Official source is find·novel</fnd391>


    Ultimately, she couldn’t resist Jeff’s infectious enthusiasm and agreed, “Alright then, let’s head to the Hyatt.”


    Jeff beamed with triumph and said, “Great! Let’s go now.”


    One person inquired, “Hey, we have quite a few of us here—how are we getting there?”


    With a smile, Jeff replied, “My car can amodate four more. Mrs. Lewis can ride with me, along with Lisa and two others.”


    Then, he looked over at Charlie with a yful grin, “Charlie, would you and your wife like to join us in my car? She deserves afortable ride in either a Mercedes or a BMW, not on a bus!”


    Charlie smiled softly and replied, “Thanks, but we drove here.”


    “Oh, really?” Jeff eximed with mock surprise, “Aren’t you a househusband? How did you manage to get a car? Is it an Alto or a Charade?”


    Charlie calmly pulled out his BMW car key and pressed the unlock button. The yellow lights on the BMW 760 parked nearby blinked twice.


    Everyone turned to where he pointed, staring in disbelief as they realized he had just unlocked a BMW.


    The young adults from the orphanage, who could only afford modest jobs, were already in awe of Jeff’s Mercedes-Benz, considering it their ultimate aspiration. They never imagined Charlie would drive a BMW.


    Jeff felt a surge of indignation. He had expected to be the center of attention with his Mercedes, but now, seeing that BMW, he felt uneasy and out of ce.


    He had thought he was the only one among his orphanage friends capable of owning such a prestigious car, but suddenly Charlie had appeared with his BMW!


    Jeff scrutinized Charlie’s vehicle anxiously and finally rxed with a coy grin when he noticed the ‘520’ badge on the back of the car.
