Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 197

Even after knowing Johan for so long, this was the first time lan had seen him this furious.

From what lan remembered, Johan wasn’t much of a talker, but he was always sincere.

After all, someone who could make such delicious food couldn’t be all that bad,

lan had caught a vague snippet of the conversation carlier and heard something about releasing live ingredients, which sounded absolutely ridiculous to him.

The shouting continued, and the owner was clearly enraged as he scolded, “Crying won’t fix anything!

“Where exactly did you release that snake? If you bring it back now, it might still be in time!”

Outside, the two adults watching the commotion fell silent, while the younger one seemed confused, still a bit dazed.

They thought, ‘Releasing a snake?

Dare to release this? Who in their right mind would do that?‘

In the back kitchen, two middle–aged chefs in uniforms hurried out.

Whether they were escaping the conflict or retrieving ingredients was unclear.

When they spotted Ian, their eyes lit up like they had seen their savior.

“Mr. Holmes, you arrived at just the right time!” one of the chefs exclaimed in relief.

Ian, curious, asked, “What’s going on inside? Why is Mr. Watons so angry?”

The two chefs exchanged looks, their expressions a mix of frustration and disbelief. Since lan was practically one of their own, they couldn’t help but vent their grievances.

They shared, “Our boss’s wife, Joanne, went out alone and fainted a while ago. A young girl passing by called an ambulance and helped her. In gratitude, Joanne asked if she wanted any kind of reward. At first, the girl refused, but after learning Joanne’s identity, she asked for a job at Ferry House.”

So far, everything seemed reasonable and understandable.

A restaurant like Ferry House had a strict hiring process, but since this girl had saved the boss’s wife, they made an exception and gave her a cleaning job.

But the little girl saved the boss, so she made an exception to give her a cleaning job.

Her working hours were from midnight to three in the morning after all the customers had left, so she wouldn’t interfere with anyone.

Her salary was the same as the other cleaners. Apart from the late–night shift, everything was perfectly fair.

However, last night, before the chefs left, they had placed the pre–prepared ingredients in the storage area, intending to handle them in the morning.

But when they arrived today, the storage area was completely empty. The live ingredients they had ordered in advance were all gone.

Alarmed, they immediately checked the security footage.
