Slater was in a panic: "What the heck are you doing?! You believe I can sue you for invasion of privacy?!"

Mamie retorted, "Public place, legitimate evidence gathering. Sue all you want, but I'm just a concerned citizen here, thank you very much."

"You-you guys-" Slater was fuming.

Sybil, seeing Mamie was seriously filming with her phone, couldn't help frowning: "Slater, are you out of your mind?"

Slater was like, "What the fuck?"

"If you don't know, then don't talk nonsense. We're splitting the bill here, fair and square. No expenses for you to claim. Now, move it, let's eat and head back to school!" Slater, resentful, shot a menacing glare at Roseanne and the others before walking away.

Arkle, however, didn't move, caught up in the thought of splitting the bill...

"Sorry, I just remembered something urgent. I gotta go, enjoy your meal!"

With that, he dashed off faster than a rabbit.

Slater scoffed: "Country bumpkin! Just afraid of spending money!"

Sybil dismissed it: "Let him be."
