The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 68

"You know what, you're right-I do belong here," Alex said, locking eyes with Florence." Anything else you need?"

Florence's lips twisted into a sneer. “In case that thick skull of yours hasn't figured it out, I'm insulting you, you worthless drifter."

"It's a free country, ma'am. You're welcome to say whatever you like." Alex shrugged lightly. " Doesn't mean I have to take offense."

"You pitiful excuse for a man," she spat. "Do you really think ignoring me keeps your dignity intact?"

"In my view, you're poorer than I am. Why should I feel insulted by someone who's not worth my time?"

"You're shameless," Florence hissed. "I wish you'd just disappear!"

His smile turned icy. "And I wish you a long life-to savor your bitterness even longer."

Florence's face flushed crimson.

Rising abruptly, she called out across the restaurant, "Owner! Is this how you treat paying customers? This man is insulting me!"

From the kitchen, Josephine slammed down a pan and marched over, her anger. She positioned herself beside Alex. "What's going on here?"

Alex looked genuinely puzzled. "What did I do?"

Florence smirked, thinking she'd gained the upper hand. "He's been nothing but disrespectful. I demand you handle this!"

Josephine sighed, a sly grin tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Oh, Alex, you're supposed to deal with this like so."

She grabbed a plate of fried rice and, without hesitation, dumped it onto Florence's expensive dress.

Florence gasped and stood, outrage twisting her features. "How dare you!"

Unfazed, Josephine grabbed a glass of water from a table and splashed it in Florence's face.

"Consider yourself warned. Now get out."
