"To gain entry into the backend system would require the CEO and two vice presidents to enter their individual passwords simultaneously during a board eting."
Hearing this, Tina finally seed to understand.
She flashed a mocking smile and, with a condescending glance at Yana and Ryan, sneered viciously, "Keep acting—why not go on with the show?"
"Go ahead and swipe it! If you dare dine and dash, I'll have both of you sent to jail!"
Kaiden was utterly exhilarated.
Fueled by alcohol, the usually reserved Ryan stood up. Looking at the goddess he had admired for so long, a sense of sadness washed over him.
Comparing this with Yana's tenderness, his mixed feelings gradually dissipated, and in their place rose an undeniable urge to make a bold statent.
"Yana, sign a tip slip for Thea as a reward—make it 20,000."
This casual remark left everyone montarily stunned. Thea, in particular, was completely incredulous.
"Haha! A 20,000 tip? Look at this idiot—he's lost his mind!"
"To say sothing like that out loud, Ryan, you're shaless!"
Tina added mockingly, "I used to think you were honest, but I didn't expect you to spout such nonsense."
"After this, there's no way I'd ever give you a second chance."
Yana snapped out of her initial surprise and gave a charming smile. Without hesitation, she picked up the tip slip and signed it—clear as day, the amount read 20,000 dollars.
"Is this for real, Mr. Ryan?"
Thea face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Swipe it!"
Ryan nodded casually and smiled. "We're very satisfied with your service tonight."
Tina looked at Thea with contempt and said, "Still putting on this act? Your acting is so clumsy. After all this talk, you still don't dare to swipe the card."
"How about Kaiden and I leave first, to save you so face? It'd be less embarrassing than being hauled off in a police car."
Seeing her smug expression, Thea, now fully recovered from her shock, hurriedly keyed in the amount and swiped the card, fearing Yana might change her mind.
"Beep... Paynt successful for our esteed Diamond mber."
"Amount received: 110,000 dollars. Paynt has been recorded by the finance departnt."
The voice wasn't loud—more like a gentle announcent—but in that mont, the room fell into a dead silence, the air almost frozen.
"Brother Ryan, let's go!"
Yana affectionately intertwined her fingers with Ryan as they left. As she passed the dumbfounded Tina, she deliberately bumped into her, adding a provocative touch to her triumph.
"This is impossible... Impossible!!!"
Tina stood there like a statue, mumbling to herself in disbelief.
Thea escorted the couple all the way to the elevator.
Kaiden, now red with anger, grabbed the staff mber who had processed the paynt and yelled, "Get your boss here imdiately! The machine must be malfunctioning."
"Hundred and Ten Thousand! A full Hundred and Ten Thousand... How could they possibly afford that?"
The server, who happened to have pocketed a 1,000 dollar tip, pulled Kaiden hand off and snapped back, eting Tina's vacant gaze with disdain.
"Sir, just because you can't afford it doesn't an others can't."
"This Miss Yana is currently the top-spending guest at our Domina Hotel, having recharged 1 million earlier today in the hotel lobby."
"You can confirm this with your father. The entire hotel staff knows about it. Even our general manager instructed us to ensure they are well taken care of," the server said with a haughty tone before turning and walking away.
Tina murmured, "I never expected... Yana to be so rich?"
Kaiden gritted his teeth and muttered, "No, no, that can't be right. It must be the sugar daddy giving her the money. That's it..."
"She's just trying to spite by letting Ryan live off her. Yes, that must be it!"
"A simp will always be a simp. That loser, that penniless idiot—there's no way he paid for this."
Whatever the truth was, the reality of the 110,000 dollars paynt hit like a slap in the face.
Tina was left utterly humiliated, her thoughts a swirling ss. She couldn't shake the embarrassnt as she noticed the scornful looks from other diners and staff. She wished the ground would swallow her whole.
"Let's... let's just go!"
Kaiden paid the bill and left with Tina. On their way down, he kept muttering about asking his father to investigate and uncover the truth.
"Sweetheart, let's head to the mall next door," Kaiden suggested, trying to salvage the mood.
Thinking about the Apple 16 that now belonged to Yana, Tina couldn't suppress her resentnt. This birthday was a complete disaster. All she got was a cheap bouquet of flowers she didn't even want to take ho. How could she sleep tonight with nothing to show for her birthday?
"Alright," she replied reluctantly.
Tina reluctantly agreed with a stiff nod, walking ahead on her own. Kaiden followed closely behind, trying to hold her hand, but Tina subtly avoided his grasp.
"Ryan, you're so handso! But why don't you like dressing up?"
They were at an upscale styling center in the mall, where a haircut and wash cost 500 dollars—an extravagant place Ryan would never have stepped into under normal circumstances.
With only 700 dollars left in his pocket, Ryan mind was racing, figuring out how to make Yana pay. If he could subtly live off her generosity, it would help him save money.
According to the system's rules, he couldn't spend money on himself. Trying to funnel money through her and back to himself wasn't a viable option, so he decided to make the most of the situation.
After getting his ssy hair cropped into a clean buzz cut, Ryan looked fresh and neat. Although he had always seen himself as just another face in the crowd, the new look gave him a touch of charm and handsoness, boosting his confidence.
Yana quickly paid for the styling session while Ryan pretended not to notice. After leaving the salon, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The mall was full of luxury stores, and he saw this as the perfect opportunity to rack up spending through Yana.
