?Chapter 790:


    Both Cole and An instinctively followed her finger, spotting the fresh-faced waiter—boyishly charming and probably a college student earning extra cash.


    Adah gave Elliana a sly nudge. “Am I right, Miss Briggs?”


    With her best friend rallying to her side, Elliana yed along. She raised her hand with a flirtatious wave. “Hey there, handsome! Come here a sec!”


    The waiter, unaware of the undercurrents, turned over. “Yes, miss? How can I help you?”


    Elliana gave him her most dazzling smile. “Tell me, how old are you, handsome?”


    “Twenty,” he replied, standing a little taller.


    Her eyes lit up. “Same as me! Ever had a girlfriend? Are you still single?”


    The waiter flushed slightly. “Still single. My family’s not well-off, so I’ve been focused on working. Haven’t had time or money for romance.”


    “Oh, what a promising young man!” Elliana beamed. “A hardworking young man with his priorities in order. How refreshing!” She slipped a fat tip of ten thousand dors without blinking. “I admire ambition. I’ll be visiting Nightfall more often. I’d like to support a hardworking young man like you.”


    The waiter blinked, stunned. “Th-thank you, miss! Really, thank you! If you need anything, anything at all, just call me.”<fn8f80> This update is avable on find?novel</fn8f80>


    After exchanging a few more yful words, Elliana dismissed him with a graceful nod.


    By now, Cole’s expression was dark, thunderclouds brewing in his eyes. The tension around his jaw made his irritation obvious. Adah, watching him simmer, grinned with open satisfaction.


    An rubbed his temples, silently admitting that these two women were clearly something else.


    Just then, Adah gave An a swift kick under the table. “Weren’t you offering to buy us drinks? What’s the holdup?”

    Drawn to Adah’s brazen charm, An was more amused than annoyed by her kick. He gave a quick nod and raised a hand for service.


    To no one’s surprise, it was the same waiter Elliana had generously tipped who showed up again. His manager had clearly sent him back, assuming he’d struck gold with this table.


    As the waiter approached, he gave Elliana a bright smile. “Hello again, miss.” Cole’s expression turned thunderous.


    Sensing the storm clouds rolling in, An wasted no time cing the order. Soon, a bottle of red wine, a ss of juice, and an array of light snacks were being delivered, with the waiter bustling attentively.


    “Hey, handsome,” Elliana called out sweetly.


    The waiter perked up immediately. “Yes, miss! My name’s Ian. Anything you need?”


    Elliana rewarded him with another radiant smile and slipped him a second ten-thousand-dor tip. “Thank you for the wonderful service, Ian.”


    Ian Walker stood there momentarily stunned, clutching the money like a sacred relic. “T-Thank you, miss! Really, thank you so much!”


    He scurried off, his grin nearly splitting his face in half. Meanwhile, the booth’s energy shifted. The air was thick with jealousy as Cole seethed, barely holding himself together. Everyone could see it: his clenched jaw, the silent fury in his eyes.
