In order to prevent the two from being exposed inside, Tia directly stopped the other waiters outside and only allowed Cleeb to enter.

"The Duke and Duchess of Garcia don't really want to have a lot of company inside, so you'll all be waiting outside. You can just follow in."

Kleb leaned forward respectfully, "Please also pay attention. If Miss Bell comes back, please tell me immediately."

"Okay." Others didn't dare to say anything and could only stay outside respectfully.

It's time to eat now. Some people have already sat down in the restaurant. Although everyone is concentrating on the food, they can't help but be attracted by the big noise here.

After closing the door, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's next?" Miriam put the fan on the table, not knowing what to do next.

Tia glanced at Kleb and said, "Stay here for a few minutes, then go out and see if anyone is discussing the Garcia family. If anyone mentions someone being inexplicably poisoned, come in and call me."

"Okay." Kleb nodded to indicate that he remembered it.

"You two should take a break too." Tia saw that the two were still standing there stiffly and pointed to a chair beside them.

Even though the two of them sat down, they did not forget the etiquette they had just been taught, and they were still in a tense state.

But there were still scenes to come, so it was not good to let them relax too much, and Tia did not say anything more.

She waited for several more minutes, "Cleeb, go out and tell the chef to order one portion of all the dishes."

Kleb also estimated that the time was about right, so he ordered and left.

At this time, the rumors outside were still normal. People just hoped that the Duke of Garcia and his family could leave here quickly, or they were skeptical about the rumors and came to watch out of curiosity.

But as the dishes were brought into the private room one by one, the rumors outside changed direction.

"Have you heard? Several noble families were suddenly poisoned by the same kind of poison."

"What? Who is so bold as to poison a noble?"

"No one poisoned me, I guess it's a curse!"

"What does this have to do with the curse? Don't think that just because Duke Garcia is here, you can pin anything on him. Whether his curse power is real or not is another matter."

"You all don't know, but I do know that someone broke into Miss Bell's restaurant last night and stole something!"

"Is there such a thing? Tell me about it."

"I heard that several thugs were arrested early this morning. How many thugs can there be here? They are just those people. Those thugs are usually lazy and eat a lot. Why would they suddenly steal other people's things? Just think about it and then look at this poisoning."

"Could it really be due to the curse? Then wouldn't those nobles who were poisoned be the same?"

"Hush, just know it, don't tell anyone. How many heads do you have to dare to discuss the nobility? You're going to die!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If I hadn't said it, it's a good thing that Duke Garcia is here, otherwise it wouldn't be easy for this group of people to do something to a little girl like Miss Bell."

"It's nothing more than seeing Miss Bell as a young girl who's still wet behind the ears and easy to bully."

"Miss Bell was so kind as to share these things so that we can enjoy such delicious food. If those nobles had found out, how could they have sold them to us at such a cheap price?"

"unacceptable!"

"I say you're really worried about them. I heard that their whole family is unreasonable and curses people when they're in a bad mood. They're still here with us. If someone accidentally angers them and we get cursed, I'm afraid we won't have a peaceful life for the rest of our lives."

"He's like a demon. He looks just like the nobles, but inside..."

"Please stop talking. I don't dare to chat with you anymore!"

"You're right. Miss Bell still runs a restaurant here, so she definitely won't leave."

"Miss Bell isn't unreasonable. It's been so long since she started recruiting. If something was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. Besides, it's not Miss Bell who has a curse."

……

As Tia listened to Kleb recounting the rumors outside, her heart gradually calmed down.

Miriam felt a little uneasy when she heard this. She and Duke Garcia were obviously not nobles and did not possess any magic power. Even the bluffing trick outside was a flower given to them by their master from nowhere.

What exactly is the curse?

Tia didn't want to explain too much. She just told Cleeb to let those thugs go, and asked Qingning and Momo to follow them to see who they would ask for the final medical expenses and find out who was the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes.

Those thugs took money to do the job, but they probably didn't expect that they would be almost beaten to death after being caught.

At first, she didn't expect that the security guards would dare to do such a cruel thing, and even spontaneously used some torture methods, causing those people to be covered with scars. When she heard the news in the morning, she didn't feel anything. It was not until she saw the people being let go that she realized that they were seriously injured.

But it also saved her from having to beat up this group of people again. Since that group of people asked these thugs to solve these problems, it meant that they had used thugs to deal with other things before, and they must have certain leverage in the hands of the thugs.

The gangster didn't make any money and was seriously injured. He will definitely go back and ask the person behind it for medical expenses.

Momo can decompose himself and then follow up multiple people simultaneously. After reaching the final destination, Qingning follows Momo to poison those people, completing one part of the plan - casting a curse.

Her two spirit pets are generally invisible to ordinary people except nobles, so there is no pressure to track them. To outsiders, at least all this is done without anyone noticing.

As for those nobles...

"That Duke Garcia actually poisoned us just to vent his anger on Miss Bell?"

"Haven't the church people arrived yet? I'm so upset."

"No, I can't take this breath!"

"Then what are you going to do? There are rumors out there that we're bullying orphans. If you're openly opposing Duke Garcia, won't that just confirm it to them?"

"That……"

"Why are they here out of the blue? How unlucky is this!"

"Stop talking. It seems like we can't do anything about them from now on, but they've already taken away a lot of business. If this continues, several of my restaurants will have to close!"
