Chapter 66 I might be that distinguished guest!
As soon as the black card was seen, several security guards were dumbfounded.
The lobby manager’s face instantly turned pale, and he quickly shouted, “Stop!”
Paul and his companions also widened their eyes in disbelief.
Kiera’s gaze narrowed as she stared at the black card in Lachlan’s hand. “Is this the supreme card for all of our family businesses?” she asked.
Lachlan chuckled. “I wonder what level of membership having this card here puts me at?”
“The highest level of supreme membership!” Kiera replied, but her eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. “Can you show it to me?”
Kiera was a direct descendant of the Ward family, but she usually avoided being in the public eye. As a result, while Paul was recognized by the manager here, Kiera was not.
Lachlan shrugged and handed over the card to her.
Kiera carefully examined it for a moment before her expression changed several times.
“Well? Is it real?” Lachlan asked with a smile.
“It seems like it is,” Kiera nodded before returning the card to Lachlan.
“So, I have the right to expel members who are lower than me?” Lachlan sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Paul’s expression changed and Kiera didn’t look too pleased either. As descendants of the Ward family, being kicked out of their own hotel would be a huge embarrassment for them. Besides, there wasn’t even such a rule in the first place.
“Well…” The lobby manager looked embarrassed and hesitant.
“Hehe, don’t worry. I’m not that bored or childish!” Lachlan chuckled lightly before walking towards the elevator with his supreme card in hand.
His reaction stunned everyone present. Kiera’s eyes flashed with surprise as she didn’t expect Lachlan to be so magnanimous and not bother with them. However, not everyone was willing to give him the benefit of doubt.
Suddenly realizing something, Paul pointed at Lachlan and shouted loudly, “How could a mere son-in-law from the Lowe family have a supreme card from the Ward family? I suspect that even if this card is real, he probably found it or stole it!”
Upon hearing this accusation, everyone’s eyes lit up as they seemed to have grasped onto the essence of what was going on. They all looked down upon Lachlan deep inside their hearts.
A man they looked down upon, yet possessed the ultimate card of the Ward family. The psychological gap was unimaginable for Paul, Betty, Orion and others to accept. As the owner of the ultimate card, Lachlan didn’t drive them away but instead made them feel that he was insecure.
“The Lowe family doesn’t have a good relationship with the Ward family! Moreover, how could a useless son-in-law like you from the Lowe family have an ultimate card? Tell me where you got this card?” Betty glared at Lachlan and interrogated him aggressively.
Lachlan shook his head speechlessly and said, “Erik gave it to me. Is there any problem?”
“Haha… this is hilarious! What’s his identity? How could he give you an ultimate card? You are just a gigolo without any qualification to even touch Mr. Ward!” Betty laughed as if she had heard a big joke.
Others also sneered continuously thinking that Lachlan was just talking nonsense.
Lachlan shook his head and raised his chin proudly, “Why should I prove it to you? Who do you think you are? Get out of my way and don’t hinder me from going upstairs for dinner!”
Prove it?
Ha ha, why should he prove himself?
Did it matter whether or not they believed him?
Saying this, he pushed aside Betty directly with his card in hand and walked towards the elevator.
Ding! Lachlan swiped his supreme card and the elevator doors opened.
“Let’s go, follow him, don’t let him get away! He definitely stole that card!” Paul shouted as he saw what was happening.
“He’s going to the top floor? That’s some bragging, does he dare?”
“Mr. Ward happens to be hosting a banquet on the top floor for important guests. If he really goes up there, we’ll catch him in the act!”
“Don’t worry, he won’t dare! I bet he’s trying to take another elevator from a different floor!”
The group of people were all talking at once and ran after Lachlan as they entered the elevator.
Paul tried to follow but received a phone call just then.
“Henry!”
The so-called “Young Master” picked up the call and politely and respectfully greeted, maintaining an artificially warm tone that sent shivers down people’s spine.
Henry belonged to the powerful Ward family’s direct lineage, far superior to someone like Paul from a collateral branch.
“You here?” Henry asked in a casual tone.
“I’m here, I’m here!” Paul replied eagerly.
“You’re here quite early. Come out and wait for me at the entrance. When our distinguished guest arrives, we’ll welcome him together,” Henry instructed.
“Sure thing, Henry!” Paul agreed.
As he walked out, Paul couldn’t help but marvel at the kind of distinguished guest who could make Henry personally wait at the entrance.
“Henry, Rowan!” Paul greeted them respectfully before quickly changing his tone. “Oh yeah, there was a guy causing trouble earlier. He even pretended to be a VIP member here! The worst part is that he threatened to cause chaos on the top floor!”
As soon as Paul finished speaking, Henry’s expression changed instantly as he became furious.
“What? Someone dared to cause trouble here today? And go up to the top floor? He’s asking for death!”
Today was Erick’s banquet on the top floor with Lachlan in attendance along with Caelan, Clifford and another big shot.
“Rowan, you wait here. You know Mr. Willis anyway,” Henry said with a dark expression before waving to Paul and saying, “Let’s go!”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Paul hurriedly followed, laughing coldly in his heart.
If Henry was involved, that guy will either die or be ruined… haha.
Meanwhile…
Kiera, Betty and Orion entered the elevator and were a bit confused when they saw Lachlan press the button for the top floor.
“You followed us all the way up here just to pretend?” Betty sneered before warning him. “I’m telling you, Erik is hosting an important guest in the VIP room on this floor today! If you cause any trouble for them, your fate will not be pretty.”
“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, I believe I am that important guest,” Lachlan replied calmly.
Upon hearing this statement from Lachlan, Betty and Orion along with other wealthy heirs burst into laughter.
“What? You’re that important guest? Are you trying to fool us?”
“A nobody like you? Who gave you such confidence?”
“I can’t take it anymore! My stomach hurts from laughing so much! Hahaha…”
*Ding!*
At this moment, the elevator finally reached the top floor. After the doors opened, Lachlan stepped out and headed straight towards the only suite on this level. Seeing his actions, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They had all made it to this point, but why was he so confident? Was he really trying to get himself killed? Or was there something else going on?
