Julius Reed, from the third floor, had seen it all.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Knox Ridge wanted to save face, didn’t she? Well, then let her be utterly humiliated!
Throughout thousands of years, countless stoic and unwavering figures had been forcefully made to bow their heads by Julius Reed, let alone an utterly ordinary middle-aged woman.
“Go, notify all of Knox Ridge’s relatives, in her na, inviting them to a al at her new house.”
After Julius Reed finished speaking, Cosmo imdiately went to carry out the orders.
anwhile, Knox Ridge at the old house was like an ant on a hot pot.
For so unknown reason, even the relatives she wasn’t close to obtained her contact information.
One after another, these people called, saying they had been inford that
Knox Ridge was celebrating moving into a new house and, additionally, Quella Radcliffe’s successful promotion to Chairman of the Radcliffe Group, so she was preparing to host a al for these relatives.
And as the news spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, everyone knew that Knox Ridge’s status was no longer what it used to be, and her prestige had skyrocketed.
While making these calls, the relatives also took the opportunity to express their thanks, saying they were looking forward to strolling around Gonzalez City.
That was because the person who passed the ssage said that Knox Ridge had promised to reimburse their travel expenses.
This completely stumped Knox Ridge.
If she were to refute it, the matter had already been widely spread among the relatives; how would she face going back to her maternal ho in the future?
Where would she put her face?
And now, her younger sister was standing right outside Julius Reed’s door. If her son-in-law, whom she had kicked out of her house, said anything bad, she would be utterly disgraced.
“Mr. Radcliffe, go fetch my sister back quickly!”
After much consideration, Knox Ridge decided to first make sure Grayson Ridge was calm, with the other matters to be dealt with later.
“Will it work? What will you say when the ti cos? Old woman, you’re just too obsessed with face. If you ask , we should co clean. The house belongs to Julius Reed, and now that Quella Radcliffe is divorcing him, it’s naturally none of our business anymore. But you, you just have to maintain your pride even if it ans suffering!”
Burl Radcliffe was almost unable to watch any longer.
His wife was not only vain but also obsessed with saving face.
“Bullshit! Mr. Radcliffe, even if I, Knox Ridge, were to die, I can’t lose face! If my sister finds out about this, then my family back ho will mock to no end! It’s all because you’re useless; if you had been a bit more successful, would I need to be so vain? It’s because you have nothing, and I can’t afford to lose this face!”
Knox Ridge was already furious, and Burl Radcliffe’s words only inflad her anger further.
The truth was, her authoritative nature was indeed because Burl Radcliffe was weak and incompetent; without soone tough in the house, it certainly would not do.
“All right, all right, all right!”
After being scolded rcilessly, Burl Radcliffe didn’t dare say anything else, ekly picked up the car keys, and went downstairs to pick up the person.
“And you! Lend that few hundred thousand first, I need it urgently!”
Thinking of the many relatives coming, just accommodating them for food and lodging would cost quite a bit of money.
Therefore, she had no choice but to ask Quella Radcliffe for a loan.
“I won’t lend it!”
Quella Radcliffe firmly refused, “I have matters to attend to, plus that money can’t be touched.”
Saying this, she picked up her bag and walked out without looking back. To change her mother’s character, she had to administer a strong dose!
“You co back here!”
Just as Quella Radcliffe closed the door, she heard the roar of Knox Ridge from behind.
Gonzalez City, Twilight Mansion.
This was a restaurant under the Titan Group, a project that Ovidiu Cook had personally participated in creating.
Many of the influential figures in Gonzalez City would co here to dine.
After all, a restaurant invested in by the wealthiest person in Gonzalez City to indulge their love for gourt food was bound to be top-notch.
Many delicacies unavailable elsewhere can be enjoyed here.
As long as you have money, there’s nothing you can’t do.
After leaving, Quella Radcliffe didn’t go to Julius Reed’s place, but spent the whole night with her best friends Lance Casey and Olayinka Davenport.
The three sisters chatted and laughed, their mood instantly becoming much lighter.
Later, on Quella Radcliffe’s suggestion, the trio decided to visit Twilight Mansion for a feast.
Both knew that Quella Radcliffe was now wealthy, and as Lance Casey put it, it was like dividing up the spoils from a tyrant, so they should enjoy a few more feasts.
When they arrived at the entrance, as per routine, they had to show a mbership card.
This posed a bit of a difficulty for Quella Radcliffe.
She hadn’t been to such a high-end place before, and even after becoming the chairperson, she hadn’t had ti to co and spend due to company business. But according to the rules of Twilight Mansion, one must show a mbership card to enter.
“Can I top up now?”
Quella Radcliffe was stopped at the entrance, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
But if money could solve the issue, it wasn’t really a problem. “I’m sorry, but our mbership card is not related to topping up.” The security personnel at the door apologized with a slight smile.
Unlike other upscale restaurants, even if you’re not qualified or can’t afford it, if you co here, the security will welco you with a smile and explain why you can’t go in.
This way, even if one is turned away, they still feel quite at ease.
Ovidiu Cook had set these rules in place when building the restaurant, which is why it was so popular. Even those who couldn’t afford to dine there held a good impression of the place.
“So, how does one beco a mber?”
Looking at her two sisters behind her, Quella Radcliffe felt a little uneasy. They had all co in high spirits and couldn’t just go back dejected.
No matter what, she had to get that card.
“Our Twilight Mansion uses a mber referral system. If you are recomnded by a Silver mber, you beco a Bronze mber. If recomnded by a Gold mber, you beco a Silver mber, and so on. As long as you are recomnded by a Silver mber or above, you can enjoy our services.”
A manager from the restaurant ca over and patiently explained.
This mbership system ensured the overall quality of the clientele, preventing the nouveau riche—who could afford it but had no recomndations—from entering.
Moreover, every mber had a limited number of invitations and had to be reviewed by the restaurant before being allowed to dine there.
“Lance Casey?”
Just then, a male voice ca from behind the three won.
“Xavier Lake?”
Lance Casey turned around to see a familiar face.
It was Xavier Lake, who had been pursuing her but got rejected.
“I didn’t expect to et you here, what a coincidence!”
Xavier Lake walked over with a smile and asked the security, “What’s the problem?”
“Sorry! These three ladies are not mbers of our restaurant. According to the rules, we can’t let them in.’
The security responded truthfully.
“Jentzen, are these three ladies your friends?”
Behind Xavier Lake, a few more young n approached, dressed in suits; their outfits alone were worth tens of thousands.
Clearly, they were another group of rich second-generation kids. “Yes, my friends. Lance, why don’t you introduce your two friends?” Xavier Lake had one hand in his pocket, smiling at Lance Casey.
“Hello, my na is Abigail Martin, and I’m the General Manager at Sawyer Group.”
Before Lance Casey could introduce anyone, Abigail Martin went up to Quella
Radcliffe and extended a hand..
