Chapter 212
The security guardâs expression turned to shock when he saw the gold invitation card. He gasped. âThe gold invitation card? MâMay I know who you are?â
âMr. Weiss delivered the gold invitation card to me. Do you need to check it Lily questioned calmly.
âIâItâs fine Please enter. Once your friends are done talking, 1 guide them to you.â The security guard accorded Lily the greatest respect.
Nodding at him, Lily then turned her gaze to Yolanda. She said to the guard, âMay I request for this lady and her group to stay out of the auction this time?â
âUm..â The security guard appeared flustered
Lily added, âItâs fine. I wonât put you in a difficult spot. Iâll speak to Mr. Weiss-
The security guard quickly interjected, âOh, itâs no problem at all. Iâll get them out of the hall right now.
Right after that, the guard gathered his colleagues and went up to Yolanda. âIâm sorry, miss. Youâre prohibited from entering the hall. We shall rescind your invitation to the
auction.â
âWhat? Do you know who we are? How dare you kick us out?â shrieked Yolanda
At the same time, Noraâs and Joanneâs mouths tell to the floor. They could not believe that they were stopped by security at the auction entrance and threatened to be kicked out, especially when they were from the Albott family.
What a joke!
âMy apologies, but Iâm just carrying out orders. Please leave, or we might need to chase you out the guard warned them coldly.
Nora bellowed, âHow dare you? Open your eyes wide and look carefully! Weâre from the Albott family. How dare you throw us out? Does Mr. Weiss know about this?â
âWell.â The security was surprised to leam that they were the Albottsâone of the Hidden Families. He immediately appeared lost and confused.
Nora glowered at the poor guard. âYou ignorant bastard. Get lost! With that, she shoved him aside and forced her way into the hall
The security guard was trapped between a rock and a hard place, but at the sight of Lilyâs expressionless face, he came to a difficult decision and physically stopped Nora from entering âYou shall not enter.â
Despite not wanting to offend anyone, the guard nonetheless prioritized Lilyâs interests due to the fact that she owned a gold invitation card. The Weisses had only issued one gold invitation card for the auction.
Before departing for the hotel, Layton Weiss had specificallygathered the staff and reminded them to look out for the gold invitation card holder. They had to treat the holder with the utmost respect as she would be the familyâs distinguished guest.
After a momentâs hesitation, the guard chose to comply with Lilyâs instructions. He could not afford to slight the Albotts, but it would be even more unthinkable to disobey Layton Weiss after he had laid out the instructions regarding the gold invitation card holder.
âWhat did you just say?â Nora couldnât believe that the security guard insisted on stopping her.
âThe lady over here holds the gold invitation card that was personally issued by the head of the Weiss family. If she wishes to exclude you from the auction, we have no choice but to follow her directive-â
Before he could finish, Nora slapped him across the face.
Her voice dripped with anger. âWho do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in that manner? Whatâs so special about a gold invitation card holder? Ask Mr. Weiss if he agrees with keeping us out.â
Furious yet helpless, the guard pressed a hand on his cheek. The Weisses, the Albotts, and Lily were people whom he could not afford to offend.
âWhatâs wrong? An imposing, assertive male voice echoed in the air.
Looking up, the guard recognized his employer. He politely greeted him, âHi, Mr. Weiss,â
The man who showed up was the patriarch of the Weiss family, Layton Weiss.
