“Damn it, Julius Reed, can you stop making a scene? A guy living off his wife, and you even dare to show up at Azure Percival?”

“Exactly, have you even eaten out in the past three years? Let alone spending five million, you probably haven’t even spent five hundred bucks in these three years!”

“He really has the nerve to eat everywhere! This is not your house, you know!”

Quite a few members of the Radcliffe Clan began to mock him coldly and sarcastically.

To these people, Julius Reed was nothing but a loser.

Even if he was Quella Radcliffe’s husband, he would not gain an ounce of respect.

The employees of Radcliffe Group also cast mocking glances at him, though they didn’t say anything.

After all, even if he was a dog belonging to the Radcliffe Family, it wasn’t their place as outsiders to gossip.

It’s best to just quietly enjoy the show.

“Julius, let it go. Let’s go to another place!”

Quella Radcliffe turned around, full of apologies, and said to the Radcliffe Clan and the employees, “I’m so sorry for today. It’s my first time here and I wasn’t aware of the rules. My apologies!”

She thought Julius Reed was trying to extricate himself.

After all, it required a spend of five million!

A full five million!

These people were right, Julius Reed hadn’t eaten out in three years, where would he get a VIP card from?

“What a letdown!”

“He’s not even in charge yet and he’s already making fools of us, if he actually takes the position of project manager, I’m afraid it would be unbearable!”

“We came all this way only to get no meal! Let’s go home! Back home!”

The Radcliffe Clan members completely lost their cool.

Some of them had known the ins and outs of the matter all along, so they acted with extra gusto.

“President Radcliffe, if that’s the case, we’ll be taking our leave!”

“We’ve come all this way and haven’t had a meal, we need to go back and eat something!”

“If we don’t find something to eat ourselves, we might starve to death!”

Under the instigation of the Radcliffe Clan members, the Radcliffe Group employees also began to complain.

They were not informed.

Many were jubilant about coming here and had even dressed up for the occasion.

Who knew that they wouldn’t even see a table, or even get through the door!

This severe disparity intensified their dissatisfaction.

“Hey! Wait a minute! Didn’t Julius Reed say he has a card? Let’s try it. What if our Radcliffe son-in-law really has the capability? After all, living off a woman is also a skill in getting food, isn’t it?”

Otis Radcliffe took the opportunity to sneer.

He seldom got the chance to make Julius Reed look foolish and was certainly not about to let it slip by.

Spending five million a year at Azure Percival was something even he couldn’t afford to do.

Let alone penniless Julius Reed.

“Let’s go to another place!”

Quella Radcliffe’s expression darkened and she turned to leave the hotel.

From the beginning to this point, she had also sensed that something was not quite right.

It was as if everything had been a well-designed trap, just waiting for her to fall into it.

“Don’t go!”

Otis Radcliffe stood in front of Quella Radcliffe with a derisive tone, “You have a card, yet you won’t let him use it. Are you intentionally playing with us?”

Otis Radcliffe was particularly obsessed with kicking someone when they were down.

“You…”

Quella Radcliffe was so angry she was red in the face.

Where would Julius Reed get such a card from? Otis Radcliffe’s actions were clearly intended to make them look bad!

If it had been before, Quella Radcliffe might not have cared.

But now her feelings for Julius Reed had drastically changed, how could she let him be humiliated by others?

“Just for that ‘brother-in-law’ you called me, I can’t let you down today!”

Julius Reed smiled faintly and pulled out a black card from his pocket.

Three years.

Otis Radcliffe always called him useless or trash.

Today was the first time he called him brother-in-law.

Of course.

This was also to humiliate him.

Seeing Julius Reed pull out a card, everyone’s hearts tightened.

Could it be that he really had a membership card?

But then they thought about it, how could that be possible!

They figured he was just brazenly showing some random card that couldn’t be used.

Julius Reed, oh Julius Reed, your status in our Radcliffe Family is not even as good as a dog that the old man keeps!

Otis Radcliffe sneered inwardly.

“Brother-in-law, it’s not like you picked up some random business card on the street and are trying to bluff us, right?”

Provoked by his comment, the others who were momentarily stunned also started to regain their senses.

“Damn! I actually believed him for a second, thinking this loser could actually produce a card!”

Wellington Radcliffe cursed loudly on the side.

Among the Radcliffe siblings, Wellington had the worst manners, always calling Julius Reed trash whenever he opened his mouth.

“Stop fucking pretending and get lost!”

He walked up to the reception desk, cursing under his breath.

Everyone only saw Julius Reed pull out a black card, but they didn’t see clearly what card it was.

Provoked by Otis Radcliffe and Wellington Radcliffe, everyone assumed it was just some business card off the street.

With that thought, their anger grew even more!

“Sir, this is a bank card…”

The front desk staff answered with a smile.

He had thought the customer really had a card, but when he took it, he realized it wasn’t a VIP card at all.

It was a black bank card.

“Fuck! Julius Reed, you and your wife are really something! Treating us like monkeys, playing us for fools!”

Members of the Radcliffe Clan were hopping mad.

“You fucking idiot, are you trying to make a fool out of me?”

Wellington walked up to Julius Reed, about to push him.

In his eyes, Julius Reed was less than a dog.

“Wellington, he’s your brother-in-law!”

Quella Radcliffe stepped in front of Julius Reed and scolded sternly, “Don’t go too far! He’s part of the Radcliffe family too!”

With her defense like that, the employees of Radcliffe Group were not going to stand down.

“President Radcliffe, it’s one thing for you to play us, but why should he? Bringing a bank card to pose as a VIP card, do you think we’re idiots?”

“We will report to the chairman that this lack of respect for staff doesn’t qualify you to lead the new project.”

Several employees of Radcliffe Group started pulling out their phones, ready to call Zade Radcliffe.

“Sister, you’re the one in the wrong here!”

Otis Radcliffe was already overjoyed inside, his goal finally achieved.

Once Quella had incurred the wrath of everyone, the position would surely be his.

He would take his time tormenting Quella, even get her fired from the group.

“Ah, Julius Reed, I really owe you one!”

Without him stirring things up, the employees wouldn’t have been so outraged.

But Julius Reed ignored all that and said to the front desk staff softly, “There are some things you’re not qualified to know. Now call your manager.”

At his words, the staff member indeed hesitated.

Despite how things looked, he guessed that the guy was someone without much clout.

But what if he really was a hidden big shot? He could be risking his job.

The call hadn’t lasted a minute when a chubby man came running down from upstairs.

At this moment, the Radcliffes were cursing and Quella was arguing with them.

“Sir!”

The chubby man became extremely serious as soon as he got the black card.

“Will this do?”

Julius Reed tapped on the reception desk lightly.

The significance of this card, no one understood better than him.

“Look, he’s still putting on an act! Disgusting!”

“Let’s go! Haven’t even had our meal, and we’re already full of anger!”

Quite a few people were already preparing to leave.

“Sir, with this card, you may directly enter our most esteemed Emperor’s Hall!”

The chubby man respectfully returned the card to Julius Reed.

“What? Am I hearing this right?”

A Radcliffe family member standing closest to him furrowed his brows.

“Server, arrange for someone to escort this gentleman to the top-floor Emperor’s Hall!”

With a wave of his hand, the chubby man turned around with a beaming smile and said, “My name’s Tobias Percival, the manager of this establishment. If you need anything, feel free to ask for me!”

This statement made the Radcliffes explode in astonishment.

“Fuck! What’s going on?”

“A bank card can do the trick?”

Quella was also bewildered. She moved closer to Julius Reed and asked softly, “What’s happening?”

“Sky Reed lent it to me last time, we’re relatives, you know!”

Julius Reed replied with a light smile.

“Oh my! Emperor’s Hall! Incredible! Long live President Radcliffe!”

“This is too extravagant!”

The employees became excited again, gathering around Julius Reed, ready to follow him upstairs.

“Wellington, you deal with it yourself. The rest of you, follow me.”

Julius Reed looked at Wellington Radcliffe with a face full of mockery.

“You loser, I swear I’m not a man if I don’t get back at you for this!”

After everyone left, Wellington stood shaking with rage at the entrance of the hotel.
