Jordan added, “Grandpa is right. He’s not on our level. Talking to him will just drag us down.
They presented two invitations to the security guards while Lillian handed over her VIP invitation.
Evelyn suddenly remembered something and addressed the guards in a commanding tone,” Listen carefully. That guy isn’t with us. He’s here to cause trouble. Keep an eye on him. If he sneaks in, you’ll be in big trouble!”
In the past, Evelyn wouldn’t have spoken so boldly since Misty Oak Hotel’s security guards were backed by the powerful Quirrel family.
However, she was armed with a VIP invitation and was on the brink of signing a ten billion- dollar deal with Phoenix Corporation, so her confidence was through the roof.
Although the guards were irritated, they couldn’t afford to offend someone with a VIP invitation. Just as they were about to let the group through, one of them received a phone call.
“Hold on!” The guard ended the call and blocked Evelyn and the others.
Evelyn’s face flushed with anger. “How dare you! We’re VIP guests. Are you trying to get fired?”
The guard smirked coldly. “We’ve just received orders. All invitations for the Smith and Hunter families are revoked, except for Ms. Lillian’s. The rest of you aren’t allowed in.”
“What?” The Smith and Hunter families were stunned.
“Why? Why are our invitations voided?” Evelyn demanded.
“No reason. Leave now, or we’ll throw you out,” the guard responded with a cold smile.
The guards had previously tolerated the Hunters and the Smiths as they were unable to risk offending those VIP guests. Now that their invitations had been revoked, the guards no longer felt the need to be polite.
“The Supreme One himself invited us to attend the supreme banquet, and he’s supposed to grant us a ten billion-dollar contract today. Try laying a finger on us!” Lucas said, stepping up to the guards with a menacing look.
Bradfort was terrified and quickly pulled Lucas back. He whispered, “Hold your temper. This isn’t a place for you to cause trouble.”
Most people knew the Quirrel family was powerful, but few understood the full extent of their influence. Yet, Bradfort was well aware of their frightening capabilities that made them comparable to the ten great families.
Sebastian walked over with a playful smile. “I told you, having an invitation doesn’t guarantee entry.”
Evelyn’s face flushed with anger. “Stop gloating! If we can’t get in, neither can you.”
“That’s not necessarily true. They might just let me in,” Sebastian said, smiling slyly.
Joseph had already instructed the security guards about Sebastian, and they recognized him from his photo.
“Think you can get in without an invitation? Dream on!” Evelyn scoffed.
