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 name, inviting them to a meal at her new house.”

After Julius Reed finished speaking, Cosmo immediately went to carry out the orders.

Meanwhile, Knox Ridge at the old house was like an ant on a hot pot.

For some unknown reason, even the relatives she wasn’t close to obtained her contact information.

One after another, these people called, saying they had been informed 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 meal 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 message 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 home 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 time comes? Old woman, you’re just too obsessed with face. If you ask me, we should come 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 means 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 home will mock me 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 inflamed her anger further.

The truth was, her authoritative nature was indeed because Burl Radcliffe was weak and incompetent; without someone tough in the house, it certainly would not do.

“All right, all right, all right!”

After being scolded mercilessly, Burl Radcliffe didn’t dare say anything else, meekly picked up the car keys, and went downstairs to pick up the person.

“And you! Lend me 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!” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

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 come 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 come here to dine.

After all, a restaurant invested in by the wealthiest person in Gonzalez City to indulge their love for gourmet 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 membership 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 time to come and spend due to company business. But according to the rules of Twilight Mansion, one must show a membership card to enter.

“Can I top up now?”

Quella Radcliffe was stopped at the entrance, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

But if money could solve the issue, it wasn’t really a problem. “I’m sorry, but our membership 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 come here, the security will welcome 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 become a member?”

Looking at her two sisters behind her, Quella Radcliffe felt a little uneasy. They had all come in high spirits and couldn’t just go back dejected.

No matter what, she had to get that card.

“Our Twilight Mansion uses a member referral system. If you are recommended by a Silver member, you become a Bronze member. If recommended by a Gold member, you become a Silver member, and so on. As long as you are recommended by a Silver member or above, you can enjoy our services.”

A manager from the restaurant came over and patiently explained.

This membership system ensured the overall quality of the clientele, preventing the nouveau riche—who could afford it but had no recommendations—from entering.

Moreover, every member 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 came from behind the three women.

“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 meet 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 members 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 men 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 name 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..
