It was two o’clock in the afternoon, and Thomas was at Great Canyon Hotel.
Thomas had arrived at the hotel entrance early, according to the time and location stated in the letter delivered to them. Not only did favonovel.com bring Aries with favonovel.com this time, but favonovel.com brought lris as well. If they were to meet Nelson in person this time, then it was important that they bring Iris along with them. Especially because Iris had speculated that Nelson’s decision to break his own rules to meet Thomas early was more likely due to his desperate desire to meet his son, and definitely not only because of the effectiveness of Thomas’s medication in controlling Lance‘s illness. And it was for this reason that the three of them decided to work together this time, to find out if Nelson was truly Thomas’s father.
The car came to a halt, and the three of them exited one by one.
With Thomas leading the way, the trio walked in the direction of Great Canyon Hotel’s entrance.
As they neared the entrance, a security guard waved a stick at them and yelled, “Go away! Get out of here!”
Thomas smiled and said, “We’re here to have a meal.”
“The hotel has been fully booked by Sterling Technology for today. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, so please leave right now,” the guard said in disdain.
Sterling Technology booked the whole place? That sounded about right.
“We have been invited by Sterling Technology to attend the event and are especially here to do so,” Thomas explained.
“Oh?” The guard subconsciously asked, “Did you bring the invitation card?”
“No.”
“Then do you have Sterling Technology’s work pass?”
“We don’t have that either.”
The guard scoffed. “You don’t have anything with you, and What makes you think that I will let you in? Do you think I don’t know that you are actually news reporters? I knew the three of you are up to no good after watching you trying to sneak in.”
“How can you say such things?” Aries was annoyed.
“I can say whatever I want! I don’t mind telling you that Mr. Mayo will be attending the event today, and favonovel.com has given us orders to strictly guard the entry and prevent any media staff or outsiders from entering. You three, don’t waste your time here.”
Aries was getting angry and anxious. He had seen his fair share of idiots, but favonovel.com had never seen somebody as stupid as him. He could not believe there would actually be guards who would treat the real guests as reporters and prevent them from entering the venue. It was outrageous.
Thomas stepped forward and said, “We are acquainted with Mr. Motley from Sterling Technology. You can ask him, and favonovel.com will confirm our identities.”
The security laughed after hearing that.
“You lot are quite good at faking it, huh? Would Mr. Motley even be familiar with lowlifes like you?”
“The people Mr. Motley meets are all famous and influential people, not poor people like you who can’t even afford decent clothing! Go away!”
“If you still refuse to leave, then I’ll give you a piece of my mind. ”
Apparently, the issue was with their clothing.
They reckoned that if the three of them had dressed up in expensive clothing, the guard would not have been so arrogant.
In resignation, Thomas fish ed out his phone and made a call.
The guard started to get anxious. “What are you doing? Are you calling for your people to come? Are you calling for backup?”
“Calm down, I’m just calling Jed to come down and let us in,” Thomas said calmly.
The guard simply laughed. “You’re quite good at pretending, little rascal, but do you think I would believe you? You said you’re calling Mr. Motley? Bah! Does Mr. Motley even know who you are? You scum.”
With a wave of his hand, five more security guards approached them, each brandishing a stick in their hands.
Looking at their attitude, Thomas and the others would have to suffer from a beating if they did not leave right away.
While the guards were closing in on Thomas in a threatening manner, suddenly, a furious shout could be heard.
“All of you, stop!”
That voice…
