A Replacement Bride

Chapter 142

Michael frowned and did not say anything right away.

Seeing that he kept quiet, Emily Smith—the server—knew Michael was shaken. Hence, she quickly patted her chest to give assurance. "Mr. Johnson, they dressed shabbily and there is no way they are Gold Members. Sophia is just lying to you. If you don't believe me, just go and take a look. I did not lie to you. If you find out that I lied to you, you can fire me and do not let any company under the group accept me. I won't complain about it."

Seeing Emily's conviction, Michael was shaken.

It was said that there was only one Peony Gold Card. The boss had told the store manager of each branch that if the Peony Gold Card holder were to appear, they were the most esteemed VIP and had to be served perfectly.

However, if it's fake…

"Fine. I'll go take a look at the room." Michael glared at Emily before he turned around and went to the room.

The guests outside looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what had happened. However, with Michael there, they did not dare to continue the fuss.

Michael went to the Peony Pavilion and knocked on the door to go in. Only Katherine and Jennifer were in the room, as Joaquin was out answering a phone call and had not returned.

After Michael entered the room, he was stunned by Katherine's beauty. However, his gaze fell on their clothes.

Katherine was in a hurry to go out, so she wore loose and casual clothes. On the other hand, Jennifer was dressed in old clothes that looked like a towel, just like an old lady who just came out of the countryside.

Michael's expression immediately changed. At that time, he believed Emily and felt that those so-called valuable guests were just Sophia's nonsense to deceive him.

Hence, he suppressed his anger but not his attitude, and coldly asked Katherine, "Who allowed you to come in to eat?"

"Huh?" Katherine was in the midst of pouring tea for Jennifer. Hearing Michael's words, Katherine raised her brows and glanced over. "What did you say?"
