Chapter 120

The manager, Howard, turned to Alex and smiled warmly. Yes, this man doesn't have an invitation..." he wanted to continue 'but he doesn't need one-

Before he could finish, Megan interrupted, her voice rising

"If he doesn't have an invitation, don't you think you should do your job and kick him out? Call the guards and get him out of here!"

Howard's smile faded as his expression turned serious.

"Could you please clarify," he asked dryly, "which part of his body you'd like us to kick?"

Megan crossed her arms, her eyes blazing. "Kick his butt out of this place!"

Howard sighed and calmly used his walkie-talkie. "Security, there's an issue in back area. Please come here."

Megan's grin widened triumphantly. "Hey loser, you'd better leave now before they drag you out and humiliate you. Don't you feel scared yet?" she taunted.

Alex still sitting and took another slow sip of his wine, completely unfazed.

When the two burly guards arrived, Megan jabbed her finger at Alex. "He's the one. Get rid of him!"

To her shock, Howard gestured toward Megan instead. "Gentlemen, please escort this woman out. Feel free to kick her butt on the way, as she requested by herself."

Megan's face twisted in disbelief. "What?!"

The guards approached her, their expressions neutral but firm.

Megan panicked and ducked behind Marco. "What are you doing? I have an invitation card to be here!"

Howard arched an eyebrow. "May I see the invitation?"

Megan, desperate, called and waved frantically at Sophia. "Sophia! Show him our invitation card!"

Sophia frowned in confusion not knowing what happened but stepped forward, presenting the card to Howard.

"Is there a problem?" she asked, her voice wary.

Howard accepted the card and, to everyone's astonishment, calmly tore it in half.

Megan's horrified scream filled the air. "What are you doing?!"

"This invitation card," Howard announced coolly, "is no longer valid."

Megan's face went pale. Sophia's expression turned into one of shock.

"But... this is the official invitation for the Lancaster Group! We're partners with Kingston!"

Howard bowed slightly, though his words were razor-sharp.

"I regret to inform you that your partnership with Kingston has been terminated."

Sophia's breath caught in her throat. "You can't do that!"

"Yes, I can." Howard's polite smile twisted into something more ruthless.
