Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 109

The night was deep, and snowflakes danced under the streetlights.

At the entrance of Crimson Gardens, a luxurious residential area, a young couple bundled up in thick winter coats were engaged in a heated discussion with the security guard.

"Come on, man, just let us in. I swear I'm the brother-in-law of the Montgomery family—you know, Lysander Montgomery's brother-in-law!" the man pleaded.

Crimson Gardens was a high-end neighborhood, home to the elite. Without being a resident or having an escort, nobody was getting in. If something went wrong, it would be the guards who paid the price. Without proof, there was no chance they were letting anyone through.
