Chapter78 A Prophetic Utterance
A hotel employee brought an invitation card shortly after Sarah departed, stating that someone had asked the reception to send it up.
Curious, Ethan looked at the card’s contents, unable to contain himself as he burst into laughter.
With the invitation card in hand, he came to Sarah's door and knocked on it.
“What do you want?” she opened the door, glaring at him with an alert expression. He could clearly sense a hint of panic and unease in her eyes.
“Somebody just sent invited us to a venue tonight!” Ethan didn't feel like fooling around with her anymore, waving the invitation card to explain his purpose.
Sarah was stunned, quickly snatching the card from him. Immediately, she saw Louis’s signature at the bottom of it!
“Have you heard of this Palace Club?” Ethan quickly asked.
Sarah furrowed her brow in concern, “I know a little bit. It’s a gathering place for some wealthy young elites in Seattle. It's said to have great connections and offers all kinds of entertainment, a paradise for these prodigals! With Louis suddenly inviting us to Palace Club, is there some conspiracy going on?”
Ethan bluntly suggested, “I actually find it quite interesting. Since we have nothing to do tonight, let's go and see him together.”
“Well, since Grandpa said to listen to you, you handle it. Come find me when it's time!” After some though, Sarah handed the invitation card back to Ethan and shut the door again!
“She really has quite the temper!” he shrugged while speechless, turning back to his own room.
The time specified on the invitation card was 6:00 p.m., and Ethan didn't know how far Palace Club was. Thus, he knocked on Sarah's door at 5:00 p.m.
When she opened the door, he was momentarily stunned by her appearance!
Sarah had already prepared herself for the gathering.
Dressed in a sleek black cocktail dress, her exposed fair shoulders and collarbone made her look alluring. The low-cut design didn't reveal too much, but her cleavage was still well-defined. Who would’ve that she had such an impressive figure?
She wore a pair of clear open-toe high heels, her round and fair legs enough to leave anyone dizzy.
“...It's not like we’re going to a grand occasion or a blind date. Do you need to dress like this?” Ethan snapped back to his sense, shaking his head with disbelief.
Sarah clearly saw his momentary distraction and felt proud. She retorted sternly, “Who asked for your opinion? Can’t I show my personality whenever and wherever I want?”
“Well, you certainly have an impressive personality!” Ethan looked at Sarah's aggressive stance, his lips twitching as he turned to leave.
She saw his cheap, casual clothes and immediately stopped him, “Wait... You're going like this?”
“Louis is unworthy of my suit and tie!” Ethan chuckled, completely unconcerned.
“Let’s hope the bouncer even lets you in!” she rolled her eyes and followed him out.
The car arranged by the hotel was waiting downstairs for them. After they got in, the driver took them straight to Palace Club.
Fortunately, the journey wasn't far, and they arrived within half an hour.
As soon as they got out of the car, they immediately attracted many people's attentions. It wasn't because Ethan was particularly handsome, but it was due to Sarah's current attire. With her good looks, she truly had heads turning from every angle.
“Damn... Who’s that beggar? He’s actually holding hands with the beauty!”
A few exaggerated comments made Sarah wish she could find a hole to hide in. She complained while pouting, “This is what you get for wearing this outfit. You’re getting looked down on, and even I’m embarrassed to be around you!”
Ethan seemed indifferent as he shrugged casually, “Oh really? If you care so much about what those people think, then we can walk separately!”
Sarah was itching to scold Ethan, but she didn't show any disgust. After all, they were partners for tonight!
“Sorry, but this is a private club. You'll need to show your membership cards to enter!” Just as they were about to enter Palace Club, they were stopped by two suited men, who were clearly security guards.
Ethan rolled his eyes, not expecting to be stopped at the door!
“I didn't know that a membership card was needed to enter Palace Club. Don't you have Louis' invitation?” Sarah couldn't believe that her words actually came true, reminding Ethan with a speechless look.
“I didn't bring it! Louis really can't be relied on; he’s not even waiting for us at the entrance. Since they won't let us in, let's just go return to the hotel.” Ethan shrugged indifferently and even made a sarcastic comment.
With that one sentence, it seemed like he was about to leave.
Sarah was confused by his actions. “Hey, you're the one who's supposed to come. Are you seriously leaving without even meeting anyone?” Could this guy really be so carefree?
“Beauty, do you want to go inside? How about coming with me? I'm a member here, so there's no problem to get you in!” Before Ethan could take a step, a silly-looking man dressed in Versace blocked Sarah's way.
Ethan raised an eyebrow, amusement flashing in his eyes. It seemed that both entering and leaving this place was a hassle!
At a glance, Sarah could see the greed in the guy's eyes. She replied to him disdainfully, “No need!”
“Don't reject so quickly! I feel sorry seeing you with that beggar. Just look at him; how could he compare to me?” The guy was completely unconcerned about how Ethan would react to his words, only staring straight at Sarah's beautiful face while smiling persuasively.
“I thought that guy was being low-key, but he didn’t even have a membership card. Despite that, he wants to enter Palace Club?”
“Beauty, if you don't like him, how about going in with me? I also have a membership card!”
“Get lost quickly, stop embarrassing yourself here!”
Hearing support from the onlookers, the guy ridiculed Ethan fearlessly.
“I bet some people are hiding right now, waiting to see us embarrass ourselves!” Ethan ignored these people. Instead, he looked up at the windows of the building’s other floors and reminded Sarah.
“Did Louis do this? He knows we don't have a membership card here, so he only sent us an invitation to make us look bad?” Sarah immediately understood Ethan's words.
“F*cker, I’m talking to you right now! Are you deaf?” Ethan unexpectedly ignored him, leaving the guy angry as he slapped Ethan's face.
However, Ethan barely glanced at him as he casually stopped the slap by grabbing the man’s wrist.
The guy felt like his wrists were being held by a pair of pliers. He couldn't even pull it back, and his face instantly changed. He cursed out, “Bastard, how dare you resist me? If you don't let go right now, I'll have someone break your legs!”
“Smack!”
Ethan mercilessly slapped him in response, making him fall to the ground.
“Since you’re so mannerless, you deserve to be hit.” Ethan spoke calmly, barely looking at the man. He then tilted his head toward the building’s direction, revealing a faint smile.
