""WTim, what nonsense are you spouting, Tim?!"" Lauren said sarcastically.
Krister felt pleased as he listening listened to their conversation, inwardly thinking, ‘believing, William, a poor person like you will never catch up to me.’
Even if William usually had a good temper, but he could no longer endure their constant mockery and insults. He stood up and retorted, " You have no idea "wWhether your gold card is real or fake, you have no idea. After all, you have a history of buying fake paintings.""
These words once again infuriated Krister once again.

They entered the auction together.

This He was a true successful individual, while William was nothing more than a poor person from the impoverished area, and had been an ant on the ground for his whole life.
William remained calm. If this gold card could be used today, he would tear down the Sunrise Exhibition later.
""My aApologies, sir, but this gold card is fake and cannot be admitted."" The identity verification staff politely returned the gold card to Krister.
EUpon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded and, completely shocked deep in their hearts.
""How could it be fake? I've been here several times. Please check it again."" While Krister felt shocked, he also grew anxious. If it was indeed determinedreally as fake, the words he had just spoken would come back to slap him in the face.

""No way, Krister is worth billions. He wouldn't need to deceive us like this in this situation!""
""TIt must be the fault of the identity verification staff must be wrong.""

Krister was furious and unwilling to admit defeat. William, the poor man behind him, was watching. If the cardit was confirmed to be fake, he would be truly really embarrassed.
It didn't help that Michelle was nearby, observing. If she found out that he had repeatedly lied deceived and pretended to be someone he wasn't, her opinion of him would undoubtedly plummet.
Tim, Lauren, and Emily approached at this moment and started berating the staff member.
""Can't you verify anything properly? Open your eyes and take a good look. This is a gold card, a supreme membership! Haven't you seen a gold card before? Hurry up and call your manager.""

""Who's causing a commotion out hereside? Where are the security guards?"" Evander shouted.
Without delay, eight security guards suddenly appeared at the entrance, escorting the troublemakers away.
Krister, Lauren, Tim, and Emily gathered together, feeling surrounded.
As they realized they were cornered, they immediately grew quiet.
""Are you the manager? Hurry up and check my gold card. I've used it multiple times, it can't be fake."" Krister suppressed his anger and handed the gold card over to Evander. Reluctantly, he wanted Evander to double-check it.

""We're done; we can't get in anymore. And what's with the talk about a mysterious necklace?,"" Tim expressed his disappointment. He had started to dislike Krister, someone who made him lose face in front of the less fortunate.
Although Lauren and Emily didn't voice it outsay it, they also felt let down by Krister.
When Observing this, William saw this, he felt a hint of satisfaction, and he walked over to pour salt on their wounds.
""I told you the gold card was fake. It really is. Without If you don’t have any social status, don't come here and act like you're all that. Who are you trying to deceive?""
These words were like rubbing salt on Krister's wounds, making and made him want to explode in anger, but unable tohe couldn’t do so.
Tim and the others couldn't retort against William's remarks either. The fact was they had wanted to show off in front of William, and now they were had been humiliated.
""You're a poor person, what right do you have to show off? I can't get in, so don't even dream that you can. I'm telling you, even if you strive for a lifetime, you'll never make it in. How dare you compare yourself to me!"" Krister angrily shouted angrily. A poor person man from the slums thinking theywho thought he cancould climb on top of him was nothing but a joke.
""Well, you never know. They might just let me in,"" William said with a smile.
""Who do you think you are? Wherever you go Y, you demand respect wherever you go, even though you’re nothing!"" Krister nearly roared, thinking to himself that this poor person man was simply delusional. H; he actually believed that the auction house would give him facerespect him. What a hilarious joke.
""Well, what if they do let me in?"" William said calmly, provoking Kristerly.
""If you can get in, I'll kneel down and call you father,"" Krister said in a fit of anger, no longer caring about his wordswhat he said. And he was certain, thatis poor person man wouldn't be able to get in. He couldn't dream of Not to mention having a net worth of ten million dollars, let alone, he couldn't even dream of it .
He couldn't scrape together even a hundred thousand dollars.
""If you can't get in, then what?"" Krister asked, not naive enough to believe he could.
""If I can't get in, willould you be satisfied if I kneel down and call you father?"" William calmly replied.
""Fine, then I'll be waiting for you to kowtow and call me father,"" Krister confidently smirked, believing it was impossible for this poor man to enter."
