Chapter 79 Controlling the Entire Scene
"In the face of Henry's provocationT, the first person to step forward in the face of Henry's provocation was Michelle's father, Noad. As soon as he saw the situationwhat was going on, he immediately realized this was his chance to impress William.
""THenry, the YJ Club doesn't explicitly require formal attire, Henry. Why do you care about what others someone else wears?""
Michelle couldn't just stand by and watch, so she spoke up to support William. ""Since there's no dress code, why do you bother so muchcare? HowIt's annoying.""
As Michelle spoke, she moved to pull William inside. However, Henry's lips curled into a cold smile, and he persisted, unwilling to let it go.
““TIndeed, there’ is no dress code for entering the YJ Club, but there is a dress code for the gatherings of the South district's business alliance,"" Henry said.
Noad and the others looked at each other, especially. Michelle, who was at a loss for words. They were not members of the business alliance and were not very familiar with their rules.
Just then, Elisa and her parents happened to walk over in their direction. When Klay heard what Henry was being saidsaying, he furrowed his brows and quickly stepped forward.
"I don’t remember any rule like that"Why do I remember that there is no such rule in the South district's business alliance's regulations? Or are you just making it up?"" Klay's surprising sudden appearance and support for William caught Henry off guard, and he became angry and embarrassed at havingthat his lie had been exposed.
"You’re on the verge of bankruptcy. "What right do you, someone on the verge of bankruptcy, have to speakmakes you think you can speak up here? My father and the other four leading figures have already decided to strip you of your membership in the business alliance,"" Henry retorted.
""Sorry to disappoint you, but the Klay Group has just received a $500 million investment from the Power Group. We are now fully firing up our industrial development. If you want to expel me from the business alliance, you'll have to go through a vote by all the members, not just your family,"" Klay calmly responded. He was, not easily fooled.
TUpon hearing these words, the surrounding members of the business alliance cast envious glances at him.
AGetting an investment from the Power Group didn’t just mean that your not only replenished their financial resources would be replenished. M but, more importantly, the Power Group would also send specialized personnel to help enhance your company’sthe transformation and upgradesing of the acquired companies. TIt was the assistance from these professionals that was most very valuable.
TFor a moment, the surrounding members of the business alliance began to whisper in awe.
""Klay seems to beis so lucky!""
""Why would Boss Jones be interested in Klay's rundown industries? It's really hard toI can’t understand it!""
" Klay will probably rise in the South district "wWith Boss Jones' investment and assistance, Klay is likely to rise in the South district!""
Henry couldn't help but feel angry upon hearing thiswhen he heard that, but he had nothing to say in response. However, his father, Brian, patted his shoulder and walked up to him.
""Klay, as a member of the alliance, who do you think you are to question the rules we have set? Today, I am banning this casually dressed young man from joining our business alliance today. It will tarnishes the image of our business alliance,"" Brian said with an expression that didn't said he wouldn’t tolerate any objections.
"Y"Brian, you're using your position for a personal vendetta, Brian."" Klay knew there was animosity between William and Henry, and the reason Henry didn't want William to enter was because he wanted to humiliate him, not because of his clothes.
""What's wrong with using my position for a personal vendetta? The Foster family is one of the five leading figures in the business alliance, and has we have the right to prohibit a non-member from attending the business alliance gathering,"" Brian directly stated his true intention. His domineering demeanor left no room for Klay to argue.
""You..."" Klay was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The oOthers from the business circle couldn't do anything either. The five leading figures did indeed have theis right to do that, and non-members could be prohibited from attending the alliance gathering.
""If we're not going can’t go in, we're leaving, William!"" Michelle angrily grabbed William's hand, intending to leave, but he stopped her.
""There’s nNo rush,,"" William said with a faint smile. He , then calmly took out a golden diamond card from his pocket. ""I have the diamond card of the South district Business Alliance and, enjoy ing the privileges of a core member. Do you think I wonder if I can go in now?""
The appearance of the golden card shocked everyone on the scenethere. It was's worth noting that only the five leading figures of the business alliance had this diamond card, and yetbut somehow, this person had one too.
Noad, Klay, and even Katharine were all shocked by William.
The crowd fell silent. Brian, who thought he had everything under control, was had been practically slapped in the face by a younger generation, man. He turned his face turning pale.
Henry, the useless manone, was unwilling to accept this and, immediately shouted at him, ""William, where did you get that gold card? I suspect think it's a fake.""
As soon as this statement was madeWhen Henry said that,, people in the crowd began to question it. A, after all, thatis diamond card was closely related to their interests.
""If you suspect its authenticity, you cany; then come and verify it yourself,!"" William said calmly.
Marcus, one of the five leading figures of the South district Business Alliance This had given him that diamond card was given to him by Marcus, one of the five leading figures of the South district Business Alliance.
The diamond gold card that was given as a gift is undoubtedlydefinitely authentic. But What surprised William was surprised, however, was that it wais being used here.!
""Alright, I’lllet me check it. If it's fake, I'll definitely kick you out,"" Henry said angrily as he strode over and took the diamond gold card from William's hand.
But as he examined it closely, he couldn't help but be shocked. It was indeeddid look identical to a real diamond gold card.
‘""Could this personhe really have a diamond gold card? No, I need to go find see Ffather and confirm it,’"" Henry thought to himself. With that, he took the diamond gold card and turned to Brian.
After examining the card carefully, Brian confirmed that it was indeed genuine. Thatis made him furrow his brows.
Who had given Williamgave him the diamond gold card?
Brian became moregrew cautious. Until he figured things ou Ht, he believed it would be better to leave William alone for now until he figured things out. After all, once they got inside, there would be plenty of opportunities to frame him. Whoever dareds to touch the Foster family's assets and shares wasis looking for trouble.
""You got lucky.,"" Brian unceremoniously threw the diamond gold card back to William, as if returning it. BJust before leaving, he couldn't help but remind William, ""But don't think that you can establish any relationships with those wealthy merchants once you're inside, you can establish relationships with those wealthy merchants. I’ will show you how formidable we are, and then you’ will regret coming in.""
""Let's go,"" Brian led the Foster family's people and enteredinto the YJ Club ahead of everyone.
""WilliamL, let's go in too, William!"" Michelle picked up the gold card witinh delight. She never hadn’t expected William to have a diamond gold card from the South District Business Alliance. It He had truly exceeded her expectations.
""Sure, let's go in!"" William nodded. However,But as he remembered the humiliation the Foster family had subjected him to and decided to keep it in mind, he thought. ‘You'll see just who will regret coming in.’"
