Chapter 287 A Slap In Graeme's Face
"It's good to see him leave. Otherwise, I can't help but doubt whether the company belongs to me or
him."
Chloe understood quickly and said, "Sophia, don't mind it. Drake is outstanding. He can upstage every
man even though he stands still without saying a word."
That was true though!
In fact, Sophia was not that angry. She just thought he needed to be taken down a peg in case he
would be smug in front of her.
"Oh, an auction will be held in the evening. I hear there's something good. Shall we go together?"
Auction?
It sounded fun!
"Sure!"
After work, Sophia and Chloe intended to go to the auction. Unexpectedly, Drake, Bailey, and Flynn
were waiting for them.
Chloe asked, "We're going to an auction. How about you?"
Bailey said, "What a coincidence! We come to drive you there."
Sophia and Chloe looked at each other. In a case like this, they could only go with them.
Soon, they arrived at where the auction held. When they five got off the car, they met Julia and
Graeme, the two people they were "familiar" with.
Jesus, a coincidence again!
Julia was in a luxurious suit, with her chin up like a proud peafowl.
She was walking towards the venue with Graeme arm in arm.
When Julia noticed them five, she said with a scornful look, "Sophia? Chloe? What are you doing
here?"
Last time, Chloe had known how pretentious the woman was, and thus she didn't play nice with her,
"Obviously, we're taking part in the auction!"
"Taking part in the auction?" Julia sneered, "How ridiculous! You can't even enter the auction, can you?
Let alone afford any stuff!"
Drake whispered to Sophia, "The Frost family has gone bankrupt. Why is this man named Graeme
Frost still so arrogant?"
"Last time I went home, Travis told me when the Frost family got into trouble, the branch family where
Graeme lived in has cut ties with the Frost family, so they were not influenced. But they are not as
wealthy as before."
Julia had no idea what they were talking about, but she guessed they were talking something bad.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Why not speak out!"
Sophia tossed a glance at her but didn't reply to her. Then, she took out an invitation letter and handed
it to the usher.
After checking it through, the usher said deferentially, "Good evening, Ms. Lawson. Please come in!"
Julia hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Her invitation is counterfeit.
Why let them in?"
The usher looked cold and said, "Miss, if you want to go inside, please show me your invitation. If not,
please leave and do not disrupt the order."
"Do you listen to me? Their invitations are fake! Can't you verify them?"
"Surely, we can judge whether the invitation is fake or not. Miss, you can put your mind at ease about
it."
Graeme came over and said, "Bro, do you know who I am? You don't want to work here? My name is
Graeme Frost. I come from the Pinkerton Frost family. Pay attention to your attitude! Be nice to my
lady. You know what, I can fire you with a phone call."
"Are you getting in?" The usher remained cold.
"You..." Graeme didn't expect that such a minion would not show him respect, especially in front of so
many people, and he picked up the phone immediately, "Wait and see!"
Graeme made a phone call.
Sophia thought the usher got into trouble because of them, so she asked, "Do you need help?"
"No, thanks!" The usher smiled at her politely.
Flynn patted on Sophia's shoulder and whispered, "Here is the turf of the Duncan family. The usher has
recognized Bailey."
Sophia smiled. Well done. The usher was promising.
Graeme thought that he could turn the usher away, but he failed.
Hanging up the phone, he looked sullen. Julia asked him anxiously, "What's going on?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Graeme glanced at the usher and said, "I should not sink to your level. But if you fell into my hands,
you know what will happen to you."
Then, he was about to walk inside.
But the usher didn't intend to let him go, "Please show me your invitation. If you don't have one, I'm
sorry that I can't let you in."
"Damn it! What's wrong with you! Of course, I have!" Graeme threw the invitation in his hand to the
usher.
The usher examined it and said, "Sorry, your invitation is fake. You can't go in."
Graeme got mad because of shame. Seemingly, he gave full vent to his anger.
"What the fuck are you saying? My invitation is fake? You need to wake the hell up! Is it fake?"
But the usher replied calmly, "I'm sure it's fake."
"I come from the Pinkerton Frost family ..."
Before he finished his words, the usher gestured him to stop, "Sir, if you don't leave right now, I'll call
security."
"You..."
Sophia and other four people enjoyed the farce for a while and then went into the venue.
Chloe kept laughing, seeming that she just heard a great joke, "Ha-ha, it's so-called a thief crying 'Stop
thief'. Their invitations are fake instead of ours."
Bailey looked at her tenderly, "Is it that fun?"
"Why not? I live for such a joke! Ha-ha-ha!"
Flynn also thought it interesting, "It proves the truth that a slap in the face follows closely if you get
carried away. If we didn't take part in the auction, we wouldn't find such a funny thing."
Soon after, they saw Zain show up there. At the same time, Olivia was present with Roman. Surely,
there were a lot of people attending the auction, including Harris.
However, Zain didn't gather with Olivia. They might avert suspicion.
Flynn said with interest, "It seems that the auction today is not that easy!"
Sophia and other three people kept silent, but all of them were clear in mind.
Everyone noticed that Olivia and Roman didn't stay with Drake, though the three of them were the
Rileys. The crowd knew very well about the situation, but they didn't talk about it.
However, no one knew what would happen tonight.
After a while, a beautiful hostess in an attractive suit stepped on the stage. She made a preliminary
statement of the auction at first and then cut to the chase.
