Though the general manager hadn’t expected the boss to be such a young girl, he never dared to underestimate her, only showing absolute (album
A glimmer of suspicion flashed in Wallace’s eyes. “Why’d you suddenly send us super VIP cards?”
The manager replied, “Mr. Vance, you have no ties to the Vance family. It was just a case of mistaken involvement back then.
“We’ve sent you the super VIP cards to make up for the mistakes of these past years. We hope it meets your satisfaction.” He lied without batting an eye.
Wallace didn’t believe him and thought, ‘No matter what the hotel’s motives are, it doesn’t matter. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. All that matters is that the Queen’s Hall is available. Shari’s coming–of–age party had to be unique!
Before long, the eight brothers sent out countless invitations for Sharon’s coming–of–age party, extending them to everyone of high status, including their competitors who fit the bill.
Janelle sneered. “No matter how grand this party is supposed to be, it will only be held in some low–end hotel. They don’t even have the means to get into the Atlantis Hotel. But Ash’s coming–of–age party was held there.”
Ashley’s face showed a smug expression. She had always thought that Sharon, whom she saw as a country bumpkin, couldn’t compare to her. Ashley had just thrown a lavish coming–of–age party of her own not long ago.
“Let me see where that little brat is holding her ceremony. I’ll make sure she regrets it.” Garrett grabbed the invitation on the table, a mocking, disdainful look on his face. But when he saw the address on it, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. “W–wait, am I seeing this right?”
“What’s wrong, Gary? Did they just book some random five–star hotel for the party?” asked Ashley.
Garrett gaped, unable to close his mouth for a long while.
Ashley snatched the invitation from his hands. When she saw the address, she exclaimed in shock, “It’s in the Atlantis Hotel. And they’re holding it in the Queen’s Hall! Are they crazy? Could this invitation be fake?
“The Queen’s Hall? No way! Aren’t the eight young men of the Vance family on the blacklist? Besides, the Queen’s Hall has never been open to the public. since the hotel was built, let alone used for a party.”
Meanwhile, she thought, ‘That’s the Queen’s Hall we’re talking about. Countless influential people had tried to get access to hold events there, but were turned away. Sharon doesn’t deserve this.
‘Did the eight men stumble upon some kind of miracle during their disappearance over the past half month?‘
At the same time, word reached the Vance Mansion.
When Roxanne heard about the coming–of–age party, her face darkened immediately. “That cursed girl. How dare she throw a party!”
The Vance family was on the brink of collapse. Every day, different people came by, threatening and intimidating them.
If it weren’t for the deal with the Pierce family, which sent high–ranking martial artists to protect them, they probably wouldn’t even dare stay in the mansion anymore.
And all of this was because of Sharon. If that post stayed up, people would keep coming. But Sharon’s eight brothers protected Sharon so well that no one could get close to her, let alone even see her.
Wayne looked like he had aged a lot in the past few weeks. He had always thought of himself as the most capable member of the Vance family, but now he realized how far he had fallen short of that.

He’d even thought of asking those people from the forum for help, but they were mysterious and Impossible to contact of ligure out.
Every time he mentioned the missing person notice, people would simply ignore him. Clearly, someone had given orders to ensure no one woul care of this matter.
“Gary, what do we do now? Should we ask Mr. Baxter for help?” asked Karen
She had just returned from a trip abroad, only to find her family in complete chaos. She was furious that Sharon had forced their grandmother to apologize and had some shady friends issue a missing person notice.
“What’s the point of looking for Nicholas? This is all Sharon’s doing,” Wayne snapped. He was in a foul mood and on the edge of losing it.
Wayne and his family had become a laughingstock. Worse still, Richard and his brothers were openly hosting disregarding Wayne and his family.
a coming–of–age party, completely
“Gary, there’s no way that post is made by one of Sharon’s friends. She’s from such a poor place–how could she have the ability to do something like
this?
“It must be the Baxter family stepping in for her. And Sharon has the gall to say it was her friend who posted it? She’s so shameless,” said Karen.
Wayne felt the same way. But he knew the crux of the matter lay with Sharon. If she softened her attitude, the Baxter family might just take the post down.
Rubbing his temples, Wayne said, “Let me see the invitation. Later, have someone send over a generous gift.” He knew their grandmother well–she’d rather die than apologize.”
Annoyed, Karen tossed the invitation at him, but it fell to the ground. With a sarcastic tone, she said, “Just send her any random thing. A poor girl like her probably thinks a cheap trinket is a treasure. Her coming–of–age ceremony will probably be held at some no–name hotel.”
These days, the coming–of–age parties for daughters of influential and prestigious families were all held in the Princess Hall of the Atlantis Hotel.
Karen hadn’t had that opportunity, and she figured Sharon wouldn’t either. Thinking about it that way made her feel a little better.
When Wayne saw the content of the invitation, his face instantly contorted with shock. He bent down and picked it up. “This can’t be real!” he shouted.
He thought, ‘How could it be held at Atlantis?! And in the Queen’s Hall, no less. How did the eight of them pull this off?‘
“Gary, why are you so shocked?” Karen asked. She leaned over, and when she saw the location of the event, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
She laughed out loud and said, “This is impossible. This invitation has to be fake! There’s no way this is real!”
Roxanne and Madeline couldn’t sit still anymore and asked in unison, “What’s going on?”
“Grandma, do you know where the ceremony will be held? The Atlantis Hotel, and in the Queen’s Hall–the one that’s never been open for any events.
“How could this be real? They’re just putting on a show, trying to save face,” Karen said, refusing to believe it.
Over the years, the daughters of countless influential figures, including the heads of the four great families and even the president, had held their coming–of–age ceremonies in the Princess Hall.
The Queen’s Hall was rumored to be the private venue of the hotel’s mysterious owner, never available to the public. No one had ever even seen the owner of the hotel, and the Queen’s Hall had become something of a legend.
That was why Sharon was so furious that Sharon, whom she considered a country bumpkin, got to use it; she believed that Sharon didn’t d
Roxanne sneered. “With brothers like those eight, there’s no way the girl could be a decent person. She lied through her teeth. Just wait this whole thing will blow up in their faces, and we’ll all have a good laugh.”
But Wayne furrowed his brows deeply. Somehow, it didn’t seem fake to him. After all, Richard and his brothers treated Sharon exceptionally well and

wouldn’t joke about something like this.
Watching his family scoff and dismiss it all, Wayne felt a wave of sadness wash over him. ‘What if it’s true?” he thought. Then, after this pony » probably forget about our branch.
After all, no one likes associating with the weak. Have my efforts over all this time been in vain?”
Naturally, the Baxter family had also received the invitation.
When Arnold, Nicholas’s father, saw that the party would be held at the Queen’s Hall, many thoughts crossed his mind. He casually tossed the invitation to his son. “Take a look. Your fiancée might become the talk of the town.”
He couldn’t help but wonder how Sharon managed to get such special treatment, given that the Queen’s Hall had never been opened to the public since
its establishment.
