“Are you kidding me? Five million dors for Deluxe VIP?” Astonishment was written all over James‘
face.
“Exactly! This is daylight robbery!” Florence flew into a rage to cover up her embarrassment. She was
lucky she drew her card back in time, or she would have maxed out on her card.
“These are rules set by our proprietor. If that’s too much for you, you can opt for the regr VIP.”
“And— how much would the regr VIP cost?” Florence probed.
“A deposit of one million dors will make you a regr VIP.” the waiter informed them.
“One million? That’s not much better!” Florence frowned. “We’re just here for a meal. It won’t cost so
much. Can’t you just let us in? I’ll make sure you get handsomely tipped!” Had she known that Hillview
Restaurant charged such exorbitant prices, she would never have chosen to go there in the first ce!
“I’m sorry, but we only serve VIPs.” The waiter put on a professional smile.
“Hey! Why are you so inflexible? Get me your manager! I’ll talk to him personally!” Florence could no
longer hold in her temper.
“I’m sorry, but our manager is currently serving three other distinguished guests. I’m afraid he doesn’t
have the time.” The waiter’s smile was slowly fading away.
“You!” Florence was exasperated.
“Mom, forget it. Why don’t we just go somewhere else?” James prompted. As lovely as Hillview
Restaurant
was, it was way too pricey.
“We’re already here! We’ll make a joke of ourselves if we leave now!” Florence red at him.
“Allow me, Mrs. Nicholson.”
Matt smiled as he stepped forward, gracefully producing a gold card and handing it to the waiter. “I am
a Gold
VIP, so I get 20% off on all my spending here.”
“Gold VIP?” That gave Florence quite a shock. “How much did that cost you?”
“Not too much, just ten million dors.” Matt smiled.
“Ten million?”
Florence and James‘ eyes widened. Was he joking? Ten million dors, not too much? They had
thought that
they were pretty well off, but it seemed like they were nothingpared to Matt!
“Please step inside, honored guests!” In a sh, the waiter’s attitude changed and became exceedingly
weing after verifying that the card was valid.
“Shall we?” Matt gestured courteously for them to go first.
“Hmph! Bootlicker! My friend Matt here is a Gold VIP! See that?” James strutted in pompously after
giving the
waiter a dirty look.

Feeling very pleased, Florence sashayed in with her chest puffed up and head held high.
Just then, Dustin emerged from one of the private rooms. He had been on his way to the men’s room
when he bumped into them.
“Rhys? What are you doing here?” James scowled at the sight of him. He was still very much hung up
on being pped a while back.
“If you can be here, then so can I,” Dustin answered coldly.
“Hah! What makes you think we’re on the same level? We are Gold VIPs here,” James dered
snobbishly.
“That’s right! This ce is exclusively for VIPS, requiring a deposit of one million dors for even the
most basic VIP. Can you afford that?” Florence remarked condescendingly.
“Indeed, I do not have a million dors,” Dustin admitted. It was true that he did not have much. But it
would
not be hard for him to get the money.
“Then what are you doing here if you do not have the money? Get out! Do not lower the standards
here!” James * expression was one of contempt.
“Exactly! Go look at yourself in the mirror! Who are you to appear in such a posh restaurant?” Florence
sniggered.
“Oi! You there! Come here and get this guy out! He’s ruining our appetite!” James waved a waiter over
to kick Dustin out of the restaurant.
“I’m sorry, he is one of our guests too.” The waiter smiled apologetically.
“So what? We are Gold VIPs! Is he more distinguished than us? I am telling you to get rid of this
person! This is an order!” James barked.
“Um…” The waiter looked uneasy.
“What? Are you going to disregard a Gold VIP? With such service, you better watch out. I have quite a
mind to lodge aint against you!” Florence threatened.
“My apologies, but we do not have such rules here.” The waiter had his hands tied.
“Hmph! If you can’t make the call, get your manager here!”
“That’s right! Get the manager here! I’d like to see if he prioritizes this miserable man over his Gold
VIPs!” Florence and James pressed unforgivingly. They were making a big show out of having a Gold
VIP card. Even the other diners were throwing them dirty looks.
Under their persistent demands, the waiter dared not say more and rushed off to get the manager.
“Mom, what are the both of you doing?” Dahlia called out as she arrived. She was surprised to see
Dustin. Why are you here?”
“I’m here for a meal, of course. Why else?” Dustin shrugged.
“This is quite a pricey ce for a meal,” Dahlia reminded him.

“Oh, so you think I can’t afford to have a meal here too?” Dustin raised a brow.
“I didn’t mean that…”
Just as Dahlia was about to exin herself, the waiter rushed back with the manager.
“I’m the manager here. Is anything the matter?”
“So you’re the manager? Great! There’s a man who sneaked in. I’m ordering you to get him out of here
immediately!” James was swollen with arrogance.

“Sir, you must be mistaken. We have very strict security here. No one is able to sneak in,” the manager
exined.
“And I’m telling you, there is! I’m warning you, we are Gold VIPs! If you do not want trouble, you best
do as I “say!”
“That’s right! He’s affecting me and seriously ruining my appetite. I don’t care what you say, just get him
out of here!”
Florence and James were throwing their weight around, not bothering to y nice. 1
“Could you please let me know who you are referring to?” the manager inquired.
“It’s him!” James pointed at Dustin.
The manager’s expression clouded over when he saw that. “Excuse me, sir, please do not try to y
the fool!”
“What? You’re defying me? We are Gold VIPs!” James glowered. He sounded like a broken tape
recorder.
The manager simply scoffed at that. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Gold VIP. Even if you were the
President of Stonia himself, it wouldn’t matter. Because this man here is the owner of Hillview
Restaurant!”
The whole room fell into a breathless silence.
