"So, you better leave now before security has to throw you out. That''d be pretty embarrassing, don''t you think?"
udia''s words made Zara furious. Unlike other women, udia''s sharpness was hidden behind her polite words, but you could still hear the disdain in her voice.
udia''s words effectively guided the security guards.
The guards actually started to push Zara and Chloe out.
Zara shielded Chloe as they were forced to step back. Chloe''s face turned icy cold.
She knew that saying anything more would be useless. The only thing she could do was call Adide toe.
If she were indeed escorted out by security from this exclusive wine club today, then in the days toe, she would forever dwell under the shadow of udia''s scorn.
Zara couldn''t stand seeing Chloe being treated this way. "udia, you might be a big deal in this circle, but that doesn''t give you the right to look down on us."
"How do you know Aurelia won''t give the Davis Family some respect? Could it be that Aurelia is a rtive of the Davis Family?"
Zara''s words made udiaugh out loud.
She stared at Zara and said, "You young people, trying to find Aurelia without even knowing her background."
"Aurelia has been in this circle for years, and we''ve never heard of her having any rtives. You pretending to be her rtives is just ridiculous."
Seeing udia''s face, Chloe stopped Zara from saying more.
She lifted her chin and asked udia, "What makes you think I''m pretending to be Aurelia''s rtive?"
"I have an engagement with the Martin Family. Do you think I need to pretend to be Aurelia''s rtive?"
"udia, the true measure of a person''s worth is not merely skin-deep, and I harbor no wish to be your adversary. However, should you continue to tread upon me with your contempt, do not feign surprise when I cease to extend you the courtesy you''ve failed to earn. A single word whispered to Grant, and the potential investment for your uing film could vanish like morning mist. "
"And if Aureliaes out and sees you giving me a hard time, do you think she''ll turn against you? Or maybe she''ll have you thrown out of here?"
The backing behind Chloe''s words made udia reconsider. After all, the Davis Family
and the Martin Family were not forces anyone could afford to offend.
As udia looked on in surprise, Chloe took out her phone and called Adide.
"Auntie, I''m at the address you gave me, but someone won''t let me in."
As soon as Chloe finished speaking, Adide came out of the club, saying, "Who dares to stop my niece froming in?"
Adide arrived at the entrance, followed by some very influential-looking people.
When udia saw Chloe calling Adide "Auntie," her slight buzz from the alcohol instantly cleared.
Chloe''s identity made her wary.
Not only was Chloe ady of the Davis Family and the future mistress of the Martin Family, but she was also calling Aurelia "Auntie"?
Her luck in life was just too incredible.

"Auntie..." Chloe called out when she saw Adide.
Adide rushed over to Chloe, hugging her tightly. "Chloe, it''s been years since Ist saw you. You''ve grown so much! Oh my, I almost didn''t recognize you."
"Who, who wouldn''t let my niece in? Step forward!" After hugging Chloe, Adide immediately switched to protective mode, which scared udia.
Adide''s questioning left udia no choice but to respond.
She quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, "Adide, there''s been a misunderstanding. I didn''t recognize your niece and thought they were just fans. I''m sorry, it was my mistake."
udia''s humble demeanor showed that after this incident, she would never dare to act so arrogantly in front of Chloe again.
Adide nced at udia and then pulled Chloe to her side, saying, "I hope this mistake doesn''t happen again. If it does, udia, you won''t be able to stay in this circle anymore."
udia might be a big shot in the circle, but in front of Adide, she was nothing. With just a look from Adide, the investors would pull their support from udia, and without resources, udia would be out of the circle.
udia quickly nodded, "Yes, Adide, I was wrong. This mistake won''t happen again." Before udia could finish, Adide led Chloe into the club, introducing her to her friends.
Zara followed behind Chloe, smugly wrinkling her nose at udia.
Sweat broke out on udia''s forehead.
She had always been the one to show off in front of others, but after meeting Chloe, she realized her arrogance was useless. Chloe always managed to strike back precisely.
Inside the club, Adide introduced Chloe to her friends.
Everyone admired Chloe''s looks and praised her, using the most ttering words.
"Adide''s niece is so cute, she really takes after Adide."
"Adide is so outstanding, her niece must be amazing too."
"Adide has such great taste in fashion, and her niece''s style is just as likable."
Thesepliments left Zara stunned. Adide had called in a hurry, and Chloe had only worn a simple Chanel suit.
Was this style really worth all the praise?
In this environment, Chloe was in her element. She politely thanked everyone and, while Adide was talking to others, handed Zara a ss of what must have been very expensive wine.
"Zara, drink up. This ss of wine is worth at least twenty thousand dors. One sip and twenty thousand dors are gone," Chloe exined.
The price shocked Zara.
