"No need for that, Manager. This situation is beyond your control. Besides, you couldn’t have anticipated a loose dog barking on your premises, could you?" Hera gave Sienna a sidelong nce before presenting her invitation to the manager. "Here is my invitation," she said. Hera offered the invitation despite knowing Cindy had already called ahead to reduce any suspicion about her presence. Since Cindy hadn’t mentioned any issues with the invitation card, it meant there was no mistake, and this invitation held special significance.


    As soon as the manager saw the rainbow invitation card, his smile widened. He immediately recognized the card and understood the significance it held for their sole heiress. With a respectful bow, he took the invitation card with both hands. He then walked behind the receptionist’s desk, entered a special code into the system, and scanned the back of the invitation card, where a chip was embedded.


    Both the receptionist, Gael, Bry and his father, and Sienna watched with curiosity as the manager handled the invitation card. Sienna wanted to challenge the validity of the invitation, but she bit her tongue, recognizing that the manager, being the one in charge, would be the most familiar with the invitation cards and their significance.


    If the manager epted the invitation card and was acting so deferential to Hera, it could only mean one thing. Sienna watched with bated breath, eager to see how the situation would unfold. After scanning the back of the invitation card, a prompt appeared on the system, indicating that another chip needed to be scanned. The manager then looked up at Hera.


    "Miss Ainsley, may I borrow your ck Dragon Card toplete the registration process?" The manager said, and Gael and Sienna’s eyes dted after hearing the ck Dragon Card that they only heard and sounded more like a myth in a legend than reality because there just so limited number of that card that they had yet to see one even when they both belong to the upper crust of the wealthy.


    Typically, such procedures arepleted in a private office, involving multiple verifications and a lengthy process. However, the manager’s decision to verify the invitation and handle the registration right then and there, issuing a membership card on the spot, was a deliberate choice. It was meant to demonstrate, not only to Sienna but to everyone present, including the neers, that Hera held a prestigious position that was beyond reproach and not easily challenged.


    Even without explicitly revealing her identity as the Avery family’s sole heiress, it was clear that they would not tolerate anyone bullying or speaking ill of her. Hera observed the manager’s actions and, embracing her decision to be petty that day, chose to fully support the manager’s stance. She produced her ck card, carefully obscuring her name with her finger before handing it to the manager. The manager, understanding her subtle cue, also covered the name on the card as he epted it.


    The manager scanned the card, and a loading screen appeared on his device. Momentster, it confirmed that an ount for Hera was already active. He looked up at Hera with a sheepish smile. <i>’Of course, Young Miss already has an ount—how could I have missed that? Still, this is a good opportunity to demonstrate to others,’</i> he said, nodding with satisfaction. The receptionist beside him looked on in stunned confusion, observing a procedure far different from their usual routine.


    The receptionist’s astonishment grew when the name disyed on the screen made her heart leap into her throat. Her wide eyes darted to Hera’s face, only to find Hera smiling with crescent-shaped eyes. In that instant, it became clear to her that Hera was silently signaling her to stay silent.


    The manager chuckled lightly. "It appears you’re already registered in our system, so the invitation card wasn’t necessary. However, if you pass it on to a friend, we could issue a ck tinum membership card for them immediately."


    The new arrivals approaching the receptionist area froze, their eyes widening in disbelief as they processed the manager’s words. They stared at him as if he had grown another head, struggling to understand what he meant by a ck tinum membership card—something they hadn’t even heard of, since they only knew of tinum as the highest membership level.
