Chapter 1566
At 10.00PM, a ck sedan pulled up outside the entrance of the Dynasty, which was one of the most
opulent nightclubs in Granville and a favorite haunt for the scions of the Ten Greatest Families.
However, before the ck sedan could go any further, the men in ck stopped it.
"Sorry, the parking lot''s full. We''ve got orders to stop any more cars froming in," the man who
stood at the front of the group said humorlessly while the other security guards gazed at the ck
sedan contemptuously. They all knew that the person behind the wheel was none other than
Edmund of the Albright Family.
All the color drained from Edmund''s face. He knew what this confrontation meant. There was plenty of
space in the Dynasty''s expansive parking lot, and under normal circumstances, only half of it would be
used up while the rest was reserved for bigshots who might show up unannounced.
Two months ago, the manager of the Dynasty would have hurried out to greet Edmund and personally
guide him toward any avable space in the parking lot. He would even go to great lengths just to make
sure there was a space for Edmund even if the lot was packed to the brim.
However, tonight was different.
Following Edmund''s father''s death and his subsequent fall-out with the Albright Family, not even the
security guards at the Dynasty bothered to show Edmund an ounce of respect. Their gesture of
stopping him at the entrance was more than enough to make him feel diminutive and remind him of
how far he had fallen from his pedestal.
As indignant as Edmund was, he knew better than to pick a fight with these security guards. He was
aware of his current position. Granted, he was technically still a part of the Albright Family, but since
the death of his father, no one in the family actually cared about him anymore.
If he were to go head-to-head with these guards, his family would note to his defense at all. He
would be forced to bear the brunt of his own foolish pride and be the butt of the joke in Granville.
At the thought of all this, Edmund took a deep breath and swallowed his resentment.
He opened the door and got out of his car, then handed his keys to the man in ck who had mocked
him earlier.
If he could not drive into the premises, he was sure that he could ask for a valet. All he had to do was
tip the valet afterward.
While driving into the parking lot of the Dynasty was a status symbol, one who did not enjoy such a
privilege could still expect valet service. This was a clubhouse, after all, and a premium one at that.
Surely the management would not allow their guests to be put through the inconvenience of having to
find a parking lot for themselves.
However, the man in ck did not reach for the keys either and merely eyed Edmund with wicked
amusement as he drawled, "My, my. If it isn''t Edmund. I heard you''ve been cooped up at home for
days. What made you decide toe out to the Dynasty tonight, hmm? Got anything exciting going
on?" Then, he chuckled and said over his shoulders, "Hey, boys, look who''s here? It''s Edmund!"
At once, the other security guards stepped forward, surrounding Edmund as they teased sarcastically,
"Don''t you remember how our manager used toe down to escort you, Edmund? Those were the
days, huh?"
They sounded like they were jesting him in a friendly manner, but really, they were mocking him. He
used to be one of the most formidable scions in Stonedale, however, he was now just a shell of his
former glory, desperate to keep up appearances. s, his fall from grace had been too brutal, and it
didn''t look like he coulde back from it.
Presently, a grim look passed over his face as he growled through gritted teeth, "Go park my car, you
hear me?"

"Getting pissed, are we?"
"Jeez, we were only saying hi out of respect for you, man. You didn''t have to get all defensive."
"It''s a little unbing for you to snap at us like this, don''t you think, Edmund?" Updated at

"Do you think you''re better than us, Edmund?"
