Chapter 1567
Edmund was furious. He never expected to be insulted like this, certainly not by the likes of these
security guards. He didn’t know that the guards had always been sycophants, which was why they had
toadied him while he was still in the good graces of the Albright Family. Now that he had fallen from
grace, these guards did not hesitate to pick on him, adding insult to his injury.
But as things were, Edmund knew better than to get into the fight with these folks. He had neither
fortune nor power to his name now, and he probably wouldn''t survive an actual brawl with the guards.
As such, he swallowed his pride and fury, then mumbled apologetically, "I''m sorry if what I said rubbed
you guys the wrong way. I didn''t mean to offend you, and I don''t think I''m better than you either. I came
here tonight because I needed to go into the club and settle some... business. I can always park my car
elsewhere if you''re all too busy keeping watch at the entrance. How about that?"
He had never been so humiliated in his life.
Upon hearing this, the men in ck guffawed, and their leader snorted as he said, "Oh,e on,
what''s with the formalities, Edmund? Hey, boys, did you hear that? Edmund just apologized to us! What
do you say if we let him off this time, huh?"
The rest of the guards echoed their jesting agreement.
Satisfied, the leading man in ck took Edmund''s car keys and tossed them to another young man
standing at the side, then chuckled at Edmund as he said, "You''re a guest here, Edmund. We''ll have
your car parked in a neat little spot somewhere, but do you think you could tip us first? You know how
rough things are for us out here."
This was the first time Edmund hade across tipping before the valet actually parked the car. More
often than not, those who asked for valet service would tip only after their cars had been retrieved.
They''re looking down their noses at me! But as outraged as he was, he could not argue with these
men, not if he wanted to avoid getting beaten up.
He mutely pulled out a couple of bills and handed them to the guard, then bit out, "Will that be
enough?”
The guardughed heartily. "How generous of you, Edmund! Come on, get yourself into the club. Have
a great night!"
Edmund gritted his teeth and made his way toward the main entrance of the Dynasty, fixing his gaze on
the ground as he walked.
Outside, the security guards burst out into raucousughter. One of them approached the leader and
asked in a low voice, "Say, chief, why did you ask for a tip before you let him through? You worried he
hasn''t got enough cash on him or something?"

The leader shot his peer a withering look. "Use your head, kid. Don''t you know why Edmund came here
in the first ce?"
The other guards shook their heads
nkly.
Seeing this, the leader rolled his eyes and barked, "For crying out loud, you guys don''t have a single
brain cell among you! Didn''t you realize how Edmund’s been cooped up at home since the incident with
the Albright Family? This is the first time he''se out in weeks, and the first ce he goes to is the
Dynasty. Need any more clues, fes?" Upon seeing the bewildered looks on the other guards'' faces,
he sighed and exined with forced patience, "Fine, I''ll tell you. Julian Huntington, the heir to the
Huntingtons'' name and fortune, is here at the club tonight with none other than Odette. What do you
make
of that, boys?"
"But she''s the youngdy of the Sinir Family!"
"Why is she hanging around Julian all of a sudden?"
The leader scoffed. "We don''t concern ourselves with rich-people problems. All you boys need to know
is that Odette used to be Edmund''s girlfriend; they were even engaged at one point." New chapter

Enlightened, the men startedughing. "So, Odette tossed Edmund aside and went for Julian, huh?"
