Chapter 36


    The video call connected quickly.


    "Martin, what''s going on?" Lucas'' voice came through the phone.


    "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Lucas, but you mentioned your wife would be here today. Now, we''ve got


    two Mrs. Moncadas. Can you tell us which one is your wife?" Martin said, panning his camera over


    Chloe and Linda.


    Lucas furrowed his brows—he hadn''t expected Chloe to also show up today. She must have found


    out Linda wasing and decided to tag along. Chloe always had topete with Linda about


    everything.


    Without much hesitation, Lucas said, "The one in white is my wife."


    Linda was indeed wearing white today, while Chloe was dressed in a pink tracksuit.


    The manager, smiling, said, "Got it, Mr. Lucas. We''ll take it from here and make sure Mrs. Moncada


    is well taken care of."


    After the call ended, whispers filled the room. A crowd had already gathered in the hall, including


    many socialites and high-societydies.


    "She actuallyes here pretending to be someone''s wife and gets caught. How embarrassing."


    "With a face like that, maybe she''s here trying to hook up with a guy."


    "She could be Mr. Lucas'' side piece and is here to provoke the real wife. Why else would she use


    Mr. Lucas'' name ande on the same day as Mrs. Moncada?"


    Chloe and Lucas had actually had a wedding ceremony three years ago, attended by just a few


    close rtives and friends. So, while people in Riverbrook knew Mr. Lucas was married, they didn''t


    know who his bride was.


    Amid the gossip, Chloe seemed unfazed. Kyle approached her, his demeanor much less courteous


    than before.


    "Miss, you''re not a member here. Please leave immediately."


    Without a hint of embarrassment, Chloezily pulled out a card from her bag. "Then I''ll sign up for a


    membership now. Can I go in then?"


    The room fell silent.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The manager, taken aback, said, "Well, you can... but the membership fee here..."


    "Two million, I know. Charge it," she said.


    Many were shocked, still processing what had just happened. Thedies who had sneered at Chloe


    were now speechless. Most of them had essed the club using their husbands'' or fathers''


    memberships, not their own.


    The manager''s expression changed dramatically, his smile even brighter than before. He even


    neglected Linda and directed the front desk to take Chloe inside while he personally escorted her to


    the VIP room to process her membership card.


    The young gentlemen gathered around Connor showed increasing interest.


    "That card looks like a tinum Cheetah Card, right? There are only five hundred in the world, and


    all major banks ept it. It offersplimentary services at all seven-star hotels globally, a true


    status symbol."


    "I remember Mr. Connor has one too. There are no more than twenty people in the entire country


    who have this card and they''re all of exceptional standing."


    "What''s Ms. Chloe''s background?"


    Those who had ridiculed Chloe were now wide-eyed. Two million dors might not have been a big


    deal, but owning that tinum card was another story. It''s not something the average wealthy


    person could have. The issuing institution of this card had extremely strict criteria. Even among


    royal families worldwide, no more than three individuals owned this card.


    Ms. Chloe''s identity was a mystery.


    Of course, Chloe was unaware of all this. The card was for an ount her friend had opened for


    her. The annual dividends QUEEN paid her were all deposited into this card. The bnce had


    already reached eight hundred million dors. To her, two million was trivial.
