Chapter 136

Despite Millie’s amiable and attractive countenance, the guard maintained a stern expression for the sake of professionalism.

“Why can’t you eat while working? Isn’t that a bit rigid?”

“I'm not being rigid. You need to understand, the clientele frequenting this restaurant are from highly affluent families. If |

inadvertently permit someone with ill intentions to overhear sensitive discussions, the consequences would be far beyond what |

could handle.”

As the guard voiced these concerns, his gaze remained on Millie, subtly hinting that she was the potential threat.

“In that case, having a membership should grant me entry, correct? Take me to register for a membership.”

Challenged by the security guard’s assumption of her financial status, Millie rummaged in her purse, pulling out a gleaming gold

card. She was determined to gain entry and discover the allure of this mysterious establishment.

Caught off guard, the security guard was momentarily frozen, utterly taken aback that Millie, who appeared so young, possessed

a gold card.

He quickly relayed a message via his intercom, after which an employee from within emerged to escort Millie inside.

She was ushered into the membership registration area.

Exiting the area, Millie clutched her card and winced.

The security guard had not been exaggerating; the clientele permitted entry here were indeed from affluent families. She was still

reeling from the shock of having three hundred thousand dollars debited from her account for a mere one-week membership.

Upon her entrance for the membership registration, she was trailed by four imposing figures, their stern expressions revealing

their intention for forcing her to purchase the membership.

After completing the membership process, the manager subtly probed her under the pretense of providing assistance.

“Miss, do you have any queries?”

“why does a one-week membership cost three hundred thousand dollars? And why wasn’t | informed of the price before being

charged?”

In recent years, despite accumulating a decent amount through her jewelry design work, parting with three hundred thousand

dollars in one fell swoop sent her into a state of tremors.

“Are you having second thoughts? But | must inform you, we have a no-refund policy here.”

Turning around, Millie found herself encircled by several burly figures.

Suppressing her anger, Millie pursed her lips in silence.

“Do you still have any doubts? There's no need to worry. With so many affluent businessmen gathered here, all you need is to

latch onto one of them, and you'll live a life of opulence and indulgence for the rest of your days. The membership fee is a mere

trifle,” the manager remarked.

Millie forced a smile, but inside, she silently cursed, “Which one of your eyes saw me yearning to enter this place for a wealthy

businessman?”

As she stepped out of the room, she let out a sigh and lightly tapped her forehead.
