Chapter 335

As the two were talking, they saw someone walking over on the road not far away from them.

“Huh, isn’t that Matthew? Why is he here?” Lily was surprised.

Glancing toward the direction, Charlie laughed, “I guess this dumbass walked here. The Thousand Lakes Manor doesn’t allow taxis to enter. He must have come by taxi and was blocked outside, so he had to walk in by himself.”

Lily burst into laughter. “Hahaha, that was interesting! The main gate was about six to seven miles away from here, did he really walk all the way here? How embarrassing!”

In the meantime, Matthew had already reached the entrance of the hall.

The security guards by the door were all looking at him cautiously.

Obviously, they had never seen anyone walking here.

The Thousand Lakes Manor was the most prestigious estate in the Eastcliff.

The residents here were extremely rich and the parking lots were always parked with luxury cars. They had never seen anyone coming over on foot.

Furthermore, Matthew’s outfit looked like they were from the stalls, looking way shabbier than the security guards here.

Stopping Matthew, one of the security guards yelled, “Hey you! Stop there! What are you doing here?”

Matthew responded, “I’m here for the conference!”

Exchanging glances with the others, the security guard in front frowned. “The conference? Supposedly, you should have the invitation letter. Do you have it?”

Matthew was puzzled. He did not have one of those invitation letters because the participants didn’t need them.

However, none of the participants had come over just as Matthew did.

The other participants had arrived in Eastcliff a few days in advance and were all staying in a five-star hotel.

The authority would send someone to pick them up when the conference is about to start. There was no reason why they would need an invitation letter.

It was the first time they had ever seen someone walking here like Matthew.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have the invitation letter, but I am here to participate in the conference,” Matthew answered.

Instantly, the security guards mocked, “Without the invitation letter, how are you going to attend the conference? Did you think that this is a market where you can come and go as you wish? Do you know how famous this conference is? Even the big entrepreneurs in Eastcliff couldn’t get their hands on the ticket. Who do you think you are? Walking here in empty hands, expecting us to let you in with your words?”

Frowning, Matthew thought, Why is he so rude?

At that moment, an insulting voice came from behind suddenly. “Oh, isn’t this Matthew? What happened? Didn’t the Cunninghams lend you one of their cars? You should’ve told us you are coming too.

We drove here by ourselves. If you told us earlier, we would’ve let you drive and you will be able to come in, isn’t it? Why did you come here by yourself? Look at you, sweating so much! Even your clothes are fading! Tsk, tsk! How pitiful!”

Turning his head, Matthew saw Charlie and Lily standing right behind him arrogantly.

The security guards were shocked. “Do you both know him? Is he here for the conference? He doesn’t have the invitation letter… ”

“We do know him, but we are not together. Here, this is our invitation letter. Please have a look,”

Charlie answered and handed the letters to the guards at once.

Skimming through the letters, they nodded. “There’s no problem with your invitation letters, so both of you may enter now.”

With their nose in the air, Charlie and Lily entered the hall. They laughed and teased, “Matthew, we will get going then. If you really couldn’t make it, please wait for us out here. When the conference is over, we might need you to drive us back and we could drop you off along the way. After all, it’s not easy to get a taxi around here!”
