The moment the Hawke family heard the ticket price was a hundred thousand dollars each, they were absolutely floored.
Lysander moved his lips. "What... a hundred thousand dollars each?"
Might as well be highway robbery.
Granted, for some events, a hundred thousand dollars for an entry ticket wasn't outrageous.
But they needed three more tickets. That would be three hundred thousand dollars. And it wasn't even some elite, exclusive banquet.
Sure, it was hosted by the Lancaster Group, but still, nothing extraordinarily special.
But the Hawke family had already dressed to the nines and backing out now was just not an option. They couldn't let anyone see them falter.
So, with no other choice, they reluctantly parted with the three hundred thousand dollars.
Dorian paid with his card, his brow furrowed tightly. Sure, he wasn't hurting for that kind of money, but how he spent it definitely affected the mood.
Once the tickets were paid for, security finally let the Hawke family in. As soon as they entered, they spotted the Blackwell family.
Warm greetings were exchanged, and Alden and Grace moved over to mingle with the Blackwell elders.
Theo wasn't attending tonight due to a previous injury from an incident with Miranda that left a scar.
While the elders chatted away, Arabella was off talking to two familiar heiresses.
Meanwhile, the four Hawke boys were drawing quite a bit of attention, becoming the evening's focal point with their striking looks.
The eldest was a dashing, cool-headed CEO, the second was a sophisticated and well-known attorney, and the twins were equally impressive: one a rising star in the esports world, the other having already held two world violin tours before even reaching adulthood, even performing at top opera houses worldwide.
The Hawke brothers were already quite famous in their circles, and their good looks only added to their allure, earning quite a bit of attention and admiration from the young heiresses of high society, which was why the heiresses felt like getting in touch with Arabella.
Arabella couldn't help but complain, "Isn't the Lancaster family being a bit stingy? Only two people per invite, and an extra ticket costs a hundred thousand dollars!"
One of the heiresses, who usually got along with Arabella, frowned slightly. "Really? I hadn't heard that."
Another heiress looked at Arabella in surprise. "I haven't heard that either. Our family came with four people on one invitation."
Their conversation wasn't far from where Alden and Grace, along with the four brothers, were standing, so the Hawke boys overheard it.
Hearing the other families didn't have to pay extra, the four exchanged glances.
What was going on here? Why were they the only ones who had to pay for more tickets?
