Qemal looked beyond proud to own such an exclusive invitation. He shoved away the soldier who stood in front of him and shot him a murderous glare. "Take a good look at this. This is a special 'VIP' invitation, reserved only for the most powerful! How dare you stand in my way? You'd better be on your best behavior, or else!"
The soldiers all balked and allowed Qemal to pass when they saw his special "VIP" invitation.
However, Liam suddenly froze in his steps and turned to stare at the arrogant Stones who followed in his wake. "Didn't they say the invitations are fake? Didn't they accuse me of producing fake invitations in an attempt to sneak into the event? Well, since it's my doing, these invitations have nothing to do with you, right? Sergeant, confiscate their invitations! Without invitations, they won't be able to get inside!"
With that, Liam took Celena's hand and strode into the hall with Jovie in his arms.
"Dad, what shameless people they are! I'm so embarrassed," Jovie said, glancing at the Stones who got stopped at the door.
The soldiers all stopped the Stones before they could enter, leaving them staring in shock at Liam, Celena, and Jovie's retreating figures.
The sergeant barked, "Men, take their invitations away and kick them out of here!"
The soldiers snatched the Stones' invitations away, and the moment they did so, Sherah shrieked, "How dare you do this to us! Take a good look at this! This is the special 'VIP' invitation issued by the mayor himself! By taking these away from us, you're disobeying the mayor's orders!"
With that, Sherah pried herself free of the soldier who was holding her back, adjusted her hair, and then sauntered into the hall tall and proud!
