Nora chuckled at Lily's statement. She questioned, "Are you using your membership card for access? Think carefully. An ordinary member is only allowed to dine in the hall on the second floor. Are you sure you want to have dinner alone?"
Then, Nora smirked. "You should come with me. You're representing the Lauriers in public. Don't bring shame to Loid."
Yolanda sneered, "I don't understand why Lo would want to get engaged to a poor country bumpkin like you. What are you good at, and what can you bring to the table for Lo?
"Your presence at the restaurant signifies your social status. Using an ordinary membership card is not only embarrassing, but it'll even drag Lo to your level as well. I haven't seen anyone who behaves like you before."
The contempt and derision in her eyes were obvious.
Lily casually glanced at Yolanda before saying flatly, "How special is your diamond-tier membership, then, if you consider an ordinary membership embarrassing?"
"You—" Yolanda growled out the words, "At least a diamond-tier member can enjoy dinner in a private lounge while you can only have dinner at the hall on the second floor."
At that moment, Loid had wrapped up his call. When he approached Lily, he noticed the scowl on Yolanda's face. Eyes narrowed, he asked Yolanda softly, "What's wrong?"
Nora quickly explained, "Nothing. We walked too fast and left Lily behind. I wanted to let her in with my membership card, but she insisted on using her ordinary membership card. I'm talking some sense into her."
She insinuated about Lily's lack of manners.
"Aunt Nora, since you forgot about Lily, you don't have to get her in. We'll flash our membership cards." Loid lowered his gaze onto Lily's expressionless face. His frigid voice sliced through the air like ice shards.
