The security guard's expression turned to shock when he saw the gold invitation card. He gasped. "The gold invitation card? M-May I know who you are?"
"Mr. Weiss delivered the gold invitation card to me. Do you need to check it?" Lily questioned calmly.
"I-It's fine. Please enter. Once your friends are done talking, I'll guide them to you." The security guard accorded Lily the greatest respect.
Nodding at him, Lily then turned her gaze to Yolanda. She said to the guard, "May I request for this lady and her group to stay out of the auction this time?"
"Um…" The security guard appeared flustered.
Lily added, "It's fine. I won't put you in a difficult spot. I'll speak to Mr. Weiss—"
The security guard quickly interjected, "Oh, it's no problem at all. I'll get them out of the hall right now."
Right after that, the guard gathered his colleagues and went up to Yolanda. "I'm sorry, miss. You're prohibited from entering the hall. We shall rescind your invitation to the auction."
"What? Do you know who we are? How dare you kick us out?" shrieked Yolanda.
At the same time, Nora's and Joanne's mouths fell to the floor. They could not believe that they were stopped by security at the auction entrance and threatened to be kicked out, especially when they were from the Albott family.
What a joke!
"My apologies, but I'm just carrying out orders. Please leave, or we might need to chase you out," the guard warned them coldly.
Nora bellowed, "How dare you? Open your eyes wide and look carefully! We're from the Albott family. How dare you throw us out? Does Mr. Weiss know about this?"
