Chapter 70
Jessica arrived at the entrance, where only one security guard was on duty.
“Hey, you! Are you even doing your job properly? How could you let someone without clearance enter this place? It’s meant for elite people. Do you want to get sacked?”
The guard was surprised by her outburst. “I properly check everyone before they enter. Who dared to sneak in?!”
At that moment, Ms. Leah arrived with Julia and Marcus walking slowly behind her.
Jessica immediately pointed at Marcus. “That man! He doesn’t have clearance. You can ask him yourself.”

As soon as the guard’s eyes fell on Marcus, he instantly recognized him the VIP and the man who had just gotten him promoted.
He wanted to bow and address him as “Sir” right away, but Marcus winked at him. The guard understood that Marcus didn’t want his identity revealed, so he had to handle the situation carefully without exposing him.
“You mean this man?” he asked.
“Yes!” Ms. leah snapped. “He was clearly told he couldn’t enter earlier, yet he sneaked in anyway.”
The guard, whose name was Timothy, replied calmly, “Well, he didn’t sneak in. I let him pass as a plus- one to this young miss.” He pointed at Julia.
Then he continued, “Actually, you are the one who is supposed to not be here. You sneaked your way in!” He pointed directly at Ms. Leah.
Ms. Leah was shocked. “Me? What are you saying? I entered with my daughter!”
The guard shook his head firmly. “Before you entered, the young miss said she came here with her fiancé, who was her partner. But you entered with her instead, so you should not be here.”
Ms. Leah scoffed loudly. “You are a clown!” Then she looked around frantically, searching for Gerald.
“Where is your boss? The second one, he is the boss and he is the one who can deal with this properly!”
“Well, Gerald has been sacked,” Timothy replied calmly.
“What!” Ms. Leah was utterly shocked. “He was here right now. What do you mean sacked?!”
Timothy walked forward and explained, “He was sacked because of you. He made the wrong judgment and ignored the rules and ethics. The event manager heard about this and sacked him immediately. While I am being promoted. I let Mr. Marcus enter because he had the right to.”
Ms. Leah was shocked and turned to face Marcus with wide eyes. “So you went all the way to report him?”

Timothy chimed in quickly, “Well, I was the one who reported him.”

Jessica was shocked and embarrassed by the sudden twist of events. “But he didn’t have any pass….”.
The guard cut her off sharply “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear when I said-He came with this pass. If you intervene again, I will have to send you out also!”
Jessica was stunned and could only keep her mouth shut, her face burning with humiliation.
Then Timothy turned back to Ms. Leah. “Well ma, you should leave now.”
Ms. Leah scoffed again. “You are joking. I will never leave! I am sure you are lying. How could he be sacked just like that?”
Jessica also added fuel to the fire, “Yes, I smell some foul play. Gerald must be on another duty, and Marcus must have paid some peasant to enter.”
At that moment, the event manager, who was passing through the area, witnessed the commotion and walked over with a stern expression. “What the heck is happening here again?”
Timothy immediately narrated the entire story to him. The event manager quickly understood that Marcus was hiding his true identity and decided to play along. He turned to face Ms. Leah with clear
irritation.
“So you are the rat that sneaked in. Well, leave now before I order them to bundle you away.”
Jessica wanted to jump in but the event manager pointed at her first. “And who are you? Do you want to follow her?”
She kept shut immediately, fear flashing across her face.
“Hey woman, leave now!” the event manager barked.
Ms. Leah turned desperately to Julia. “Hey, tell them that I am the second person – your partner! You
won’t let them embarrass me because of this lowlife man.”
Julia sighed deeply, clearly tired of the drama. “You called this upon yourself, Mom. You shouldn’t have come here to report him.”
“What? Me? Your mom?” Ms. Leah exclaimed in disbelief.
The event manager, having had enough, called the guards over. They swiftly bundled Ms. Leah away as she screamed and struggled, creating a loud scene that drew attention from nearby guests. Her voice echoed down the hallway as they escorted her out of the premises.
Once the chaos died down, the event manager turned to Julia and Marcus with a respectful nod. “Sorry for the disturbance. For that, I will give you the finest wine and you shall dine in the VIP seats!”
