The door to the private room was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
Most people present jumped in surprise.
Yolanda turned her head slightly, glancing toward the door.
A group of tall men dressed in black stormed in. They resembled bodyguards.
Leading them was a young man with dyed yellow hair, Alan Glisson. He was smoking a cigarette and looked visibly impatient.
Without acknowledging the people present, he shouted, "This private room is ours now. You have one minute to pack up and get out."
Joe's face darkened immediately, and he responded curtly, "This private room was reserved by us. We still have time left."
Alan scoffed. "The president of Miller Group wants this private room. Are you refusing?"
The crowd in the banquet hall was momentarily stunned.
They recognized the Miller Group. These people were under Daniel's command.
Joe's anger quickly dissipated, and he forced a smile. "Well, it seems we've finished our meal anyway. We shouldn't occupy the space any longer."
He knew well enough about Daniel's influence. People of his status couldn't afford to offend Miller Group.
Immediately, Joe changed his earlier assertive demeanor and awkwardly spoke to the other relatives present, "Since Mr. Miller and our factory have a partnership, it's only right to give him this courtesy."
While trying to save face, Joe provided an excuse to make his retreat appear reasonable and less embarrassing.
