Chapter 407: Showing Off
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas’s words were extrely harsh, and he didn’t save Kenneth any dignity at all.
Lucas had been ignoring Kenneth and turning a deaf ear to his snide remarks. But now, he had completely shed all cordiality and lashed out at Kenneth acrimoniously.
As a wealthy scion in LA, Kenneth was usually showered with praises, and very few people dared to put him to sha like Lucas did.
He imdiately wanted to lose his temper, but when he thought about how Lucas had just crushed the cup into bits, he forced himself to suppress his anger.
Although it was true that so of the elite bodyguards of the Parkers could subdue Lucas, they were now in a private room of a restaurant. And due to there being too many people, he hadn’t brought a single bodyguard along.
If he got into a conflict with Lucas and started fighting him here, he and these wealthy scions who were all usually too lazy to even go to the gym would definitely be the ones to suffer.
Kenneth’s expression changed several tis. But in the end, he could only curb his anger and bear with it. He said coldly, “Fine. You’ve got so guts, punk!” Then he stopped talking.
Everyone else at the dining table was surprised. Having known Kenneth for over a decade, they knew very well that Kenneth would never let himself suffer any losses. Even if he couldn’t imdiately get back at soone who offended him, he would definitely take revenge in the future!
They reckoned that Kenneth had probably lost his confidence because of Lucas’s actions just now.
But it was never too late for revenge, and they were certain that they would teach Lucas a lesson sooner or later!
“Kenneth, have so food. We got carried away with talking and haven’t tried the dishes yet!” Nikki hurriedly urged Kenneth to eat.
The others spoke up one after another. “Let’s drink too. So people may lack manners and etiquette, but we can’t be like him! Co on, Kenneth, I’ll toast you!”
“Okay, now it’s my turn to toast Kenneth! Here’s to living better and better in the future!”
Soon, the atmosphere in the private room beca lively again.
Cheyenne helped herself to the food calmly and took small bites elegantly. But she wasn’t as calm as she seed on the surface.
She knew that after what just happened, it would be impossible for her to discuss cooperating with the various wealthy families in LA.
She had lost her appetite as well. If possible, she would have left imdiately.
The way Lucas behaved when Nikki toasted him and the things he said afterward all showed that it was very likely that the glass of wine Nikki had toasted him with had been drugged.
More than six years ago, soone had once sched against Cheyenne using so sly and underhanded ans to lace her drink with sothing. So she was extrely repulsed and disgusted by such behavior.
Fortunately, Lucas was sitting calmly beside her, giving her a great sense of security.
Although she didn’t know how he had found out that the drink was drugged even though he didn’t drink it, she trusted him and believed that he wouldn’t put her in danger.
In contrast to Cheyenne, who was being extrely conscientious and had lost her appetite, Lucas was almost feasting and chowing down on food continuously. From ti to ti, he would even pick up so food for Cheyenne from the sharing platter.
Since the food was ant for everyone, there naturally wouldn’t be any problems with the food, and he could put his mind at ease while eating.
He had spent the afternoon at the amusent park with Cheyenne and was rather exhausted. Who knew what tricks these silly scions would pull again later, so he had to eat up in order to have enough energy to deal with them.
At this mont, a man said to Nikki, “Miss Heron, you seem to be very familiar with the dishes here. You should be a regular custor here, huh?”
Nikki said with a smug smile, “That’s right. The Lion Restaurant is the best in LA, and I happen to have a mbership card for this place, so I dine here very frequently.”
“Huh? You actually have a mbership card here?”
One of the scions said in surprise, “I heard that the Lion Restaurant is owned by the Bensons from San Francisco, and they have branches in several other major cities too. So it’s not that easy to get a mbership card, as they’re very exclusive. Many of us can’t get one!”
Nikki pulled out a beautiful mbership card from her purse and said with so smugness while pretending to be a little reserved, “The Lion Restaurant is indeed the property of the Bensons from San Francisco. You guys are probably aware of the relationship between the Bensons and the Coles, right?”
“Yes, all major families in LA are aware of it. The Bensons are dependent on the Coles, a top family from San Francisco. Thanks to the Coles’ support, the Bensons have been developing well all these years, but they have to give the Coles a considerable portion of their profits each year in exchange for help!” one of them said, as if they were his family.
“Yes.” Nikki raised her brows and exclaid smugly, “My mbership card was a gift from the Coles to my grandfather!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and envious.
Prior to this, they all thought that Nikki was just a nobody from the Heron family, which was only a little powerful because of the Heron Corp.
But they suddenly learned that the Herons actually had ties with the famous Cole family!
All of a sudden, their gazes were full of fervor as they looked at Nikki.
“What is the relationship between your family and the Coles?” soone asked.
Nikki, whom everyone was looking at enviously, began to feel all conceited and smug. But she suddenly rembered that her grandfather had cautioned her not to casually reveal the relationship between their family and the Coles.
She coughed, pointed at Kenneth, and said smilingly, “Actually, the mbership card I have is only an ordinary silver mbership card. The one Kenneth holds is the impressive one. I heard that it’s a platinum mbership card, which is a mbership level much higher than mine!”
“Wow, Kenneth, it turns out you’re a platinum mber here. How co we’ve never heard you ntion it before?”
“Haha, Kenneth is the successor of the Parkers’ business empire. Isn’t it expected of him to have a platinum mbership card?”
They surrounded Kenneth and started praising him and currying favor with him.
With a proud expression, Kenneth pretended to be nonchalant as he said casually, “This mbership card was given to by Matthew Benson. It’s just a mbership card. No big deal.”
Everyone got into an uproar.
“The helmsman of the Benson family personally gave you a mbership card?! Kenneth, you were so good at keeping it secret!”
“Impressive! As expected of Kenneth, even the Bensons from San Francisco value you greatly!”
Everyone started praising Kenneth one after another, making him feel so complacent and puffed up that he couldn’t help but turn around and look at Cheyenne boastfully, wanting her to see how impressive he was.
But to his surprise, Cheyenne didn’t look at him and was instead helping Lucas to the food!
The sight of it made Kenneth even more furious!
“Cheyenne, I’ve had a little too much to drink and want to go to the restroom. Will you accompany ?” Nikki suddenly said to Cheyenne.
