Chapter 291: Who Dares to Let You in?
When the greeters at the door saw them, they were all on guard. They kept staring at them without blinking to see what exactly they wanted to do.
Julia didn't give a damn and pulled Claire inside.
"Hold on."
One of the greeters reached out to stop them, asking, "Are you Claire?"
Claire was famous in the world of jewelry and jade, so she didn't think she could hide her identity.
"Yes, I am," Claire admitted.
The greeter's expression instantly darkened and he said, "I'm sorry. We don't welcome you here. Please go somewhere else."
"Not welcome?"
Julia was instantly exasperated and sneered, "It's the first time that I have ever seen anyone drive the guests out. What? Don't you want to do business?"
That greeter's facial muscles froze for a moment and then he said with a tough attitude, "It's not that we don't want to do business, but we don't want to do your business!"
Frederick walked unhurriedly all the way. He was very calin, unlike Julia, who was so excited that she couldn't wait to fly to Felix Glory Corp. immediately, so he was left far behind.
As he arrived at the Felix Glory Corp., he saw Claire and Julia blocked in the doorway. Furrowing his brows, he stepped forward faster.
"We're here for the jewelry auction. I don't think we're the only competitors here today. There are guests from other companies, right?"
Being retorted, the greeter blushed out of shame. Meanwhile. Those guests who came up and were ready to go in also stopped and gathered around them to watch the fun.
The greeter was in a panic, exchanging a glance with his partner. Soon, his partner hurriedly ran inside before he opened his mouth again, "We naturally welcome everyone to participate in the jewelry auction, except the Vanderbilt family people, especially Mr. Frederick and Mr. Scan, who are on the Felix family's blacklist. I'm sorry"
"Oh?" Some guest keenly smelled the flavor of gossip and asked with interest, "Why are Mr. Frederick and Mr. Sean on the Felix family's blacklist? I haven't heard before that the Vanderbilt family and the Felix family have any enmity or grudge?"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of that either. Is it possible that CoCo stole the limelight from the Felix family's designers at the Charm Designers' Competition? Are they jealous of her?"
"If that's the case, the Felix family is a bit too petty. Since they aren't as skilled as others, they try to blacklist them. It's really shameful!"
Claire just smiled and didn't say anything, watching the Felix family embarrassing greeter.
The greeter was dumbfounded by the remarks. He was well aware that most of the guests were wealthy and powerful people in Ascalon and they were most interested in the gossip between the noble families. If he exposed more, they were more likely to guess and gossip. So there was no way he could tell the hatred between the Felix family and the Vanderbilt family.
While he was at a loss for words, Sasha came out from inside. At a glance, she caught sight of Claire standing in the middle of the crowd. Curling up her lips in triumph, she walked to Claire and stood in front of her in a victor's stance.
"Claire, are you idle? Why are you coming to my place? Did the business in Sinclaire Jewelry fail so that you have to come here to get money?" said Sasha.
Claire showed a faint smile and said, "I just heard that the Felix family is organizing a jewelry auction. I thought I could come over to make some extra money. After all, one piece of pink crystal is enough to buy two nice houses in Ascalon at full price."
"Pfft..." someone laughed all of a sudden, followed by bursts of laughter from other guests.
The fact that Claire picked up a piece of pink crystal at the Felix Glory Corp. had long been known in Ascalon. Now Claire mentioned it, which was a great humiliation to Sasha!
It amused the audience!
Sasha's expression changed several times and she almost couldn't hold on.
"Claire, you were just lucky last time. It wasn't the fault of the Felix family's appraiser. You won't be so lucky in the future! Let's wait and see!"
"Oh really?" Claire arched her brow, smiled slyly and said, "Then let's try it today, and sce
if it's your family's appraiser's incapability or my good luck that works."
Then, Claire waved her hand at Julia and said, "Let's go inside."
"Who agreed to let you in?"
Sasha stopped in front of them, squaring off as the heir to the Felix family, and stated, "Without my consent, who dares to let you in?"
Claire sneered out, clasped her hands on her chest, and raised her chin slightly, saying provocatively, "Sasha, everyone is curious why the Felix Glory Corp. Doesn't let the people from the Vanderbilt family in. And I'm also curious about it. Why could all the other competitors get in, except the Vanderbilt family?"
With that, Claire turned back to Frederick and asked, "Frederick, do you know why?"
Frederick raised the comer of his lips. He had known Claire's cleverness long ago. Since she asked him, she was looking forward to his cooperation.
So easy.
Moreover, people in Ascalon had been speculating about the relationship between him and Claire. It was the right time to take this opportunity to clarify it.
"Claire, it should trace back to over twenty years ago when Winona and I got married and she ran away."
Sasha's expression darkened immediately, and it was only then that she reacted to the fact that she had fallen into Claire's trap.
She hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but Frederick, who had always uttered unhurriedly, spoke faster at this time.
"Winona ran away from the marriage because of Joseph. The two of them had long been in love and privately engaged, so how could Winona marry me?"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"What!?"
The crowd of onlookers were dumbfounded and looked at Claire incredulously.
"Isn't Winona Claire's mother?"
"Yeah! If Winona ran away from the marriage for Joseph, then... Claire is probably...
"Claire is Joseph's biological daughter, right!?"
"Yes, yes! That's it! No wonder I saw Joseph follow the first graders out of school when I went to pick up my son from school every day. Now, I can recall that the kids that Joseph was holding were Claire's kids."
"Jesus Christ! The truth turns out to be like this!"
"This is too funny and shocking!"
"Then Claire is Joseph's daughter while Sasha is just an adopted daughter. How could she not let Claire into the Felix family's store?"
"Exactly! How could she stop Claire from entering her own family's shop? Is she afraid that Claire will steal the family fortune from her?"
"Bullshit! Claire is Joseph's only daughter, so the Felix family should be Claire's. Why should Sasha rob it?"
Hearing their comments, Sasha was totally pissed off and pulled a long face. She didn't imagine Claire to bring this matter out in such an imposing manner.
