Porter sighed in relief when Omega chose not to join their evening plans. The trio dined at a distinctive barbecue spot before heading to the elite Ripple Pavilion club. Joanna secured a VIP room upon discovering her husband Ashton's stake as an investor, gleefully instructing Kelvin and Porter to splurge freely amid their teasing banter about her vast wealth.

In total, Ripple Pavilion was owned by three individuals.

The Parker family's young master, the Luther family's young master, and Ashton Heath, the present President of the Heath Group.

These three once enjoyed the closest bonds.

As a result, they pooled investments to launch numerous stores side by side.

Ripple Pavilion counted as one such venture.

Their enterprises stretched across the whole country.

Yet, this marked the very first occasion the receptionists laid eyes on any of the trio bosses.

Despite their joint investment in this outlet, none of the owners had ever set foot here before.

Compared to their colossal operations generating hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions in revenue, such a minor shop seemed utterly insignificant.

Thus, their lack of visits was completely understandable.

Frank Parker's sudden arrival thus shocked the receptionists.

Frozen in stunned silence for moments, the receptionists abruptly recalled a key detail, their expressions shifting sharply as they rushed to dial a call.

Luxe Lounge's General Manager followed Frank Parker with utmost caution, his tension so intense he scarcely dared to breathe.

He couldn't grasp what odd whim had drawn the lofty Frank Parker to this spot today.

This was, after all, Frank Parker's inaugural visit here.

Plus, he arrived entirely unannounced.

This unexpected drop-in left Luxe Lounge's General Manager deeply uneasy, dreading an inspection and scolding from the powerful figure.

Otherwise.

He hadn't appeared in years.

Why pop up all of a sudden now?

Such thoughts caused cold sweat to trickle down Luxe Lounge's General Manager's tense and worried forehead, though he didn't dare wipe it.

Frank Parker's blank, distant face and the chilling "stranger-back-off" vibe pouring from him made the elevator air feel denser by the second, suffocation closing in on him.

One minute passed, and the elevator halted.

Doors parted, and Frank Parker marched out.

Beside Luxe Lounge's General Manager, the Lobby Manager lifted his gaze from his phone, face etched with unease. After a brief pause, he leaned close and murmured swiftly to the General Manager right before stepping out, "Mr. Canton, there's something crucial you need to know. Reception just messaged me. The Supreme VIP private room has been reserved."

"What did you say!" Mr. Canton's features twisted sharply, his tone bursting free uncontrollably.

Outside the elevator.

Frank Parker stopped in his tracks, pivoting back with a frown.

That scowl alone sent fresh sweat beading on both the Lobby Manager's and Mr. Canton's foreheads.

Mr. Canton suffered worst, his face not just slick with sweat but turning noticeably pale from fright.

The Supreme VIP private room was reserved solely for a select few shareholders.

Through all these years of idleness, nobody had ever braved booking it.

And now...

Someone possessed the nerve to flout Luxe Lounge rules by snatching that room.

If Frank Parker discovered this...

"What’s all the fuss about?" Frank Parker uttered at last, his voice thick with clear irritation.

Mr. Canton's perspiration intensified.

He lacked the guts to confess the facts.

As he mulled fabricating an excuse to hide it and void the booking afterward, the Lobby Manager, gripped by fear and worry, blurted out, "Mr. Parker, the Supreme VIP room has been vacant these years. The receptionists didn’t know that you were coming today, so they have booked the room."
