Chapter: 156
Sonia grimaced upon seeing the familiar address. It was a famous, high-end private club in Eleymond. All of its members were known to be big shots. Even the wealthy people might not be able to enter its doors.
After a lengthy and arduous wait, the time for her appointment finally drew near. Ariana swiftly put on the dress and went straight to the address the mysterious person gave her.
The taxi stopped in front of a low-key yet luxurious building.
As soon as Ariana got out of the taxi, she was shocked by the luxury cars casually displayed in the open parking lot outside.
Each of them was easily worth tens of millions of dollars while the people in attendance were all decked out in the finest apparel. Even if she'd never been here, Ariana already knew what this place was. No wonder Sonia was so surprised last night.
The receptionist at the door noticed Ariana arriving via a taxi before coldly asking, “Invitation or membership card, please? You can't enter if you don't have either one."
“Wait a minute."
Ariana withdrew the invitation from one of her bag's inner pockets. The receptionist's cold attitude drastically shifted as he respectfully led her into the club and said, “Oh, Ms. Edwards. We've been waiting for you for quite some time! Please follow me."
Confused, Ariana followed him in.
Meanwhile, Jasper and Brielle got out of a Bentley outside.
Brielle sported a red halter dress with a white fur coat, her elegant arm draped over Jasper's arm.
Jasper showed his membership card to the receptionist. However, the latter returned it to him after a glance and replied in a lukewarm voice, "You'll need to wait a moment, Mr. Anderson. The staff is in the process of cleaning the room."
The frigid wind continued to blow. Brielle didn't wear any thick clothing and she ended up freezing so much that she stamped her feet to keep warm as her hands began to turn red.
She had always been spoiled, unable to tolerate this type of treatment. She then complained, “How could such a large club have no empty room?"
Putting on his sunglasses, Jasper promptly interrupted Brielle, “Be patient. Just wait." He then whispered in her ear, "We can't afford to offend anyone here. Don't get us into any trouble. I managed to confirm that the vice president of BRD Group, Mr. Perkins, would arrive tonight. That's why I secured a special membership card. I need to see him tonight to establish the cooperation with the BRD Group. So, should anything go wrong, keep your composure."
Brielle pursed her lips and snorted, “Is BRD Group an influential company? He's nothing but the vice president. Does it really need this much effort?"
Jasper was fuming at Brielle's ignorance and he wondered how she mustered up enough courage to say something so audacious.
Although the Anderson Group was somewhat popular in Eleymond, it was nothing compared to the BRD Group which was famous on a global scale.
If he managed to strike a deal and secure the BRD Group's cooperation, then the Anderson Group's status would be automatically raised to a higher level. Besides, he would also win the bet with Theodore.
Jasper had no idea what Brielle, that idiot, was thinking. He took a deep, calming breath and firmly explained the pros and cons to the naive Brielle. She finally agreed to control her temper and avoid causing any further trouble.
