Jasper didn't come back to his senses until he felt a sharp pain on his arm. He looked down at Brielle, who was pinching his arm hard. He impatiently shook her arm off of him before he walked toward Ariana.

Brielle swiftly followed him closely and grabbed his hand out of fear that he'd leave her alone.

On the other hand, Ariana's mood soured once she caught a glimpse of the duo headed toward her. She was in no mood to meet them at all.

“How did you manage to get into such a high-end place and wear such a sexy dress? Don't tell me you're some old man's Lover trying to get resources on Sarah's behalf?" Gazing at Ariana's designer dress, Brielle turned green with envy.

This was not at all what Brielle had imagined. In fact, she thought that Ariana's life would spiral into one filled with misery after marrying a disabled man. She thought that she'd be mistreated by the abnormal, tyrannical Theodore. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Ariana lived a luxurious life in the upper class which allowed her to enter such an exclusive area draped in an expensive, exquisite dress.

Irritated by Brielle's use of the word "lover", Jasper frowned and scolded Ariana harshly, “Now that you've married into the Anderson family, you need to pay attention to your morals and manners. This is no place for you. Leave. Now."

Ariana mentally rolled her eyes, not wanting to waste her time talking nonsense with these two fools. She continued walking without looking back.

However, Jasper rushed up to grab Ariana by the hand and warned her in a low voice, "Don't overestimate yourself. Not everyone is allowed in there."

Ariana shook off Jasper's hand in disgust and_ replied sarcastically, "Is that so? Well, what if I have to go there?"

Ariana was assured that the waiter would escort her into the innermost room, so she ignored Jasper's condescending comment and went straight ahead.

He didn't stop her and just stood behind her sneering, waiting for her to be turned away at the door and embarrassed.

But when Ariana stepped into the so-called top VIP area, the waiters not only didn't stop her but even opened the door wide open and respectfully greeted her, "Ms. Edwards, this way please."

This infuriated Jasper who ended up scolding the waiter beside him, “Are you blind? Didn't you say only the top VIPs could enter? Then why did you let her in?"

“I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson. This lady is a guest of one of our distinguished VIPs," the waiter answered, not even bothering to look sideways in Jasper's direction.

Just then, Adrian appeared all dressed up in a silver suit.

Although he gave off quite a casual vibe, his sharpness couldn't be overlooked.

“What happened? What's with all the ruckus here?" Adrian asked as he looked at everyone present with a smile.

Jasper was both astonished and overjoyed. He swiftly pushed the waiter away before he walked up to Adrian and said, "Sure enough, you really are here Mr. Perkins. I have some business to go over with you."

Jasper then casually placed his hand on Adrian's shoulder with a sly smile before informing the waiter, “I'm here for Mr. Perkins. I'm his guest."

The waiter was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
