“How does Connor know the manager here?”

Mina muttered, puzzled.

“Mr. McDonald, I’m sorry. The restaurant is really full today. If 1 knew you were coming today, 1 would have prepared a private room!”

Hearing what Connor said, Andrew Sullivan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Andrew was the boss of Thomas Morgan’s New Century Restaurant, and Connor was Thomas Morgan’s boss. Andrew definitely knew where he was in the food chain.

Therefore, when he was dealing Connor, he didn’t dare to be negligent even for a bit.

“It’s okay. I’ll eat somewhere else!”

Connor waved his hand and said. After saying that, he turned to glance at Chloe and then walked away.

“Mr. McDonald, since you’re here, how can 1 just let you walk away like that?”

Andrew quickly stopped Connor and said nervously, “Mr. McDonald, please wait for a moment. I’ll arrange a private room for you right now!”

Connor was embarrassed to leave when Andrew was treating him so warmly. He could only stay and watch.

The customers waiting in line in New Century Restaurant were all looking at Connor in shock.

New Century Restaurant was one of the best high-end restaurants in Porthampton. Those who could afford to eat here were mostly the wealthy of Porthampton.

As New Century Restaurant’s manager, Andrew’s status naturally rose.

However, at this moment, he took the initiative to arrange a private room for Connor. How important was Connor?

Hector’s face was also filled with shock when he looked at Connor.

Andrew briefly communicated with the reception desk, then turned around and ran to Connor’s side. He smiled and said to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, we have arranged a VIP room. Please follow me!”

“Okay!”

Connor nodded slightly, then walked to the VIP room.

Meanwhile, Chloe followed behind Connor with excitement. She felt that she was honored to be able to have dinner with a super-rich kid like Connor. That elevated her status too.

However, when Connor and Chloe passed by Hector, Hector suddenly said, “Connor, 1 think you are not only a sugar baby to a wealthy woman, but also to the owner of this restaurant, right?”

When the customers in the restaurant heard Hector, they were all stunned. As they knew Connor’s identity, no one dared to laugh.

Connor turned and glanced at Hector, then said indifferently, “Get this person out of here!”

“Yes, Mr. McDonald!”

Andrew nodded.

Meanwhile, Connor led Chloe into the private room.

After seeing Connor leave, Andrew shouted to the security guards at the door, “What are you waiting for? Get this guy out of here!”

After the security guards heard what their manager said, they ran toward Hector.

“What… What do you want? I’m a member of your restaurant. Is this how you treat members?”

Hector shouted nervously when he saw a few fierce security guards surrounding him.

“You’re a member of our restaurant? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

Andrew looked at Hector and a hint of suspicion flashed across his face.

New Century Restaurant was very strict with giving out memberships. Every member had to go through a rigorous screening process. Andrew knew more or less each member. That way, he knew how to treat each member accordingly.

“This is my membership card!”

In desperation, Hector took out the membership card that he borrowed, wanting to prove his identity.

But he had no idea how stupid that action was.

“May 1 look at your membership card?”

Andrew asked Hector.

“Of course!”

Hector handed the membership card to Andrew.

Andrew took the membership card and handed it to the receptionist. He said softly, “Please verify this membership card!”

“Okay!”

The receptionist nodded and inserted the membership card into the computer reader.

Hector’s facial expression changed when he heard Andrew’s order. He had borrowed the membership card, so it was not his.

“Mina, let’s go!”

Hector was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he tugged at Mina and wanted to leave the restaurant.

“Okay!”

Mina hurriedly nodded and wanted to leave with Hector.

But at this moment, Andrew suddenly reached out to stop Hector, then said gloomily, “You can’t leave now!”

“Why… Why not?”

Hector stammered.

“Because your identity hasn’t been confirmed yet!”

Andrew replied calmly.

“Mr. Sullivan, this membership card belongs to Mr. Campbell of Dynamics Group!” the receptionist’s voice echoed throughout the restaurant.

Hearing that, Andrew smiled and said expressionlessly, “1 have met Mr. Campbell of Dynamics Group. You are not Mr. Campbell, are you?”

Hector looked at Andrew in a daze. He opened his mouth but no words came.

Mina looked at Hector in confusion. She couldn’t understand why Hector would use someone else’s membership card since he was rich?

“Hector, what’s going on?”

Mina hesitated and asked Hector softly.

“Mina, 1 borrowed this membership card!”

Hector knew that he could no longer hide it, so he could only confess to Mina.

“You borrowed this card?”

Mina was instantly speechless when she heard this.

“Since you have admitted it, we can deal with this easily now!”

Andrew announced.

“Deal with this easily? What do you mean by that?” Hector asked Andrew, puzzled.

“Our restaurant has a clear rule. You will be fined if you stole or borrowed someone else’s membership card to enter the restaurant!” Andrew said expressionlessly.

“Fined?”

Hector looked at Andrew incredulously.

“Yes, a fine of 50,000 dollars!”

Andrew replied.

When Hector heard that, he immediately frowned. Even the usually calm Hector couldn’t remain calm at this moment.

This was because he couldn’t even take out 500 dollars, but now he had to pay a fine of 50,000 dollars!

This was a death sentence to him!

To create the image of a super-rich kid in Mina’s eyes, Hector had to go through a lot of trouble to borrow a New Century Restaurant membership card from a friend.

He initially thought that by taking out the membership card just now, he would be able to make things easier for himself.

But what Hector did not expect was that the membership card was linked to its owner’s name.

What made him even more devastated was that New Century Restaurant had an explicit rule that was a 50,000 dollar fine on any misappropriation or borrowing of another person’s membership card.

To pursue Mina these past few days, Hector had been taking her around and touring all the famous scenic spots in Porthampton. Although the expenditure wasn’t much, it still cost 10,000 to 20,000 dollars a day.

To built his identity as a super-rich kid, he had specially rented a BMW car and an expensive suit.

Hector borrowed most of his money from his friends, so he was already heavily in debt.. Therefore, he could not afford the 50,000 dollars!
