Twisting Facts

The middle-aged man held the invitation card and handed it back to Lucas with both hands, bowing and apologizing at the same time. "My apologies, Mr. Gray, this invitation card is authentic. I'm sorry for unintentionally offending you just now! I didn't mean to. Please forgive me."

Then he straightened up his body and shot Bryce an extremely cold gaze.

It was all Bryce's fault for spurring him to ask Lucas to produce the invitation card for inspection. He was just a steward of the Hales, and if he were to offend an honored guest, he would be in trouble!

With his mouth wide open in disbelief, Bryce took two steps back while muttering incessantly, "How can it be authentic? How can he really have an invitation from the Hales… No, this is impossible! He must have stolen it from someone…"

Smack!

Bryce was given a hard and tight slap on his face, disrupting his incoherent muttering!
