Bragging

Soon, Lord Beck replied with a text message: "Mr. Rivera, don't worry, I have a restaurant named Jade Palace, which is a top restaurant with the same reputation as the Selene Hotel. I will help you arrange the best diamond box and the best hotel tomorrow. Waiting for your arrival."

Alston replied with only one word: "Okay."

...

The next day, Flores was at the Styllar Group all day, busy with the collaboration.

Alston called Rita, vice chairman of the Styllar Group, to ask her about Betty's arrival.

Rita was surprised that Alston knew about this. She said that Betty was applying for an executive director, a middle-level management position. Seeing that her resume was not bad, the group decided to admit her, and she had already made an appointment to join in a few days.

So Alston told Rita to observe Betty more after she joined the job, and report any movement to him at all times.

After arranging Rita, Alston went out to take a taxi in the afternoon and went to the airport to pick up Betty.

Arriving at the airport by taxi, Alston was about to go to the arrival hall when a Mercedes Benz suddenly braked and stopped in front of him.

Flores' cousin, Harlan Clark, suddenly got his head out of the car window, frowned at Alston, and asked, "Alston, why are you here?"

"I'll pick someone up, what are you doing here?"

Alston frowned and found that the car was full of acquaintances, apart from Harlan, Felix Carter, and Susie Clark were all here.

Harlan said contemptuously: "You're talking about Betty, right? We will entertain Betty, so we don't need you anymore, get out!"

Alston snorted coldly and said, "If you want to get out, get yourself out of here."

Then Alston ignored them and walked directly into the arrival hall.

Harlan was about to yell angrily when Susie next to him reminded him: "Brother, Betty is coming soon, but the master has reminded you that you must leave a good impression on Betty! If you can turn her into a sister-in-law, you will have a higher position that no one can compare in our family. So don't waste your time on this jerk."

Harlan was suddenly enlightened.

He almost forgot the main purpose of coming to this day.

It was less important to pick Betty up, and the most significant thing was to make a good impression on her and then get her heart.

The Harrod family's strength was extraordinary. If Harlan could manage to marry her, then he would be on the rise, and the Clark family would also be able to rise to the sky.

So, he endured his dissatisfaction with Alston, and people in this car hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to the arrival hall.

At this time, they saw a particularly conspicuous, young, and beautiful woman appearing in the crowd.

She had long hair and was in a black dress, which outlined her exquisite figure.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips were flaming, and beauty could not be concealed at all.

Looking at her carefully, her appearance was not worse than that of Flores.

For a while, the eyes of the people picking up her outside the aisle all focused on her.

Harlan was already dumbfounded.

Even Felix couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the princess of the Harrod family, the temperament is quite different."

At this time, Betty also saw the crowd, hurriedly walked over from the crowd, and waved to them: "Harlan, Susie, and Alston, long time no see!"

Harlan's heart surged with enthusiasm, and he said, "Long time no see, Betty, you've become prettier."

Alston smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Harlan said hurriedly at this time: "Betty, I know you are coming. I specially reserved a box at the best restaurant in Capce. Let's come there now."

Betty glanced at Alston and said apologetically to Harlan: "Harlan, I'm so sorry, I have made an appointment with Flores and Alston in advance, let's eat together another day, anyway, I will be staying in Capce for a long time this time, and there will be much more opportunities in the future."

Hearing this, Harlan couldn't help but get angry. On such an important day, Alston, the jerk, came to make trouble for him. It was abhorrent!

So, he deliberately said: "Betty, to welcome you, I booked the most famous Jade Palace in Capce, and it is a gold box with a minimum consumption of 50,000 dollars!"

As he said that, he looked at Alston with contempt, and said with a smirk, "I don't know where my brother-in-law booked a box. If the grade is too low, wouldn't I be neglecting you!"

Alston was a little surprised to hear that Harlan had booked Jade Palace.

What a coincidence, didn't Kevin say he owned Jade Palace?

He seemed to have prepared a box for himself at Jade Palace, right?

At this time, Felix on the side said in surprise: "You can book the golden box of Jade Palace? This is not something ordinary people can book!"

Harlan smiled proudly: "To be honest, except for the top diamond box in Jade Palace, which I really can't book, the rest are nothing to me."

However, these words were just Harlan's boasting.

To book this golden box, Lyndon Clark came forward in person, paid a lot of money, and entrusted several big men to book it.

Betty had also heard the name of Jade Palace, and hurriedly said: "We are friends, there is no need to be so extravagant."

Harlan said flatly: "You are a distinguished guest; how can you be treated like an ordinary friend?"

After that, he asked Alston again, "Brother, where did you book the box?"

Alston said lightly, "It's a coincidence that I also booked Jade Palace."

"Hahaha!" Harlan laughed wildly: "Alston, why are you not afraid of bragging? With your status, you can't even book the worst bronze box at Jade Palace, and you dare to brag here?"

Alston smiled apathetically and said, "What does it have to do with you if I don't brag? I'm not inviting you to dinner, who do you think you are?"

Harlan said coldly: "Fuck! I guess people like you can't even get in the door of Jade Palace!"

Betty, who was beside him, couldn't bear to see Alston being taunted.

She knew that Alston was a son-in-law to Flores, and he had no money or status in the Clark family. It was not realistic to say that he would arrange her in a top-notch restaurant.

I guess Alston said this on purpose because he wanted to brag.

So she didn't want Alston to be too embarrassed, so she spoke for him: "Oh, there's no need to argue too much about this, since you booked the same place, let's just go together."

Harlan sarcastically said to Alston: "Okay, for Betty's sake, I'll let treat you to a meal today, and let you see what a high-end restaurant looks like!"

Alston snorted and ignored him.

"Kevin would kneel when he saw me. Does Harlan really think the restaurant Kevin owned is important to me?"
