Chapter 84
The weather was unbearably hot in the summer. It was a Tuesday and the fifth anniversary research institute. As its leading member, Bonnie was obliged to buy everyone a meal.

A staff member at the research institute texted her. “We’ll be waiting for you at the Jade Horizon Hotel. Looking forward to meeting you there.”
“Sure.”
Bonnie hailed a cab and hit the road at ten o’clock. It took her only half an hour to get to the hotel.
She had just gotten out of the cab when she heard a familiar voice.
“Wow! This place really is the biggest hotel in Pyralis! I heard that it’s bigger than thirty–two thousand square feet. It’s huge! This is my first time here. I should thank you for this, Hadwin. There’s no way I could come to this place if it wasn’t for you. Thank you so much!”
It was Trina, Bonnie’s hypocritical sister.
Pride swelled in Hadwin’s chest when he heard what Trina said. “We’re getting engaged soon. That makes us practically family. There’s no need to thank me. But it is true that not everyone can step foot into the Jade Horizon Hotel.
“They only serve high society. You need to be a member to even enter, and you need to have a
minimum of one million dollars on their member card.”
At that moment, Trina and Hadwin saw Bonnie at the hotel entrance.
“Is that Bonnie? Is she going in? That won’t do. I need to stop her, or she’ll embarrass herself.” Trina made it sound like she had her sister’s best interests at heart and ran over to stop Bonnie.
“You can’t go in there, Bonnie.”
“Oh? Why not?” She asked nonchalantly.
“What a hick!‘ Trina thought to herself.
“This is the Jade Horizon Hotel! It’s the biggest hotel in Pyralis. You have to pay a million dollars just to get their member card, and you have to be a member of high society.
“How will you get that kind of money? You would have just charged in if I hadn’t stopped you. The security guards at the entrance would have kicked you out!” Trina raised her voice on purpose so people around them would see how big of a joke Bonnie was.
Hadwin came over and gave her a silver card. “Since you’re Trina’s sister, I’ll take you inside. But you’ll have to behave. Don’t wander off and embarrass me. My mom and dad are coming later. They might say something to you because of what you did.
“They’re older than us and deserve our respect. You’ll be eating here for free, too. So you should know your place and keep your head down. If you can guarantee that, I’ll take you in and let you spend some

time here.”
The people who were around them looked at Hadwin’s silver card enviously.

“That’s a silver card! It’s not just an ordinary member card. I think you need to put a million dollars on that card to get it.
“I heard about that card too. To be honest, I can afford it, but there was no way I was going to spend that kind of money getting that card just to be able to eat here.”
“That’s right. We’re all businessmen. We would have invested our money into work projects. Who would spend that kind of money on a member card? They must be so rich that they have nothing else
to buy anymore.
Hadwin was very pleased to hear what those onlookers said. Trina was also thrilled because she had snatched Hadwin from her sister. She was just that good.
Hadwin looked at Bonnie contemptuously and said, “What are you waiting for? There’s no need to feel sorry for going to have a meal at this very hotel. We’re here today because we want to see them. We just might run into the science prodigy herself if we’re lucky.”
yourself. Here’s a secret. Ms. Bonita’s research team for? There’s no need to
Trina was getting excited at the mention of Ms. Bonita. She reminded herself that she had to show all her skills to Ms. Bonita if she really managed to run into her.
As she was thinking, Bonnie stubbornly walked toward the hotel entrance.
What a moron!
They had just told her that not everyone could go in, but she didn’t seem to believe them. Just wait and see. The security guards were going to kick her out.
