Chapter 66
The second guard chimed in, “Sir… we are clearly being instructed that only couples can enter with one ticket. They are a couple. This is against the ethics p>
Gerald faced the guard. “Ethics? Make another statement and I will show you what real ethics means. I am your senior. I will send a bad evaluation review and have you sacked. Then you will know what real ethics means p>
Ms. Leah was so happy to see someone taking her side. She nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes. He said you should leave. Do that now p>
Marcus scoffed and stood calmly. “I will repeat. I am not leaving! Let me go in now or else you will regret it p>
Gerald scoffed. “Me? I will regret it? You don’t know what you’re saying. What can a poor person like you do to me p>
With that, Ms. Leah said, “I will enter with my daughter as the couple.” She grabbed Julia’s hand and started dragging her inside.
“Mom, what are you doing p>
Ms. Leah used all her strength and pushed Julia inside while Gerald closed the door.
“Well, a pair has entered, so you can’t. Now turn back or I shall break your bones, just as I said p>
Marcus scoffed, then stepped away while Gerald put on a triumphant smile, happy with what he had
done.
Meanwhile, Marcus brought out his phone and called Natalie.
“Hello Natalie, you’re at the Elite Hotel, right?” he asked.
“Yes p>
“I was denied entry…” Marcus told her everything that had happened.
Natalie was furious. “Who the heck is that guard? Our family, the Langstones, are a major sponsor of this event. With over 50% share, we are basically the anchor of this event. I will send the manager to you right now. He will sort things out p>
“Okay, thanks,” Marcus said. He hung up and walked back to the entrance.
Gerald was livid when he saw him returning.
“Wow, you must be begging to be beaten. How dare you come back!” Gerald shouted.
“Well, because… I want you to apologize right now for your misconduct, or else you will regret it p>
“Shut the fuck up! Haha… look at you, acting like you could intimidate me. There is nothing you can do. If

you don’t leave. I will call backup security on you p>
The second guard quietly stated, ‘Boss, this isn’t right p>
Gerald didn’t even answer him. When Marcus refused to leave, he became furious and immediately brought out the walkie-talkie. He was about to speak when a voice chimed in.
“What the heck is happening here p>
He turned around and was shocked to see the event manager storming toward them.
Gerald was shocked to see the event manager storming toward them. His face drained of color as he muttered under his breath, “This troublemaker wants to squeeze himself in even when he didn’t buy a
ticket or qualify for the criteria”
The manager, marched straight up. He faced Marcus immediately, recognition flashing in his eyes- Natalie had briefed him thoroughly who he is. Without hesitation, he bowed deeply. “I’m terribly sorry for the disrespect, sir. This is unacceptable p>
Gerald gulped hard, eyes bulging. “Sir p>
Why is the manager bowing to this… this nobody p>
The manager turned with an angry scowl, his voice booming. “Is that really what happened here? Tell me the full truth. If either of you dares to lie, I will sack the two of you on the spot p>
The second guard stepped forward instantly. “Sir, sir… please, may I speak p>
The manager nodded. “You have something to say p>
Gerald shot him a cold, threatening glare, but the younger guard refused to back down. “Yes, boss. This guest was denied entry despite arriving with Ms. Leah and her daughter”. He told him all what happened without leaving any part.
Marcus nodded calmly. “That’s exactly what happened p>
The manager face twisted in fury. “You will never lie boss i believe you”
“No, no sir! He’s just trying to frame me!” Gerald protested desperately, sweat beading on his forehead.” This man is a fraud, trying to sneak in without proper credentials p>
“Shut up!, Don’t you dare call boss a Fraud” The manager snapped.
“Boss? He’s a poor fellow!. you are mistaken p>
“Shut up, Do you even know who he is? This is Marcus Langstone, the Langstone heir! He is essentially the head of this entire event p>
Gerald froze, stunned. “W-what? Him? Marcus? This is a mistake, sir. Marcus can never be the Langstone heir p>

“Shut up, you retard. I am not mistaken,” The manager cut him off coldly. “Just because he doesn’t go around announcing his status doesn’t make him any less powerful p>
Marcus faced the manager, keeping his voice low to avoid a bigger scene. “I don’t want you to cause a scene here. Just let me enter now. Sack him for his misconduct, and promote the other guard who stood by ethics p>
The manager bowed again. “Done, sir p>
Gerald’s legs nearly gave out. “No, no! Please don’t sack me! I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who you were. If I had known, I would never have done that. Forgive me, please p>
Marcus stared at him sternly. “You went against protocol and basic ethics. It’s only normal you get sacked. And if you go around revealing my identity or spreading rumors, I will make sure you never get another job in this country again p>
Gerald broke down, tears streaming as he begged on his knees. “Please… I don’t have any job aside this p>
I beg you p>
Ignoring the pleas, The manager announced firmly, “Gerald, you are terminated effective immediately. Security, escort him out. As for you,” he said to the second guard, “consider yourself promoted to senior security lead with immediate effect and a raise p>
The promoted guard beamed with joy, nearly hugging Marcus in gratitude before catching himself.” Thank you, sir. Thank you so much p>
Marcus simply nodded, adjusted his collar, and walked into the event hall with his head high, while Gerald was still pleading, and still in shocked that Marcus, who he always believed was a poor fellow
was exact the opposite.
