Chapter 284
Men
Alice held the membership black card in hand and was taken aback by its high membership level.
She really didn’t expect Amber to help her to such an extent.
She felt flattered.
Not only was Alice shocked, but Max and Chloe were also taken aback.
Max felt a bit overwhelmed.“Mrs. Wilson, what are you doing?”
“Do I need to explain my actions to you? Why can’t you have manners like your sister?”
Amber had just heard how Max had rudely mocked Alice.
Max’s eyes
reddened from Amber’s reprimand, but she didn’t dare to retort. She couldn’t afford to leave a bad impression on Amber and risk being a drag on Julia.
Chloe explained, “Mrs. Wilson, you misunderstood Max. She was just kindly reminding Alice so she wouldn’t be embarrassed after being blocked for not knowing the rules here.”
Max gave Chloe a grateful look, appreciating that this country bumpkin could speak up for her.
“Hopefully that’s the case.”
When Amber glanced at Chloe, she recalled that her father had also passed away in that car accident years ago. Her heart softened, so she didn’t press further.
“Alice, let’s
go
in together. Don’t take Max’s words to heart. She just speaks her mind.” Chloe sighed in relief when Amber let it pass.
Alice’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Speaking one’s mind and verbally abusing someone maliciously aren’t the same thing.”
This hypocrite would say anything to please Max.
Amber then looked at Alice.“Ms. Welch, come in with me.”
Alice didn’t refuse and followed Amber into the club.
Max, feeling very resentful, spoke up, “When did Alice get so close to Mrs. Wilson?”
“I’m not sure. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Yates attended the charity event the other day. Alice kept following Mrs. Wilson around that day. Alice is good at softening people up.”
Chloe was very jealous.
Madyson despised her despite her attempts to win Madyson over.
But Alice was a breeze to win Amber over.
Max’s tone was extremely venomous as she said, “That lowly hick disparages our business sch yet she’s trying so hard to elevate herself.”
“Max, let’s hurry in. We can’t let Alice badmouth you in front of Mrs. Wilson, making her think even less of you.”

“How dare she!”
Max became enraged and stormed in.
Chloe’s lips curled coldly. Since the idiot Max was being used as cannon fodder, she didn’t have to deal with Alice herself.
After Alice followed Amber in, she handed the card to Amber and said, “Mrs. Wilson, thank for your help.”
“No problem. Just keep the card.”
“But I can’t accept a gift for no reason.”
you
Alice was really surprised that Amber was so nice to her, but she couldn’t take the card readily.
Amber spoke, “Then I’ll take you to get a new membership card, so you can come anytime in the future.”
“It’s not necessary. I was invited to attend a charity event planning meeting this time. I don’t come here often.”
“The charity event held by the Garcia family?”
Amber knew about this charity event.
She frowned, thinking, “Julia is aware that Alice has never been here before and that this location is exclusive to members. Why didn’t Julia arrange things properly?”
Alice nodded.
“Still, get a membership card. It’ll be convenient for you.”
Amber could tell Alice was a decisive girl, so she didn’t force Alice to use her card.
Alice had no chance to refuse as Amber led her to get a new card.
Julia soon walked over. She almost lost her demeanor when she saw Amber and Alice together.
She thought, “How did Alice get to know Mrs. Wilson?
“Has Jack taken Alice to meet his family? Judging by Mrs. Wilson’s attitude, she seems to have accepted Alice.”
Julia was almost devastated by this thought.
After all, she had been interacting with Amber for years in the hope of marrying into the Wilson family one day. She wondered if this meant her hope was shattered.
Julia steadied herself, adjusted her expression, and walked over.“Mrs. Wilson, Alice, what a doing here?”
Alice turned and saw Julia, who was wearing a designer dress and had an elegant and dignified smile, looking every bit the high–society lady.
Before Alice could speak, Amber said, “I’m taking her here to get a membership card.”

“Sorry, I’ve been so busy lately. I forgot Ms. Welch can’t get in without a membership for the first
time here.”
Julia’s tone was apologetic. She quickly told the manager, “Get Ms. Welch a visitor card under name.”
Alice frowned and refused.“No, thanks.”
my
She didn’t want to have anything to do with the Garcia family, let alone use a card under Julia’s
name.
Julia smiled and said, “It’s no problem, Ms. Welch. Future gatherings between us will p with the
card.”
“Julia, it’s not necessary to make things so complicated. Just get a membership card for Alice. It’s much more convenient than the visitor card.”
Julia’s expression suddenly dimmed. She had suggested a temporary visitor card for Alice to prevent Amber from getting her a membership card.
She didn’t expect Amber to be so nice to Alice.
Amber looked at the manager.“Get her a card.”
The manager nodded and then turned to Alice.“Do you have your ID with you?”
Alice shook her head.“No.”
Julia breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the manager, and said, “Getting a membership seems to require asset verification. What’s the minimum amount of funds needed?”
“A minimum of 1.7 million dollars.”
Alice remained calm after hearing this.1.7 million dollars was a lot of money, indicating this club was indeed for the wealthy.
Then Julia looked at her and said, “Alice, when you bring your ID next time, I can lend you the money for asset verification.”
Alice sensed that Julia was a bit hostile towards her, but she was not sure, thinking that she was likely overthinking it.
She refused, “No need. I have 1.7 million dollars.”
Julia looked surprised.“It seems your family gives you a lot of pocket money.”
The sum of 1.7 million dollars in cash was substantial considering the wealth of the Welch family.
Max’s monthly allowance wasn’t even close to 1.7 million dollars.
“Julia, where would she get that much money? She must have sold off her parents‘ inherit
Max stormed over angrily, not wanting to see Alice happy.
Alice’s expression turned cold when Max mentioned her parents‘ inheritance.
She looked up.“Max, does your family live by the sea?”

“No, I live in the villa area on Central Avenue.”
Max’s tone was laced with showing off.
But Julia understood her implication and stopped Max.“What nonsense are you spouting? Can you behave yourself?”
Merar
Max was unhappy but didn’t dare to contradict Julia, glaring at Alice instead, who was an eyesore to her.
Amber was displeased with Max, saying, “Julia, you need to discipline your sister. She’s so ill–bred. She shouldn’t interfere with other people’s money, right?”
“Mrs. Wilson, you’re right. I’ll discipline Max properly.”
Julia was fuming inside. Having such a useless sister was exhausting.
It was evident to Alice that Max and Julia were completely different. Julia was truly a socialite.
“Alice, I can cover for you if your money hasn’t arrived yet,” Amber said.
“No, thanks. I have it.”
Alice took out her bank card.
Chloe couldn’t help but speak up,“Alice, as far as I know, you inherited immovable property. Where did you get so much money from?”
Alice gave her a cold look.“Shut up.”
“Alice, don’t be mad. I’m just worried you might go astray. After all, the charity event has just raised over 1.7 million dollars.”
