Chapter 264 Compliment
"So, you better leave now before security has to throw you out. That'd be pretty embarrassing, don't you think?"
Claudia's words made Zara furious. Unlike other women, Claudia's sharpness was hidden behind her polite words, but you could still hear the disdain in her voice.
Claudia's words effectively guided the security guards.
The guards actually started to push Zara and Chloe out.
Zara shielded Chloe as they were forced to step back. Chloe's face turned icy cold.
She knew that saying anything more would be useless. The only thing she could do was call Adelaide to come.
If she were indeed escorted out by security from this exclusive wine club today, then in the days to come, she would forever dwell under the shadow of Claudia's scorn.
Zara couldn't stand seeing Chloe being treated this way. "Claudia, you might be a big deal in this circle, but that doesn't give you the right to look down on us."
"How do you know Aurelia won't give the Davis Family some respect? Could it be that Aurelia is a relative of the Davis Family?"
Zara's words made Claudia laugh out loud.
She stared at Zara and said, "You young people, trying to find Aurelia without even knowing her background."
"Aurelia has been in this circle for years, and we've never heard of her having any relatives. You pretending to be her relatives is just ridiculous."
Seeing Claudia's face, Chloe stopped Zara from saying more.
She lifted her chin and asked Claudia, "What makes you think I'm pretending to be Aurelia's relative?"
"I have an engagement with the Martin Family. Do you think I need to pretend to be Aurelia's relative?"
"Claudia, the true measure of a person's worth is not merely skin-deep, and I harbor no wish to be your adversary. However, should you continue to tread upon me with your contempt, do not feign surprise when I cease to extend you the courtesy you've failed to earn. A single word whispered to Grant, and the potential investment for your upcoming film could vanish like morning mist. "
"And if Aurelia comes out and sees you giving me a hard time, do you think she'll turn against you? Or maybe she'll have you thrown out of here?"
The backing behind Chloe's words made Claudia reconsider. After all, the Davis Family
and the Martin Family were not forces anyone could afford to offend.
As Claudia looked on in surprise, Chloe took out her phone and called Adelaide.
"Auntie, I'm at the address you gave me, but someone won't let me in."
As soon as Chloe finished speaking, Adelaide came out of the club, saying, "Who dares to stop my niece from coming in?"noveldrama
Adelaide arrived at the entrance, followed by some very influential-looking people.
When Claudia saw Chloe calling Adelaide "Auntie," her slight buzz from the alcohol instantly cleared.
Chloe's identity made her wary.
Not only was Chloe a lady of the Davis Family and the future mistress of the Martin Family, but she was also calling Aurelia "Auntie"?
Her luck in life was just too incredible.

"Auntie..." Chloe called out when she saw Adelaide.
Adelaide rushed over to Chloe, hugging her tightly. "Chloe, it's been years since I last saw you. You've grown so much! Oh my, I almost didn't recognize you."
"Who, who wouldn't let my niece in? Step forward!" After hugging Chloe, Adelaide immediately switched to protective mode, which scared Claudia.
Adelaide's questioning left Claudia no choice but to respond.
She quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically, "Adelaide, there's been a misunderstanding. I didn't recognize your niece and thought they were just fans. I'm sorry, it was my mistake."
Claudia's humble demeanor showed that after this incident, she would never dare to act so arrogantly in front of Chloe again.
Adelaide glanced at Claudia and then pulled Chloe to her side, saying, "I hope this mistake doesn't happen again. If it does, Claudia, you won't be able to stay in this circle anymore."
Claudia might be a big shot in the circle, but in front of Adelaide, she was nothing. With just a look from Adelaide, the investors would pull their support from Claudia, and without resources, Claudia would be out of the circle.
Claudia quickly nodded, "Yes, Adelaide, I was wrong. This mistake won't happen again." Before Claudia could finish, Adelaide led Chloe into the club, introducing her to her friends.
Zara followed behind Chloe, smugly wrinkling her nose at Claudia.
Sweat broke out on Claudia's forehead.
She had always been the one to show off in front of others, but after meeting Chloe, she realized her arrogance was useless. Chloe always managed to strike back precisely.
Inside the club, Adelaide introduced Chloe to her friends.
Everyone admired Chloe's looks and praised her, using the most flattering words.
"Adelaide's niece is so cute, she really takes after Adelaide."
"Adelaide is so outstanding, her niece must be amazing too."
"Adelaide has such great taste in fashion, and her niece's style is just as likable."
These compliments left Zara stunned. Adelaide had called in a hurry, and Chloe had only worn a simple Chanel suit.
Was this style really worth all the praise?
In this environment, Chloe was in her element. She politely thanked everyone and, while Adelaide was talking to others, handed Zara a glass of what must have been very expensive wine.
"Zara, drink up. This glass of wine is worth at least twenty thousand dollars. One sip and twenty thousand dollars are gone," Chloe explained.
The price shocked Zara.
