Marty didn't bother answering Alex's question. He just raised his hand and slapped Alex again. "Go home. You're here to make friends, not butt into people's affairs. You stupid fool."
Alex had never seen Marty so angry before. He didn't know what he did wrong but was too frightened to defend himself. "I'm leaving. I'll go home now."
Standing to the side, Jeffrey said, "Mr. Miller, as you said, anyone caught sneaking in would get kicked out. Why didn't you throw Matthew out instead of hitting Alex?"
With a darkened expression, Marty replied, "Alex is my nephew, and I can discipline him as I see fit. As for the club, anyone who enters is a distinguished guest. You better watch your mouth."
Jeffrey was rendered speechless, looking embarrassed.
He couldn't figure out what had happened himself. Earlier, Marty had firmly stated that anyone who snuck in would be kicked out. Less than a minute later, Marty changed his mind and warned Jeffrey instead.
Marty thereafter completely ignored Jeffrey. Upon seeing that Matthew was still upset, he lowered his head and apologized, "Mr. Grant, I humbly apologize. Alex was being immature and caused you problems. I'll ensure he learns his lesson."
Since Marty had to keep Matthew's identity a secret, he could only apologize in such a manner.
Matthew waved a dismissive hand and glanced at Alex. He coldly commanded, "Get him out of here. He's getting on my nerves."
Marty leaned forward. "Sure, I'll kick him out now."
After saying that, Marty grabbed Alex by his hair and dragged him out. "Get out!"
"Ah! Uncle Marty! My hair!" Alex yelled. After being taken out of the room, his shouting became more distant until he could no longer be heard.
The room fell silent. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop.
Rachel looked at Matthew in surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
What did Matthew do? Marty was the manager of Opulent Club, so why was he being so cautious and respectful around Matthew?
Jeffrey was still in shock.
When Alex reported Matthew earlier, he ended up being kicked out of the club himself. Why did that happen? What was the reason?
Another woman was sat in the room, dressed seductively. She hadn't said a word the entire time.
