Chapter 28:
Phillip struggled against the guards, the vivid slap mark making his expression even more ferocious. “Rylie, is this who you really are? You’ve always bullied Stacey and exploited my kindness! Today, as your brother, I’ll teach you a lesson p>
“What’s going on here?” Clive immediately stepped protectively in front of Rylie, his voice stern. “How dare you cause trouble for my guest? Get out! You and your team are permanently banned from Savory Haven p>
“And who do you think you are? The customer is always right — you can’t throw me out!” Phillip spat angrily, fighting against the guards. “No one can stop me from disciplining my sister today p>
Regular patrons recognized Clive and warned softly, “Kirk boy, you’d better not offend Mr. Perry p>
Those in the know were aware of Clive’s connections to the powerful Morgan family, and his wife was a key figure in the world’s largest restaurant empire. The Kirk family was insignificant in comparison.
Phillip, oblivious to these facts, continued ranting.
With a simple gesture from Clive, security threw Phillip and his followers out onto the street. Clive then declared firmly, “From now on, all Kirk family members are banned from every establishment I own. Take your entitled attitude somewhere else p>
Clive didn’t just own one restaurant; he also had many cafés, bars, and eateries favored by high society. Being banned by Clive meant that Phillip would be excluded from future elite gatherings.
Only after being expelled and meeting contemptuous stares from passersby did Phillip realize his blunder.
That seemingly insignificant middle-aged man was actually the restaurant’s influential owner, and Rylie was his honored guest.
How could this be? Rylie, who should’ve been a penniless outcast, knew such a prominent figure?
Brad emerged from the elevator, approaching Rylie with concern when he noticed the ruined cake in her hands. “The driver said he hadn’t seen you yet. What happened here p>

“Nothing much, just ran into some unpleasant company.” Rylie brushed it off, looking at Brad curiously. “Finished your meeting already p>
He’d hurried out of worry, anticipating trouble, but Brad simply nodded. “Yes. Let’s go, I’ll drive you home p>
He pressed the elevator button and waited courteously, allowing her to step inside first.
Rylie entered confidently, and Brad leaned slightly toward her, their closeness sparking curiosity among observers.
It was the first time anyone had seen the enigmatic Brad openly attentive toward a seemingly unknown girl.
From the roadside, Phillip stared bitterly as a tall man in a luxury suit held open a car door for Rylie.
It wasn’t just any car — its sheer extravagance revealed the man’s elevated status.
How had Rylie’s circumstances changed so drastically?
Lost in thought, Phillip barely noticed when a fellow racer tapped his shoulder. “Maybe you should head home. Didn’t you say it was Stacey’s birthday today p>
