Chapter 41
Serena slightly lifted her eyelids, glancing up.
The guard’s steps froze instantly.
Serena curled her crimson lips, and with a flick of her fingers, produced a dark gold card engraved with golden filigree.
The moment the guard saw the card, his face paled, and his legs went weak. He snapped to attention, bowing his head deeply to Serena. “Welcome, esteemed Diamond VIP member p>
Diamond VIP member?
Logan and Hailey were stunned.
Serena, a Vault member?
Impossible!
And yet p>
No matter how much they disbelieved it, they watched as Serena handed the dark gold card to the guard. Then, with her hands in her pockets, she strode off in another direction with an arrogant swagger that declared she owned the place.
Logan knew that direction-it led to the newest area of Obsidian Palace, the Elysium Lounge.
It was a place where someone from the Wynn family didn’t even have the right to stand at the entrance.
Serena… actually had an access card?
Logan was so shocked he forgot to help Hailey up, staggering after Serena.
The Elysium Lounge was equipped with an extremely complex sensor system, with strict restrictions on entry and exit.
He watched as the guard placed the dark gold card on the sensor.
“Beep p>
“Identity verified. Welcome to the esteemed Elysium Lounge. Your access level is Diamond VIP. Obsidian Palace welcomes you p>
The cold, synthesized voice rang out clearly.
The adjacent private elevator opened, and a higher-level attendant in a luxury tuxedo stepped forward respectfully, bowing his head to Serena. “Miss Lancaster, good evening. Your friends are waiting in the private room. Shall I escort you p>
Instantly, a dead silence fell over the area.
Logan’s eyes were fixed on the black and gold card in the guard’s hand and the attendant’s utter deferenc to Serena. His face was ashen, his eyes wide as saucers.
He was so shocked his lips trembled. “H-How is that possible… Diamond VIP? She… she’s a country bumpkin, how could she p>
Hailey was already a mess from her encounter with Serena. Her carefully maintained mask of innocence shattered instantly, her nails digging so deep into her palms that she didn’t even notice.
Her face was a mask of horror and disbelief, and her body began to tremble slightly.
She had only just returned to high society.
To her, the Elysium Lounge was the modern equivalent of a royal court—a place only the most powerful and blue-blooded were allowed to enter.
But Serena, a girl from some backwater village, a lowlife whose family came from the slums!
How could she… have access to the Elysium Lounge? How could she have the highest possible clearance p>
“Serena p>
Logan took two resentful steps forward, shouting at Serena’s back.
Under the attendant’s respectful guidance, Serena stepped into the private elevator.
She heard the shout and nonchalantly lifted her eyes, her clear gaze sweeping over Logan and Hailey’s shocked and disgusted faces.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth in a cool, wicked smirk.
Her gaze was cool and devoid of emotion, yet Logan felt a profound sense of contempt!
Serena was looking down on him.
What right did she have to look down on him p>
Logan’s face twisted into a ferocious snarl.
The elevator doors closed, shutting everything out, leaving Logan and Hailey standing there like two clowns ridiculous and laughable Under the strange stares of the onlookers.
“Hey, Nicholas, isn’t that… the little beauty we saw at the hospital today p>
On the second floor of the Elysium Lounge.
