After inquiring through various sources, Emily knew that Sebastian’s mother Norah often went to a restaurant called K Restaurant. But she wouldn’t go to see her directly. If she had done that, she would have been kicked out by the Clark family before she could see Norah.

Since she couldn’t go to see Norah directly, she would act under the rose.

Eliana, the daughter of Mr. Evans, one of the owners of the K Restaurant, was Emily’s best friend for many years. Emily called her to find out which was Norah’s private room and the scheduled time. She prepared to wait for her there in advance.

Only VIP could be allowed to enter there. The security guard standing there stopped her, “Lady, please show me your VIP card.”

What he meant was very clear. She couldn’t enter unless she had that card. She just asked Eliana to inquire about the basic information, but did not ask for any card.

She took off her sunglasses and showed only half of her charming eyes. She immediately put on a smile, “I’m here to meet someone.”

“Since you’re here to meet someone, please tell me the name and room number of the guest, lady.”

She said calmly, “I’m here to meet Mrs. Clark, Room 203.”

After hearing her answer, the security guard froze. He asked, “Do you have an appointment with Mrs. Clark?”

Emily should have thought of this. Not everyone could meet Norah directly. She hadn’t considered about that.

“Then you can go and inform her that I am her future daughter-in-law. I would like to meet her in advance.” In for a penny, in for a pound. If she didn’t take bold steps, she couldn’t see Mrs. Clark today.

Then the security guard breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said in a flattering way, “Please wait here. I’ll send someone upstairs.”

Three minutes later, the security guard went back to invite her in, but obviously he was more respectful than before.

The further she walked in, the more she felt like she had travelled through time. There were all kinds of furnishings in the restaurant. Walls and decorations were all designed according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty. It was full of antique flavors there. The sporadic fragrance of tea was even more refreshing.
