“You wish!”
Zoey would rather die than agree to such a condition.
“Fine. Just you wait!”
Derrick grinned insidiously before turning to leave.
Noticing Zoey’s pale complexion, Levi grasped her hand and asked, “Zoey, what happened? Who’s that guy just now?”
Zoey shook her head. “It’s nothing!”
However, she knew Derrick wouldn’t let this rest, so she was perturbed along the way.
Halfway through, a large group of people suddenly surrounded the four of them.
These people were members of the security team, each pointing at them with a gun.
Zoey was scared out of her wits. Her face drained of all colors as she gripped Levi’s hand tightly.
Likewise, Aaron and Caitlyn were paralyzed in terror, as they knew that it was Derrick’s revenge.
The leader of the group, decked out in combat suits, looked at them with cold and merciless eyes under the protective goggles. “Mr. Johns, is this the criminal that you were speaking of?”
“Yes, Mr. Lewis!” Derrick replied. “This guy’s fresh out of prison today. How is he qualified to attend such a banquet? I suspect he has something up his sleeve! If anything crops up on this occasion, can you afford to bear this responsibility, Mr. Lewis?”
“What? Is this for real?”
Ethan Lewis, the deputy team leader of the security team, was responsible for the safety inside. He wasn’t aware of how they had come in.
Derrick flashed a complacent smile at Zoey, then said to Ethan, “No matter what’s the situation, Mr. Lewis, I suggest we arrest him first! We need to get rid of any possible risks!”
“Right! How could he attend this banquet right after he was released from prison? Check their invitations first!” Ethan said coldly.
Zoey and her parents were dumbfounded.
What invitation cards! There were no invitation cards at all!
“Hand over the invitations!” Derrick spoke in an overbearing manner.
“We don’t have them,” Levi replied placidly.
“Haha. Did you hear that, Mr. Lewis? They have no invitations at all! Something is definitely fishy here!” Derrick was elated to hear that they came without any invitation.
“Men, arrest them!” Ethan gave his orders.
At that point, Zoey was already freaking out.

We may not have an invitation, but we came in legally, so we’re safe. And what Derrick did just now has disrupted the order of the banquet. You guys saw the horde of busybodies just now, no? That’s a bad impression right there. If the God of War learned about what transpired just now, forget about Derrick,
