Chapter 188
Griffin’s eyes lit up with amusement. Two people with identical valid cards? This was a first.
“Mr. Orlando, what should we do?”
Before Griffin could respond, Valeria jumped in. “Just check who the card owner is—it’s my fiancé, Jasper Hale. He gave me the card, so where do you think my sister got hers?”
Anastasia said calmly, “I opened this membership myself.”
“Since both of you claim to be right, let’s just call and sort this out,” Griffin said.
Free drama? Don’t mind if I do.
What kind of wife did Cassian pick? This is getting interesting.
Anastasia was thinking, Let’s see just how shameless Jasper really is.
The membership was her idea originally. When they’d applied, she’d wanted to put it under her name, but Jasper convinced her to use the company’s name instead, claiming there were business discounts and tax benefits. She’d been soft-hearted back then, agreeing to do it “for the company, for him.” But she’d paid for it with her own bonus money!
The security guard got Jasper on the phone and explained the situation.
“So who’s the actual cardholder? Who should we let in?” the guard asked.
There was sudden silence on Jasper’s end—probably hesitating.
There was no way in hell Valeria was going to let Anastasia win, not unless she wanted to lose all face.
“Jasper, I’m here and everything’s going great,” Valeria said pointedly.
Understanding her hint, Jasper hesitated for a moment. He’d been about to say the card belonged to Anastasia, but after Valeria’s prompt, he said, “Valeria.”
Hearing exactly what she wanted, Valeria turned to Anastasia with a smug expression. “Sorry, sister, but facts are facts.”
“Actually, I’m surprised that even after you and Jasper broke up, you still kept this membership card. What’s that about? Trying to freeload? Or are you still hung up on him? You guys are over—can’t you just leave us alone?”
Griffin was absolutely lapping this up. This drama is better than reality TV.
But is this tea actually hot?
Anastasia let out a cold laugh. “Only you would enjoy digging through garbage dumps looking for trash.”
She pulled out another card and told the guard, “I want to open a new membership right now, under my own name.”
Sharlene’s jaw dropped so far she nearly forgot to close it. She rushed to Anastasia’s side. “Ana, membership here costs two million dollars!” Not two hundred!
Valeria gleefully piled on. “Yeah, sister, if money’s tight, just say so. I’d be happy to lend you some.”
Anastasia didn’t even spare Valeria a glance. She told the guard, “Please hurry this up.”
“Of course, I’ll get our staff to process this immediately. Please wait just a moment.”
Valeria didn’t go inside—she wanted to watch Anastasia’s card get declined and see her humiliated. But to her disappointment, the transaction went through smoothly.
When the guard respectfully handed Anastasia her new membership card, Valeria’s face went dark as a storm cloud.
Anastasia looked at Valeria with a slight smile. “Oh, by the way.”
