The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection
Billionaire With Husband 356

Chapter 356

When a woman said something like that, it showed just how strongly she felt.

Even Felix was taken aback as he reached out to touch Yvonne's face. "If I can marry you one day, I won't need anyone's approval. I hope you can understand that."

As the car door opened, Yvonne said, "I belong to Lady Nala in both life and death. Even if I'm deeply in love, we cannot be together without her permission. I hope you understand that as well."

At sunset, the entrance of Yardley Dining was lined with a red carpet and flanked with rows of elegant torches. The waitresses, clad in dresses, wore bright smiles and were fully prepared for the grand event. A banner that hung above the entrance read, "Welcome to Yardley Dining, Lady Summers."

The restaurant was closed to the public that day, all for the sake of one guest-Xena Summers. The smile on Larry's face as he surveyed the restaurant showed how happy he was.

Larry Laird, the owner of Yardley Dining, hadn't expected Felix to pull it off. On top of that, he had managed to bring her over for dinner so soon.

"Why aren't the lights on over there? Get them fixed right away!" Larry instructed.

"Yes!"

Everyone knew how important that night was, so no one dared to slack off. As restaurant staff, they were witnessing a momentous occasion.

After all, Xena was the only goddess of war in Dragonia, and news was spreading widely that Xena was about to be promoted to become one of the Great Warlords. Having such a person dine at Yardley Dining-and allowing it to be publicized-would greatly benefit their restaurant.

"Sir, there's a disturbance at the entrance!"

Upon hearing the restaurant manager's report, Larry's expression darkened with anger. Damn it! Are they deliberately trying to sabotage me? Let's go!"

Anyone who dared to ruin the day would become his lifelong enemy.

At the entrance of Yardley Dining, five men lay on the ground moaning while a large man stood, visibly shaken. He was staring at the middle-aged man before him. Despite his gentle demeanor, the middle-aged man was ruthless. All five of the large man's guards were knocked down instantly.

"You'd better think carefully! Our boss will be here soon, and if you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened."

The middle-aged man maintained a light smile, unfazed. "Oh? I'm actually curious to see what your boss can do about me! The fact is, it's an honor for you to have my employer dine at your restaurant. After all, you're not open to the public today. Adding one more person shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Furious, the large man suddenly pointed at the banner. "Damn it! Open your eyes and take a good look! Our boss is hosting Lady Summers tonight. I don't care who your employer is. He'll have to face the consequences if he disturbs her dinner!"

His remark finally made the middle-aged man glance up at the banner, and his smile faded.

At that moment, Larry also arrived. Taking in the situation, he lividly said, "Leave. I don't want to complicate things today."

To his surprise, the middle-aged man grinned and replied, "You're doing this because of Lady Summers? That's excellent. Have her dine with my employer, then."
