Chapter 1314 Becoming a Joke
“You!” Lynette was livid with rage. Her already discordant face now looked downright grotesque. It was completely devoid of any beauty.
To make matters worse, someone in the crowd couldn’t help but burst out laughing after hearing Wynter’s words. Everyone looked over to see it was a waitstaff from Serenity Hotel.
The waitstaff cleared his throat and covered his mouth before apologizing, “Sorry.” But it was clear he was struggling to hold back his laughter.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce were all feeling second–hand embarrassment for Lynette. They had been discussing things earlier, but now the silence was so profound that it felt like one could hear a pin drop.
The longer the silence went on, the more Lynette seemed like a complete joke.
Kenton understood perfectly well that Lynette had utterly humiliated him. “Take her away!” he barked at his assistant.
Lynette looked at him in disbelief. “Kenton, I’m a member of the Chamber of Commerce too. You can’t-”
“Take her away!” Kenton snapped. Lynette staying here would only drag the entire Wray family down with
her!
The assistant didn’t hesitate and immediately went to escort her out.
Of course, Lynette was unwilling to leave. She began shouting and causing a scene. “Kenton Wray! Are you out of your mind? You’re turning on me instead of dealing with that girl! I’m your sister! You-”
Before Lynette could finish her sentence, a silver hairpin sliced across her face.
It was the actor who was standing beside the auction items on the proscenium stage. Her voice was stern and unyielding, a stark contrast from her usual opera singing tone.
“At Serenity Hotel, the rules are clear. Be silent upon entry, and don’t say or touch what you shouldn’t.”
The moment those words were spoken, all the waitstaff turned their gaze toward the actor. Her words were not just a warning for Lynette, but also Kenton.
One shouldn’t think that they could act recklessly just because they had successfully entered Serenity Hotel. If they broke the rules, they would be shown the door even if they had paid a deposit.
Kenton understood the gravity of the situation. He had finally managed to get a connection with Serenity Hotel and hadn’t even met the owner yet. He certainly didn’t want to offend them at such a crucial
moment.
Having just stepped into Hawford’s upper echelons, he couldn’t afford to be kicked out of Serenity Hotel.
“It’s all a misunderstanding. There have been no disturbances,” Kenton hurriedly said, lowering his stance
significantly.
It was well known that people from Serenity Hotel would not mind embarrassing anyone.
Lynette was also stunned. She was terrified and worried that today’s events would become an irreparable disgrace if the word spread.
However, under the waitstaff’s scrutinizing gazes, she couldn’t bring herself to say a word. She knew she couldn’t afford to be blacklisted by Serenity Hotel. That would mean she’d never be able to be the top influence in Hawford.

The onlookers had varied expressions as they observed the Wrays‘ behavior. When Reuben had pleaded on Wynter’s behalf earlier, he had done so with dignity and composure. It reflected his family’s stature.
Despite sensing the surrounding disdain, Kenton was still anxious and dared not to cause any more trouble. He feared receiving another warning from Serenity Hotel.
At this moment, Kenton had seemingly forgotten that Wynter had already gone up to the second floor. She was essentially trampling all over Serenity Hotel’s rules without anyone saying a word to her. Was this really all because of Reuben’s influence?
Only Wynter knew the answer. She was even more certain of her connection with the hotel now, especially after witnessing the scene‘ earlier. However, she was still unsure of the relationship’s exact
nature.
However… Wynter glanced down at her hand, pondering. Who would give a black ring as a keepsake?
