Chapter 434
"How can we just let it go? We're customers!" Alice persisted. She felt more confident now that her son was
dating the Sheriden heiress.
"We're definitely eating here today!"
"That's impossible!" the hostess repeated. "We're offering vouchers and complimentary signature dishes for your
next visit as compensation. Please try to understand."
Other guests with reservations had cby earlier, and most understood after her explanation. Even those who
were unhappy left quickly after learning about the compensation. The Hendersons were the first to make such a

They clearly were not VIPs with any real influence, which was starting to irritate the hostess. Still, she maintained
her composure as a professional and simply repeated the policy.
"Why should we?" Paul glared at her and yelled, "We're only asking for one thing, and that's to eat here today!"
"What's going on? Why aren't you all inside yet?" Just then, Skylar walked up after parking her car.
"Skylar, they won't let us in! They say someone rented out the place!" Paul's confidence grew with her arrival.
"Isn't that unfair?"
"Rented out?" Skylar was surprised. She stepped forward and addressed the hostess, "I'm Skylar Sheriden from
Sheriden Corporation, a VIP customer here!"
"I'm sorry, Ms. Sheriden, but no one can enter today. The entire venue has been bought out." A small company
like Sheriden Group meant little to them. Most diners here were from top-tier families, and the Sheridens were
not particularly powerful among them.
"Are you deaf?" Skylar's face darkened. "Get your manager out here!"
"Our manager is supervising the private room setup. He's preparing scented candles and utensils suitable for Ms.
Henderson. He's not available."
"Not available?" Skylar's expression turned sour as she slapped the hostess across the face. "Who do you think
you are to act so high and mighty? Get the manager out here now!"
In front of the Hendersons, Skylar felt humiliated being refused by a mere hostess. To salvage her dignity, one
slap was not enough. She even kicked the hostess' knee with her high heel.
"Ah!" The hostess cried out and collapsed to the floor. She clutched her knee in pain.
Paul's family, Diana, and Yvonne felt satisfied as they praised Skylar's decisiveness. They thought such an
arrogant person deserved to be taught a lesson.
Joe frowned a little. He felt that bullying a hostess was beneath them. But since Paul had used Skylar's
membership card for the reservation, speaking up for the hostess now would offend Skylar.
He could not risk offending Skylar after she had just helped get Diana released, so he pretended not to notice.
A waitress ran out from the hall to help the fallen hostess. She shouted at Skylar, "Do you have any idea where
you are? How dare you cause trouble here?"
