Chapter 388 - Stopped At The Entrance

Upon hearing what Lucas said, Cheyenne immediately felt rather surprised.

But she soon understood what he meant.

Since Kenneth had given Cheyenne an invitation and the opportunity to socialize with the upper-class families and enterprises in LA, there was no reason for her to give it up for nothing.

Regardless of what Kenneth's motive was, Lucas was now by Cheyenne's side, so there was likely no way Kenneth could achieve his goal.

Having figured this out, Cheyenne stopped refusing. "Alright, let's go in and take a look then!"

Seeing Cheyenne finally agreeing, Nikki heaved a huge sigh of relief. At the very least, Kenneth couldn't blame her for being incompetent because she got Cheyenne to stay.

Although Kenneth was extremely displeased with Lucas's appearance, his eyes flashed, and he soon seemed excited.

Soon, they walked to the front door of the arts center and were about to enter, but two security guards stopped them at the entrance.

"Hello, Mr. Parker!" The security guards greeted Kenneth respectfully and said with a conflicted expression, "I'm so sorry, but there's an extremely important exhibition in our arts center today, so all guests must present their invitation to be granted entry. We know who you are, but it's our duty to check. We hope to seek your understanding!"

Kenneth smiled. "You don't have to apologize. You guys are doing a great job. Rules are meant to be followed, and since the guests today are all distinguished figures, the security has to be tight. Those without invitations must not be permitted entry!"

He praised the two security guards before cooperatively handing over the three invitation cards in his hand to them. At the same time, he deliberately glanced at Lucas.

The security guards carefully checked the invitation cards and confirmed that they were genuine. However, there were four people in front of them but only three invitation cards.

"Mr. Parker, I'm sorry, but you only have three invitation cards. It seems… you're missing one," one of the security guards said.

Kenneth smirked. "That's right. The invitation cards are for these two beautiful ladies and me. This other person has nothing to do with me."

The security guards immediately turned to look at Lucas and scrutinized him a little. The fact that they were tasked to guard such an important event and check the invitations meant that they weren't silly. Soon, they understood what Kenneth meant.

Although the rules were that people needed an invitation card to enter, they didn't necessarily have to be followed strictly. If a prestigious and esteemed person wanted to bring a few friends with them, it wasn't impossible to allow it.

But they could tell from what Kenneth said that he didn't want to let Lucas enter.

"Yes, Mr. Parker. These three invitations for you and the two beautiful ladies beside you are valid. Please come in!" One of the security guards smiled and gestured for them to enter the arts center.

The other security guard stood in front of Lucas with a hostile expression to stop him while questioning curtly, "Where's your invitation card?"

Nikki immediately gloated and gibed with derision, "Hmph, the guests invited to the exhibition today are all wealthy and of noble status, unlike someone over here who doesn't have a single invitation card at all. He isn't fit to enter!"

Cheyenne's face turned sullen as she finally figured out that Kenneth had been waiting to humiliate Lucas at the entrance.

They were not locals of LA
