Chapter 32
Several people were waiting outside The Gourmand.
They were all queueing up to enter the restaurant. Before this, they were discussing the Blithe King. After
they heard what James said, the crowd erupted in titters.
“The Diamond Room? Looks like the Callahans’ son-in-law is good at something after all-boasting.”
“He’s a nobody! He can’t even afford a car. Remember how he used to pick Thea up from work with an
electric motorcycle? If he can’t even afford a car, how can he afford the Diamond Room?”
“Rumor has it that it’s not enough to be rich to use the Diamond room. The Gourmand’s owner hails from
an important family in the Capital. He’s from a true upper-class family. Hardly anybody in Cansington
could secure a reservation for the Diamond Room.”
“Not even The Great Four could get access to the Diamond Room.”

Their jeers angered Gladys once more and she rounded on him. “You idiot! Haven’t you done enough?”
“Hush, Jamie.” Thea put her hand on James. As someone who was born and bred in Cansington, she
was familiar with the origins of The Gourmand and the significance of the Diamond Room. “Chad,
where’s your silver member card? Show it to these poor folks here. Allow them a glimpse of the silver
member card.” Felicia stuck her nose up in the air and looked at Gladys disdainfully. Gladys went pale.
Felicia was ecstatic noticing how uncomfortable Gladys was.
Chad whipped out a pure white card. Shiny and exquisite, it featured a silver VIP stamp.
“Wow, so this is a silver member card! I’ve never even seen it before!”
“The Wilsons live up to their reputation. Apparently, you have to spend a million dollars at The Gourmand
to be upgraded to a silver member card. Spending ten million and above entitles you to a gold member
card. As for the diamond member card, it’s priceless. Only those hand-picked by The Gourmand’s owner
will receive a diamond member card from him personally.”
“As if it wasn’t enough to be handsome and dashing, Chad Wilson is rich and young too! Whoever
marries him is lucky indeed!” Hearing all the praise, Felicia was smugger than ever. Gladys, on the other
hand, grew even unhappier.
The whole matter was almost forgotten, but James had embarrassed her yet again with his stupid
question. “Let’s just go, you idiots.”
Under admiring gazes, Felicia looped her arm through her husband’s and entered
The Gourmand.
As she left, she threw out another cutting remark. “Ten percent of Eternality? All of Cansington knows
that Benjamin Callahan is useless. The set is complete with a useless husband, an ugly daughter, and a
useless son-in-law. Haha, this is hilarious.”
All the Callahans paled. Gladys in particular looked the worst. Reputation and image were everything to
her. Thea looked at her mother’s stony face and hid behind James. Just then, they heard a set of hurried

way toward them. “Oh my God, it’s The Gourmand’s owner Bryan Grayson!” “He’s so low-profile yet
commanding.” “I’ve heard that Bryan hails from the Capital. Ever since he set up The Gourmand in
Cansington, he’s barely made any appearances. Nobody knows anything about him.”
Several young women looked like they were about to fall at his feet, handsome as, he was. This was true
wealth and power. How could The Great Four even compare? After the call he had just received, Bryan
dared not waste a second. He saw Felicia’s daughter, Emily Wilkins. Mistaking her for Thea, he bowed to
her respectfully. “My apologies. I have kept you waiting for far too long. The Diamond Room is ready.
This way, please.”
What?
Everyone at The Gourmand was utterly shocked.
“The Wilsons are a great family indeed. Even The Gourmand’s owner is here to greet them in person.”
