The Billionaire Ex-Wife Stormed Back as a Marvelous Divine Doctor-Chapter 71 - Black Card
71: Chapter 71: Black Card
71 -71: Black Card
Ivy River’s casual comment left both of them dumbfounded.
Isla Sutton snapped back, “Impossible, didn’t you divorce a long time ago?”
“Exactly, President Blake already brought Mrs.
Blake here for a meal.
If you’re spreading rumors, don’t blame me for asking you to leave!”
The waiter echoed, while moving a stool behind Isla Sutton.
Afraid she would tire from standing.
Ivy River raised an eyebrow with a smile, “Why don’t you search on Baidu for Edwin Blake’s ex-wife and see if it says Ivy River.”
The waiter, half-believing, searched.
Upon seeing the result, he exclaimed, “No way!
How could it be possible!”
He couldn’t believe that this impoverished woman before him could be Edwin Blake’s ex-wife.
“Just an ex-wife, not the current one.” The waiter reacted swiftly, “Ma’am, please follow our rules and make a reservation in advance, thank you!”
“Isla Sutton, are you Edwin Blake’s current wife?”
Ivy River’s teasing tone made Isla Sutton very uncomfortable.
“Not yet, but soon.”
“Oh?
Is that so?
Then why does Edwin Blake still want to have a second child with me?”
Ivy River effortlessly struck at Isla Sutton’s heart.
“Impossible!
You’re lying.”
“If you can spout lies, why can’t I?”
Ivy River spoke slowly, “I respect you as staff, but you can’t treat people differently; respecting every customer is your minimum standard.”
“Of the three conditions you mentioned earlier, Isla Sutton didn’t meet any.
Either she makes a reservation, or I’ll make a big fuss.”
The waiter looked at Ivy River with a hint of worry about her escalating the situation.
“Miss Sutton is President Blake’s current partner.
Even though they’re not married yet, they surely will be in the future.”
“Who gave you two such confidence?”
Isla Sutton sneered, “This isn’t confidence; it’s fact.”
Ivy River nodded earnestly, “Alright, then I’ll let you go this time, but when Edwin Blake leaves you, I’ll be sure to give you a proper slap in the face.”
The waiter cleared his throat, “Miss River, if there’s nothing else, please leave, thank you.”
Ivy River smiled lightly, “How much does it cost to become a top-tier member of your restaurant?”
“A million.”
“Only a million?”
Isla Sutton mocked, “If you can produce a million, say so.
Don’t brag.”
Ivy River looked at Isla Sutton and spoke, “What if there’s a Black Card?”
“A Black Card!”
The waiter was shocked, having forgotten this condition.
A Black Card represents status.
Nationwide, those who hold a Black Card are few.
This restaurant is a subsidiary brand under Grandduke Town, belonging to a top-tier group.
Comparable to established groups like the Blake Clan or the Hodges Clan.
Thus, the service attitude is impeccable.
When the restaurant was established, the chairman declared that if a Black Card holder arrives, they are to be unconditionally accommodated, without waiting in line, and given a free meal.
If such a guest requests to clear out the restaurant, they must also oblige.
However, in his years working here, the waiter had never seen a Black Card.
It was said that in Seaton, only Edwin Blake possesses a Black Card.
Even the Hodges Clan isn’t eligible to apply for one.
How did Ivy River come to have such a rare Black Card?
Isla Sutton, knowing the rarity of the Black Card, was likewise perplexed, “Ivy River, how do you have a Black Card?”
“Is it very difficult to own a Black Card?”
The waiter thought Ivy River was boasting, “Stop bluffing, just take the second route; if you can produce a million, I’ll let you in to dine.”
Isla Sutton sneered, “A million?
You’re overestimating her; she probably doesn’t even have a hundred thousand.”
Ivy River stayed silent and began rummaging through her bag.
“Hold on a bit, I just found it, but there’s a lot in my bag.”
“Haha, Miss Sutton, look, she’s still bluffing.
I can’t even watch…”
The waiter’s mockery was abruptly cut off.
He rubbed his eyes, confirming he indeed saw the corner of a black card.
He couldn’t help but start to panic.
Ivy River casually took out a Black Card and tossed it onto the counter.
“Is this the Black Card you’re talking about?”
The waiter and Isla Sutton were collectively stunned.
Isla Sutton turned pale, emotionally distraught, “Did Edwin give this to you?”
“I returned the Black Card to him when we divorced.
Didn’t he give it to you?”
Ivy River raised her eyebrows at Isla Sutton, her words dripping with sarcasm, hitting Isla Sutton like a sharp slap.
Isla Sutton was furious and agitated, “I didn’t ask for it!”
“Oh~ didn’t ask for it, or didn’t get it?”
“Don’t you boast here!” Isla Sutton yelled at Ivy River, “How can you be sure this Black Card is real?”
The waiter stayed silent.
He hadn’t seen it before, but his intuition told him the card was genuine.
“If you’re doubtful, you can take the card for verification.”
The waiter spoke softly, “No need, Miss River, please come in.
Is there any special request?”
“A small request—when I dine, I don’t like to see people I despise.”
Ivy River’s underlying message was clear.
The waiter immediately understood, awkwardly looking at Isla Sutton, “Uh…
Miss Sutton, you may need a reservation; I’m afraid you won’t be able to dine today.”
“Who do you think you are, do you know who I am?
Who gave you such authority?”
“Miss Sutton, please understand.
Or if you prefer, I can have your food packed to-go.”
Isla Sutton was on the verge of breaking down, “I want to dine in.”
“Without a reservation, or perhaps if President Blake brings you…
to dine in?”
The waiter was slapped immediately after finishing those words.
He held his face, “Miss Sutton, please forgive me.”
“Isla Sutton, if you can’t win the power struggle, then that’s your problem.
What is hitting someone going to do?”
Ivy River spoke lightly, “Or do you think the staff is there to be bullied?”
“It’s alright, Miss River.
It doesn’t hurt.”
The waiter, worried about causing trouble for himself, softly reassured her. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Ivy River sneered, surveying the restroom direction with her eyes.
Fatty and Emmy were bouncing over, hand in hand, making her smile.
“Babies~ come over, we can go inside to eat now.”
“Don’t start trouble, or you’ll be in deep trouble.”
Ivy River couldn’t care less about Isla Sutton, glancing at her indifferently while leading the children inside.
“Mommy, I want a Big Mac Burger!”
“What’s so good about burgers?
Pizza is the best!”
Fatty and Emmy bickered at the entrance, one stomping a foot and the other crossing their arms.
Neither willing to back down.
Ivy River’s heart melted looking at them, “How about buying both?
You two sure can argue!”
Isla Sutton watched this mother-and-children scene, feeling extremely stung.
“Who’s the father of these bastards?”
Ivy River coldly swept her gaze over, about to speak.
Fatty furrowed his brow, his tone icy, “Why is your mouth so foul, apologize to us.”
“I called you both mongrels, bastards!”
Ivy River strode forward and slapped her, yanking her hair and speaking sinisterly by her ear:
“If Edwin Blake finds out that you called his children bastards, how do you think he’ll deal with you?”
