Chapter 456: The Hidden Invitation
If they had realized the bride wasn’t Ella, Eric would have naturally found a way to stop Carl.
Now, with the bride and groom already back, access to the ninth floor of the hotel was tightly controlled.
At the stairway entrance, security guards stood in formation, and only those with invitations were allowed through.
When Vivian and her group arrived at the Nelson Group Hotel, Eric and Ella were already entertaining guests on the ninth floor.
"What do we do now? They’ve already had the wedding! Damn it, I’m furious! You’re all useless!" Vivian fumed, her face contorted in anger as she jabbed the elevator button for the ninth floor, as if willing it to arrive instantly.
Carl wore a guilty expression. "I’m sorry, Vivian... I didn’t know Eric would be this cunning. A man like him doesn’t deserve you. Maybe we should just let this go..."
Vivian shot him a glare, silencing him instantly. "If you’re tired of this, then why did you bother coming with me?"
Carl quickly raised his hands in a placating gesture, apologizing profusely until Vivian turned away and stopped scolding him.
When they reached the ninth floor, Vivian froze at the sight of the imposing guards stationed at the entrance.
"I’m here for Mr. Nelson’s wedding banquet. I’m a close friend of his, Miss Vivian. Could you please inform him of my arrival?" Vivian said loudly, trying to sound confident.
The guard blocking her path shook his head apologetically. "I’m sorry, Miss, but no one is allowed in without an invitation."
