My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 30

It was after the Harper Family communicated with each other that they realized almost all of their memberships were cancelled. All of them had received notifications about the cancellation of their memberships and statements of refunds within the same hour earlier in the morning. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

What’s going on? Could it be said that the opponents of the Harper Family have started to take action after their previous plan failed? Then again, who would have the ability to directly control Audistin? Not to mention, Audistin is not a force one could easily mess with.

If the folks behind Audistin wanted to ruin the Harper Family, we would really be wiped out. Moreover, we have never interfered with their business before this, so this incident shouldn’t have anything to do with them! The Audistin even makes more than a million from us every year!

At first, they unanimously thought that their opponents had started to take action—never once suspecting that the incident was due to another reason.

They even discussed strategies on dealing with their opponents. It was only when Xyla ‘inadvertently’ told them about the incident that happened in Audistin that they learned of the truth. Before they even had the time to reprimand Kayla, they rushed to Audistin’s gym with the intention to get their membership cards reactivated.

Sophia managed to arrive on time for the exciting show.

Richard was neatly dressed in an exquisite and fitting tuxedo, looking polite and elegant. The beautiful necktie in front of his chest further accentuated his good looks.

Although he was merely a sophomore of the Bayside University, an outstanding individual like him had already started to teach himself a doctoral course in management. In addition, he also played an important role in the management of the Harper group.

Therefore, it was only natural for him to represent his family to negotiate with Audistin.

Once they lost the qualification to enter Audistin, the Harper Family would also lose many things as a result of the gap formed between them and the rich people of Bayside City. Hence, he needed to get back the membership of Audistin for his family.

He even brought the reluctant Kayla along with him—and next to her were Xyla and Mrs. Harper.

When Kayla returned home, she didn’t tell anyone about what had happened. However, much to her surprise, the ‘kind’ and innocent Xyla inadvertently spilled the beans about it. Upon realizing the seriousness of the situation, Richard instantly brought Kayla to Audistin to apologize to them.

The person who served them was the manager who had cancelled their membership earlier.

When Richard saw the manager, he greeted him with warmth. “Wesley, long time no see.”

Coincidentally, he knew the manager, who was also a graduate from the Bayside University a few years earlier than them. He was a commoner and worked in Audistin’s entertainment management company after graduating with an excellent result.

Before he came, Richard had done his research—although his intention was to become closer to the manager, he was sure that Mr. Wesley knew him as well.

As someone who became Audistin’s gym manager, Mr. Wesley must have had his own capabilities. Since he knew almost all the young masters, young ladies, and madams in the circle of rich people, he was well aware of the situation and conditions of all the families and what to say on different occasions. “It’s you, Richard. Long time no see. Long time no see!”

They were currently in the crowded hall and surrounded by plenty of people. As their situation was quite embarrassing, Richard tactfully asked, “Wesley, why don’t we look for a quiet place and have a drink together to slowly talk things out—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mr. Wesley directly rejected him. “I’m not free today. Let’s do it next time. You can just say it upfront if you have something to tell me.”

Richard was embarrassed by his blunt rejection. Feeling clueless about his recent bad luck, he could only force himself to explain the reason why he came.

“Something unpleasant happened between you and my sister today. I believe you know that my sister has been pampered since she was little. She’s still young, so her actions may be inappropriate. For my sake, could you—”

“Oh, it’s about that incident…” Enlightened about his sudden appearance, Mr. Wesley interrupted him. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to help you, but your sister really went overboard this time. I believe that you know about the rules in Audistin as well. Regardless of their background, whoever comes to Audistin to look for trouble would be punished.”

Richard immediately forced a smile. “Wesley, it was merely something blurted out by a kid out of anger, so there’s no need to take it seriously. How about we just let this pass for my sake? We, the Harper Family, will make a lump sum payment of one million as the membership fee.”

Membership fees of one million was considered a rather large amount!

However, Mr. Wesley flatly rejected this proposal. “This is not my decision to make. You know this as well… The Audistin usually prioritizes our client’s request. Since it was your sister who requested to cancel her membership, we had no choice but to do so accordingly.”

Richard increased the amount. “Five million!” Even if the Harper Family were to spend at Audistin, it would take us ages to use up the five million in membership fees which we will pay in one lump sum now. Audistin would definitely give in now.

Nevertheless, Mr. Wesley rejected his offer again in a heartbeat. “Richard, you know about Audistin’s membership policy as well. Once you have cancelled your membership, you can never regain it. Besides, we have a limited number of membership quota.

When your sister requested to cancel the Harper Family’s membership, we have since accepted other membership applications. Now, all the vacant spots for memberships have been filled. You are forcing me to do the impossible by asking to regain your membership!”

Richard Harper gave another offer in a deep voice. “Ten million.”

This was the first time in the history of Audistin that someone offered to pay ten million at one go.

Although the Harper family was wealthy, their money did not fall from the sky. On top of that, the Harpers had lost a lot of money because of Kayla’s recent matter. It pained them to spend the ten million.

Nonetheless, saving their reputation and regaining the membership for Audistin was obviously more important.

Mr. Wesley still shook his head. “This is really not a matter about money. Your sister has breached our rules at Audistin and I’m an insignificant gym member, so it’s not in my power to make this decision!”

Richard seemed unperturbed, but his eyes revealed a hint of fluster.

Mrs. Harper stepped forward in an attempt of persuasion. “Mr. Wesley, please just let it pass. After all, we, the Harpers, have been a customer of Audistin for many years now. We have spent at least more than ten million here. This—”

Mr. Wesley continued to shake his head. “Although I really wish that I can help all of you to regain your memberships, there’s really nothing I can do!”

Although Richard strongly believed that there was nothing money couldn’t resolve, Mr. Wesley’s words had made it clear that ordinary methods would not work in this situation. I need to figure out another way!

Kayla, who had remained silent all these while, unexpectedly made a sudden cantankerous remark. “I think you guys are merely being snobbish!”

Mr. Wesley is merely a commoner who graduated from Bayside University. Although he is a graduate, he is still an insignificant gym manager. How dare he offend important clients like us?

Considering the amount of money that the Harper Family has spent in Audistin for the past few years, we are important clients here! This low-ranked manager is merely making a fuss using his position!

Kayla wore her arrogant attitude as the Young Lady Harper. “You are just a low-ranked manager. How dare you cancel our memberships? Ask your boss to come and speak to us!”

When the surrounding onlookers heard her words, they inadvertently stuck their thumbs out to praise her for her courage—as all of them knew that this wasn’t an ordinary gym!
