Chapter 27
Looking at Barry’s expression that suddenly changed, Robert was confused.
“Do
really think you’re the son of the hotel owner? Is Grand Triumphant Hotel yours? If Grand Triumphant Hotel belongs to you, the whole Yrinas is mine! Yesterday was a big show. Kendrick told me that you mortgaged your house. Ha! You’ve spent a lot of money pretending to be wealthy! Barry crossed his arms over his chest with a sarcastic look.
Robert became more confused when he heard Barry’s words.
“Are you saying I mortgaged the house? Did Kendrick tell you that?” asked Robert.
Barry said, “Okay, stop acting. I thought you were gutsy. Now I realize you’re so hypocritical that it disgusts me. No wonder Marilyn dumped you. You know very well about your family’s situation. You even mortgaged the house to put up an act.” Barry looked at Robert with disdain. “Robert, so what if you put up an act yesterday? What’s next? You still envy me! I’m telling you, the life I have now is something you can’t have in your lifetime. But for the sake of being your classmate, I can still give you a chance. As long as you apologize, I can consider letting you go to my company to work as a cleaner.” “Oh, by the way, don’t think that you will make me feel bad if you put up an act in front of me. On the contrary, I hate people around me who are richer than me, especially losers like you, Robert. So, the more you pretend, the more I hate you, understand?” After saying that, Barry picked up his plate and left proudly.
Robert glanced at Barry’s back, shook his head, and ignored him.
He thought, “Is there any loser who can win a scholarship for four years? Could Marilyn have a crush on a loser? Maybe it’s true that Barry hates people around him who are richer than him.”
At that moment, Robert was not keen on competing with people like Barry. He preferred to learn more about management and investment when he had time.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Robert had a cup of espresso to clear up his mind. He put on his formal clothes and went to the meeting room.
That day, some people in Yrinas wanted to enter the small circle. To do that, they needed to have a certain strength. However, the most important thing was to get permission from the Zabinski family. If they could not satisfy the Zabinski family, they could not join the circle in Yrinas, even if they had some great capabilities.
It was the so–called initiation.
Whoever wanted to enter the business community in Yrinas must go through that first.
In the largest meeting room of Grand Triumphant Hotel, there was a long table that could fit 20 people. Barry was sitting at the least noticeable seat at the long table and was trembling because of the anxiety. He was about to meet the most important figure in Yrinas. It made Barry post on Instagram several times in a row. He even thought about what he would brag about at the party with his friends that night.
“Behave well later. Don’t embarrass yourself here. Sitting next to Barry was a middle–aged man. He was an elder to Barry. He had some status in Yrinas. At that time, Barry was able to come only because of the man’s ability.
“I understand, Mr. Lobelius, responded Barry humbly.
There were a total of 13 people sitting in the meeting room. Those people were all successful in their respective circles. However, they were similar to Barry and were extremely nervous waiting in the meeting room.
The door opened, and an elderly man walked in first. When he entered the room, almost everyone in the meeting room stood up simultaneously.
