Chapter 662
Bryce let out a cold chuckle. “Sorry, but Mr. Sean doesn’t have time for this. Feel free to file a complaint if you’re unhappy with the price. But first, you need to pay the bill.”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and within seconds, about five massive bodyguards stepped forward, surrounding Andrew. These guys were not just for show–road shoulders, thick beards, and the kind of dead- serious expressions that screamed they had seen blood before.
Marcus had just finished his business, buckling his belt as he walked into the lobby. The moment he saw Andrew surrounded by muscle–bound enforcers, his face darkened with rage.
He growled, “What the hell is this? Dream Paradise, what do you think you’re doing?”
Bryce gave him a smirk that did not reach his eyes. “Mr. Chapman, your friend here doesn’t seem to understand how things work.
“He agreed to pay, but once he saw the total, he suddenly decided he couldn’t afford it. Looks like he’s trying to skip out on the bill.
“Heh, maybe you can explain to him what happens to people who act tough in Dream Paradise?”
Marcus frowned. “Skip out on the bill? That’s impossible–Mr. Lloyd isn’t that kind of guy.”
Bryce let out a mocking laugh. “Then you should ask him yourself.”
Marcus immediately turned to Andrew. “Mr. Lloyd, what’s going on? I told you, this was my treat.”
Andrew gave him a half–smile. “Alright then, go ahead–pay for it.”
Without a second thought, Marcus stepped up to settle the bill. However, the moment he saw the total–over five million–his expression turned ice–cold.
He snapped, “What the hell is this? I’m a regular here, and you’re seriously trying to shake me down like this? That’s low.”
Bryce remained unfazed. “Mr. Chapman, either you pay up or you walk away and leave your friend to handle it himself.”
Marcus argued, “We came here together, and you expect me to just leave him? What kind of bullshit is that?”
Bryce’s tone grew colder. “Mr. Chapman, I suggest you don’t get involved. Mr. Sean wants this price paid today, and if your friend can’t cover it, then he’s not walking out of Dream Paradise.”
Internally, Bryce almost felt bad for Andrew. He had no idea what this guy did to piss off Sean, but he was clearly out of luck tonight. Meanwhile, Marcus‘ expression was as dark as a thunderstorm.
He had brought Andrew here for a good time, only to end up in this ridiculous mess. The whole situation had already ruined his mood, but what angered him the most was the blatant disrespect.
Dream Paradise pulling this kind of stunt was not just screwing over Andrew–it was an insult to him.
“Where’s Sean? I want to have a word with him. We come from the same circles, and if this is his idea of hospitality, then he’s got no shame at all.”
Marcus demanded to speak to the real mastermind behind this setup. Before Bryce could respond, a smug- looking Sean strolled in, accompanied by Dexter and a group of other spoiled rich kids.
“Mr. Chapman, you were looking for me?” Sean asked, smirking as he approached.

Marcus‘ tone was laced with anger. “Sean, I’ve known your father for years, and we’ve always had mutual respect. But this this is crossing the line. Is this really how you treat my friends?”
Sean let out a lazy chuckle, completely unbothered. “I heard your friend here is the most famous gold digger in Jayrodale. Even managed to leech off Rhodes Corporation’s heiress and that busty Francesca chick.”
He continued, “If he’s got the skills to mooch off rich women, then surely dropping a few million on a night out is nothing, right?” a
