    After stepping aside, Suri shot a resentful nce at Yvette, who hadn''t moved from her spot. I bet she doesn''t know Sano Ahikshake Shop''s background, but it''ll be perfect if she offends them now, she thought, her face contorting, with


    sigmised malices


    Notes was unmoved by Suri''s attempts at ttery. He then turned to Yvette, who was still in line. Assuming that she didn''t kaow them shop''s rules, he exined the situation to her again with utmost patience,


    Miss, our shop has a limited supply of ingredients each day, so we only sell fifty cups. We''re sold out before your spot in


    Perhaps you could step aside for a break and handle your situation with this youngdy, Nichs said.


    e onlookers were impressed by Sano Milkshake Shop''s standards-Nichs'' professional conduct served as perfect whertising for the shop.


    No one from the line had left. True to Clusians'' nature of enjoying a show, they all stayed to see how the police would handle the simation.


    At that moment, Wendy spoke up. "Sir, I have a VIP card from your shop. Could you sell two cups of your signature banana milkshake to me and Pretty Lady?"


    Nichs turned to Wendy with a professional smile and patiently exined, "I can''t do that, miss. Our fifty-cup limit is a rule set by the shop''s owner. There are no exceptions even for VIP card holders. I''m terribly sorry for that."


    At the end of his sentence, he paused and left one thing unsaid. James had made a single exception-the holder of the sole supreme VIP card could break this rule.


    Nichs saw no need to mention this since surely no one here had the sole supreme VIP card. If so, they would have already shown it to the shop''s staff rather than waiting in line with the other customers.


    Wendy looked disappointed but nodded without saying anything else. She then tilted her head to look at Yvette, sad that her hopes for treating Yvette to a milkshake were dashed.


    Yvette remained silent for a few seconds, then moved her hand in her pocket. The next moment, Nichs was dumbfounded. His eyes were fixated on the ck card in Yvette''s hand as if he was trying to bore holes through it.


    James had mentioned to Nichs before that he opened this milkshake shop solely to make his granddaughter happy. It was so that she didn''t have to drink milkshakes from other shops, which might contain additives detrimental to health.


    As such, James employed over ten food safety officers to research ingredients and a few nutritionists to formte various milkshake recipes.


    He''d gone to such lengths just because his granddaughter liked milkshakes, even creating a one-of-a-kind supreme star card made from aerospace materials for her. That card alone cost at least 30 thousand dors to produce.


    Mr. Owens did all this for one person. Seriously, he''s so thoughtful. Who else would open a milkshake shop just to pamper their granddaughter?'' Nichs thought, admiring James for the effort.


    In Yvette''s hand was a ck card featuring a unique ry design with the code 111. Her face remained expressionless as she pursed her lips and asked rather seriously, "Can this be used?"


    The crowd didn''t understand the card''s significance but were puzzled by Nichs'' loss ofposure.


    Suri let out a loud, contemptuousugh. "Who do you think you are? Demanding Sano Milkshake Shop to make an

    exception for you with some random card?"


    Others shared her sentiments. "Hasn''t the round-faced girl''s VIP card been rejected? What makes this pretty girl''s card different? they wondered.

    When Nichs heard Yvette''s question, he could no longer keep up his gentlemanly demeanor and promptly stepped forward. "Ms. Zeller, please follow me. We have a seat dedicated to you in the shop, and it''s reserved for you every day."


    His words struck the crowd like a bolt of lightning. With dumbfounded expressions, they silently watched the interaction between Nichs and Yvette. Suri''s reaction was a lot more drastic. She nearly screamed from a loss ofposure, the color draining from her face.


    ette casually nodded with her hands in her pockets. She then turned to the stunned Wendy and asked nonchntly, Come in if you''d like a milkshake."


    Wendy nodded dazedly. "I''d like a milkshake, Pretty Lady."


    At the sight of Wendy''s round cheeks, Yvette reached out and gave them a gentle pinch. "Let''s go, then."


    Wendy felt the touch on her face. ''Oh my gosh, she touched my cheeks! Pretty Lady''s hands are so soft and fragrant!'' she thought.


    Nichs, ever so perceptive, turned to Wendy. "Miss, as Ms. Zeller''s friend, you now have unlimited ess to our milkshakes. You no longer need to line up or pay for the milkshakes. I''ll have our staff register your details."


    Wendy jumped with excitement. She was a huge fan of Sano Milkshake Shop''s milkshakes, but having to wake up early to line up


    for a cup of milkshake each time was torture. ''I can finally sleep in now!'' she eximed inwardly.


    Still, Wendy felt that she couldn''t just ept free milkshakes. She thanked Yvette warmly first, then turned to Nichs and said politely, "Thank you, but I can''t have the milkshakes for free. My uncle told me not to take advantage of others.


    "Could I get a monthly subscription at the milkshake shop instead? I''ll make monthly payments. Is that okay?"


    Nichs'' first reaction was to look at Yvette. Only when he saw no objection from her did he reply to Wendy. "Sure, miss. We respect your decision. You can get a monthly subscription at Sano Milkshake Shop, but please ept our subscription discount, okay?"


    Wendy knew whose influence had earned her this privilege. Aware that further refusal would seem affected, she nodded gracefully. "Yes, yes. Thank you, sir."


    Nichs smiled before saying to Yvette and Wendy, "Ms. Zeller, miss, please follow me."


    Yvette gave a slight nod. "Mm."


    The crowd watched in amazement as Yvette and Wendy sauntered into Sano Milkshake Shop.


    All eyes turned to Suri, who stood frozen in shock. When she finally processed what had happened and met the various gazes, she felt utterly humiliated.


    Suri steeled herself and called out to Nichs. "Sir, your shop is the one who made the rules. How can you bend the rules over a single card? What about all of us who waited in line? As customers, we deserve an exnation.”


    Her words evoked various responses from the crowd.
