Roland and Diana genuinely thought they had misheard him.For a moment, the living room became completely silent as both of them stared at Kade in disbelief.Then Diana exploded.“What did you just say?”Her voice rose several octaves.Kade remained completely calm. “I said if you want to come with us, ask nicely.”Diana nearly choked from anger.“Have you lost your mind?” she snapped. “How dare you ask me, a member of the Voss family, to beg you for an invitation card? An ex-convict like you?”Roland’s face darkened as well.“Kade, don’t push your luck. Just because you somehow got your hands on a gala invitation doesn’t mean you’ve become someone important. It’s just an ordinary invitation card, that anyone can get.”Kade shrugged casually.“Alright.”His answer was so simple that it caught them off guard.“Since it’s just an ordinary invitation card, you can simply get your own.”The words struck harder than any insult.Before either of them could respond, Kade turned toward Elara.
