We are the officially invited guests of the Johnsons but we were lucky to get the bronze card.” a couple in the crowd said out aloud, shocking the other people, including me.People in the crowd started saying everything they knew about the card, and from what I was hearing, the silver card was lower than the platinum, which is the highest rank of passes to be given to someone in the Johnsons estate.Everyone knew what that meant.Immediate family to the Johnsons.
