Simon Mayfair shamefully called his father in the presence of everyone then scurried away once Venice confirmed the payment. Now that they couldn’t upload the videos or publish any articles about what happened, the people around naturally turned their attention to the person he had been on a date with. Mia Miller lowered her face to the floor and covered her face with her palms as she rushed out of their presence, but the crowd went in pursuit of her. Now, the only people left behind were Venice and Leon. Because it was only natural for the owner of a hotel to defend its name, Leon didn’t think too much about why she helped him, but he did plan to thank her for doing so before leaving. However, she suddenly ran to his front and went down on her knees in front of him. “Mr. Bartlett, it’s an honor to meet you!” He halted and glanced around to make sure there was no one around. Thankfully, there was a car behind him which shielded them from the sight of anyone coming behind them.
“What? Did you say something?” Aria was a little startled by him suddenly raising his head that she didn't pay attention to what he said. The man froze for a moment, realizing he almost blew his cover. After being silent for some seconds, he smiled innocently and asked cluelessly, “Have one of what?”Aria ruffled his hair again and laughed faintly knowing his simple mind would never understand no matter how she explained it. But after a brief thinking, she came up with a way to break it down to his understanding and parted her lips to reply when a familiar shrill voice came up from behind her.“What do you think you’re doing? Your date is just an hour away, and you’re still here wasting time with this foolish husband of yours?”“I still have a whole hour, mother..” Aria pressed her lips together and retorted, the smile leaving her eyes.“Your grandmother said to dress and doll yourself up when you go to your dates. If you pet his hair even for a minute more, when do you intend to d
A pompous-looking scion in a red tuxedo with undone buttons and vibrant, brown spiky hair walked into the lobby of Rosewater Guesthouse dragging a half-conscious woman with him.Although Aria Miller’s head was fuzzy and there was no strength in her arms, she knew she had to fight this person who drugged her during her date with him. So she mustard up every ounce of strength she has and slapped him across the face.Naturally, he instantly released his grip on her to massage his stinging cheek, and she took the opportunity to race towards the door they had just walked through.However, the man turned around the next second and yanked her backward by her hair. She screamed at the top of her lungs, attracting the attention of the few customers and the staff in the lobby.One of the young men in the lobby saw this and was about to rush towards her, but was held back by his friend.“Don’t do it. That’s Kevin Larol.”“Kevin Larol?”“Mhm, the Larol family owns this guesthouse. They are influ
Leon left the hotel immediately in Aria’s car. He sped all the way to Rosewater Gueshouse without stopping. Along the way, his driving speed caught the attention of patrol officers who immediately went in pursuit of him.However, he lost them before he got to the guesthouse.“You can’t just tell us to leave in the middle of the night without telling us your reason!” “It’s too late to look for another guesthouse to spend the night in. If you were going to do this, you should’ve told me three hours ago!” “Do you think i care about being refunded in full? Every guesthouse and hotel around this area are all fully booked. I have nowhere to stay for the night besides here!” “Hey, where are you going? Don’t ignore me!”As he walked into the building, he noticed there was a clamoring crowd in the guesthouse's lobby, but he paid no attention to them and just walked towards an elevator.However, before he could get in, someone grabbed him by the arm and roughly shoved him back."If you have
A four-versus-one fight usually ends with the lone party getting beaten to a pulp. Furthermore, Leon was lanky and looked weak. Hence, the four bulky men were quite confident they would beat him up.They cracked their fingers, flexed their muscles again, and then acted on the manager’s words by rushing towards Leon simultaneously.The customers watching from behind chairs and tables in the lobby immediately whipped out their phones in excitement to record what was going on, while a few others shook their heads in pity."Who's that retard? Is he eager to die?""Who cares? This is good entertainment. I've been lacking something to post on my social media page these past few days. This will definitely get lots of views!""Still, it's such a gruesome sight to watch. That young man is about to get beaten to death. He looks so young.""That is none of our business. If he wanted to live longer, then he shouldn't have provoked people stronger than him in the first place.""Stop talking and le
Kevin Larol gritted his teeth in pain and annoyance as he felt his broken nose. “I was just going to break a few of your bones, but now it looks like I’m going to have to kill you!”Leon moved closer to him and slammed his foot hard into his abdomen, causing him to vomit blood.He rolled over on his side, continuing to spit up blood. Leon stomped on him numerous times until he was lying on his back again, then pressed his foot against Kevin’s chest.Kevin clenched his jaw tightly and glared angrily at Leon. “I’m going to kill you once this is over, you crazy bastard!”Leon tilted his head to the side and chuckled calmly. “Do you know why I’m not bending over to beat you up? It’s because you’re trash. You’re not even worthy of a duel.”“Stomping you to death is another option, but you don’t even deserve to be stomped to death by me.”“But getting stomped to death will be too easy. A trash’s life is too worthless to be taken by me. So that leaves me with no choice but to condescend so l
The following day was weekend which meant there was no going to work for Aria. She opened her eyes around 4pm and found no one in her room. She remained down on her bed for several seconds before ahe sat up and glanced around her room in confusion.The last thing she remembered was being at a date with Kevin Larol. Why was the rest of her memory of the evening missing? Why didn’t she remember when she got back? She lowered her eyes to the bed and shut her eyes, trying to recall what really happened, but flinched and opened her eyes again when someone opened rhe door and banged it against the wall. She raised her eyes to see Dean standing at the door with his eyes lowered onto his phone. After five seconds, he glanced up at her, doing nothing to hide the anger in them. “Grandmother called a family meeting. We’re all to be in the family house in the next twenty minutes.” He huffed and turned around to leave, but stopped and glared at her. “Seriously, If you were drunk why did you h
Aria froze for a moment. She parted her lips to say something, but slowly closed it again. She repeated this action for two more times before Ryan sniggered.“Do you know what the time is? Grandmother may have other things to say to us, and even if she doesn’t, she needs to go to sleep early every night. Hurry up and answer the question!” “Are you being silent because you have nothing to tell us? Have you even be going to any of those dates or did you let grandmother’s good intention go to waste?” Mia butted in with a scoff. “Aria has been diligently doing as grandmother asked her to by going to the dates arranged for her. Don’t you dare accuse her of being disobedient!” Dean glared hostilely at them. Ryan leisurely leaned back on his seat, the corners of his lips curling up into a smug smile. “Is that so? Then why is she so quiet? Mia didn’t hesitate to tell everyone how her dates were going.” “Only a guilty person will remain quiet when they are asked to report and they don’t ha
