After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness

Norman arrested?

When Norman was in the police station, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up smoothly in front of The Grand Heavens, Valkoria’s most prestigious hotel.

Known for its unmatched luxury, it was a place where only the wealthiest elites could even think about reserving a room.

Tonight, however, Lana, her father Lucas, and her new boyfriend, Henry, were here to celebrate their recent success.

As they stepped out, Lana tightened her grip on Henry’s arm, proudly presenting him to her father. Henry, dressed impeccably in a custom-fitted suit, looked every bit the part of a wealthy young man from Capital City.

As they stepped into the lobby of The Grand Heavens, Mr. Divine, the hotel manager, approached them quickly, a wide smile breaking his typically stoic face.

“Mayor Lucas, Miss Lana,” he greeted warmly. “It’s a pleasure to welcome you here. We’ve made arrangements for you in our finest suite.”

Lana raised a brow, surprised. Divine had barely acknowledged her the last time she was here, and now he was practically rolling out the red carpet.

“The finest suite? Would there be a reservation for the emerald room?” Lana asked.

The Emerald room was the most expensive suite in Grand heavens. A single minute spent in the emerald room is equivalent to $10,000.

“If that is what you want, certainly it would be available, Miss Lana. And you don't have to pay for anything, along with the meals.” Divine said, maintaining the smile.

“What?” Lana was shocked.

Just last month, she had tried to book the room, but it was too expensive. She even tried to use her father's influence as the Mayor to request a discount but Divine dismissed her.

And now he was offering it to her for free?

Lana’s delight was palpable. "I can’t believe it! Mr. Divine must recognize the Havord name," she whispered to her father, casting a proud look at Henry, who nodded modestly, acting like he was used to such treatment.

“Follow me,” Divine said, leading them to the grand staircase that ascended to the upper suites.

As they reached the Emerald Room, Divine pushed open the doors, revealing an opulent space bathed in deep emerald greens and shimmering blacks.

A stunning chandelier sparkled above, casting a soft glow over the velvet furnishings and polished glass tables.

Lana’s face lit up, clearly thrilled. “This is incredible!” she exclaimed, taking in the grandeur around them.

She looked over at Henry, a satisfied smile curving her lips. “I knew I made the right decision, choosing you over that loser. Just imagine, the manager didn't charge us a dime, all because you were with us.”

Lucas clasped Henry’s shoulder proudly. "The Havord influence is something remarkable. I'm glad to know our families will be connected soon."

Henry, who doesn't know what was happening, also assumed it was because of him the manger decided to treat them nicely and compliment their meals. After all the Havords are very popular.

"Indeed," Henry replied, straightening. "And once I’m officially part of the family, I’ll ensure we bring Capital City’s business opportunities to Valkoria.”

“That's so nice of you, thank you for thinking about our city.”

Right after they settled down, the door was suddenly kicked open, as deputy Mayor Harris walked in, his expression unfriendly.

“Harris? What are you doing here?” Lucas was puzzled.

Harris looked directly at Lucas, his tone firm. "Mayor, I need an explanation. Why was Mr. Norman arrested?"

Lucas and Lana stared at each other in surprise, how did he find out so soon?

Lucas adjusted his shoulder and replied. “Norman was arrested for embezzlement and bribery!” He said firmly.

Harris snorted at the statement coming out from Lucas.

Being close to Norman for the past two years in his office, he had witnessed how genuine Norman was.

He had also joined Norman in a battle once, and witnessed how Norman defended Valkoria with his life.

Multiple times Norman had given out his own salary to orphanages, he'd shown no interest in wealth.

If there was one thing in the world that would be regarded as Impossible —it was Norman being accused of corruption.

“Mayor, how can you say such a thing? Do you have evidence to back up your accusations?” Harris demanded.

The room was quiet, he then shifted his gaze to Lana, “Miss Lana, you were the one who brought the police to his office and accused him of embezzlement. Can you show me your proof?”

“W-well…I —” Lana stammered, she clearly didn't have any evidence.
