Chapter 511: Edmund & Son- Leon
Leon’s jaw tightened, but he had no reply.Inside the car, Edmund’s voice dropped, slower now, heavier.“While I was on my way here after your call,” he said, “I received a call.”Leon frowned. “A call from who?”Edmund exhaled quietly.“From a billionaire,” he said. “From his mother.”Leon scoffed instinctively. “Dad, you’re also a billionaire. Why would another billionaire—”Edmund turned sharply to him.“There are billionaires,” he said calmly, “and there are billionaires.”Leon went silent.“I am not on that level,” Edmund continued. “And you know it.”He paused, then said the name slowly:“Evelyn Hayes.”Leon’s throat tightened.“That woman,” Edmund went on, “is considered a goddess of wealth and power. People whisper her name in boardrooms. Some say she operates on the same level as the Saudi royal families or the Rothschild.”Leon gulped.“She’s so wealthy,” Edmund said quietly, “that if she decided to buy a country—and was serious about it—she could. Some nations’ GDP wouldn’t
Chapter 510: Benjamin Buys The Hotel
Upstairs, inside the hotel room, the girlfriend paced nervously while the young man sat on the edge of the bed, jaw tight, eyes dark with humiliation.“Leon, please,” she said softly, moving closer. “Don’t be annoyed.”He didn’t respond.She touched his arm gently. “Your dad might have just been in a bad mood,” she continued, trying to soothe him. “You know how he is sometimes. He probably didn’t mean to embarrass you like that.”Leon clenched his fists. “A bad mood?” he muttered bitterly. “He slapped me. In front of everyone.”She sat beside him, forcing a small smile. “It’ll pass. He always cools down. Tomorrow, this will all feel smaller.”She leaned closer to him, her tone softening.“Leon…” she said again, brushing her lips lightly against his cheek. “Don’t let it get to you.”He turned his head slightly, still tense, and she took the chance. She kissed him gently, slower this time, lingering just long enough to distract him from his thoughts.“Why don’t I go take a steamy shower
Chapter 509: Owner of Hotel Arrives
The older man stopped in front of him, his sharp eyes briefly scanning his son’s face, then the surrounding area—the scattered crowd, the broken glass still visible deeper inside, the uneasy staff.“What’s going on here?” he asked, his voice calm but heavy with authority.The son gestured back toward the dining area. “I’ll show you,” he said quickly. “Some people are causing trouble.”The young man walked alongside his father, his voice rising as he spoke, anger mixed with exaggeration.“Dad, that guy over there,” he said, pointing toward Benjamin, “he came in here causing trouble. He insulted my fiancée, broke expensive wine bottles, and then started acting like he owns the place.”He shook his head, scoffing. “He even hit me—for no reason. And when I tried to handle it calmly, he started bragging, saying he wanted to buy the entire hotel. Like it’s some kind of joke.”He added quickly, layering the story with more heat, “He’s been rude to the staff too, and he’s refusing to apologiz
Chapter 508: Benjamin Offers To Buy Hotel
He leaned forward slightly, studying Benjamin’s face, trying to find the crack—the bluff.“You?” he asked. “You want to buy my hotel?”The lady laughed too, stepping closer to her fiancé, clearly enjoying the attention.“Did you hear him?” she said loudly, looking around the room. “He wants to buy this place.”She waved her hand around dramatically. “Do you even know what’s in here? The restaurant alone pulls insane revenue. There’s the private dining wing, the event halls, the suites upstairs, the brand value, everything.”She scoffed and crossed her arms. “This hotel is worth tens of millions. Even more, depending on valuation.”She looked Benjamin up and down with open contempt. “You couldn’t even buy the parking lot here, not to talk of the whole place.”A few people nearby nodded unconsciously, others whispered.“Yeah, that’s crazy…”“He’s just bluffing.”“No one says that so casually.”The lady leaned closer, lowering her voice mockingly. “So please,” she said, smiling cruelly,
Chapter 507: Clash At Restaurant
The woman turned dramatically and pointed. “Those two,” she said. “They bullied me and broke the wines I was bringing. They were rude to me.”The young man’s expression hardened slightly as he followed her gaze.The young man’s face darkened as he stepped closer, his voice rising.“Do you even know the prices of those wines?” he shouted. “Do you know what you just broke? That’s not something you casually replace.”Benjamin raised a hand slightly, calm. “Hey. It was an accident. They bumped into each other.”He glanced at the broken bottles, then back at the man. “You know what—forget the argument. I’ll pay for the wines. As a matter of fact, I’ll pay double for them. Are we good?”The man laughed sharply, full of contempt.“Fuck off,” he snapped. “Did I tell you I need money? You think you’re richer than me?”Before Benjamin could say another word, the man shoved him in the chest.Cordelia instinctively reached for Benjamin, eyes wide. Benjamin steadied himself easily, his expression
Chapter 506: Problem At The Restaurant
It was a woman.She was dressed expensively, hair perfectly styled, makeup flawless, the kind of person who carried herself like the room should part for her. She looked down at the broken bottles, then snapped her head up at Cordelia, eyes sharp with anger.“Are you blind?” the woman snapped loudly. “Do you know how expensive that wine was?”Cordelia steadied herself, still holding the water bottles. “Actually,” she said calmly, “you bumped into me. You were focused on your phone.”She glanced at the shattered glass, then back at the woman. “But I’m sorry. I’ll pay for it.”That only seemed to make it worse.The woman scoffed. “Pay for it?” she hissed. “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”Before Cordelia could react, the woman’s face twisted with rage. She stepped forward aggressively and shoved Cordelia hard.“Don’t talk back to me!” she shouted.Cordelia stumbled, nearly dropping the water bottles. Gasps rose from nearby tables as the woman lunged again, grabbing at Cordel
