Lily had arrived at the Royal Champillon Hotel at seven in the evening. At that time, the taxi Lily was traveling in was worried because the car was stopped by security before it even reached the drop point in the front lobby. To be more precise, the security stopped Lily's taxi right at the entrance gate, making the taxi driver feel confused because there shouldn't have been any mistake he made."Sorry, sir. Tonight you cannot enter the Royal Champillon Hotel because it has been booked by someone," said the security to the taxi driver.The taxi driver turned his head back, as if asking for an explanation from Catherine and Lily."Madam, are you sure the place you are going to is the Royal Champillon Hotel?" the driver asked Catherine.Catherine Wilson was surprised because she also did not expect the Royal Champillon Hotel to be booked by someone. Her expression looked complicated when she was questioned by the taxi driver."One moment, can I call someone first?" Catherine asked the
The taxi driver glanced back at Lily and Catherine, observing them very closely. His curiosity getting the best of him, he then finally asked, "Madam, why didn't you just tell the security at the beginning that your group had fully booked the Royal Champillon Hotel? Well, you know, I'm worried we might be fined or something for entering the sterilized area without permission."The taxi driver's words only added to the confusion in Lily and Catherine's minds. Somehow, they found it difficult to believe that the one who had most likely booked the Royal Champillon Hotel was Zeke from Neo City, the man who claimed to be attracted to Lily after seeing her on television.As both of them were lost in their own thoughts, neither Lily nor Catherine had a chance to respond to the taxi driver's words."Mom, look at that..." Lily Wilson choked up as their taxi got closer to the lobby of the Royal Champillon Hotel. There was a Red Carpet that had been installed along the lobby door to the inner ar
Ting!Ting!Ting!Lily's hands were shaking violently as she felt her phone ringing notifications repeatedly. She wanted to open her phone but at the same time, she was terrified to see who had just sent her messages."Miss, can you take me to the toilet?" asked Lily to an employee of the Royal Champillon Hotel who accompanied her to the restaurant of the hotel.The female employee immediately looked down and nodded her head. "Of course, Miss Lily. I will escort you to the nearest toilet."Lily breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the nearest toilet. Meanwhile, Catherine was busy turning on her cell phone, taking pictures and videos of how wonderfully the Royal Champillon Hotel welcomed her.With the video, Catherine would be able to show off her good fortune to her social friends.Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"Ah, Zeke called me!" Catherine let out a stifled squeal. Immediately, she picked up the phone from the wealthy young man who had given her a lavish surprise that ni
As Henry read Lily's message, his heart skipped a beat. A young and wealthy man had now fully booked a luxury hotel for dinner with his wife?The wealthy man also knew very well that the woman he was approaching was a married woman!Henry felt a burning sensation in his chest. This was the first time Henry had ever felt jealous. Moreover, the person who was trying to get close to his wife turned out to be an extraordinary person who had an abundance of wealth.It was certainly not acceptable. Henry would come to the Royal Champillon Hotel soon to win back his wife's heart.However, Henry suddenly remembers something: if the young man named Zeke has the power to fully book the Royal Champillon Hotel, doesn't that imply that Zeke has a formidable background? Zeke is definitely not someone that one should cross.[Lily, can you tell me the full name of Zeke? I want to trace his background. Well, you don't have to worry about me, Lily. I will still come and make sure that I can bring my wi
Before proceeding to Chapter 85, you can read the following important points (I have summarized these notes because the novel has been on hiatus for quite some time): • Lily Wilson is going to be betrothed to Zeke, a wealthy young man from Neo City. • Previously, Zeke had visited Katherine Wilson's house and had asked for 'secret information' from Katherine. • Lily Wilson is convinced that Zeke is not sincere, and there is a hidden agenda behind his insistence on getting close to Lily. • Meanwhile, a few days before Lily's meeting with Zeke, Henry was invited to a closed meeting by Oliver Wood at Medium Café, the headquarters of the followers of 'The Great James' – Henry's ancestors. However, is Zeke's plan as simple as Lily suspects?
The sound of footsteps echoed quite loudly in Lily's ears. She had just walked out of the restroom. As her ears caught the sound of footsteps resonating from the hotel lobby, Lily's heart began to race. The Royal Champillon Hotel had closed its access to other visitors, so if there were approaching footsteps, they must belong to Zeke's entourage from the city of Neo.Lily's neck felt stiff as she forced her head to turn left. Indeed, Lily's eyes widened as she caught sight of the handsome young man striding on the red carpet, followed by dozens of men in black suits.The scene resembled a procession of a head of state being escorted by elite security forces. Even from a distance, Lily could sense the charismatic aura emanating from Zeke. It was certain that Henry would be reduced to a mere speck in Zeke's presence. At least, that's what was on Lily's mind at that moment."Miss Lily, the Young Master has arrived. You should return to the Private Dining Room," a hotel attendant addresse
"Yes, Young Master, her husband will come here. I hope tonight will be the last night he's considered Lily's husband," Catherine replied, taking over the question aimed at Lily.Zeke cleared his throat and loosened his tie. After offering a warm smile, he took a seat and continued, "Mrs. Wilson, your words have left Miss Lily dejected. Well, well, what can I do to make her smile?" Zeke asked with extraordinary warmth.The fear in Catherine's heart gradually faded after witnessing Zeke's warm smiles repeatedly.Catherine playfully suggested, "How about a sweet gift? Maybe my daughter will be entertained?"Zeke furrowed his brow and inquired, "A sweet gift? Like what? A house? A villa? A car? An apartment? Or perhaps all of them?" Zeke teased with a hearty laugh.Catherine almost felt her head spinning at Zeke's extravagant offers."I'm sorry, but I...""Shh..." Zeke interrupted Lily's sentence. He then nodded gently and said, "I know what you want to say, Miss Lily. For someone as spec
"If you believe you're so exceptional, then prove your dominance!" Zeke challenged once more. From the way he presented himself, one could infer that Zeke truly possessed powers surpassing Henry James. There was nothing amiss about Zeke's abundant self-confidence; he had every reason to take pride in himself."Save your arrogance for someone else. Whatever you possess, it'll all be in vain if you showcase it before me," Henry retorted, loosening his tie. Confronted with such a situation, Henry felt the necessity to exude a degree of self-assuredness. As a man determined to reclaim his beloved, Henry had to make an indelible impression on the individual attempting to take his loved one away.Meanwhile, Zeke was not at all daunted by the arrogance intentionally exuded by Henry. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Just prove your bullshit, expel me from this place."Upon hearing Zeke's challenge, Catherine felt an explosion of emotions in her mind. She flashed a wide grin and
