"It seems like Luke has been treating that piece of trash like a king. How could he let him stay at a five- star hotel..." Karen's voice sounded bitter as she instantly ordered people to capture him.
After what happened, she had someone investigate the man.
That guy had a decent education, but because of the Ruiz family, he had trouble building a life of his own as all he could get were low-paying jobs. After he got married, his wife even ran off with another man because of his dead-end job.
He led a miserable life. Like an ant on the ground, anyone could step all over him.
That was the same person who made her fall from grace!
After giving out orders, she quickly got out of bed and freshened up.
Did he think that she was the same woman she was before? No one could mess with her now!
Karen secretly swore that she would make his life a living hell and make him regret ever messing with her just because of money!
Hatred bloomed in her heart as she blamed every inconvenience in her life on that man.
She ordered her people to send him to a separate section of the Mallory Manor since Percy was not at the company.
When Karen was about to drive off, she saw Mr. Bennet standing in front of her. “Mrs. Mallory."
Karen's eyebrows twitched in disgust as she said, "Tell me when I come back."
"Old Master Mallory wants me to tell you this. It won't take much of your time." Mr. Bennet followed behind her. Old Master Mallory left early in the morning to take care of Pierre's situation, so he asked
Mr. Bennet to relay the message.
"He asked you to handle your situation as soon as possible. He doesn't want to see that topic trending anymore."
Karen rolled her eyes at him furiously.
She had been hearing the same thing every single day.
"I'm going to deal with it now. Tell Old Master Mallory that I already know where he is. I can't get rid of everything, but things will be different tomorrow. Also, please tell him that bastard, Luke Crawford, is behind this.
"I'm about to go get the evidence right now, and once I have it, I hope he'll lend his daughter-in-law a hand. Besides, the Crawford family is the one who humiliated the Mallory family."
"Yes." Mr. Bennet lowered his gaze after hearing what Karen said.
Then, Karen walked to the parking lot, picked a car, and left.
The butler shook his head as he watched Karen drive off, hoping that everything would be over soon as Old Master Mallory had reached his limit.
At Kingdo Hotel, Rain had her people leave in the morning, so only two people were left to keep an eye on the hotel. However, they were not there to protect Karen's former lover—Silas Gray.
They were there because Luke asked them to stay hidden in the next room and hotel lobby to watch what happens.
Silas had no idea he was in danger. He thought that he would be safe even if those protecting him were not there.
For the past few days, he had been anxious and worried that Karen would come to look for him, but there had been no sign of her until now. At this point, he had already calmed down, thinking that he was safe.
Even without extra protection around, he was calm. Not to mention, he felt even more at ease this way.
After asking the hotel to deliver a bottle of vintage wine, he sat on the balcony and looked at the skyscrapers of A City. He sipped on the wine while feeling the cool breeze from above, feeling very pleased.
If only he had a woman beside him. That would make things much better!
Silas was just imagining it as they had warned him to keep a low profile in case Karen found him.
He had gone many years without a woman, so he was used to it. He could survive without a woman.
Rain was staying in the next room, staring at Silas through the surveillance camera. She had yawned multiple times out of boredom, wondering when Karen's people would come.
Once she made sure Silas was taken away by Karen's people, she could go rest.
After a while, a subordinate sent a message. [Karen's people are at the hotel lobby, and they got a room on the same floor.]
Rain was immediately full of energy.
They had booked a room on the same floor because they did not want to disturb the hotel staff. Plus, elevators could only access the floor of their room cards at high-end hotels like this.
It seemed like they would be here in five minutes.
Rain looked at the time and at the monitor.
Sure enough, five minutes later, she saw Silas opening the door. Then, Rain immediately switched to watch the surveillance at the door and saw Silas being interrogated by two men.
After they confirmed they had the right person, one of the men stepped forward and twisted Silas' hand behind his back before taking him with them.
Rain clicked her tongue twice. She stood up and pressed her ear against the door because Silas was shouting like an animal.
"Who are you? Kidnapping is illegal. Let go of me!
"Let go of me." His voice got softer and softer. Rain stood up straight and waited for her subordinate to report that Silas had been put in the car before she opened the door.
Then, she walked into the next room and took down all the surveillance cameras before closing the door. After she got back to her room, she lay on the bed and reported to Luke, “Boss, Silas has been taken away by Karen's people. Our job here is done."
Their job was to keep an eye on Silas and make sure he would not escape when he was being taken away by Karen's people.
"Alright, thank you," Luke responded a few seconds later.
Then, Rain notified her subordinate downstairs, saying that the mission was accomplished and that there was nothing else left to do that day. Thus, he could take the day off. Afterward, she put her phone aside and began to fall asleep.
Her nights and days had been reversed during the mission, so as soon as the curtains were closed, she fell asleep.
On the other hand, when Silas was carried out of the hotel by Karen's people, he was going to ask the hotel staff for help. However, one of the men covered his mouth, stopping him from making any sound.
The hotel staff had noticed them in the hotel lobby, but when he was about to go question them, he noticed that the two fierce-looking men had tattoos on their arms.
He could tell that they were probably not people he should mess with, so he stopped in his tracks and averted his gaze. He pretended not to have noticed anything.
Then, Silas was pushed into a black car parked by the road.
Afterward, the hotel staff asked, "Manager, that customer seems to have been kidnapped. Do we need to call the police?"
"Do you think someone like him could afford to stay at our hotel?" the manager responded without looking up.
"No..." The staff shook his head as the guy's clothes were dirty the day he checked in. If he had not paid, they would have thought that he was a homeless man and kicked him out.
He made an impression on the staff as he was surprised the man could afford to stay at a place like that when he was wearing dirty clothes.
"That's right. If someone like that could afford to stay at our hotel, god knows where he must have gotten that money. Don't worry about those people.
"Perhaps those guys were sent here by their boss to get him. It's best that we don't get involved in these things," said the manager wisely as he shook his head.
