Riches in Disguise

Tiffany looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry for not believing you, Benjamin."

"All good, all good!"

Benjamin was flushed from the attention. He scratched his head, having no idea how to respond.

I laughed and helped him out by saying, "Alright, alright. You're all family. Why be so courteous with each other? Sit down and eat. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. Order whatever you want. The manager said that the hotel would be footing the bill."

Upon hearing this, the manager immediately looked over at me. I gave him a meaningful glance. He immediately understood what I meant and hurried forward.

"That's right! Mr. Carter's presence is an honor for us! We were going to offer the best service we could muster. Who knew that Dragonshade Society would show up and spook us? I offer a formal apology on behalf of all of us at the hotel. We also promise that everything you order today will be free. Have whatever you want!"

"That's amazing!"

Amy was delighted. She took the menu and began ordering.

The workers cleaned the scene while two other managers took their order.noveldrama

I said to Matthew, "Help me take care of the situation. I need to deal with the actors I hired."

Matthew frowned and said, "Don't shoulder this burden on your own, William. It's not like your family is really wealthy. Tell me how much you spent. We'll split it between us."

"There's no need for that. All these people are construction workers from a site managed by one of my relatives. They weren't on shift today, so they came over to help. I'll just treat them to a meal. Don't worry."

"Alright."

Then, I claimed that I had something to do to make my escape.

Before I left, all of them were getting along well with each other and conversing happily. I was sure

they would be even happine

the food and drinks were served.

I was relieved. When I left the hotel, I called Quintus.

"Have you completed the tasks I assigned?"

"Yes, Mr. White. I'm in the third car on your right."

"I'm heading over now."

To protect me covertly, Quintus seldom appeared in public. Even during these times, he waited for me in the car rather than getting out to receive me."

I didn't mind, and got into the car immediately.

The second did so, Quintus presented me with a huge surprise. The monitor in the car was playing surveillance footage. He handed me some earphones to hear the video.

"I've gotten people to hack into the surveillance system. We can switch between

each room. As to this hearing device, I snuck it onto Liana just now."

I looked at him with praise. "You're amazing to manage this!"

I immediately focused on listening to what Liana was saying and doing. It was a pity I could only hear rustling sounds and the honking of cars. Nothing else.

Quintus reminded me to look at the screen.

"He's the vice-leader of Dragonshade Society, and Jaxon's younger brother. He's

also Damian's father and Liana's husband, Arthur Wilde."

I looked at the monitor and felt like my eyes had been burnt. This man was obese and hideous!
