Chapter 9



“Mom, now I’m in a fierce team battle! …Watch out for those in the back! Hey Chesty, how many times have you died already, why are you more fragile even than glass?”

Cherry, who was sitting on the couch, scorned her teammates angrily, without even looking up.

Resigned, Nora walked over to open the door.

It wasn’t Justin outside, but a man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing a casual white suit and was leaning against the wall while playing a game on his cell phone. His deep-set eyes, which looked similar to Justin’s, were slightly upturned, and there was a bright, inoffensive feel to his facial features. He looked like a well-bred boy from a wealthy family.

Seeing the door open, Chester lowered his voice and said on the call with his game team, “Leader, I’m already dead anyway, so I’ll count you in for this round.”

After turning off the microphone, he raised his head and looked Nora up and down.

The woman was stunningly beautiful. Her eyes, originally docile and feline looking, were slightly narrowed, there was some fatigue and drowsiness in her expressionless face. Her voice was very low when she asked, “Is something wrong?”.

No wonder she dared to seduce Justin. He did, indeed, have impressive assets.

Chester said, “Miss Smith, I’d like to discuss something with you – can you move to the suite downstairs and leave the presidential suite?”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “Why?”

Chester offered her a check. “Let me remind you that this hotel belongs to the Hunts. According to the regulations, if the hotel cancels a reservation without cause, they will have to pay double damages for breach of contract. Here is a check for one million dollars.”

“…”

Nora stared at the check without saying anything.

Did she look very poor? Why was every one of them trying to make her leave with money?

Seeing that she wouldn’t budge, Chester threatened her, “If you don’t accept, I’ll have to hassle the guards to throw you out. I’m sure Miss Smith won’t want to take things to such a degree, will she?”.

How dare he threaten her?

Nora’s gaze turned cold. Then, she heard Chester continue. “Miss Smith, you have tried time and time again to seduce my older brother. I cut you some slack because it’s not easy to take care of a child. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be changing your room reservation.”

Trying again and again to seduce her brother?

Nora yawned and asked lazily, “I’m curious: How did I seduce him?”.

Chester replied angrily, “Didn’t you spend a large sum of money to stay next door precisely to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position? You’ve managed to fool Pete, but I’m not that stupid. I’ve checked you out; your fiancé broke off his engagement to you, and you even gave birth before you were married. What makes a woman like you think she’s worthy of pursuing my brother?”

Wow.

It turned out that one was guilty just for living next door.

Where did Justin get that sense of superiority?

Nora asked coldly, “So, no one is worthy of staying in this room?”

Chester was surprised by the sudden increase in the forcefulness of her aura. However, he said sarcastically, “Of course not. My brother has heard that Dr. Anti is staying at this hotel, and he will meet her very soon. I’m sure he will invite her to stay here. Only guests as distinguished as she is deserve to stay with my brother.”

Nora was puzzled.

Had her information been discovered?

She wasn’t afraid of Justin, but tangling with such a man would be a very troublesome affair.

Nora looked down and thought for a while. Then she took the check from Chester and said lightly, “Thank you. Get someone to help us with moving the room.”

Being too close was really troublesome.

Chester breathed a sigh of relief. “At least you still have some self-awareness.”

The presidential suite on the first floor wasn’t as good as these two first class ones, but it was more than enough for all three of them. More importantly, the room card assigned to guests staying downstairs did not allow access to this floor.

Thus, that woman would have no chance of coming into contact with Pete ever again, let alone Justin!

Why did she thank him, though?

A puzzled Chester returned to the room. He then reported his meritorious deed to Justin. He said, “You don’t have to thank me, Justin. With this, I’ve made up for my mistakes.”

Justin was sitting behind a large desk, both hands tapping rapidly on the keyboard. Without even looking up, she reprimanded him in a low voice. “What a busybody.”

Chester was puzzled.

Why did he detect a hint of discontent in those two words?

He slipped behind Justin and saw that the black computer screen was densely packed with several interlocking lines. Among them, a red dot was moving slowly.

It was Anti, the person Justin had been watching for half an hour.

With a solemn look, he was about to continue tracking his movements when the red dot suddenly blinked a couple of times and disappeared.

“…”

The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

A dumb Chester said, “You’ve lost her, Justin.”

Justin slowly raised his head, his dark eyes an uncomfortable sight. He said slowly, “I can see it just fine.”

Chester instantly fell silent.

Lawrence looked at Chester and mentally sighed. The Hunt Family situation was so complicated, and everyone there was an elite whose thoughts people could barely comprehend. How could they possibly have produced a simpleton like him?

He coughed and said, “Mr. Hunt, why are you suddenly disconnecting at this critical time?”.

Was there a traitor among them?

However, Justin was personally participating and had suddenly ambushed her this time. Only the three of them knew.

If it wasn’t because Anti had received breaking news, then… it could only be a coincidence.

🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙

The hotel was very efficient.

Half an hour later, Nora was already in the study of the new suite.

After successfully blocking an external attack, she called Solo. The other party spoke first. “Sorry. Mr. Hunt found a top-notch hacker from somewhere and found information about you from me. At the moment, he has only discovered that you are staying at the Finest Hotel. Your exact location has not been exposed.”

Nora gave a “Mm” and said, “Be careful next time.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Nora got up. When she passed the second bedroom and saw that Cherry was already asleep, she returned to the master bedroom.

After so much delay, she was already extremely sleepy.

Two minutes later, the door to the second bedroom suddenly opened.

Cherry’s head peeked out from inside. After checking that her mother was asleep, she carefully closed the door, took out her cell phone and logged into the game.

Chesty said, “You’re back at last, leader. What were you doing just now?”

Cherry curved her lips. “The idiot next door suddenly demanded that we switch rooms.”

“Heavens, what idiot is that, how dare they bully our leader, let him drown himself with a glass of water!”

Chester didn’t think much of the incident, even after cursing.

After all, one always encounters all kinds of strange neighbors when staying in a hotel.

He asked, “Didn’t you say yesterday that you had returned to California after living all this time overseas? I’ve come all the way to California to look for you. Where are you staying now? The first-class suite next door is empty. My treat.

In the end they didn’t find Anti, and it was empty anyway.

He took a sip of water from his glass.

Right away he heard ‘sweetcherry’ scolding him. “Get in position, Chesty. Even river monsters are better at getting into position than you.”

Only after scolding him did he reply, “I’m staying at the Finest Hotel.”

“Pft!”

Chester choked hard and began to cough violently. After recovering, he said excitedly, “I’m staying at the Finest Hotel, too. I’ll come to you.”

“Okay.”
