My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 349
âHeâs the same age as me and has already managed to become the head of inspection for Universal Group, while Iâm just a receptionist at a hotel. How could there be such a huge gap?â the beautiful receptionist could not help but lament.
While she was lost in thought, several people dressed as bodyguards were carrying Hunter out. Leading them was a man in his 70s dressed in a formal suit. He was Karlos Sazza, the personal bodyguard of the head of the Hill family, Gaspard Hill. He was a great-grandmaster with the strength of a stage five.
At the same time, Weston, the lobby manager, was accompanied by a group of bodyguards as they rushed over. When he saw the trousers of the Hill familyâs heir dirtied with blood, his face turned pale with fear. âW-What happened?â
Karlosâ expression was ice-cold. âSomething happened Hunter at your hotel. How dare you ask what happened?â
Just ten minutes ago, Karlos received a furious call from the family head and immediately set out for Cloud Peak Palace Hotel to bring Hunter back. He did not have much affection for the man who did nothing all day, but when he saw Hunterâs miserable condition, he could not help but feel a hint of sympathy.
Hunterâs limbs were broken, and he had to use his jaw to make a phone call.
âSir, please calm down. Iâll find out what happened right away!â Weston said cautiously before going up to the front desk.
The Hill family was a second-tier family. If something had happened while Hunter was at Cloud Peak Palace Hotel, the Hill family would not let it slide without explanation
âTell Mr. Long what happened. Iâll take Hunter to the hospital first!â Karlos said. He was worried that
Hunter would die from excessive blood loss.
Cloud Peak Palace Hotel was an affiliated hotel of Universal Group, and their main investor was the Zell family. Their head was already in discussion with the Zell family, and the latter was certain to provide a satisfactory explanation for Hunter.
Weston arrived at the front desk, his face pale with anger. âWasnât Hunter Hill dining with Mr. Long? How did he end up in this state?â
Seeing the managerâs discontent expression, the beautiful receptionist named Lily was instantly nervous. She stammered, âI-I donât know either. I just started my shiftâ¦â
She was not lying. Cloud Peak Palace Hotel operated 24 hours a day with each shift lasting eight
hours. After starting her shift, she went upstairs to look around.
When she heard screams coming from private room number eight, she went to check it out. That was
when she happened to bump into Nash leaving the room with a woman.
Weston made another call to the surveillance room, and the staff quickly located the footage of a man entering private room number eight in a hurry. Those in the surveillance room then reported the
manâs movements to Weston.
âDid he book the presidential suite with you?â Weston asked the receptionist with furrowed brows.
âYes, he did,â Lily replied hesitantly. âHeâs also from Universal Group and is a SS-rank executive.â
âWhat?â Weston shuddered as he quickly checked the room records on the computer. When he saw Nashâs name, his heart skipped a beat. There was a head of inspection from Drakonia Universal Group?
âMr. Calcraft instructed us not to disclose his identity,â Lily added cautiously.
Weston was the lobby manager. While Lily was not to disclose the information, Weston still had the authority to check the identities of the hotelâs customers. She had felt it necessary to inform Weston of Mr. Calcraftâs instructions.
After a moment of bewilderment, Weston sneered. âThat damned Justin. He always acts high and mighty, but heâs kicked a hornetâs nest this time!â
Just as he said that, Justin and Queenie rushed into the lobby, followed by three burly bodyguards.
Weston immediately put on a smile. âMr. Long, Miss Grahamâ¦â
âWho dares lay their hands on my cousin?â Justinâs expression was dark. He had just started his week -long vacation and was planning to spend some quality time shopping with Queenie in the city center. However, he heard about what happened to Hunter right as they arrived.
How could a drugged woman who was barely conscious manage to harm Hunter?
