Chapter 198 The Truth is Out
Soon enough, the manager on duty rushed into the surveillance room.
âHello, Mr. Knight!â
Oliver didnât reply verbally but signalled with his eyes for him to take action.
The manager directed him. âQuick, pull up the surveillance from the terrace corridor.â
Finished
The captain of the security team paused for a moment.
the address Oliver so politely, he understood that this guy wasnât just anybody. After a thought, he promptly instructed his team to retrieve and display the surveillance footage.
In just a short while, the surveillance footage that couldnât be accessed before suddenly became available.
On the display screen, the scene from the terrace slowly emerged. It was clear as day. Declan had initially grabbed Graceâs hand, and even after she pulled away, he persistently pursued her and tried to hug her.
âOh! The truth out!â
âThatâs him, being all creepy and handsy. And when he got caught, he had the nerve to blame Ms. Parker.â
â
audacity!â
and her group, standing outside, also saw the footage on the monitor.
Vivian gritted her teeth, while Declanâs face turned red and then white. He tried to justify himself. âI was drunk earlier, so I didnât know what I was doing. It wasnât intentionalâ¦â
Vivianâs friends beside her looked troubled, unsure of how to react.
They had previously boasted about tarnishing Graceâs reputation.
Now that the truth revealed, they were left speechless.
Grace turned to look at Vivian. âVivian, it seems like you havenât been doing so well these past few years, huh? Hehe.ââ
Then, Grace swiftly took out her phone and called the police.
âIf you were drunk, then go explain it to the police. You attempted sexual assault and made false accusations. Iâm going to get to the bottom of this!â
Vivian felt utterly !
She couldnât bear to stay a moment longer turned to leave.
Declan hurried to catch up, and the others followed suit, leaving one by one.
With everything resolved smoothly. Grace felt a great sense of relief. She turned to Oliver and said, âWhy didnât you tell me earlier that you own Spring City Hotel?â
Oliver replied, âWell, youânever asked, did you?â

Grace retorted, âIf I didnât , couldnât you have mentioned it?â
Oliver conceded, âOkay, my .â
The two of them bantered back and forth in the surveillance room.
Nydia exchanged a glance with Hazel, then quietly walked out of the room with Violeta.

They reached the ground floor.
Violeta glanced at the time.
âItâs getting late. I should leave.â
Nydia , âYep, Iâve had my fill too. Letâs just sit back watch Vivian and her husbandâs reputation get tarnished tomorrow!â
Violeta grinned. âToday was really satisfying. I actually planning to call my brother to come and check out the surveillance.â
Hazel chimed in, âYeah, none of us expected Oliver to be the boss. But do you think MS. Parker and him are a good match?â
Nydia laughed. âHaha, if the teacher knew we were talking about this her back, sheâd be mad.â
Violeta said, âIâll head off first. Let Ms. Parker know later. The rematch is coming up soon, and I need to train these next couple of days.â
âOkay, Vio, you go ahead.â
Violeta left the hotel.
The two trucks parked outside had already driven away, but the scent of perfumed roses seemed to linger in the air, refreshing and delightful.
Violeta stood under the bus stop sign, the sunlight casting long shadows.
She was about to call the driver at home to come pick her up.
But before she could even dial the number, she heard the sound of several motorcycles in the distance.
âViolâ
Violeta looked up and saw four people speeding towards her on motorcycles.
Motorcycles?
Violeta glanced at the highâend motorcycles they were riding and immediately recognised their topânotch quality.
While it wasnât surprising to see others riding motorcycles, seeing Hayden on one did catch her slightly off guard.

Finished
But then again, it wasnât that unusual for guys to enjoy motorcycles, especially if they had the money for it.
âWhy are you guys here?â
Zoren took off his helmet. âWeâre here to watch the show. Looks like we missed it, huh? We arrived late.â
âYeah, you guys are late.â
Jasper caught a whiff of a faint rose scent in the street. âWhy is there still a smell of roses here?â
Violeta replied calmly, âEarlier, there were two big trucks filled with perfume roses parked here for about
an hour or so.
Hayden asked, âAre you heading back now?â
Violeta nodded. âYeah, I was thinking of sending you guys a message when I got back.â
Liam suggested, âNow that weâre already out, why donât we have some fun?â
Zoren said, âYeah, letâs enjoy ourselves for a bit.â
Violeta, hands in pockets, asked with interest, âWhat do you have in mind?â
Zoren chuckled. âHow about we take you for a ride?â
Violeta raised an eyebrow. âTaking me for a ride? You know racing is prohibited in the city, right? You guys planning to make headlines tomorrow?â
There were clear rules in the city, with speed limits, and even if you had money, you couldnât just do as you please. Plus, Hayden had a special status, making it even more impossible for him to act recklessly.
âTo Moon Bay.â
