Roscoe ended the call without another word.
He didnât delete the call history.
He wouldnât deceive Nicole.
He planned to own up to what he had done.
After a brief pause, Roscoe made another call.
Once connected, he said, âLeroy, Iâm at the Hilpton and want no disturbances.
â
With his instructions given, he stared into the night, his gaze turning icy.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Alec, looking worn out, came to report, âMr.
Schultz, the Hilptonâs staff say they canât share any guest details.
â
Schultz, feeling a storm within and his eyes cold, Jarrod commanded, âBy morning, I want the paperwork ready to take over the Hilpton.
â
Upon Jarrodâs instruction, Alec immediately got in touch with the manager of Hilpton.
To his astonishment, the manager outright refused to see him.

Alec started by proposing to purchase the Hilpton at twice its current market value.
Yet, the manager was not interested, ridiculously stating the hotel was a family treasure handed down since his great-grandfatherâs time and so forth.
Alec was left scratching his head.

With no other options, Alec raised his offer to three times the value, catching the managerâs attention but still getting turned down.

It seemed like the manager was keeping secrets.
Left with no alternatives, Alec consulted Jarrod again, who responded with just two words after hearing the situation, âFive times!â
Alec was stunned.

What sort of agreement was this, practically throwing money away?
Yet, Alec understood if he didnât seal the deal, Jarrod might go as far as to propose ten times the price.
Alec resorted to every strategy he knew, from charm to dogged determination.
In the end, the vast financial offer made the manager cave.
Gone were the mentions of family heirlooms.
Although the manager claimed to agree reluctantly, his face betrayed his true feelings with a broad grin.
Clutching the acquisition contract he had fought so hard for, Alec felt the deal was anything but a lucrative one.
