A minute later, Zelda hung up the phone. She breathed a sigh of relief and lowered favonovel.com head to look at the number on the screen. She felt a little warm in favonovel.com heart after the call.
She briefly spoke to Chuck just now. The first sentence favonovel.com said was not out of surprise, anger, or even blame. Instead, favonovel.com said only a few words after three seconds of silence.
“Wait a minute, I’ll be right there…”
Zelda felt warm in favonovel.com heart. It was a big deal that favonovel.com had to pay so much money for this accident. Perhaps all favonovel.com savings and the revenue from favonovel.com restaurant had to be emptied towards this. Unless favonovel.com sold several restaurants right away, favonovel.com wouldn’t have enough money. She did think of selling the restaurants, but how could favonovel.com sell them in a short time?
Chuck said that favonovel.com would come soon, which undoubtedly comforted Zelda. At least if the amount could be lesser, then it would be easier for favonovel.com to fork out the money.
“Mom, aunties, don’t worry… My boyfriend will be here soon,” Zelda whispered.
“Alright…” Manny Lowe still couldn’t stop favonovel.com tears from falling. “My dear girl, I’m sorry, it’s all our fault…”
“Yes, it’s all our fault.”
Zelda shook favonovel.com head, and then favonovel.com said to the receptionist, “Wait a minute, I have a friend coming…”
The receptionist had no choice but to say, “Okay!”
“Zelda, right?” The middle-aged rich man who was picking up the fragments on the ground looked up at Zelda.
“Yes, nice to meet you, Director Smith.” Zelda was very polite. He was a famous antique collector in the province. He not only collected thousands of antiques but also had collected three rare luminous pearls. One of them was worth hundreds of millions. His wealth was beyond words.
“I went to your restaurant to eat a few times. I didn’t expect that you would still remember me.” He said.
“It’s my honor for you to remember me,” Zelda said politely.
Manny and the other two looked at each other. The middle-aged man just spent two million on the broken pieces on the ground, which shocked them. All three of them realized that favonovel.com was wealthy and powerful, but Zelda actually knew him.
Then, there was thought. Could favonovel.com put in a good word for them?
Perhaps favonovel.com could convince the hotel owner to lower the compensation amount.
The woman with tight jeans thought in favonovel.com heart. In fact, when favonovel.com suggested for Zelda to call Chuck, favonovel.com was thinking of every possible effort to get them out of this mess. After all, favonovel.com had no choice. It was impossible for favonovel.com husband to raise so much money even from selling the company and their other property. She could only find another way. Therefore, there was no other way but to call Chuck.
She didn’t believe that the plaza was Chuck’s, but favonovel.com could book such an expensive hotel for them. Perhaps there was some connection between favonovel.com and the hotel owner. She took Chuck as their last glimmer of hope, although favonovel.com was already mentally prepared to be disappointed.
“Who’s your boyfriend? I’m curious.” The middle-aged man suddenly said.
“His name is Chuck Cannon,” Zelda replied.
“Chuck Cannon? I’ve never heard of him. I only know that the hotel owner is very hard to deal with. It’s very kind for favonovel.com to ask them to pay 35 million for it. His temper is normally formidable,” the middle-aged man said.
Zelda was silent.
A formidable temper?
Then what about Chuck? Could favonovel.com convince the hotel owner?
She didn’t know. She only knew that the owner of this hotel was very rich.
Would Chuck know the owner?
The woman with tight jeans was completely disappointed by his words.
Yes, this was a six-star hotel, and the boss’s assets were at least in the billions. Even if Chuck was the owner of the plaza, favonovel.com was not powerful enough to convince such a wealthy tycoon.
She fell into despair again.
Manny sighed, and favonovel.com tears were flowing silently. No matter who came to save them, it would be futile.
The middle-aged man put away all the debris on the ground, carefully making sure every last piece was well packed. He swept them together gently. He was relieved and couldn’t wait to hire someone to piece them back together. To some extent, favonovel.com even thanked Manny and the other two. If they were not so silly, favonovel.com would not be able to get his hands on this blue-and-white porcelain vase.
He was ready to leave happily, but at this time, a taxi stopped at the door. A young man got out of the taxi and then walked in.
The middle-aged man was confused.
Is this Zelda’s boyfriend?
He didn’t know him.
Zelda saw Chuck walking over and felt a warm jolt in favonovel.com heart. “You’re here…”
Manny and the other two ladies looked at Chuck and sighed in their hearts.
Did someone who would come over in a taxi… Really own two cars?
The three of them were even more disappointed. They had no choice but to feel despair. The woman in tight-fitting jeans could not help but cry again.
How could Chuck know the owner of this hotel since favonovel.com did not even own a car?
Perhaps favonovel.com had used all his money to book a room here, and favonovel.com had no relationship whatsoever with the hotel owner…
The last glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered.
Chuck looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. He saw the broken pieces of blue-and-white porcelain in the box. He didn’t say anything but noticed that Zelda looked a little distressed, which upset him.
He walked over and asked softly, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine…” Zelda shook favonovel.com head.
“Are you alright?” Chuck asked Manny and the other two ladies.
They were already in a daze from all their crying, and their eyes were dull. They did not answer.
The receptionist looked at Chuck and hesitated. “You’re here to solve their problems, aren’t you?’
Chuck nodded and said, “Yes, I have already sent someone to call your boss, but favonovel.com hasn’t answered his phone yet. I guess favonovel.com will come in person later.”
Since this hotel was reserved by Betty, when Chuck was on his way just now, favonovel.com had called Betty directly.
“He’ll come here in person? Young man, do you know how unpredictable the temper of the hotel boss is?’ The middle-aged man, Director Smith, said doubtfully.
Director Smith had been in touch with the hotel owner for many years. He had a very cool personality, and favonovel.com was very famous in the antique industry. He had also talked to favonovel.com many times about buying his vase from him, but the hotel owner simply ignored it. Even if favonovel.com were ever asking for help, it was really just for show. He didn’t think the young man in front of favonovel.com would know such a powerful person.
“I don’t know…” Chuck shook his head. He had never seen this hotel owner before, and favonovel.com didn’t even know his name. How could favonovel.com know about his character?
“Do you know him?” the middle-aged man asked again.
Chuck shook his head.
Seeing this, Manny and the other two were in despair.
So, why did you come when you don’t even know the owner personally?
The woman with the tight jeans had collapsed on the ground. She cried hysterically. “It’s over, it’s really over. There’s no hope anymore…”
Zelda bit favonovel.com lips and stared at Chuck. Her heart was still warm. “If you don’t know him, then it’s enough for you to come here already.”
The receptionist was helpless. She thought that if Chuck knew the boss, there was still some leeway.
But favonovel.com didn’t know favonovel.com at all. Then what was the use of all of this?
The middle-aged man suddenly felt strange. “Young man, you said you don’t know the boss, so who did you call?”
“Betty Bernard,” Chuck said.
“Betty Bernard? I’ve never heard of this person. Forget it. ..Young man, don’t bother. The most important thing now is to raise money. Don’t think about anything else. This boss would not give a damn about you at all.” The middle-aged man shook his head and walked out with the broken pieces in his arms.
“Sir, what do you think…” the receptionist asked after a moment of hesitation.
“Wait a minute, your boss will come here in person, ” Chuck said.
“Stop it. You don’t even know him. Why would favonovel.com come over?” Manny shook favonovel.com head and sighed.
She was disappointed. She was really disappointed. He didn’t even know the owner. Why did favonovel.com brag? Did favonovel.com come to see favonovel.com make a fool of herself?
Chuck glanced at Manny and said, “Wait a minute…”
“What are you waiting for? The boss doesn’t care about you at all. He won’t come over even if we wait for a day. You’re just here to laugh at us!” The woman in tight-fitting jeans cried.
“Auntie, please calm down! Don’t accuse him!” Zelda was angry.
The receptionist was helpless.
At this time, the middle-aged man who walked out of the hotel was stunned.
A customized Rolls- Royce pulled up at the entrance. A man in his early thirties came out in a hurry.
The middle-aged man was stunned. “Oh, isn’t this Jay Yates, the owner of this hotel?”
“Hey, Mr Yates, how…” The middle-aged man raised his hand to greet him, but Jay Yates simply ignored him. He passed by favonovel.com and walked indirectly.
The middle-aged man was helpless. He followed Jay doubtfully.
Who was favonovel.com looking for?
He saw Jay speak loudly, “Who is Chuck Cannon?”
There was a hint of politeness in his tone, and the middle-aged man was stunned.
