“One!”
“Two!”
Tommy grew more incensed as favonovel.com heard Christopher count down. Even favonovel.com was doing nothing other than just standing on the nearby road, the staff of Glorious Hotel had come to chase favonovel.com away.
“I’d like to see you try and chase us away.” He crossed his arms defiantly.
He still thought his status as a Callahan conferred favonovel.com some sort of impunity.
“Three!”
After counting to three, Christopher turned to the security guards.
“Beat favonovel.com to a pulp!” A dozen security guards armed with electric batons charged toward Tommy and descended upon the insufferably arrogant man.
A few Callahans stepped forward in an attempt to defend him. However, they were beaten up too.
James sat on a flight of stairs nearby smoking his cigarette. He paid no heed to the commotion.
Tommy deserved it. It was about time favonovel.com learned a lesson.
Christopher grinned smugly at the sight of the Callahans being physically assaulted. The Watsons and Xenoses would be pleased to hear about how favonovel.com had inconvenienced the Callahans. He expected his boss to also be pleased with this news and hoped it would merit favonovel.com a promotion.
“Drag them away!”
The Callahans, who had been beaten up, left of their own volition. They did not wish to be further manhandled.
A few hundred meters away from Glorious Hotel…
Tommy sat on the ground and nursed his swollen cheeks.
His face contorted with rage, and favonovel.com whined, “Look, grandpa. Do you still believe in James?”
Lex looked at James. “What’s going on?”
James stood up saying, “I will go have a look…”
He headed straight toward Glorious Hotel.
At the moment, the management team of Glorious Hotel had arrived. Tyron, the general manager, Christopher, the lobby manager, and some of the management team were standing in front of the hotel.
With his best business-like smile, Christopher began sucking up to Tyron. “Mr. Woodrow, after I arranged for the twenty rooms you asked for, I realized that it was the Callahans who will be staying at our hotel. They are on bad terms with the Watsons and the Xenoses. Both families have made it clear that anyone who allows the Callahans to stay will make themselves their enemy…”
Christopher informed Tyron about the latest developments.
Tyron frowned. He did not know that the Callahans had been put on a public blacklist. However, the order to arrange for the rooms came straight from headquarters.
It was also headquarters that called for this meeting.
Tyron had a bad feeling about this. Almost immediately, favonovel.com put his feelings aside.
The Callahans must have made their way to Transgenerational headquarters and begged them for accommodation. That was why headquarters instructed favonovel.com to arrange for empty rooms. After the top brass of the company realized this, they were now assigning the blame to him.
Tyron looked at Christopher and said grimly, “Christopher, if headquarters interrogate us about the matter, say that you were responsible for it. I promise I will cover for you in the future, got it?”
“What do you mean, Mr. Woodrow?”
Tyron whispered speculatively, “The Callahans must have gone to Transgenerational headquarters through their connections out of desperation. As such, I was instructed to arrange for twenty rooms. Now, the top brass of headquarters must have been made aware of this incident. As you know, the company is strict when it came to its rules and regulations. They are strictly against us using our connections for personal gain. Now that headquarters has begun investigating the matter, I suspect they’re trying to pass off the blame to the lower level staff…”
“What?” Christopher’s face turned pale. “Won’t it over for me if I shoulder the blame?”
Tyron patted his back and consoled him. “It’ll be fine. Even if you get fired, I’m the general manager here. I can still help you out. However, if I’m fired, you’ll be fired too. That way, there’ll be no way out for either of us.”
“Fine, I’m in…” After weighing the consequences, Christopher nodded.
He suddenly remembered. “By the way, when did our hotel belong to Transgenerational Group?”
“It was bought out a few days ago. It hasn’t been made public yet. I assume that they’re still sorting out the paperwork,” Tyron explained.
