    Chapter 226


    The lobby manager’s servile attitude puzzled everyone.


    Daken and Avril exchanged nces. They knew Bonnie had an extraordinary rtionship with


    Hamish and Tang Fusion Studios. However, they did not understand her rtionship with Jade


    Horizon Hotel.


    Considering the lobby manager’s demeanor, he seemed to hold Bonnie in high regard.


    Although Bonnie received strange nces from the crowd, she did not bother exining herself.


    Instead, she said, “We arrived first. Who do you think the private room should go to?”


    “You, of course. Please, the private room is this way, miss.” The manager realized he had


    inadvertently offended Bonnie earlier. Now, he bent over backward to please her.


    Meanwhile, Dermot’s expression darkened as he stopped the manager, saying, “Robert, shouldn’t


    you give me the private room instead?”


    The manager knew Bonnie and Dermot’s family were at odds, so his attitude toward Dermot turned


    sour. “Mr. Dermot, you’re a prominent figure. How could you stoop so low and try iming someone

    else’s room?


    “I must’ve been blind to be so friendly toward you before. From today onward, I want no further


    dealings with you.”


    Dermot trembled. “Robert, what’s gotten into you?”


    “That’s enough, Mr. Dermot. Please take care,” the manager said indifferently.


    Dermot’s expression turned grim. He wanted to leave with his family, but he would feel even more


    embarrassed if he did.


    “What, he’s just a lobby manager, isn’t he? How dare he speak to you like that, Dad. How he spoke


    would make others think his family owned Jade Horizon Hotel,” Brittany said despite herself.


    Dermot rxed when he heard that.


    ‘Yeah, he’s just a lobby manager, and I own a publicly listedpany.‘ It’s all about showing respect


    if I can be on good terms with the hotel owner.‘


    “Robert has overstepped his boundaries!” Dermot decided to get close to the hotel’s higher–ups and


    make the lobby manager regret his actions.


    Ultimately, Bonnie did not go to the private room because they felt the spacious ambiance was


    better in the lobby. As Bonnie and the others took their seats, Dermot and Brittany took theirs.


    Coincidentally, there were only these two neighboring tables remaining in the lobby.


    “What a mood killer.” Avril felt annoyed seeing Brittany’s family.


    Brittany red at Avril and the others.


    “I’ve had it with them.” Avril wanted to roll up her sleeves.

    “Don’t mind them. Let’s focus on our meal and let them focus on theirs.” Bonnie handed the menu to


    Daken, who appreciated Bonnie more and more.


    ‘Bonnie knows how to respect her elders. She’s nothing like the rumors state. She’s impable in


    my

    eyes. I thought my daughter was sensible, but Bonnie’s even more so. She considers things more


    thoroughly, and she’s talented.‘


    “Hey, Bonnie, I need to ask you something.” Avril poked Bonnie’s arm, looking curious. “How do you


    know the lobby manager?”


    Daken was just as curious. While pretending to read through the menu, he listened intently to


    Bonnie’s answer.
