    Chapter 1499 I Am Guarding Your Room


    Timothy hummed in agreement. “We''ve been staying there for the past few days. The hotel seems


    pretty good.”


    Johnson uttered nosily, “You guys should consider changing your hotel. It''s not safe. We have a ruffian


    in our county who does all sorts of bad things because his uncle is a big shot in the county. His uncle is


    also the chief''s son-inw, so no one dares to mess with him... The owner of Ivory Hotel has a good


    rtionship with ke''s uncle. ke practically treats the hotel as if it''s his own.


    Johnson paused briefly before continuing, shaking his head, “You guys might not know about this, but


    ke once saw a pretty foreign girl from staying at a hotel, and he barged into her room and assaulted


    her. Since he had his uncle and the chief covering for him, he paid the girl some money and walked out


    of the police station after she left. I heard he was up to no good at the hotel against night. I''m not


    sure if someone called the cops, but there was a crowd gathered outside the hotel. Eventually, he was


    taken to the police station.”


    When Johnson finished his words, Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly.


    No wonder that piece of trash could find the room where my wife was staying. This hotel is practically a


    second home to him.


    Johnson sighed. “I reckon he''ll be released in no more than three days,” he said, ncing at Johanna.


    “Stay close to your wife. Don''t let her catch the attention of that ruffian. Calling the police won''t help if


    anything happens. In our small town, ordinary folks can neverpete with those in power—”


    “I doubt he can get out,” hissed Timothy. I''ll make sure that guy never gets out of the police station.


    While Timothy was working, he also asked about the tasks that ke was doing.


    People like Johnson had always lived in Zaidham, and the county was quite small. ke had done so


    much that he could not finish telling Timothy about it even until the afternoon.


    As dusk fell and they left ke''s house, Johanna asked Timothy, “Did hee into my roomst


    night?”


    She initially thought that Timothy was an early riser, but now it seemed that he had probably only


    returned after finishing work in the wee hours.


    “With me guarding your room, that piece of trash won''t dare to mess with you, even if he has the guts


    of a beast. But for your safety, it''s better if he stays in the police station,” said Timothy.


    “Shall we move to a different ce?”


    Timothy wrapped his arm around her slender waist and gently rubbed it. “This is the only high-end hotel


    in the county. The inns are too dirty; you wouldn''t befortable staying there. Don''t worry, the hotel


    staff has been reced, and I''ll be there to protect you at night. You''ll be fine.”


    Johanna removed his hand.


    In the next moment, Timothy wrapped his arms around her again, leaning half of his body against hers.


    “Jojo, I can''t walk. Can you help me?”


    When the two of them arrived at the small diner to eat, Timothy received a call from hiswyer.


    Thewyer, in coboration with Yannopolis'' police department, discovered that ke had been


    involved in numerous incidents and the murder of two lives. However, because his uncle was the son-


    inw of the police chief, all those matters were swept under the rug.


    Thewyer, along with the officials from Yannopolis'' police department, escorted ke to the local


    court for the trial of his case. The evidence was irrefutable, and ke was certain to be sentenced to


    death.


    Upon learning the news, Timothy finally felt at ease.


    Originally, Timothy had intended to let things slide after teaching ke and his gang a lesson at the


    restaurant that night. However, he had not expected them to abuse their power and act so arrogantly.


    They even dared to hit his wife with a motorcycle and tried to sneak into her room.


    ke was already implicated in a murder case. By having the Yannopolis police take action and bring


    him to justice, Timothy practically helped the county eliminate a rotten apple.


    After Timothy and Johanna returned to the hotel, the hotel manager personally came up to greet them.


    The manager was aware that ke had been arrested, and that the hotel owner had been taken to the


    police station for questioning. As a shareholder in the hotel, he was deeply afraid that the hotel would


    go under. So, despite it being the early hours, the manager was willing to do whatever Timothy


    instructed.


    The manager personally escorted an attendant to the room to help the two pack their luggage and then

    lead them to the best suite on the top floor.


    Johanna was going to give Asel a video call, so she asked Timothy to take a shower first.


    However, the bathroom door remained tightly shut even after she finished her video call. Johanna


    nced at the time on her phone and knocked on the door. “Timothy, don''t you usually take ten


    minutes to shower? Why haven''t youe out yet?”


    Worried that Timothy might have fainted fromck of oxygen because he did not turn on the bathroom''s


    venttion system, Johanna hurriedly opened the door to check on him.
