"Brynn, what nonsense are you talking about?" Vivian's face turned red with embarrassment, her heart pounding as she pretended to hit her daughter for speaking out of turn."Daddy, Daddy, save me! Mommy's going to hit me..." The little girl quickly hid in Campbell Watson's arms, shouting loudly.Ahem...Even Campbell, with his usually thick skin, couldn't help but feel a wave of awkwardness."Mr. Campbell, I'm really sorry. My daughter has a habit of saying whatever comes to her mind. Please don't take it to heart." Vivian was even more embarrassed now, her pretty face turning as red as a tomato, too shy to meet Campbell's eyes."It's okay, it's okay. Kids say the darndest things, haha... How could I be mad at such a cute little girl? Besides, I'm flattered that she likes me," Campbell laughed heartily, trying to cover up his own embarrassment."I'm not talking nonsense..." Brynn poked her little head out from Campbell's arms, pouting and looking mischievous. "You grown-ups are so sil

"Call the police? Vivian, go ahead and try. I'd love to see if they actually help you," Hanson sneered, his face full of disdain.The Ortiz family had been operating in East Sea City for years, with connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. This was a family matter, and even if Vivian called the police, they wouldn't get involved."You..." Vivian glared at him, her teeth clenched, her face icy. She looked at her now completely unfamiliar cousins, trying to suppress her anger. "What exactly do you want?""Cousin, today is the fourth day. Have you forgotten?" A young man with glasses, who looked scholarly, stepped forward slowly. He smiled at Vivian, his eyes full of menace, like a predator eyeing its prey.He was Raul, the eldest of the younger generation in the Ortiz family, and the eldest son of Humphrey, the current head of the Ortiz family and Hanson's older brother.Vivian's expression grew even colder. She interrupted him directly, "I will never agree to you

The young man who suddenly intervened was none other than Campbell Watson.He flashed a mischievous smile at Vivian and said, "I knew a beautiful lady needed me, so here I am."Vivian blushed, unable to meet Campbell's intense gaze. She looked flustered, her shy demeanor making it obvious to anyone that there was something going on between them.Nathan's already dark face grew even darker, his eyes filled with rage.Vivian was his forbidden treasure!Once, an employee had joked about Vivian behind his back and ended up severely beaten. Now, seeing these two flirt openly, how could he not be furious?"Get lost, you piece of trash!" Nathan roared.Hanson, unable to break free, was enraged and aimed a vicious kick at Campbell's groin.Crack!The sound of a bone breaking."Ah!" Hanson let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, collapsing to his knees involuntarily, his face pale and twisted in pain.Campbell had broken his wrist with a single squeeze."Ha, you dare lay a hand on me? Y

"You... Fine, in that case, I hereby announce, Nathan, you're fired. The matters of Elegant Harmony Hotel have nothing to do with you anymore," Vivian said, gritting her teeth as she directly fired Nathan.Nathan was skilled and backed by the top martial arts school in East Sea City. With him around, Elegant Harmony Hotel had always been safe. Even though he was a plant by her uncle, Vivian had never considered firing him lightly.But now, to protect Campbell Watson, she had no choice.Nathan was stunned for a moment, doubting if he had heard correctly. He asked, "What did you just say? Fire me?""Yes, that's right. From now on, you are no longer the head of security at Elegant Harmony Hotel," Vivian said firmly, having made up her mind."Hahaha... Fine, fine, fine," Nathan suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, pointing at Vivian and repeating the word "fine" three times."You would fire me for this piece of trash? Vivian, without me, your Elegant Harmony Hotel won't last," Nathan sa

The Ortiz family's harassment had temporarily subsided, and Nathan had been fired. This was a temporary relief for Vivian, but it also brought new challenges.Since the Ortiz family had already shown their true colors, they were unlikely to stop now. This was just a small test from them.Nathan's departure significantly weakened the hotel's security, lowering its safety. They urgently needed to recruit experts to maintain order."Aisha, get someone to clean up the lobby. Everyone else, return to your posts and reassure the guests... Campbell Watson, please follow me to the office."Vivian felt anxious inside but maintained a calm exterior as she instructed her staff to handle the aftermath.Campbell hesitated for a moment but eventually followed her into the elevator.The Elegant Harmony Hotel was located next to the East Sea City's coastline, with a view of Moon Lake Mountain. In terms of location, surrounding facilities, and environment, it was one of the top hotels in East Sea City

"I respect you as my aunt, so I won't hold this slap against you. Now, please leave. You're not welcome here," Vivian said, covering her swollen cheek. She slowly stood up, her tear-filled eyes flashing with defiance and anger as she coldly stared at her aunt."You little brat, you dare to kick us out? This is infuriating! It seems one slap isn't enough to teach you a lesson..." Hayley, enraged, lunged forward with her hefty body, her hands clawing."I'll help you teach this little witch a lesson," shouted another heavily made-up woman, Vivian's third aunt, Xandria. She rushed forward, her sharp nails aiming for Vivian's delicate face. Xandria, coming from a wealthy merchant family, was known for her fierce and unruly nature.Vivian, having been pampered since childhood and surrounded by well-mannered people, had never encountered such a scene. She was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of panic. Instinctively, she stepped back, but in her nervousness, her heel tw

Under the intimidating presence of Campbell Watson, Humphrey didn't dare to breathe loudly, feeling as if his life was in constant danger.After issuing his warning, Campbell didn't linger and quickly left the Elegant Harmony Hotel.He believed that as long as these people had any sense, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly for now.As Campbell walked out of the hotel, he prepared to hail a cab back to SkyRise Corporation.Although Promise Nelson was relatively safe within the company, Campbell felt more at ease keeping an eye on things himself until he could train a reliable team of bodyguards.Who knew if some desperate individuals might try to kidnap someone directly from the company?The Hell Organization would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!Campbell was still a bit worried.As soon as Campbell left, Humphrey let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest.He watched Campbell's departing figure, a trace of malice flickering in his eyes

The dagger sliced through the air with a sharp, piercing sound, almost painful to the ears.The blade's movements were fierce and relentless, each strike faster than the last, leaving a trail of ghostly white shadows that were truly terrifying.Even martial artists who had just entered the Yellow Rank would likely meet their end facing Easton's ruthless street-fighting knife techniques.Easton's knife skills were honed through life-and-death battles, far more lethal than those flashy but impractical techniques.Every strike was a killing move, aimed directly at vital points.However, Campbell Watson was not one of those low-level martial artists.Easton's meager skills couldn't even scratch him..."I thought you were a master, but it turns out you only know some basic street tricks!" Campbell said, shaking his head in disappointment.He had hoped to discern Easton's identity through his fighting style, but was let down by the simplicity of Easton's moves, which were nothing more than

"Promise, I love you, I..."Hiss, hiss, hiss...Finnegan gazed deeply at Promise Nelson as she approached, pouring his heart out. Suddenly, a burst of white smoke sprayed all over him.Cough, cough, cough...Finnegan was hit directly, his eyes and nose filled with the smell of dry ice, making him cough violently. His meticulously styled hair was blown into a mess, ruining his image completely."What the heck is this?"Finnegan was utterly confused, not knowing what had just happened.Promise stood outside the flower circle, looking at the scene in astonishment, her face caught between wanting to laugh and trying hard to hold it in.Campbell Watson was holding a fire extinguisher, spraying it wildly at Finnegan, shouting, "Fire! Fire! Run for your lives..."The roses were scattered everywhere, and the carefully arranged heart shape on the ground was now a chaotic mess.As the white fog cleared, Finnegan looked at the petals strewn all over the place and the now bare flower stems in hi

Lindsay ran back to her room barefoot, slamming the door shut with a bang. Her face was flushed with a mix of shame and anger.Her thin spaghetti strap dress was almost see-through, leaving little to the imagination.Thinking about how a stranger had nearly seen her entire body, she felt a surge of embarrassment and rage. Even her fair neck seemed to have a rosy tint, making her look even more striking.Leaning against the door, Lindsay took several deep breaths, and the redness on her face gradually faded."That pervert, I'll make sure he pays for this!"Lindsay clenched her small fists and muttered angrily, her mind racing with thoughts of revenge.There was no way she was going to let that creep get away with it...While Lindsay was plotting her revenge, Campbell Watson was sitting on the living room sofa, daydreaming about the third tenant of the villa."I wonder if that Giselle is also a stunning beauty?""Heh, who would've thought I'd have such luck after coming back home, livin
