Chapter Sixty six
Immediately, Penelope jumped into the confrontation with all the pent-up rage and humiliation she had been carrying since her earlier encounter with Jeremy. Her voice was shrill and aggressive as she pointed her finger accusingly at the front desk lady.“You were babbling just now, running your mouth and saying all sorts of rubbish earlier!” Penelope shouted, her face flushed red with anger. “You think we're just some kind of low-class common individuals that you can talk to however you like, whenever you feel like it, but we are not that kind of people!”Her voice grew even louder and more threatening as she stepped closer to the desk, clearly trying to intimidate the hostess through sheer volume and aggression. “With my friend here, we just want one simple phone call, that's all we're asking for, but instead you want to play games with us! Well, you are done and dusted now, so you better make that phone call right this instant!”Immediately Penelope's finger jabbed toward the phon

At that moment, hearing what Penelope just said about Jeremy being a fraudster and Patricia being his ex-wife, the front desk lady's expression shifted from polite concern to firm professionalism. She straightened her shoulders and looked directly at both women with the kind of resolve that suggested she had dealt with difficult customers before and wasn't about to be swayed by dramatic claims or emotional appeals.“Well, that is not our problem and that is absolutely not our concern,” the hostess said clearly, her voice carrying the authority of someone who was simply following established policies rather than making personal judgments. “This establishment clearly has rules in place, rules that people simply do not break regardless of their personal circumstances or relationships.”She gestured toward a small placard on the front desk that outlined the restaurant's privacy policies. “It is clearly stated there in our guidelines that whenever we have a well-established guest dining

Immediately, without wasting another second, the bodyguards bowed their heads in unison and turned to leave the room, their heavy footsteps echoing down the hallway as they moved to carry out Lovis's orders. Steven watched them go, then turned back to face Lovis with a question lingering on his lips.“Is there any need for me to leave right now?” Steven asked, his voice uncertain but hopeful. “Should I just wait here for them to bring Jeremy back? Since they're going to grab him and bring him here anyway, we might as well stay put so we can start getting the information we need and quickly move forward with the plan. The governor's mother doesn't have enough time to waste on delays - we need to get moving on this as soon as possible.”Lovis nodded slowly, his expression confident and untroubled by any doubt about the outcome of this operation. “My guards do not fail," he said with the kind of certainty that came from years of watching his men execute difficult tasks flawlessly. "The

At that moment, hearing what Lovis just said about his demands and conditions, Steven felt a mixture of relief and desperation wash over him. He nodded his head eagerly, his movements sharp and frantic as he tried to show complete agreement with whatever terms were being laid out for him.“I agree, I completely agree!” Steven said quickly, his voice still shaky but filled with the kind of desperate enthusiasm that came from seeing a potential way out of an impossible situation. “I'm going to do exactly what you want, everything you've asked for. The connection with the governor, Patricia, all of it - I'll deliver everything you need.”But then Steven's expression shifted slightly, and he held up one trembling hand in a gesture that suggested he had something more to add to their arrangement. His voice became more careful and calculated, like he was about to propose something that could either save him completely or get him killed on the spot.“But I have one last request to ask you,”

Immediately, Steven nodded his head up and down like a bobblehead doll, his whole body trembling as sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool temperature in the room. His voice came out in a rush of desperate words, each sentence tumbling over the next as he tried to appease the dangerous man sitting before him.“Yes, yes, she's the one! She's definitely the one you're thinking of!” Steven said, his voice cracking with fear and desperation. “And I want you to know that I'm very, very sorry for everything that I did in the past, for every single thing that went wrong between us. I'm so sorry for disappointing you, Lovis, I'm incredibly sorry for letting you down and making you angry with me.”Steven's words came faster as panic drove him to keep talking, hoping that somehow the right combination of apologies and promises would get him out of this terrifying situation alive. “I know I messed up badly, I know I caused problems that I should never have caused, but I'm willing to mak

Hearing what Patricia just said, Steven's voice came through the phone sounding smug and self-satisfied, like he had been waiting for this moment to arrive so he could say “I told you so” without any restraint.“Well, I initially told you the other day that Jeremy is completely useless,” Steven said with that condescending tone he always used when he felt vindicated about something. “I warned you that he was just pretending from the very beginning, putting on some big show about being a devoted father when the truth was obvious to anyone paying attention. Yes, Jeremy has been pretending from the very beginning, and now your eyes are opened and you can now see him for what he really is.”Steven's voice carried a note of triumph, like he was pleased that Patricia was finally coming around to his way of thinking about her ex-husband. He had never liked Jeremy and had always believed the man was hiding his true nature behind a facade of humility and dedication.Patricia felt a flash wi
