Instant Millionaire novel Chapter 31

Did Mr. Thompson find this young man's nonsense believable? The onlookers' sarcastic laughter ceased and everyone was stunned. What the hell, did they hear wrongly?

"Thanks for your reminder. You helped avert a potentially huge disaster for our hotel!" For Fred to be the manager of Berkeley Hotel, he certainly can read a person and situation. He could sense that Quincy was protecting Krista and could only turn a blind eye to it.

"Then what about the compensation that you demanded?" Quincy asked with interest.

"Of course there is no need for it. I even have to thank this lady here." Fred said as he smiled at Krista, "Lady, please forgive my rudeness. Thanks for helping our hotel avoid a big loss. I'll represent the hotel to offer you 100 thousand yuan as a reward, how about it?"

Fred's initial reaction was to wonder if Master Quincy liked this lady. If he did, then he just made a big mistake by offending Master Quincy's girl.

Everyone's jaw hit the floor when not only did Fred not insist that Krista compensate for the damage to the 7 million yuan sculpture, he even wanted to reward her money for it!

They couldn't figure out why.

Naturally, Krista couldn't accept the money and could only look on as if it was all a prank.

"There is no need for the money, I think this lady wouldn't be interested in this money. Alright, it's late. Since the matter had been resolved, let's all go back to rest." Quincy calmly said.

Everyone left after Quincy finished. Before Quincy left, he gently patted Fred's shoulder and smiled at him.

This made Fred very happy. He thought that he had mishandled this but from the looks of it, not only was Master Quincy not angry, but he was also rather satisfied with his performance!

Krista carried out her clothes from the room and went to stay in Kyla's room as Alden went to check into another room.

"Krista, if it wasn't for Quincy today, you would have incurred a big loss," Kyla said to Krista as they laid on the bed. Krista was still shaken from the incident and held onto Kyla tightly. They covered themselves with the same blanket and only their snow-white shoulders were exposed.

"Don't you think that it's strange for a delicate beauty like you to beg Mr. Thompson at length to no avail but as soon as Quincy spoke up, this matter was resolved perfectly! The most important point was this was an issue of 7 million yuan! Do you think that Quincy knows Mr. Thompson?"

"You think too much, you should know very well Quincy's situation. If he knows Mr. Thompson, will he be so repulsive?" Krista immediately refuted Kyla's speculation, "I think it must be what he said had struck a chord with Mr. Thompson. I know because my father is a businessman, they are all very superstitious and can be easily swayed. Today's incident doesn't have anything to do with Quincy."

"No matter what, Quincy had helped you today. You shouldn't mistreat him from now on." Kyla was doubtful of what Krista said. Even she wasn't fooled by the huge discrepancy in what Quincy said so how could Mr. Thompson believe it?

"Forget it, this time he was lucky." Krista still despised Quincy.

Krista and Kyla woke up early the next day and they went out to buy some sanitary pads.

As they were walking along the corridor, a couple was fooling around and "crash!" a youth with a mohawk hairstyle knocked down a wall clock causing it to crash to the ground with its internal pieces strewn about.

The workers quickly called Fred over and his heart shattered when he saw the damaged clock.

"Was this caused by you?" Fred asked the youth with the mohawk, "Do you know that this antique was purchased overseas by me for 1.08 million yuan?"

As he said this, Fred showed the receipt to the mohawk youth and as soon as he saw the receipt, his worries eased. He waved the receipt at Fred and said, "Mr. Thompson, I did break your clock today!"

The mohawk youth was an onlooker yesterday and, in his mind, Fred was a superstitious fool.

"I just looked at the receipt and noticed that your clock was bought from the USA. This clock is made by a 19th-century clock-maker, isn't it? Do you know that our country is now in a tariff war with the USA…"

The mohawk youth regurgitated whatever Quincy had said yesterday. In the end, he said, "So you see, I helped your hotel avert a huge loss. You can give me thirty to fifty thousand yuan and be done with it."

The mohawk youth was expecting a windfall but what came was Fred's yell instead!

"How dare you ask for money from me!" Fred was furious. Yesterday he was being respectful to Master Quincy. Who the hell did this youth think he was? Do you take me, Fred, for a fool? "I now decide that you need to pay me twice the cost, otherwise don't expect to leave this hotel!"

"Hey, how dare you threaten me? Do you know who I am?" The mohawk youth pointed his finger at Fred and said arrogantly, "My father is the director of JD Group and 10 times richer than you. He is also well connected with the top people!"

"Oh?" Fred smiled, "Just as I said, you must pay back twice the cost to me otherwise don't think of leaving here today. I want to see how capable your father is."

"Hey, since you are tired of living, I'll grant you your wishes. It won't help you even if you kneel and bow to me in a while!" The mohawk youth took out his cellphone and called his father.

"Hey, father, I've been detained by someone… I just broke his antique and he wants me to pay him twice the price. He doesn't even give a damn about you…"

"What the fuck, I think he is tired of living. Son, tell me, what's his name? Where are you? I'll head over now."

"He's Fred Thompson and I'm at the Berkeley Hotel!" The mohawk youth smirked at Fred.

"Who? Fred Thompson of Berkeley Hotel?"
