How embarrassing!
Zeke suddenly scolded Summer, “Summer! This is the hotel's asset! How dare you get rid of it without my permission!”
“I want you to bear the loss you've caused the hotel! I'm ordering you to purchase this particular piece using your own assets!”
Summer was dumbfounded.
Why is Zeke behaving like a stingy man all of a sudden? He isn't such a stingy man, right? He's acting nothing like his usual self!
However, it seems like there's a reason behind his action.
Lacey immediately stood up for Summer, “Forget about it, Zeke! It's such a trivial matter! It's just a worthless piece of artwork! Let's just let bygones be bygones.”
Hannah tried to persuade Zeke on behalf of Summer as well.
However, Zeke told them, “Mom, Lacey, please stay out of this.”
“This is a matter of principles. If I don't teach a general manager like her a lesson after she has broken the rules of the hotel, I don't think she will be able to lead the rest of the team.”
Lacey was about to persuade Zeke on Summer's behalf again, but Summer got ahead of her and interrupted their conversation. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Williams. It's my mistake.”
“Jayden, I believe you know what has happened. I'll offer you ten thousand. Please return the piece of artwork to me.”

Honnoh tried to persuode Zeke on beholf of Summer os well.
However, Zeke told them, “Mom, Locey, pleose stoy out of this.”
“This is o motter of principles. If I don't teoch o generol monoger like her o lesson ofter she hos broken the rules of the hotel, I don't think she will be oble to leod the rest of the teom.”

“Why?” asked Lacey curiously.
Zeke repeated himself, “Just take it.”
Lacey took over the piece of artwork.
Zeke took a mouthful of water and spit on the piece of artwork.
Lacey was shocked and asked, “Zeke, why the hell did you do that!”
“You spent so much getting it back! Why are you ruining it?”
Zeke replied, “I'm not trying to ruin it. I'm unveiling its true value.”
Hannah's eyes gleamed all of a sudden as she recalled something. She got worked up and asked, “Zeke, do you think something is hidden behind this particular piece?”
Zeke nodded. “Yes, mom. Please work on it.”
