A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Ella spotted Bethany coming over, and she immediately held her hand.

“Beth, I intended to bring you some business, but your staff can’t just go around, treating people like this.”

Bethany hadn’t the foggiest idea what Ella was talking about, and Antonio was nowhere to be seen.

She looked at John Halloway, the hotel manager, and asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”

“The guest in room 901 said his violin was lost. Eventually, it was found in the janitor’s supply room, but several strings had been snapped.”

That was the trickiest part of the alleged incident. What was worse, someone left the violin in a staff area.

The owner of the violin, Axel Whitman, was furious. “Are you the hotel owner? I’ve called the police. They’ll handle this.

“Let me make something clear. My violin is worth five million dollars, and I’m going to file a lawsuit against your hotel!”

Bethany responded gently, “Sir, please calm down first. I understand what you’re going through, but we won’t know the truth until the police have investigated the matter.

“That said, I’m aware you have a concert tomorrow. How about I contact a luthier to check on your violin now?”

Not only was Axel not pacified, but he flew into a fit of rage. “What? A luthier? Do you think it’s that easy to fix a violin?” Bethany maintained a practiced, graceful smile as she spoke. “I’ll admit I don’t understand it too well. Let me contact several music stores and borrow a violin from them so it won’t create issues for your performance tomorrow.”

The fact was, the band had spare instruments, but Axel didn’t intend to let Bethany and her staff off the hook that easily.

“I don’t need your help! The moment our concert ends tomorrow, I want an explanation from you lot!”

Ella wore a smug expression as she stared at Bethany. She was satisfied with the “obstacle” she had orchestrated for the

latter.

When Bethany caught the look on Ella’s face, she knew that the incident was most likely her doing.

Eventually, the crowd dispersed, and Antonio finally showed up.

“How did it go, Beth? Where are the customers? Have they left already?”

Bethany gave Antonio a quiet look. “Didn’t you say you were at the hotel? You should’ve been here before I arrived.

“The customers have returned to their rooms, and Mr. Whitman gave us a day to investigate. If we don’t handle this well, it could cause significant loss for Elysian Hotel.”

Bethany gazed at John. “Check all the security footage and make a copy for the police. Make sure you include the ones for the ninth floor. Find out how someone lugged a violin out of the room and left it in the supply room!

“Also, phone all employees who worked both shifts today. We don’t have a choice. They’ll have to bear with it and cooperate with us. This is a delicate matter we’re dealing with here.”

Bethany’s phone lit up, and she received a text from Silas. She quietly read it and replied, “Just a heads–up, but I’ll be back late tonight.”

She did not tell Silas why she had to return home late.

When the police officers arrived, they went through the security footage one by one.

By the end of it, all they knew was that a fully cloaked, indiscernible lady seemingly opened room 901 with a key card. Then, she came out with a violin and carried it into the janitor’s supply room.
