“Ms. Kidman, please stop.”
Magnus stood in front of the car door and rejected Viola politely with a hand gesture.
“There is something I need to tell Joseph…”
“Mr. Beckham is busy.” Magnus rejected diplomatically.
There were lots of people outside the hotel, Viola didn’t want to embarrass herself and she stepped away.
The silver-grey limousine drove away without hesitation.
A man with a handsome suit behind Viola said, “I told you my cousin is a cold-hearted person, he cast his mother out of the house only when he was thirteen, you are nothing but a temporary fake girlfriend to him.”
“Shut up!” Viola said coldly, “You knew he was coming and arranged our meeting here?”
Franklin smiled, “Am I that good to you?”
“Stop flattering yourself, you are nothing compared to Joseph, you are what you are today because of your dirty little tricks.”
Viola uttered those words bluntly in front of him.
Franklin’s face looked like he was scheming something. He smiled but turned back to normal very quickly. “Open your eyes wide, ST Group under my command will progress even better than when Joseph was the CEO. He'll be doomed when Harrison Beckham die.”
Hearing that, Viola stunned. “What are you up to?”
“Nothing, planning for my future.”
The leaves on the palm tree outside the hotel entrance rustle on that breezy night, Viola Kidman shivered looking at the calm but cunning Franklin Hawkins.

Hayden went round and round at a bar street in Shanghai before she saw White Moon Hotel that located behind a bar. She felt the weird glance from the receptionist soon as she stepped in. She went upstairs and saw a room with the door opened and a cleaner cleaning inside.
Hayden swept a glance and her face turned green.
Under the purple-red light, there was a half life-size ‘fitness equipment' at the entrance along with some used leather whips, candles and other accessories on the floor that had some unknown fluid on them.
A shiver crept down Hayden’s spine, there was a reason why this hotel was located in such a remote place. The receptionist was covered with fancy makeup, looking at everyone with a pair of foxy eyes.
Samuel Shawn was from a wealthy family but with such weird interest?
Room 419 was nowhere to be found on the entire fourth floor, Hayden thought Samuel was fooling her when the alarm at the hall was activated.
It was chaotic in the hotel, a few people that looked like managers rushed over.
“Something is up at the top floor, quick, quick, call the manager.”
“It’s serious, there is blood all over.”
“Call the police.”
“Police? We can’t call the police over, moron, call the security and ambulance.”
“…”
No one paid attention to Hayden amid the chaos, she had even put on a formal blazer before coming here just to hide the dress underneath. She looked ordinary.
Hayden startled when she heard that someone was killed at the top floor.
Such an intense game? That took one’s life?
And yet, no one was calling the police?
