Meanwhile, in Dawn Hotel's presidential suite, Joseph was talking to his two bodyguards.
Luis reported, "Mr. Queen, Mr. Ponzi had paid a few workers at Cross Group to pretend to faint from heatstroke."
"Besides, he also arranged for a van to hit Penny's car. His two accurate predictions managed to scare Penny and her father."
Terry grinned and continued buttering his boss up, "Mr. Ponzi told Penny she would cause Nathan's death, and she'll be fine if she marries a man with the surname Queen."
"I believe she'll leave Nathan soon. By then, Mr. Queen, she'll be by your side in no time."
Joseph guffawed in delight. He was apparently looking forward to that day as he snorted, 'Tve stopped going to the brothel for a few days so I can save my energy to torture Ms. Smith!"
Envy and lust appeared on Luis' and Terry's faces. They said, "Mr. Queen, after you savor the first taste, can we both take turns and get a taste of Ms. Smith, too? She's too pretty to be true.”
Joseph's personal life is messy, and he often joined orgy parties with his friends.
Chuckling smugly, he agreed. "Sure, no problem. After I have my way with her, you both can take her for a spin."
Knock knock!
Joseph was chatting with them when someone knocked on his door.
Astounded, the three of them exchanged glances. Joseph ordered cautiously, "Go check who is knocking on the door."
Luis muttered, "Could it be the janitor?"
He walked to the door and looked out of the peephole.
Surprise flashed across his face as he turned to inform Joseph. "It's a priest. He seems harmless."
Both Joseph and Terry were bewildered to hearthat answer. Joseph mumbled, "Why is there a priest at the door? Is he going to perform some exorcism?" He snickered to himself.
