The look in Jacob’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on his phone. “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll look into it right away!”
Jacob took action quickly and soon learned that Simon was not at home. After double-checking with the hotel employees, he discovered that Simon was, in fact, at the hotel and had met with the Shaw family.
The entire York family soon learned of this news, and Norman York even called up Simon himself.
When Simon got the call from Norman, he was watching Noelle roll amongst the sheets as she battled the heat building inside her. An odd look appeared in his eyes as he cleared the smoke from the room and destroyed all the surveillance cameras placed within the room.
Then, he broke a vase and used one of the shattered pieces to make a cut on Noelle’s arm. He bent down and took a close look at her face.
She had skin so pretty that it was practically glowing, and there was not a single blemish on it. He reached a hand out to touch her face as his eyes narrowed themselves together. “Today’s your lucky day!”
Charles’ men immediately notified him when they noticed Simon walking out of Room 808. The smoke had not been fully cleared from the room when Charles rushed over. He swept his stern gaze across the room and noticed it had been cleaned earlier.
Meanwhile, Noelle was lying in bed, her face a bright red.
Charles hurried over and noticed how unnaturally red the color of her face was. It was identical to the past two struggles, but she was considerably quieter this time.
His gaze landed on Noelle’s body. Her clothes were still intact on her body, and it seemed that nothing had happened. However, a dark look appeared in his eyes when his gaze landed on her arm.
He picked up Noelle’s arm and used a handkerchief to bandage the blood oozing from her arm.
Ronald called out from where he stood at the entrance, “Mr. Hoffman! Simon York has already left.”
