“Isn't he Craig McGowan, one of the three big shots in Dellmoor? Why is he groveling at someone's feet?” Jon exclaimed after watching the video. He turned to look at his father in surprise.
The short video was of Craig kneeling before Harold, begging for forgiveness, right in front of the entrance of Paradise Hotel.
Someone had been brazen enough to record the incident and upload it online.
“I don't know, and apparently, no one knows who that man is either. Recognize that face, and do not ever offend him. Do you understand me? I'm tired. Please leave, and do remember what I've told you,” Connor said before he left to take his rest.
Jon was left stumped in the living room.
Even though he had seen the Instagram post by Brittany, he dared not comment on it.
The next morning at seven o'clock, when Brittany's family was not yet awake, the outside of the Xenos residence was already packed with people.
There were men and women of different ages.
However, all of them had one thing in common—they owned businesses in Dellmoor.
These people owned assets that encompassed hotels, office towers, and even factories. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Furthermore, all of them were holding a contract, not to mention that those who were there were business owners of modest size.
Those who owned smaller businesses could only wait outside the residential area.
Last night, in Paradise Hotel's platinum member chat group, a mysterious admin known as Carolyn had retracted the ban order on Brittany's Greenhouse Produce. She even ordered for the hotel, office tower, and factory owners who previously signed contracts with them to apologize to the Xenos family and offer to sign new contracts with Brittany's Greenhouse Produce.
The owners of the hotels, office towers, and factories were flabbergasted by the ban order previously.
After all, why would the management of a conglomerate like Paradise Hotel issue a ban order on a small company like Brittany's Greenhouse Produce?
Besides, the management retracted the ban order shortly after and even urged the business owners to apologize to Brittany's Greenhouse Produce.
Even though the business owners had their complaints about the decision, no one dared to voice them out.
They could only oblige and personally go to the Xenos residence to offer their apology.
“What is happening out there? Why is it so noisy?”
The Xenoses were roused by the commotion outside their house, and Mandy went outside to check it out.
“Who... are you guys? Why are all of you crowding the entrance of my home?”
Mandy was startled by the sight of the gathering of bosses dressed immaculately outside of her house.
“Good morning, Mrs. Xenos. I am the owner of Grandeur Hotel, Mr. Milburn. I am here today to apologize to you, as well as to renew the contract that we signed previously!”
A middle-aged man with a rounded belly, akin to that of a pregnant woman, stood right in front of the group. He hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Mandy with a smile upon spotting her.
It was a most peculiar sight to behold—a businessman who had a net worth of over millions was buttering up a middle-aged woman working as a farmer. The faces of the bosses who were lining up behind Mr. Milburn twitched in response.
“What did you say? That you're here to apologize and renew the contract?” Mandy asked.
She thought that she was still groggy from just waking up and heard the man wrongly. Hence, she asked again to confirm that her ears had not played a trick on her.
“Mrs. Xenos, you did not hear us wrong. We're here to ap—”
Before the pot-bellied man could finish his sentence, Mandy shut the door in his face.
She dashed back into the house and yelled at the man of the house and her children, “Hurry up and come out! There are people here!”
Still in their pajamas, Richard, Brittany, and Gordon came out of their rooms with confounded looks on their faces in response.
