Chapter 614 Delete Footage, Then Ghost?
Marie raised an eyebrow. “What now? The guest registration system’s broken too?”
Finished
The hotel manager stammered, “I…”
“Don’t even think about lying to me,” handwritten records.”
Marie said
Sharply. “Even if your system’s down, byw, you’re still required to keep
Guest records weren’t a joke; regtory authorities could check them at any time. If something went wrong, the entire capital’s hotel industry would be investigated.
The manager fumbled, “Well…”
“What?” she snapped.
Marie snapped. ‘Enough already!‘
With a stiff smile, the manager admitted, “Well, someone deleted the records.”
“Deleted?” Marie’s voice dropped cold.
The manager nodded. “Yes… that’s right.”
Marie pondered. <i>Deleted</i><i>? </i>
Marie’s tone was icy. “Who deleted them?”
“We didn’t know the guy, he came in this morning with a gun and… just started waving it around…”
At that point, the hotel manager looked like he was about to cry.
<i>What </i><i>even </i><i>is </i><i>this </i>day? Since morning, their nerves hadn’t stopped rattling.
Marie’s expression turned pitch dark.
At this point, she was nearly certain–whoever deleted the records was the same person who had slept with herst night.
“Who booked room 808 on the 66th floorst night?”
The manager shook his head. “The data’s been wiped–we really don’t know.”
Her face darkened further; a storm gathered behind her eyes.
<i>So </i>even <i>the </i><i>surveince </i>footage, <i>those </i><i>people </i><i>were </i><i>behind </i><i>that </i><i>too</i><i>? </i>
The manager froze.
He didn’t dare speak; he didn’t even want to remember. Honestly, they <b>were </b>lucky to have survived their shift today.
“Ms. Marie, we’d never lie to you… please, just have mercy on us,” the manager said, finally breaking into tears.
<i>And </i>who could me him? If they couldn’t settle this, they might really end up dead.
Marie didn’t say a word
“We just want to stay alive, the manager whimpered.
Marie was stunned. Seriously<i>? </i>This grown man bawling like a child<i>? </i>
Forget it. The surveince and guest records had been deleted, pushing the staff wouldn’t get her anywhere.
In the end, after raising hell all morning, Marie showed some rare mercy and let the Spirit Pub staff off the hook.
As the three women left the hotel, Julia looked at Marie with guilt in her eyes. “Marie, I’m really sorry. I had something urgent <bst </b>night. When I dropped you off, the room was definitely empty”
<b>8:39 </b>PM

Even as she said it, Julia looked like she’d lost all hope in life.
???? ??????????????????????
Finished
Marie took a sip from the water bottle in her hand, eyes drifting to the bustling street. “So this guy, he deleted the security footage, wiped the registry, he must have some pull in Falvaria, right?”
A <i>regr </i><i>guy </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>pull </i><i>this </i><i>off</i>, <i>right</i>?
Eileen nodded. “From the way the hotel reacted, I’d say they’re really too scared to hand over anything.”
that ph
“If you’d pushed just a little harder, that manager would’ve dropped to his knees.”
Yeah, it had been that intense..
Marie was stunned.
To wield that kind of influence—to scare an entire hotel i
into
–
guy was <i>not </i>just some nobody.
Julia offered, “Why don’t we ask Mr. Abraham to look into it?”
No
No matter how powerful this guy was, no one in Falvaria outranked
Abraham.
Eileen nodded in agreement. “At this point, you’ve got no choice but to ask your brother.”
Marie hissed, “If I ever catch that bastard, I’m cutting his balls off.”
Whoever he was, he clearly wasn’t just some scrub. Anyone who could intimidate an entire hotel had considerable weight behind them.
<i>But </i>to <i>sleep </i>with a <i>woman </i><i>and </i><i>then </i><i>run </i>away? <i>What </i>kind of <i>man </i><i>does </i><i>that</i><i>? </i>
Hearing Marie fume like that, Eileen twitched at the corner of her mouth. “Maybe that’s exactly why he ran, he was afraid you’d actually do it.”
Julia went silent.
Marie was stunned.
Eileen added, “Seriously though–that’s not impossible. After seeing what you did to Dan and E, the guy probably got even more scared to show his face.”
Marie’s face twisted into <b>a </b>scowl. She looked like she’d just swallowed a fly.
Speaking of E…
Marie turned to Julia. Don’t feel too guilty. In a way, you probably saved my life.”
She’d slept like the deadst night. If she had ended up in 65-808 like nned, and gotten jumped by a group of men… it would’ve destroyed her.
One guy vs. a group? That was a massive difference.
Julia blinked. “Huh?”
Marie exined, “E set me upst night. Had several guys waiting in 65-808.”
Thank goodness Julia had sent her to the 66th floor instead
But one mystery sull lingered–who exactly was the powerful man who had slept with her. There were only a handful of people in Falvaria with that kind of influence.
Julia cursed, “That wench, she really had the nerve to scheme against you?”
