Why did they all suddenly fall?


    The security personnel were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.


    Bertram’s expression was mocking. “A bunch of trash!”


    Heaven bestowed kindness upon those who were kind-hearted. People who followed the Path


    generally did not resort to violence so easily. They especially refrained from harming ordinary people.


    That did not mean they would tolerate being bullied by these secr individuals, however.


    Ash stopped him the first time, and Nash stopped him the second time. It was now the third time, and


    he would not hold back anymore.


    Shanice got up from the ground. Seeing the fallen security p nnel and the calm people at the table, she


    finally realized that no them were ordinary people.


    “And you…” Bertram pointed at Nathan. Before he could even words fly, Nathan’s legs gave up. He fell


    to the ground on his kn begging for mercy, “Honorable sir… please spare me… I won’t do again!”


    Nathan was originally from the countryside. After the Solme family prospered in recent years, the family


    head found their branch of the family after tracing their genealogy. When Nathan first arrived at the


    main family, he was honest, hardworking, and a superbly fast learner.


    It was why he was assigned to be the general manager of the southern region. Recently, he received a


    substantial bonus and grew slightly arrogant. He became harsh toward the employees he managed.


    He was excited to have the opportunity to host the Warden of the Southern Territory this time. He


    thought it was a great honor for a country bumpkin like him to have the chance to entertain such a


    prestigious figure.


    Never would Nathan have imagined that there would be someone in this world who would not give


    respect to the Warden of the Southern Territory.


    Bertram nced at Nash. “Do you want me to kill him?”


    Nash shook his head. “He’ll soon have nothing left anyway.”


    Bertram grinned. He sat back down and turned to Shanice. “Girl, bring us tea!”


    Shanice blinked, finallying back to her senses. She quick fetched the kettle to go boil some water.


    Nathan was a bit confused when he heard what Nash said. He soon have nothing left? What did Nash


    mean? He was the gene manager of the hotels in the southern region and a member of t Solme family


    in Capiton. Why would Nash say he would soon have nothing left?


    Just then, a woman entered through the main door, her heels clicking against the floor. She had long


    hair, wore the same uniform as


    Shanice, and was carrying a file in her hand.


    “Rooney Solme, why are you here?” Nathan asked in surprise.


    Rooney was the financial director responsible for the Empire Hotels in the southern region. She held a


    high position within the Solme family and had been part of the family since their great-grandfather’s


    generation.


    Rooney looked down at Nathan, who was on his knees, with a hint of pity in her eyes. “To submit


    financial reports to the new owner of the Xanthalos Empire Hotel!”


    “New owner? What are you saying? Is the hotel going to be transferred to another member of the


    family? But this is the southern region and my jurisdiction!”


    Although Nathan had already guessed the situation, he refused to admit it and refused to ept this


    reality.


    Rooney smiled with her lips pursed. “Uncle, you’ve been expelled from the family. The family head


    personally removed your name from the family tree. From today onward, you’re no longer a member o


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Solme family. Not only that, you no longer have any connecti Empire Hotel!”


    Nathan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was kneeling before, but now, he was sitting on


    the ground as if his soul had b sucked away from his body.


    Rooney’s lips curled slightly as she walked toward the table with the file in hand. “Excuse me, which


    one of you is Mr. Calcraft?”


    Shanice, who was pouring tea for Nash, trembled again. The hot water spilled onto Nash’s pants. It


    was freshly boiled water too!


    Shanice was so scared she almost fell to her knees. Her face was drained of color as she trembled. “I-


    I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I…”


    Nash felt a twinge of pain from getting scalded, but he endured it and calmly replied, “It’s alright.”


    Rooney came up to Nash and started, “Mr. Calcraft, hello. This is the financial report for the current


    year. The Empire Hotel in Xanthalos has been transferred to your name, so the finances need to be


    handled separately.


    “In the future, this hotel will also be separated from Empire Capital.”


    Nash epted the financial report and nced at it. The annual turnover was around 200 million.


    Disdain flickered in his eyes instantly.
