Chapter 153


    Out of a sudden, everyone realized that the question around Kai’s identity didn’t matter anymore. He


    must be someone important. Otherwise, why would he have the privilege of having free meals at


    mor Hotel? It seems like only he can help us.


    Then everyone started gathering up around Kai and begged for his help.


    “Please help us get out of this. After all, we’re Hilda’s friends!”


    “We’re such a bunch of fools for believing in Lincoln and Michelle!”


    “Lincoln is a fraud! We now know that he must’ve extorted the money from Hilda! No wonder she broke


    up with him.”


    “Please, Kai. I’m begging you!”


    Kai stood up and took a nce at all of them. He grinned and eximed, “How audacious of all of you


    to call yourselves Hilda’s friends! I can get all of you out of this with just one word. But that’s not what


    I’m going to do. Every one of you deserves this!”


    Upon hearing that, everyone was remorseful for what they had done.


    “Bring them away!” Since Kai wasn’t going to help them, one of the staff at the payment counter gave


    the order.


    “Hey! No! Let me go…”


    “Please help me!”


    Some of them had even started sobbing when they were being brought away by force.


    “Don’t touch me! I… I am a close friend of your boss’ daughter! If you touch me again, I’ll get her to fire


    all of you!” Lincoln instinctively threatened the security guards.


    Faced with the possibility of losing their livelihoods, the security guards stopped in their tracks. The


    staff at the payment counter were also stunned. After all, they were the ones who gave the order.


    Lincoln felt relieved after finding out that his threat worked. He then said arrogantly, “I’m a close friend


    of Ms. Sullivan. Initially, I didn’t want to tell her that I was dining here. Otherwise, she’d havee with


    me. But if you touch me again, you’ll leave me no choice! I can give her a call right now and get all of


    you fired. Now, let me go and I’ll let it slide.”


    Instantly, all the staff turned to look at Kai. They knew of the rtionship between Kai and Josephine. If


    Josephine was really a close friend of Lincoln, Kai would have known. Hence, they wanted to find out if


    Lincoln was telling the truth.

    Kai furrowed his brows. Just when he wanted to question Lincoln, a voice echoed through the lobby.


    “So, you said you know Ms. Sullivan?”


    The voice came from the entrance of the hotel. Kai turned around and saw Josephine walking through


    the door.


    While staring coldly at Josephine, Lincoln nodded and said, “Yes, I do. In fact, we’re close friends. We’d


    always dine together!”


    Upon hearing that, Josephine burst intoughter.


    Kai, too, wasughing his head off. So Lincoln was bluffing! He almost got me there!


    The hotel staff started chuckling among themselves as well. Josephine was right in front of him, and yet


    Lincoln wasn’t even aware of who he was speaking to. Just a few seconds ago, he had even arrogantly


    imed that he was a close friend of Josephine.


    “Hey, idiot! Do you know who the person standing right in front of you is?” Kai smiled mockingly.


    Lincoln looked at Kai and felt uneasy, as though something embarrassing was about to happen to him.


    As he was staring at Kai in puzzlement, thetter continued, “The person standing right in front of you


    is Ms. Sullivan, your close friend!”


    Suddenly, chuckles turned into waves ofughter. The staff couldn’t contain themselves any longer. On


    the other hand, Lincoln wished that the ground would open up and swallow him whole.


    “What are you doing here thiste at night?” Kai asked Josephine.


    “What else? I heard you were here, so I came to see you. I’ve also heard that you have a beautifuldy


    apanying you these days. You’re enjoying life, aren’t you?” Josephine was staring at Kai with a


    hint of jealousy in her eyes.
