Scarface Lorenzo lowered his head and said very ingratiatingly, I’m your bodyguard. Some time ago, the butler recruited me and instructed me to protect you from today onward.”

“Really? How come I’m not aware?” Alexia Harper looked at him in disdain and pursed her lips.

“Is the butler blind? He hired such an ugly person like you to protect me? If I have to look at you every day, won’t I lose my appetite?” She was referring to the scar on Lorenzo’s chin which had a different color from the rest of his skin. It made him look particularly menacing.

When he heard this, Scarface Lorenzo raised his head abruptly as a killing intent flashed across his eyes.

He hated it the most who people poked fun at the scar on his face, especially when those people were clearly being condescending just like Alexia was.

However, the killing intent only surfaced for a fleeting instant before vanishing. Scarface Lorenzo smiled ingratiatingly, “If you don’t want to see me, I’ll just walk behind you. At any rate, your safety is the most important, Miss.”

He lowered his head so much that his head almost reached his knees.

Alexia had always led a pampered life and she was arrogant by nature. She loved it when other people worshiped her like a princess and yielded to all her wishes.

Although she was a little puzzled that the butler did not inform her about hiring bodyguards for her, she did not probe further when she saw how compliant this person was. She said with a dismissive wave, “Alright. Since you’re so obedient, I’ll allow you to follow me.”

Her tone was so haughty and she made it sound like it was an honor for Lorenzo to be given such an opportunity.

Scarface Lorenzo simply bowed and replied, “Thank you, Miss.” He would put up with this brat for the time being. When he went to the Harper family’s place later to snatch the treasure box, he would exact revenge on her.

Just like that, Scarface Lorenzo and his gang followed Alexia into the hotel as her bodyguards.

The hands of fate worked in mysterious ways. Sometimes an insignificant event could lead to a chain reaction of repercussions.

If a lapse occurred at some critical juncture, a foolproof plan could be knocked off course completely. This might very well lead to a… disaster.

Although Scarface Lorenzo could make use of Alexia to enter the hotel, he was not able to enter the grand hall where the engagement party was held. All the bodyguards of guests were directed to wait in a special lounge, regardless of the guests‘ statuses.

However, it did not matter as Lorenzo’s goal was to sneak into the hotel.
