Chapter 22 How Dare You Hit Me

“What’s the matter?” Aurelia asked anxiously.

Finished

Phyllis had always been kind to others, possessing a gentle demeanor. No matter where she went, she managed to get along well with everyone. Aurelia wondered what had happened that could cause a change in the receptionist’s expression.

“Your mother just had an argument with a guest who was on his way to dine at the restaurant on the thirty–sixth floor while she was cleaning the elevator. Now, the guest has lodged a complaint with the hotel.” The receptionist was also somewhat anxious, speaking to Aurelia while simultaneously calling the hotel manager.

The hotel they operated had always prioritized service, taking complaints very seriously.

Although Phyllis had only been working for a month, she had a good relationship with her colleagues. They all liked the gentle Phyllis.

It was uncertain how the hotel manager would handle the complaint incident.

Immediately, Aurelia followed the receptionist to the elevator and arrived at the tenth floor.

Before they even reached the office, they could already hear the conversation inside.

“You must deal with her seriously. It’s one thing to be rude to guests in the elevator, but she event dared to lay a hand on my mother!”

“The diamond ring worth hundreds of thousands that I had in my hand is missing. There were only the three of us in the elevator. She must have stolen it. I demand that you search her.”

“Luna, you’ve gone too far with your accusations. I have never stolen anything from anyone. It was you who struck me first just now. I was merely defending myself.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Aurelia abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Melanie, Luna?

Ever since the day she left the hospital, she hadn’t seen them. Apart from the day she bought the car, she had only seen Melanie and Curtis dating from a distance inside the car dealership, but she had never faced them directly.

Upon hearing the two of them relentlessly pressuring her adoptive mother, Aurelia pursed her lips, clenched her fists, suppressing the surging hatred in her heart, and quickly walked over.

“Phyllis, first apologize to the guest, then proceed with a search as per the guest’s request.” After the manager arrived, he dealt with Phyllis accordingly.

Phyllis didn’t expect that the manager would place all the blame on her without asking about the

course of events.

“If I can’t find the ring, I’ll expose the unscrupulous behavior of your hotel staff to the media,”
