Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 92

The lobby manager noticed the commotion and rushed over. At the sight of Zyler and Lily, he quickly apologized humbly.

His modest attitude appeased Lily's anger. Still, she arrogantly pointed at the security guard.

"Get rid of this watchdog right now! I don't want to see him here when I spend my money!"

Lily then pointed at Hera and shouted, "And detain this country bumpkin for interrogation!"

"Yes, yes," the lobby manager nodded repeatedly.

Then, his heart skipped a beat when he noticed Hera's cold and annoyed expression.

"Ms. Bourne, perhaps it's best if you avoid visiting here in the future," the lobby manager said with a professional smile.

With a simple hand gesture, the security guards immediately dragged Lily out despite her resistance.

Both Lily and Zyler were puzzled by the rapid escalation of the situation.

"How dare you treat me like this! I'll file a complaint against you! Let go of me! I have an appointment here—ouch!"

Lily's cursing faded as she was dragged away.

"Escort out the guest Lily Bourne made an appointment with," the lobby manager instructed into his walkie-talkie.

The onlookers gasped. Only those with substantial financial means could afford to spend at Luxent Hotel. Gold card members were obligated to spend at least five million dollars annually.

Yet, a lobby manager dared to cast out such a high-end customer. They had even removed the person she had an appointment with. The onlookers couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the person Lily had offended.

All eyes turned to Hera. They were curious about the drama, but the lobby manager dispersed the crowd.

"Ms. Youngworth, my apologies for the disturbance," the lobby manager said, bowing apologetically.

His obsequious demeanor seemed as if, in the next moment, Hera could command him to kneel and lick the floor clean if she wished.

Zyler felt uncomfortable watching from the sidelines.

"Excuse me. Please step aside!"

Zyler tried to approach Hera but was blocked by Douglas.

Hera ignored Zyler and walked away coldly.

"Dou-Douglas!"

Zyler recognized Douglas. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was Bernard's personal assistant. Unbeknownst to others, Queenie had instructed the Gaskells to memorize all the direct lineages and even the assistants of essential figures in the Killian family.

Douglas glanced at Zyler and failed to recall who he was. However, chasing after Hera was more urgent, so he ignored Zyler and quickly walked away.

Being ignored by two people in a row infuriated Zyler.

But what enraged him even further was the sudden realization that Hera had struck up a connection with Douglas. Moreover, Douglas seemed to care a lot about Hera.

Piecing it together, he felt it was no surprise that the lobby manager would prostrate before a bankrupt heiress.

The thought ignited anger within Zyler.

He continued to curse Hera in his heart.

"Hera is so superficial and low! She had claimed to like me before, but now she is cozying up to another man!"

He felt even more insulted by the fact that Douglas was merely his cousin's personal assistant.

Even if his status as an assistant wasn't considered too low, Zyler was still the heir to the Gaskell family.

He wondered if Hera honestly thought he was inferior to even Bernard's assistant and if she had actually tried to cozy up to him.
