Gazing upon the mob of reporters gathered in front of the hotel, Wendy could not help but wonder why they were there.
Mr. Baxter isn't involved in show business, nor is he in any way a famous person on the internet. How could he have attracted all these reporters here? Or are they here because it's been exposed that the woman in the video is Arielle?
At this thought, Wendy's heart filled up with glee.
Compared to Henrick, the reporters were an even scarier threat.
Once the scandal started to spread, that would surely be the end of Arielle.
The moment Henrick found the hotel manager, he ordered the latter at once, “We need to go upstairs. Give us the elevator card now!”
The elevator of Grandview Hotel could only be accessed with a room key card or an elevator card.
Seeing that neither of them was the hotel's guests, the manager apologized, “I'm sorry, but we keep our guests' information confidential. You are not allowed to go up.”
“Why not? My daughter is a guest in your hotel! Why can't I go and look for her?” Henrick retorted in anger.
“Well...” The manager's expression turned awkward.
Just then, a woman's voice rang out, “Let me have the elevator card.”
Both Henrick and Wendy turned sideways toward the source in unison. In the next instant, Wendy's eyes lit up as she hurried over to the woman.
“Ms. Stone!”
Susanne responded with a nod before repeating her words to the manager. “The elevator card, please.”
The hotel was owned by Nightshire Group. Thus, it only took a moment for the manager to recognize Susanne. He immediately took a step back and handed the elevator card to her respectfully.
The three entered the elevator together. Meanwhile, the reporters had broken through the security's defense line. Having no access to the elevators, they went up through the staircase.
In the elevator, Wendy put on a worried look as she hooked her arm around Susanne's.
“Hopefully nothing's happened to Arielle, Ms. Stone.”
