Eventually, Chuck made his leave.
The only ones who remained in the hall were the members of the Allen family, and they were close to losing their minds.
Their house was in a mess!
The Allen family's guards nor the family themselves had never expected such an incident to occur on this day, especially Landon and Leonardo.
The latter still felt as if he was in a dream.
"Someone, get Dr. Andrews here this instance!" Leonardo ordered, breaking the silence throughout the hall.
The people present looked at one another in dismay.
"Grandpa, who on earth was that?" someone asked. Their opinion of their own family had basically been subverted.
They couldn't believe someone better than them had existed.
The Allen family was already the best of the best, how could that be possible?
"None of you have to know who he is. What matters is that we stop provoking him from now onwards. Our family can't afford the consequences," Leonardo replied in a dignified tone.
At this time, he still had a palm print from Betty's slap imprinted on his face. It was very attention-grabbing.
Every member of the Allen family went stocked at that admission.
What? Had they really met someone they couldn't afford to offend?
"Grandpa, is he from the other three families?" someone asked again.
"Idiot! What do you think? Do you think we can't trample the other three families by ourselves?" Leonardo yelled furiously. Why were his grandchildren so dimwitted?
How could they even think to form such a question with their mouths?
At that, the rest of the Allen family were at a loss. Who on earth was that man?
"If word of this gets out today, even a tiny snippet of what happened, I swear I'll hold every one of you accountable and kill you!" Leonardo said coldly.
What had happened to the Allen family on this day was nothing but shameful. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
He could only bear with it and swallow his rage. He mustn't let anyone get wind of this. Otherwise, the Allen family's pride would be in shambles.
Now, he only hoped that the other three families would also get on Chuck's bad side. If they did, the Allen family would be less undignified.
All of the guards merely looked at one another and could only nod. Anyhow, who would dare tell anyone else about this? The rest of the Allen family took this as a wake-up call, finally noticing that the world did not revolve around them. They had been living under a rock before this.
In this world, there was no wall that was impenetrable.
Meanwhile, in the Champ family's household.
Cheryl had heard gossip about the many cars that had shown up at the Allen family's household just the day before. No one knew what exactly had transpired but many had reported that they heard loud crashes.
What did this mean?
Did someone go up to the Allen family to cause trouble? Cheryl was a smart woman and she was gloating at their misfortune. Indeed, the Big Four families had always been fighting amongst themselves both in public and in private. If something bad had happened to the Allen family, it would greatly benefit the Champ family.
She really wanted to figure out the incident, but there was really no way for her to do so. She wondered if it could be the other two households that stirred up the trouble.
She didn't think so. The four families were almost identical in terms of power and capabilities. How could the other two families manage this? It was too quick of a turnabout.
Cheryl thought the whole situation was odd. Not long after, she received a call from her secretary.
"What is it?" she asked upon answering her phone.
"The hotel belonging to the Allen family on National Road has its sign taken down. It's changed into a different name," the secretary informed. They were very aware of every move the other families made. The hotel mentioned had just been renovated less than half a year ago, it was very new to begin with. Cheryl was confused as to how it could be under renovation again, much less a name-change.
This was just inconceivable!
"What is the new name?" Cheryl asked in surprise as she thought about the hotel in question was the one Chuck had wanted to purchase.
"Nine Days Hotel," the secretary answered.
What? Cheryl was too astounded to even respond. Did this mean it wasn't the Allen family's hotel anymore? Did that other guy buy the hotel for real? How was it possible?
After that, Cheryl headed out and drove towards the vicinity of the hotel. She was so shocked to see that indeed, the hotel had its name changed. She couldn't figure out why the Allen family would sell it away.
Who bought it? Cheryl really didn't think it was Chuck. But if not him, who was the buyer?
She was extremely curious.
She got out of her car and walked up to the hotel. Sure enough, the front desk had undergone some changes. It was manned by a completely different batch of people.
There was a particularly beautiful woman behind the front desk clad in a professional uniform. This was Yolanda, who came over and had started to manage the hotel for a few days now. Cheryl walked up to her and asked, "Who's your boss now?"
