My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 176

Zeke's expression became frigid. He did not expect that his carelessness would develop into this. "I didn't steal anything. Since you don't believe me but want to call the police, bring it on, then."

Luka saw Zeke was still provocative and angrily pointed at him with the same finger gesture. "You'd better believe I will call the police!"

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police when an appealing yet cold voice came to his ears. "That won't be necessary."

It turned out to be Nicole. When she noticed Zeke had not kept up, she turned around and walked back.

She had heard the ins and outs of the matter. Looking at Zeke's obviously puerile yet stubborn face, Nicole knew without any doubt that it was the other guy who was looking for trouble. She looked at Luka and said in a toneless voice, "If you want to know the truth, just check back the surveillance record."

Luka was looking at Nicole and falling into a reverie. When he heard what she said, he sneered and said," You want to stand up for this stalker and thief? Don't you know that the surveillance record of the Assoria Castle is never open to the public?"

Nicole ignored his mockery, just turned around, and said to Zeke, "Wait a minute."

The Assoria Castle had five floors, with the second floor onward as the guest rooms. Because of privacy concerns, the surveillance record was not open for public inspection. There was only the front hall, and it was easy to gain access to the surveillance record.

Nicole summoned a waitstaff to call the manager over.

Luka sneered at Nicole's methodical appearance. "I advise you not to waste your time. We have been staying here for half a month and have never seen the manager's face here. How do you expect people to look at the surveillance record for the sake of a redneck? You must be kidding me."

Something crossed her mind as Chloe stared at Nicole with cold eyes. For some reason, she felt Nicole looked familiar to her as if she had met Nicole before.

Meanwhile, Luka was still rattling on. "Where did you get the courage to think that the manager would come out to see you? Besides, the castle has a rule that the surveillance record must not be open for public inspection. You two are probably parvenus with some money, gaining access to the castle after buying a key card, right? Quickly hand the things over. We are hurrying to shoot with Mr. Holder and have no time for you. The manager will not come at all."

Before his voice trailed off, a mundane voice came from behind him. "Is this young lady who wants to see the surveillance record?"

Luka was stunned, eyes wide open in disbelief.

The manager was no ordinary figure. There was a powerful force behind the Assoria Castle, where even the waitstaff was someone whom he and Chloe could not offend. After so many days of staying here, they had not even seen the manager's face once. What was happening was beyond them. They could not believe that the manager had come out because of Nicole.

Luka looked back at the manager, who wore a well-cut black tuxedo with a distant expression on his face. By the looks of him, the manager was no ordinary character.

He wore a gold-framed monocle, a silk white pocket square on the left chest, with his right hand in front of his chest. It was the most standard butler attire.

Luka was stunned and asked, "May I know who you are?"

Even Chloe looked in disbelief.
