Chapter 180
It turned out that Veronica's father was just an official working in Bloomville County Recorder's office. Given how
terrified Felicia and Mrs. Cylon were of Veronica and her family, | had assumed he was a powerful figure.
The suited men clearly hadn't expected her to make such a bold claim, only to find out that Malcolm was from
such a small department.
They shook their heads. One of them pulled out their phone and made a call.
"Hello, can you connectto the Bloomville County Recorder's office? Have a guy named Malcolm Brown
handle his wife. She's causing trouble in front offor no reason."
He hung up the phone right after.
Mrs. Brown froze briefly, a trace of fear showing in her eyes, but she quickly glared back defiantly right after.
"Don't try to scare me! The fact that you're staying in such a shabby hotel proves you're not anyone important.
Don't try to act tough in front of—"

Before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang.
She looked down, her face immediately becoming pale. She trembled as she answered, "Hello, honey? Y-Yes, of
course. | wouldn't dare! How could I... Is he really a big shot? Alright. I'll apologize right away."
After ending the call, she appeared completely deflated. Looking up at the men, she no longer had her earlier
bravado and seemed as timid as a mouse.
"I-I'm very sorry. | didn't know who you were..."
One of the men coldly replied, "Enough with the talk. Pay your fees and clear the room for us. We're hosting
foreign investors who have major investments in Welsington City. We can't afford to offend them. Move quickly."
Pay the fees?
When they heard this, Mrs. Brown and the other two looked like they had swallowed a bug, their expressions full
of discomfort.
They couldn't even cup with 20 thousand to pay for the meal, let alone 30 thousand dollars for the suites.
The three of them whispered to each other for a long tbut couldn't cup with a solution.
Just as Mrs. Brown turned around, she suddenly spotted Mrs. Cylon, who had been quietly standing aside,
causing her eyes to light up.
She rushed over and grabbed Mrs. Cylon by the arm. "Didn't you say that you'll call your son-in-law to ask if he
can extend our stay? You need to ask him now!"
"Yeah, just ask him! It's 30 thousand dollars for a day! Even if we sold our organs, we wouldn't be able to come
up with that much money!"
"Vanessa brought you here with great effort. You can't be ungrateful now, so ask him!"
| couldn't help but becfurious upon hearing their remarks. | thought that they were shameless.
They had been pushing Mrs. Cylon
around earlier, but now, when they were in trouble, they suddenly. thought of her. They didn't even bother to
speak kindly and were just intimidating her.
As the kind-hearted Mrs. Cylon had just witnessed everything and realized that the men were not to be messed
with, she took out her phone to call me.

After quickly switching my phone to silent mode, | answered her call, promising to help pay the fees and extend
their stay. | then called the resort manager.
Soon, the receptionist received the message. "Your three suites have been extended for another week."
She then turned to the men. "I apologize, but our premium suites are fully booked. Would you like to consider our
deluxe suites? They're also quite good and with the slevel of service. They're just slightly smaller."
"Well, we have no other choice. Just take us to see them!"
"Alright. Please follow me."
Once the receptionist left, Mrs. Brown and her companions let out a long sigh of relief, slumping down
while clinging to the front desk like
they had been drained of all energy.
"I can't believe that it's so expensive to stay here. | really couldn't tell at all."
"That was so embarrassing! We were just saying how shabby this hotel was, but even the top officials of
Welsington City stay here!"
