The crowd exchanged looks with each other. Some of them obviously recognized Betty.
They knew that she was a daughter of the Walsh family. But if they didn’t look at her face, they would have thought it was a shrew causing trouble for the hotel.
“I¨CI didn’t steal anything!” the housekeeper stammered timidly with her head bowed.
“How dare you talk back to me!”
Betty jabbed a scarlet, manicured finger at the housekeeper’s face. If it wasn’t for the manager protecting the housekeeper’s eyes, Betty would’ve stabbed them.
“I left my necklace on the sink! How could it vanish on its own?”
“It’s true that I cleaned the suite, but I wasn’t the only one there!” The housekeeper looked pale, but she refused to give in
“What do you mean? Are you suspecting us right now?” One of Betty’s friends looked furious.
“We’re all VIPs here! A necklace is worth nothing to us! Only poor commoners like you will commit such a crime!” the other friend added
“Heh! It turns out that the Taylor Group’s hotel isn’t as good as I thought. After all, their service is a lot shittier compared to the Walsh Group’s hotel. Perhaps this hotel is just a front for a money- laundering service.”
Betty started mocking the manager with her arms folded in front of her chest.
At that moment, the manager’s expression had already gone stormy.
The guests checking into KS World Hotel were usually polite and respectful. It had been a long time since the manager last saw someone as rude and unreasonable as Betty.
“Ms Walsh, it’s inappropriate of you to slander KS World Hotel’s reputation and humiliate my employee After all, we have yet to investigate this matter and uncover the truth.”
The newcomer’s cool voice was very pleasing to the ears.
Everyone was surprised upon hearing the voice. They turned around at the same time, only to see a beautiful woman in a white suit.
Alyssa walked toward Betty and the manager with a stoic expression. The way she strutted made her seem even more domineering.
Betty’s friends were stunned by what they saw.
“Why are you here?” Betty looked shocked as well. But she soon eyed Alyssa up and down in disgust.
Alyssa’s suit was personally tailored for her. Her high heels came from a luxury brand too. Even her sapphire earrings, which sparkled under the light, looked expensive. Overall, Alyssa’s current attire made her look like she was also an heiress.
The crowd stared at Alyssa in surprise. Where did she come from? Her beauty was breathtaking, to say the least.
Meanwhile, Betty looked like an ugly hag when standing beside Alyssa.
At that moment, Jeremy and Xavier walked into the hotel lobby.
He noticed his ex¨Cwife, who had gone missing for almost a week, was there. His heart skipped a beat while his eyes glinted in delight.
Jeremy stared at the beautiful woman as though he was under a spell.
“Mr. Walsh, that’s Madam Allison!”
Xavier looked very excited at first. But his expression soon changed. “Huh? Ms. Betty is there as well. There’s a crowd around her and Madam Allison. Did something happen?”
Jeremy had a bad feeling when he noticed Betty in the lobby. He was about to approach them when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Hold on Let’s observe the situation first.”
When the housekeeper saw Alyssa arriving at the scene, she felt so upset that she burst into tears.
**M¨CMs. Alyssa…”
“Oh? So you’re the manager of this hotel, huh? That’s unexpected.” Betty’s lips curled into a smirk.
“Is that so? I never felt that way. In fact, my life is a lot better than before.”
Alyssa cocked an eyebrow in response. Even though she was barely smiling, her beauty was enough to enchant everyone. “At least I’m living like an actual human being now.”
Her words drifted into Jeremy’s ear.
His throat tightened slightly in response. All he felt was frustration.
What did that woman mean by that? Was she complaining about the life she led during the three- year marriage?
Jeremy felt that he treated Allison very well other than the fact that he didn’t love her.
When she was still living at Seaview Manor, she enjoyed all the luxuries money could give. The housekeepers there served Allison well, and no one caused her any trouble.
Heck, Jeremy even gave her a supplementary credit card. He was never one to skimp out on money, after all.
Allison never used that card in her purchases over the past three years. Still, her life as the Walsh family’s young madam was much better than her life as a medical aide in the nursing home.
How dare Allison say such things in public! She made it sound like she had gone through many hardships and torment!
The more Jeremy thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes started to become bloodshot as he gritted his teeth tightly.
“Tch! You sure are stubborn, huh? Since you’re the manager of this hotel, I’ll be straightforward. Your hotel needs to provide me with a solution regarding this incident today.”
Betty continued haughtily, “Either you compensate me with a necklace which is the same as the missing one. It’s not that expensive, honestly. It’s over 200 thousand dollars, give or take.
“Or, you can have the cops arrest this thief. As the hotel manager, you’ll have to publicly apologize to me. Money’s not an issue. The thing is, I find it difficult to forgive and forget.”
Betty flipped her curls while rolling her eyes in disdain.
There was no way she’d admit in front of everyone that Allison was her former sister¨Cin¨Claw. That would be very humiliating for her.
Besides, this was the perfect opportunity to push that country bumpkin around. After all, Allison was the one who showed off in the charity auction some time ago. She was nothing without her identity as Jonah’s lover. That was why Betty intended to trample all over her while she could.
“Mr. Walsh, Ms. Betty is bullying Madam Allison! Xavier never liked Betty from the start. So, he couldn’t help but worry about Allison.
“Be patient.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very curious about his ex¨Cwife.
After all, he didn’t know what Allison was like at work. Jeremy only remembered her as a humble housewife.
Managing a hotel was equivalent to working in the hospitality industry. Everyone knew just how had appointed her as the hotel manager.
“Ms. Walsh, you can lodge a police report immediately since your missing necklace is worth over 200 thousand dollars. If you truly want compensation, we can call the police for you. After all, the sooner we call them the higher the chances of finding your necklace.”
Alyssa continued, “Once the police arrive at the hotel, every employee in this hotel will cooperate with them in their investigation, including me. I’ll provide them with the surveillance footage and the employees’ belongings. The police can search through them as long as they have a searching warrant.”
She remained calm and collected.
The crowd began to murmur.
“She’s right! That woman should’ve called the cops right away! What’s the use of causing a ruckus here without doing that in the first place?”
think she forgot where she left her necklace. That’s why she’s just kicking up a fuss over nothing.”
Betty was so furious that her face turned red. “What’s the use of having the police investigate the hotel? That thief must have stashed my necklace somewhere else!”
“I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal your necklace!” The housekeeper’s eyes became bloodshot due to rage. Her body kept trembling as well.
“Our hotel is fully equipped with surveillance cameras which provide high¨Cquality live feed in all common areas besides the restrooms, the shower rooms, and the staff rooms.
“Plus, I’ve already ordered all employees of the housekeeping department to stay in this hotel the moment I received the news. If any of them did steal your necklace, it’d still be in this hotel. The culprit wouldn’t have time to stow the necklace elsewhere.”
Alyssa fished her phone out and waved it casually. “Also, I called the police when I was on my way here. They’ll be here in about ten minutes.”
She added, “Once the police are done wrapping up the case, I’ll gladly apologize to you in public.”
Alyssa’s speech was flawless, to say the least.
“Madam Allison is amazing! Her way of dealing with this incident is perfect!” Xavier praised excitedly. He was on the verge of becoming Allison’s biggest fan.
Jeremy glanced at Xavier coldly. But he couldn’t help but feel captivated by Allison’s performance.
