Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bullied at the Hotel Pool: I Unleashed the Devil: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Noah Quinlan, my father-in-law, and I had planned to stay low-key, so we opted not to reveal our identities during check-in. We hadn't anticipated running into something like this, so in an instant, our pleasant mood was entirely spoiled.Having been a businessman for decades, Noah wasn't intimidated by the fool before him. He retorted dismissively, "Who do you think you are to order us around? You're the one who should get out of here! Your utter lack of manners is truly repulsive!"He then ignored the man fuming with rage and turned toward me, saying, "Let's keep swimming and forget about him, Connor. I'll accompany you to inquire with Zara regarding the nature of this matter once we return home."Freddie Lester turned beet red, incensed by our lack of response. He suddenly flashed a malicious grin, saying, "If that's what you want, so be it, then! You can just stay in the swimming pool since you like it so much in there! You'd better not even think about coming out today!"He th

I was so angered by Freddie's audacity that the veins on my forehead throbbed with rage. "I'm warning you—if Dad dies, not one of you is getting away with it once the police get here!"Freddie leisurely took a sip of red wine and said smugly, "You should cut the act. If you want to come up, all you have to do is just beg me. You were acting so tough earlier. Did you suddenly lose your nerve after learning that my wife is on her way?"Noah had a pre-existing heart condition, so between the intense fury of the day and the fact that he had inhaled water several times, his energy was completely spent. He was clearly in a state of severe physical distress.I bit my lip, realizing his safety was the only thing that mattered. I was ready to endure the humiliation and beg for help, but Noah caught my arm and said in a trembling voice, "I've never lowered myself for anyone, especially not for someone as pathetic as him. I'm fine, Connor. I won't spare Zara once she gets here. I know what i

Freddie pulled Zara into a tight, joyful embrace and whined affectionately, "What took you so long, Zara? You wouldn't believe how badly those two guys were just picking on me!"He then pointed to his swollen face. "Do you see this? That man hit me until my face was swollen. You need to get back at him for me—and also stay with me for a few days to make up for it."Zara looked at his face with distress, her voice laced with indignation while demanding, "Who did this to you? I'll make sure they pay dearly for it! You can also rest assured that I cleared my entire schedule for the next week just to be with you, Freddie."I couldn't believe that she was the same woman who had just hung up on me earlier—and also the same one who had been reluctant to leave last night, saying that she would miss me for a whole week during her so-called business trip. It had all been lies; her solemn pledges of devotion were utterly worthless.Freddie wrapped an arm around Zara's waist and led her over t

I figured Zara would have dropped Freddie off at the hotel by now and was on her way back to the hospital. I had to call twice before the line connected, only to hear Freddie's voice instead of hers. He scoffed and asked, "Why can't you just take a hint, you old fossil? You just can't stand to stay out of our business, can you?"I stated gravely, "I need to talk to Zara right now. I have an urgent matter that requires her attention."Just then, Noah had me put the call on speaker, and Freddie's voice came through. "Zara is in the shower right now. She just tried some new positions with me just now and had a great time. "How could you even hope to compete with me, Connor? You should just do yourself a favor and walk away before embarrassing yourself even further."I furrowed my brow and snarled, "I'm telling you one more time—get Zara on the phone right now. It's an urgent matter involving her father!"Freddie flashed a devious smile and said, "I'll check with her and see if she

I was instantly impressed after observing Raelynn for two days, impressed by Noah's discerning judgment. She was indeed a worthy successor to Noah's empire. She proved to be both brilliant and resolute, possessing firm principles and a steadfast character.I was more interested in the arts, but since I had been trained from childhood as the heir to the Simm family, I possessed considerable business acumen.It was because of that that Raelynn and I fell into a perfect rhythm at work almost immediately.In the meantime, Zara rushed back to her place. She was aware that Noah had revoked her inheritance, but she found the truth impossible to swallow. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea that Noah, who had no other children, would bypass her to hand his estate to someone else.She, however, had overlooked the fact that Noah detested infidelity above all else. She was well aware that Noah had suffered for life due to her mother's betrayal, yet she still committed the same mistake.
