Wallace gulped as he couldn’t rebut that.
He might be able to retort if this was another person, but that was said by the president of Barrett Group.
As a man who possessed as much wealth as a country amassed, Timothy had the right to say that.
Mia clapped her hands and the security guards ran over immediately.
She ordered, “Escort this man out of here and ban him from any associations with us. We will never approve his request for any appointments.”
“Do you think I wanted to be here? It’s not like you’re the only hotel around here. My company isn’t that bad!”
Timothy growled, “Just a heads-up-your company will announce bankruptcy in a week.”
“But this is Nord City.” Wallace tried his best to stay calm.
Chapter 1101
Mia raised an eyebrow. “So, do you think the Lanes need one whole month to get rid of a useless piece of junk like you?”
Before the man could say a word, the security guard covered his mouth and dragged him out mercilessly.
Mia glanced at the surrounding guests calmly and said, “So sorry for the chaos. But I believe today’s business banquet is not a waste of time for all of you. “After all, other than the conflict just now, the earlier fight between Luna and Shelly must have provided everyone with much entertainment.”
Her straightforward words lightened the atmosphere.
Mia was the daughter of the Lane family. She had six protective brothers who doted on her.
If any of her brothers were present today, the rude man would have faced a consequence a hundred times worse than what he had faced earlier.
The overprotective brothers of the Lane family would do anything to defend their dear sister, Mia.
Mia said again, “Today’s banquet ends here. Feel free to contact me if anyone has any proposals for collaborations.”
“Ms. Lane, you’re too humble. We all have absolute confidence in a young and capable person like you.”
Mia nodded her head with a smile. Then, she stood at the entrance to bid farewell to all the guests who attended today’s business banquet. She had not expected so many unforeseen circumstances to happen during the banquet.
Soon, over half the guests left.
But Timothy was still around, standing right next to her.
Seeing this scene, those who were tactful did not ask any questions. After all, this was none of their business.
But many sighed inwardly. Timothy was Mia’s ex-husband, so their sons could never compare to him even if they were born again.
Raymond came up to Mia and said politely, “Ms Lane, I’ll inform the security department about the earlier incident. Since the other party provoked you first, I’ll surely get back to you with a satisfactory answer.”
Mia’s smile grew wider as she said, “Thank you, Mr. Shelbert.”
“It’s just a small matter. You’re Jazzy’s close friend. Of course I have to help you.”
Then, Raymond added, “Jazzy’s mother has been unwell recently, so Jazzy wants to organize a banquet for her mother. But Aide Castle Hotel is fully booked. Could Ms. Lane please help to make some
¦«¦¯
arrangements?”
When Jasmine heard his words, the smile on her face froze. “Dad, how could you do this?”
After today’s incident, she thought her father would finally know of Luna’s true colors and realized that letting this woman return to the Shelbert family would do no good. She did not expect her father to ask about the banquet reservation using her mother’s name as an excuse.
Did this not show that he still wanted Luna to remain in the Shelbert family?
Jasmine’s gaze reflected a hint of sarcasm.
Mia’s expression darkened. She was surprised that Raymond was still hoping to adopt Asher.
His earlier friendly gesture had a hidden motive.
Mia said courteously, “I’m sorry, Mr. Shelbert. I believe you know how strict Aide Castle Hotel’s reservation policy is. There’s nothing I can do about it.
“But I heard that you have made another banquet reservation previously. Why don’t you use it to organize the birthday banquet? I think this is the best way to go about it. I can design a theme for Mrs. Shelbert’s birthday for free
There was no way Mia would compromise her principles.
Raymond thought that if he did Mia a favor, she would help him with the hotel reservation.
However, even without Raymond’s help, Mia could solve the issue on her own. After all, the Lanes were no pushovers in Nord City.
Raymond felt embarrassed when Mia rejected him. “Ms. Lane, the Lanes have always been close to our family. Why wouldn’t you do us this small favor?”
“Mr. Shelbert, why can’t you organize the birthday party using the previous reservation you made here? Or is there something else more important than your wife’s birthday?” Mia retorted.
Jasmine remained silent while listening to the conversation. She knew what her father was trying to do.
When Raymond wanted to say more, Timothy stepped in and said, “Mr. Shelbert, please don’t make things difficult for her.”
Displeasure was written all over Timothy’s face. He did not know what was wrong with Raymond.
Mia had made it clear that she wouldn’t adjust the hotel reservations because of personal relationships.
How could Raymond force Mia right in front of him? Was Timothy invisible to Raymond or something?
Raymond recalled the scene where Timothy hit someone just now. He had always thought that Timothy became successful because of his family, but today, he discovered the dark side of this man. This realization made Raymond start to fear Timothy.
In the end, Raymond said nothing. He turned around and left the business banquet.
Meanwhile, Luna was limping at the side of the hall. She turned around and gazed at Timothy. But he fixed his eyes on Mia and did not look at anyone else.
Luna felt a tinge of sorrow in her heart. Sooner or later, she would prove to Timothy that she was better than Mia.
She would also take revenge for the humiliation she experienced today.
Jasmine stayed back and looked at Mia. “Thank you, Mia. I’ll treat you to a meal one day. I need to go now. Goodbye!”
Since Timothy was here, she did not want to be a third wheel.
“Okay, bye! See you another day.”
Mia felt that she should let Jasmine know some things about Luna.
She would never allow the woman who hurt her and almost killed her son to go unpunished.
Later, all the guests left.
The hall soon became quiet.
Mia knew that the man beside her had never left. Pretending not to see him, she talked to her secretary about what had happened today, including the incident involving Philip.
She was certain that someone had orchestrated this behind the scenes. That was why Philip dared to do such things openly.
She asked her secretary to get to the bottom of this matter so that it would not tarnish the hotel’s reputation.
Peyton nodded. “Okay, I’ll look into the matter carefully and reinforce the staff training.”
“And also, many things happened today. Remember to communicate with the reporters, telling them what they should and should not say. Do you understand?” Mia instructed.
Mis felt that the pretentious woman, Luna, oht have been the one who trouble since she was el t at the banquet toda
She had to take some precautions beforehand.
Peyton lifted his head. “Is there anything else, Ms. Mia?”
“Ya, there’s one more thing, but it slipped my mind. Let me try to recall it.”
Peyton was speechless. He was certain Mia was just trying to stall for time to avoid someone.
Standing where she was, Mia was lost in thought when she heard the footsteps of a man drawing near.
“Is there anything wrong?” Timothy asked in a low voice.
Mia paused for a moment after hearing Timothy’s voice. Why was he still around?
She turned to look at him. “Everything’s fine. It’s just that there are quite a few company affairs to be handled today.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“No, thanks. It’s getting late. Mr. Barrett, if there’s nothing else, you may leave,” Mia said.
Timothy grasped the meaning of her words. “I’m waiting for you to get off work,” he said bluntly.
Mia raised her brows. Didn’t Timothy know that she was chasing him away?
However, Timothy stood rooted to the spot, as though he did not understand what she just said.
