Chapter 301

“Since you’re not leaving, suit yourself,” Michael shrugged. He had his men bring over a couch and plopped down at the entrance like a stubborn bouncer. “But today, our hotel is closed to the public, so we might as well get comfortable waiting here.”

“You idiot,” Natasha snapped, her temper flaring. “Looks like I’ll need to teach you a lesson, since you think I’m bluffing.”

Andrew chuckled. “Since Mr. Rhodes seems to enjoy playing concierge so much, let’s not disturb his new career choice.”

Michael’s face twitched as he suppressed his rage while Andrew continued taunting him with concierge jokes, making the humiliation almost unbearable. He had no choice, however—Finley was currently having a clandestine affair with Atlas’s mistress inside. Michael had to guard the hotel well; the consequences of exposure would be devastating. However, satisfying Finley would secure Michael's involvement with the Hidden Dragons organization.

Andrew returned to the car with Natasha and ordered everyone to withdraw.

“Finley and Yvonne are right inside! Are we really going to let this golden opportunity slip away?” Natasha and Dylan protested.

“Who said we’re letting it go?” Andrew replied calmly.

Natasha and Dylan exchanged confused looks. They had withdrawn their people—wasn’t that the definition of letting it go?

Andrew smiled slyly. “If Michael won’t let us in, we’ll simply send someone he wouldn’t dare stop.”

“Come on, darling. Stop being mysterious and just tell us,” Natasha urged impatiently. “Michael is so reckless he even dared to stop me. Who else could possibly make a difference?”

Andrew’s smile widened. “You’d be surprised. For instance… Atlas!”

Dylan perked up. “Mr. Lloyd, are you suggesting we tip off Atlas right away? Let him catch them in the act?”

Andrew replied, “Exactly. Instead of wasting energy trying to dig up dirt on Finley, why not go for a live show? Let Atlas catch them red-handed—that’ll be more effective than anything else we could do.”

Natasha stared for a moment before breaking into delighted laughter. “Darling, I’m discovering you’re absolutely wicked, and I love it!”

Chapter 401

Meanwhile, in the Northern District, Atlas was meeting with important guests—Aspen and Christina.

“I’m very pleased with your proposal, Ms. Stevens,” Atlas said cheerfully as he signed the cooperation agreement. “This makes our partnership official.”

Aspen smiled radiantly. “Excellent insight, Mr. Giordano. With your influence combined with the Bridgefields’ Stevens family’s backing, none of the other families in Jayrodale can compete with us.”

Atlas was in high spirits, but added, “Of course, according to our agreement, Ms. Stevens, while you can freely conduct business in my Northern District territory, that 150-million-dollar investment needs to come through quickly.”

Aspen simply made a phone call and smiled confidently. “Mr. Giordano, it’s already done—the 150 million has been transferred.”

“Ms. Stevens, you handle business more decisively than most men,” Atlas praised. “The Stevens family has produced two remarkable young ladies who truly prove women can match any man.”

Aspen playfully shook a finger. “No, you should say we don’t just match men—we surpass them.”

Having just secured a massive investment, Atlas was happy to flatter her. He chuckled and praised, “With ambition like that, Ms. Stevens, your achievements will certainly outshine countless men!”
