TimeNovelThis hotel belonged to the Hamiltons, though they kept a low profile by appointing an unrelated person as the hotel manager.
Lucas had a good relationship with this exact manager and assumed the hotel was privately owned by him. He never questioned it and rented a long-term suite. Over the years, nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe frequently brought women here, and the manager ensured absolute discretion, earning Lucas' trust in the process. Over time, Lucas let his guard down completely.
He hadn't seen Evelyn since his public fallout with the Hamilton family at the police station. He had dispatched several of his men to gather intel at the Hamilton manor, only to learn that Daniel had placed Evelyn under house arrest. The exact location, however, remained a mystery.
Even though he wanted to send his men to the manor to rescue Evelyn, the sheer number of the Hamilton family's bodyguards and local forces protecting the estate made him hesitate. Consequently, all he could do was wait for Evelyn to reach out to him.
When she finally did, he drove straight to the Hamilton manor to pick her up without a moment's hesitation. Lucas thought that once he got Evelyn out, they could finally spend sttogether. Little did he know that his long-awaited bliss cwith a nasty surprise lurking in the shadows.
The room was crowded, and none of his bodyguards could be seen. Lucas called out several times, but no one answered. It hit him then that his men must've been subdued by the Hamilton family's bodyguards.
Now that he was completely at Daniel's mercy, he had no choice but to negotiate with him. "Don't you think you're going a little too far here, Mr. Hamilton? We're both men of stature. How am I supposed to hold my head up after this?" The scar on his face stretched grotesquely as he frowned. If not for the fact that he was stark naked beneath the blanket, he would've leaped up and punched Daniel in the face.

Lucas was used to throwing his weight around in the business world, never bothering to respect anyone The last tBrad went to the police station to pick Nadine up, Lucas didn't even take him seriously. And now, he couldn't care less about Dániel standing before him.
Dressed in a steek black suit and a crisp white shirt, Daniel's hair was perfectly slicked back, not a strand out of place. Even though he had a few streaks of gray at his temples, they did nothing to diminish bis charm.
Had he been 20 years younger, his appearance would have rivaled Brad's, and he would have women falling for him left and right.
As soon as Lucas' words fell, Daniel burst out laughing. "Do you think you're a gentleman? You've been sneaking around with someone else's wife all this time. Sure,haven't done much with Evelyn, but she's my wife. Yet, you've been sleeping with her for years! Is that the gentlemanly thing to do?"
That old windbag, Lucas, was always spouting nonsense about honor, but in reality, he was just a hypocrite. If he were a true gentleman, he would never have had an affair with Evelyn.
The reporters, eager not to miss a single thing, pointed their cameras directly at Daniel's face, snapping away furibusly. The reporters in the room had no tto process the bombshell Daniel had dropped on them.
This was gold. Only a fool wouldn't film this. As for questions? Whom cared about those? In this day and age, it was all about the views!
