Chapter 31 The Guest In Room Eight
On the top floor of the hotel, a slender figure stood in front of the big French window. Wearing a light gray casual suit and holding a glass of red wine in his hand, Charles casually tasted it. His eyes had been staring at the figure below. When he saw Albert's intimate behavior with the girl beside her, his eyes inexplicably flashed with coldness.
Edmund pushed the door open and saw Charles drinking again. The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Bro, be easy on your stomach."
Edmund didn't have the courage to take the wine back from his hand, so he could only stare at him with resentment.
Charles looked back at him coldly.
Edmund's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but shiver and dared not look at Charles.
Did he do anything wrong today?
Charles drank up the wine in his glass, picked up the grapes beside and casually put them into his mouth.
"Who are the people down there?"
Edmund looked in the direction of Charles's gaze and was confused.
"They must be the students who came to the city for a competition. Why are you interested in them?"
Edmund looked at him strangely. Charles was way too cold-blooded.
Except for Charles's grandma, no one in the Gu family could attract Charles's attention. How could he pay attention to a group of ordinary high school students? "Well," said Charles, squinting at the figure of Albert, "find a way to get his room next to mine."
Edmund was flabbergasted.
"What? Are you kidding me?
With a cold smile on his face, Charles asked, "What do you think?"
Edmund felt a chill on his back and waved his hand, "I'm on it."
Although Edmund said so, he was muttering in his heart.
What's wrong with Charles?
The group of people came in with their luggage. The manager of the hotel immediately arranged rooms for them.
Albert stared at the door card in her hand and saw the number on it. It was obvious that it was not on the same floor as Rena's and others'.
Rena also noticed that and couldn't help asking, "Is it possible that the hotel staff made a mistake? Would you like to change it?"
"I'll be fine." Albert put the room card in her pocket casually.
It was not a big deal.
In the hall of the hotel, Edmund was sitting on the sofa, holding a magazine in his hand, but staring at Albert.
Albert was over 1.7 meters tall and wore somewhat old clothes. Her face was very outstanding, especially her eyes, which were very attractive.
How could Charles know this teenager? And he seemed to pay much attention to this person.
The hotel manager stood beside him humbly and said respectfully, "Mr. Su, everything is ready."
Edmund waved his hand, "Keep an eye on that boy. Don't let him disturb the guest in Room Eight." The hotel manager nodded hurriedly.
This hotel belonged to the Su family, and the manager only knew that the Su family attached itself to the Gu family. Except the people from the Gu family, who else could make the young master of the Su family be so cautious?
But they didn't expect that the man was exactly the mysterious master of Gu family, Charles.
The phone next to him suddenly rang. Looking at the name on it, Edmund rubbed between his eyebrows helplessly and waved his hand to let the manager go. Then he answered the phone.
"Eddie." A gentle and elegant voice came through the phone. It was Edmund's sister, Sonya Su.
Edmund's eyebrows throbbed, and although a little impatient, he politely asked, "Sonya, what can I do for you?"
"Are you ...in Xihai City?"
Edmund answered casually, and then heard Sonya tentatively asked: "Then ...is the master of the Gu clan with you?"
Edmund's face darkened and said in a low voice, "Who told you that?"
The news about Charles was not leaked out. Where did Sonya get the news?
"I was just guessing. Why are you so nervous?" said Sonya with soft laughter
Edmund was not deceived by her pretended relaxed tone.
Strictly speaking, he didn't have a good relationship with Sonya. Sonya's mother used to be his father Vincent Su's mistress. After his mother's death, Vincent took her and Sonya back home. Only then did Edmund know that he had a half-sister.
Edmund once wanted to get along

well with his sister until he saw Sonya beating and scolding the servants behind everyone's back and blamed her own mistakes on the servant. But in front of Vincent, she still looked like a good girl. And then Edmund realized that his sister was not as gentle and kind as she looked, so he naturally distanced himself from her.
It could be said that the Su family survived by attaching to the Gu family. In the eyes of the Su family, Charles was like a God. Sonya heard about Charles by chance, and somehow she was also interested in him. She inquired about him from time to time, as if she wanted to get close to Charles.
Edmund knew her very well.
It was just that his father loved Sonya and her mother very much, so that Edmund would not be at odds with her. Sonya could do whatever she wanted. If she could hook up with Charles, it would also be her ability.
With a mocking smile at the corners of his mouth, Edmund said, "Sonya, how dare you make a wild guess about the master of the Gu clan? Do you think you can do whatever you want with the support of Vincent?"
Both of Sonya and Vincent thought too simply of Charles.
Indeed, Vincent also wanted to get in touch with Charles through Sonya, instead of handing over all the power to Edmund.
In other words, Vincent loved Sonya more than he cared about Edmund.
As a family, Edmund wouldn't frame up either Vincent or Sonya for the poor father's love. But if they wanted to ask for trouble, he wouldn't stop them.
There was a sudden silence on the phone. After a while, Sonya said cowardly, "Eddie, you misunderstood me. I just..."
"I don't care what you think." Edmund didn't want to talk to her anymore and said directly, "I have something else to do. That's it."
After hanging up the phone, Edmund collapsed on the sofa, looking at the documents in his hands, with a mocking expression on his face.
The Su family was a family of
medicine. They didn't think about how to develop the family business so that they could stand still in the Imperial City, but they always wanted to hook up with Charles and

live under the protection of the Gu
family.
Edmund casually threw the document aside and cursed in his heart, 'Stupid...'
Carrying her bag on her back, Albert took the elevator to the top floor. Looking at the number on the room card, she found the Room Seven.
The rooms on the top floor were all luxurious suites, and the whole room was mainly in light gray. All the decorations were simple and high-end. Albert dropped her schoolbag and went into the bathroom. Simba came out of her schoolbag and looked around curiously. Its little body twisted and walked towards the balcony outside.
"Meow!"
When Charles was standing on the balcony, he heard the sound.
He turned his head slightly and saw a white kitten. D
