Chapter 75
Harold was about to give a vague explanation to gloss things over when Isabella opened the room door from the inside. She poked her head out and interrupted with a warning, "Harold, you shut up!"
"It's getting late, so we should get some rest too."
Seeing as their daughter had finally opened the room door, Pauline and Benson tactfully returned to their own room.
When Harold made to walk in Isabella's direction, she instantly stopped him. "Stay right there! You're sleeping on the couch tonight."
With that, she slammed the door shut again.
"What..."
Harold was speechless. However, when he thought about it, sleeping on the couch for a night in exchange for a kiss seemed pretty worth it.
While Harold was tidying the couch, Brittany was blocking Jon's way outside the Sullivan family's mansion.
Staring at Brittany, who wasn't giving way, he implored, "Ms. Xenos, please let me off, will you? I really didn't know Mr. Campbell was your ex-boyfriend. If I did, I definitely wouldn't have the guts to mess with you even if you allowed me to."
Previously, he wanted to obtain Brittany and even had the intention to get her in bed. Nevertheless, such thoughts disappeared at that instant when he was at the movie theater.
Jon had just left the movie theater when Brittany called him and said she wanted to meet him. He was so scared out of his wits that he didn't even dare to go home.
It was only after a long time did he then sneak home. Yet, Brittany had been waiting for him.
"The Sullivan family is capable of everything. You guys can even resolve the issue of a ban from a platinum member of Paradise Hotel. Don't tell me you're afraid of a broke b*stard who has a little bit of strength?" Brittany asked, looking at the fright that was still lingering on his face.
"A broke b*stard who has a little bit of strength? You were with him for such a long time; don't you know his identity?" Jon asked puzzledly.
"What identity can he have? He's just a former soldier and a loser who only knows how to sweet talk others!"
His words only caused Brittany to feel even more confused. Could Jon have some misconceptions about that broke b*stard?
"Mr. Campbell must have his reasons for not revealing his identity to you. However, I can assure you that he's surely not what you're seeing right now. To put it simply, you've probably missed your chance of becoming a woman standing at the pinnacle of society." Jon paused and continued, "Also, the issue with your family wasn't resolved by my dad. The one who wants to ban the Xenos family is someone from the internal management of Paradise Hotel. Even if the Sullivan family is ten times more formidable than we are now, we still won't dare to be impudent in front of them!"
At that moment, Jon no longer had the nerve to claim credit for that matter anymore.
Brittany was beautiful indeed, and what was more, she was born with a certain charisma that could captivate men easily.
However, these were nothing compared to keeping his life.
"If it wasn't your dad, then who?" Brittany was shocked upon hearing what he said.
She even stopped wondering why Jon was so afraid of Harold and pushed the matter to the back of her mind.
"I'm not sure who helped you out on this either. Think about it yourself. Who else knows about your family's problem? All right, I won't say anything more. I'm going abroad tomorrow and will no longer bother you in the future. Goodbye!"
The moment he finished speaking, he practically fled into his house.
He wasn't sure of Harold's identity as well. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the spunk to say it when he saw the oblivious look on Brittany's face.
Since Mr. Campbell doesn't want Brittany to know his identity, then he must have his reasons.
In a daze, Brittany stood alone outside the Sullivan family's mansion.
