INSTA MILLIONAIRE

Chapter 31: (Why Was She Let Go?)

[Chapter 31]

Everyone in the hall was dumbstruck when Manager Woodsworth agreed with Alex. Did he think that his reasoning made sense and that it was better than Rose had broken the statue because certain patrons might object to its origins?

As manager of the Berkeley Hotel, Sam Woodsworth naturally had a strongly-honed intuition. He could tell that Alex was protecting Rose, so he played along with him and pretended to agree.

"Thank you for bringing that to my attention. You have prevented what could have become a great problem for our hotel!"

"Then do you still want Rose to pay for the damages?" Alex asked deliberately.

"Of course not. It's not necessary. I should be thanking this young lady," Sam said as he smiled and turned to look at Rose. "Miss, please forgive my rudeness just now. Thank you for helping our hotel avoid a loss. On behalf of the hotel, how about I give you a reward of ten thousand dollars?"

Sam thought, Does Mr Ambrose like this girl? Because I might have caused a big problem earlier by offending her.

The other people's jaws dropped. Rose had broken a million-dollar statue, but Sam didn't want to pursue the matter anymore. He even wanted to give her money!

What kind of logic was that? They couldn't understand it at all.

Rose, of course, didn't want to ask for money. She could only stare blankly in disbelief.

"There's no need to pay her. I think this lady doesn't care about the money. All right, it's getting late. Now that the matter has been resolved, let's go back to sleep." Alex said as he smiled.

After he finished speaking, the crowd started to disperse. Before Alex left, he lightly patted Sam's shoulder and smiled at him.

This made Sam happy. He had been worried that he hadn't handled things well enough, but he was very satisfied now to see that Mr Ambrose wasn't angry.

Rose grabbed her clothes from the room she had been planning on sharing with Zane and moved in with Suzan, while Joe went to get another room for himself.

"Rose, if it hadn't been for Alex today, you would be in big trouble!" Suzan said. She and Rose were lying on the bed. Rose still had a lingering fear in her heart as she hugged Suzan tightly.

"It's so strange. A pretty girl like you begged Manager Woodsworth for so long, yet he refused to reason with you. Then Alex came over, said a few words, and everything was suddenly resolved," Suzan pondered. "It's over a million dollars—do you think Alex knows Manager Woodsworth?"

"How could he possibly know him? It's not like you don't know Alex's background. I think it might be that Manager Woodsworth is superstitious," Rose said. "My dad's a businessman, and he's superstitious in everything he does. I think Alex's words fooled Mr Woodsworth and made him feel afraid because of his superstitions. Today's matter has nothing to do with Alex really," she added.

"No matter what, he helped you today. So don't treat him so badly in the future," Suzan replied, as she didn't believe Rose's words. There was a huge flaw in Rose's reasoning. Even she wasn't fooled by Alex, so how could he deceive Manager Woodsworth? she thought.

"Let's talk about it later. He just got lucky this time," Rose said, while she still thought poorly of Alex.

The next day, Rose and Suzan woke up early and got ready to go out to buy her aunt some towels.

As Sam was walking in the corridor, a pair of playful young men hit a clock that was mounted on the wall, which caused all the clock's parts to fall out.
