Upon hearing that, Melanie dropped her belongings and turned to run. Lyle anticipated her intention and swiftly dashed forward, catching up and restraining her.

At that moment, several men in business suits appeared in the hallway, casually chatting and looking for their room numbers. They paid no attention to the situation unfolding in room nine hundred and ninety- eight.

Melanie heard the voices and exerted all her strength, struggling to rush out the door. She fell onto the thick carpet. With her red silk nightgown disheveled and Lyle’s relentless pursuit, anyone who took in the scene would easily misunderstand what was happening.

He dreamed of doing business with Hadley Corporation, but one had to make an appointment in advance to meet with Nathaniel. Unfortunately, Hendrick was scheduled for a meeting with Nathaniel that would take place only half a year later.

Seeing that the matter seemed to have fizzled out, Hendrick had no choice but to give up.
