A Crazy Night Novel

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.

“Help! Help me! Someone is trying to force himself on me!” Melanie screamed. Lyle wanted to cover her mouth but was too late.

The few men turned their heads in her direction after hearing her shrieks. Seeing a towering man restraining a woman struggling to escape, they could tell she was being coerced.

Dragging their luggage, those men hastily approached Melanie, whose eyes were gleaming with triumph.

For an instant, Christina felt the scene before her was all too familiar. Isn’t this the same despicable tactic Mrs. Lazuli used against me?

Focusing solely on Nathaniel, he eagerly introduced himself, “Mr. Hadley, my name is Hendrick Labarge. We met at the international business conference previously. You even asked me if I was willing to collaborate with Hadley Corporation to provide construction materials.”

After that day, Nathaniel had given no response, causing Hendrick to lose sleep and be haunted by the empty promise made by Nathaniel. 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.
