After Jose muttered those things under his breath, he left the room.

Autumn was still hiding in the wardrobe, not daring to make a sound or come back out.

While that was happening, Marilyn was still leading Harold around the ballroom, chatting and collecting business cards.

Neither knew that people had sneaked into their rooms to set up traps for them.

Outside Grandeur Hotel, Lacie Jilsen, the celebrity, was resentfully staring at Marilyn's room.

Right then, one of the hotel staff exited the building and entered Lacie's car.

“Kornel, how did things go?” Lacie asked the other person.

As it turned out, the one dressed like the hotel staff was Kornel Mayfair, Lacie's feminine manager.

“Are you doubting my capability? I released the odorless and colorless gas into the vents. No one is going to notice anything unless they use a machine to test the air,” Kornel gleefully replied.

Harold did not dwell much on that. He nodded, finished his wine, and stood up to return to his room.

Per Marilyn's request, after Harold returned to his room, he went into Marilyn's room to fill up a tub of hot water for her.

Right as he was testing the temperature of the water, he sensed something amiss.

His body had begun to heat up after he tested the water temperature.
