Chapter 230

Standing at the door was a lady. She was wearing black seven-inch stilettos, a white shirt paired with a formal skirt suit. Her long hair hung straight from her head to her waist. She wore black-framed glasses, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she stared at the crowd at the door.

“Who are you guys looking for?” the lady asked.

Dylan glanced behind her. “Isn’t Bruce here?”

“You’ve got the wrong room,” the lady responded coldly, but still managed a polite smile.

“But our check-in record shows that the guest is Bruce. Are you his…” the manager queried her.

The lady glanced at the manager’s badge, “Does your hotel always disturb guests like this? Tracy, could you double-check with the front desk? We just checked in ten minutes ago.”

“This…” The manager was somewhat taken aback, turning to look at Kieran.

“Go check,” Kieran told the manager, then gave Dylan a look.

Dylan got the message and left with the manager. As soon as they entered the elevator, he immediately called the general manager of the hotel, instructing him to lock down the entire hotel and monitor everything.

After Tracy called the front desk and confirmed, she turned to Kieran apologetically, “Mr. Hernandez, Bruce was indeed staying here earlier, but he checked out half an hour ago. Miss Lisa checked in ten minutes ago.”

“Do you guys have any other business?” The lady named Lisa politely nodded at Kieran.

Suddenly, a magnetic voice came from inside the room, “What’s going on, Lisa?”

Before Lisa could answer, a man wearing a black shirt and light-colored gold-rimmed glasses came out of the room. He was wearing white cloth slippers, his short hair looking neat and tidy.

He walked up to Julie and Kieran, then stopped.

Julie’s eyes darkened. She looked at the man, asking in disbelief, “Kyle?”

Kyle also appeared taken aback that Julie was at the door. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then a look of joy appeared on his face, “Joyce?”

“It’s me. Kyle, what are you doing here?” Julie looked inside the room, as if searching for something.

Kyle glanced at Lisa, “You can go back in.”

Lisa gave Julie and Kieran a look before turning to leave.

“I’m guessing you’re Mr. Hernandez? We met years ago. Do you remember me?”

He looked mature and cultured, each word he uttered carried the air of a gentleman. The
