The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1088

If Susan couldn’t get into the gala, she wouldn’t be able to work her schemes.

Joshua believed this wasn’t just Susan acting on her own–it was an organized conspiracy at play.

Richard suppressed the burn of the whiskey in his mouth and, with earnestness, addressed Joshua, “At last night’s gala, I invited only acquaintances- people with both interest and means in the world of vintage collectibles. An amateur like Susan? I didn’t invite her at all. Upon investigation, I found that our hotel’s receptionist gave her the invitation and even provided a room key behind our backs. We’ve taken care of the receptionist.”

“What’s in it for a receptionist to do something like that for another woman?” Joshua asked, his expression darkening.

Joshua had been living abroad and seldom returned home, and each time he did, he encountered such incidents. He couldn’t help but suspect someone was scheming against him in the shadows.

“I’ve looked into it,” Richard continued. “Susan, though not a big name in the modeling scene, doesn’t hold back when it comes to her entourage. She even has a personal assistant, who happens to be the receptionist’s boyfriend. She’s been squeezing the poor guy, holding back three months’ worth of his salary, promising payment if he helped her pull off her little stunt this time.”

So, Susan’s assistant conspired with his girlfriend to secure Susan an invitation to the gala, and even Joshua’s room key.
