The Royale Hotel.
"Mr Reed, here is ten million yuan. The rest is up to you."
"This drink is for you, from me and my daughter."
The food and drinks had been served for a while in the room. After some small talk, James Logan handed over the ten million yuan in cash. They then raised their glasses to toast.
In front of them, a young man dressed in a black suit smiled warmly.
"Mr. Shen, you can rest assured. With my relationship with Gerald Wayne, I, Kenneth Reed will definitely take care of everything that concerns your Logan Group." Kenneth Reed said.
"I have known Gerald's father for many years, so it's natural for me to help him out with petty issues like this" he added.
Kenneth Reed's words made Gerald Wayne's face light up.
"Haha... Yvonne, since Mr Kenneth said so, you can be assured that everything would be fine soon"
Seeing that Gerald had such a strong relationship with the other party, the worries of Yvonne Logan and her father finally disappeared completely.
"By the way, Gerald, who is this young lady?"
After laughing, Kenneth Reed looked at Sara Owen, who had been silent and drinking her wine with her head down.
Kenneth Reed had noticed Sara Owen since he entered the room. After all, she was stunningly beautiful, especially with her pure and elegant temperament, it was hard not to notice her.
Gwen Ryder took the opportunity to take over the conversation.
"Mr Reed, this is my and Yvonne's best friend, Sara Owen. She has a Ph.D. from the Nollywood Film Academy and is still single."
"I wonder if Mr Reed knows any suitable single men around him that he could introduce to my friend"
"Gwen....." Sara Owen next to her glared at Gwen Ryder as if blaming her for being too talkative.
"Hahaha..."
"No problem. Miss Owen is naturally beautiful, she can choose her boyfriend as she wishes.Am also available"
Kenneth Reed smiled.
"That's great! Thank you so much, Mr Reed" Gwen exclaimed, and Yvonne Logan also felt relieved.
If her best friend could marry into the Reed family, then they could also benefit from it.
Creak!
Just as everyone was chatting happily, the door of the room suddenly opened.
A waiter walked in, apologizing.
"Gentlemen, I'm so sorry for disturbing your meal but I have just received orders that a VIP will be arriving tonight and we need to clear the room immediately to receive them. So I beg that you all leave as soon as possible"
What?
Gerald Wayne and others' faces immediately turned dark.
Their dinner had just begun, and the food had not even been served yet, and they were being asked to leave?
"Where is your manager?"
"Let your manager come out and see me!"
"You claim to be one of the top three high-end hotels in the city, and this is how you treat your guests?"
Gerald Wayne shouted angrily.
This dinner was arranged by him for the Logan family, and the location was also chosen by him.
Now that something had gone wrong, Gerald Wayne naturally couldn't bear it.
James Logan was also very angry and questioned the waiter in a stern voice.
"They are asking for a favor tonight right. If we get kicked out before finishing our meal, it would be a huge embarrassment, won't it? Can't your manager give us some face?"
"Sorry, but we have no choice. We receive orders from higher-ups and we must implement the orders. So could you all pls leave" insisted the waiter, urging them to leave.
Frustrated, Gerald Wayne and his companions tried to reason with the waiter, but to no avail.
Finally, Kenneth Reed spoke up.
"Tell the manager of this hotel,, that I Kenneth Reed from the Reed family is dining here. Ask him if he dares to drive me out" he said, his tone haughty.
The waiter was clearly intimidated by Kenneth Reed's aura and quickly went out to report to his superiors.
Soon, the hotel manager arrived, apologized to them, and whispered something in kenneth Reed's ear.
Kenneth's face suddenly turned pale.
"Fine, I'll cooperate with you" he said, and ordered his crew to leave with him.
James Logan and his group, who had been making things difficult for the waiter, were confused.
"What happened tonight? Who was the important person that even you had to give up your seat?" they asked Kenneth Reed.
"Don't ask. All I can say is that it's someone you can't afford to offend. I have to go now. You guys can go back to your various enterprises and wait for further instructions" Kenneth Reed replied before leaving with his money.
However, James Logan and his group remained at the hotel entrance, enjoying the excitement.
Outside the Royale Hotel, many guests were asked to leave. At the same time, some staff members set up a cordon outside the gate, laid a red carpet, and the emcee and bodyguards stood on both sides of the red carpet. After all the preparations were made, some vehicles finally arrived at the end of the road. The first one to arrive was a black Maybach, and an old man got out of the car.
"Samuel Reed?. It's Mr Reed?" James Logan was surprised, his eyes widened.
This old man was a big shot in Orange county city, and he rarely appeared in public after retiring. James Logan didn't expect to meet him here. Soon after Samuel Reed got out of the car, another luxury car arrived. It was a Bentley continental.
This time, a man and a woman got out of the car. The woman was in military uniform, with five golden stars on both of her shoulders, and she had a commanding presence. She was a female general!
The man, on the other hand, was dressed casually, wearing sneakers, and looked a bit rustic. However, he was quite handsome, with a high nose bridge, sharp eyes, and a tall figure.
Yvonne Logan suddenly snapped out of her reverie.
Wait a minute...why does he look familiar?
"This...this is..... Charles Wellington?!!!"
The moment she saw him, Yvonne Logan was dumbfounded.
Gwen Ryder's eyes were almost popping out of her head! They were far away from him last night and didn't get a good look. But today, they saw him very clearly.
"How.... how come.... how come he's here?" Gwen asked surprised.
Wasn't this Charles Wellington? What is he doing here?
"Why is he here?" James Logan looked like he had seen a ghost.
Melissa Quinton followed Samuel Reed in front, while Charles Wellington walked behind with Trevor and Louis, chatting casually.
Trevor and Louis were Melissa's bodyguards and naturally followed her closely.
"Did you two accidentally spill the beans about what happened yesterday?" Charles asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Charles.We won't tell General Quinton about how awesome you are at fighting without your permission" Trevor said and he and Louis laughed heartily.
"Okay, good. Just do well to remember that" Charles Wellington replied.
Ever since he found out that Melissa Quinton liked men who were good at fighting, Charles had been afraid of revealing his own skills.
Now he was annoyed with Melissa because he was afraid that if she found out, she would pester him to no end in the future. He hated trouble the most.
