Chapter 12: 12: His Fiancée is so lucky
The temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees.
A silly Chester said, "You've lost her, Justin."
Justin slowly raised his head, his dark eyes a discomfiting sight. He slowly said, "I can see that very well."
Chester instantly shut up.
Lawrence glanced at Chester and sighed mentally. The situation in the Hunt family was so complicated, and everyone there was an elite whose thoughts people could hardly fathom. How did they produce such a simpleton?
He coughed and said, "Mr. Hunt, why would she suddenly go offline at this critical moment?"
Was there a traitor among them?
However, Justin was personally taking part and had suddenly ambushed her this time. Only the three of them knew about it.
If it wasn't because Anti had received last-minute news, then… it could only be a coincidence.

The hotel was very efficient.
Half an hour later, Nora was already in the study of the new suite.
After she successfully blocked an external attack, she called Solo. The other party spoke first. "Sorry. Mr. Hunt found some top-class hacker from somewhere and found information on you from me. At the moment, he's only found out that you're staying at Hotel Finest, though. Your exact location hasn't been exposed."
Nora gave an "Mm" and said, "Be careful next time."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Nora got up. When she passed by the second bedroom and saw that Cherry was already asleep, she walked back to the master bedroom.
After such a delay, she was already sleepy to the extreme.
Two minutes later, the second bedroom door suddenly opened.
Cherry's head poked out from within. After confirming that her mother was asleep, she gently closed the door, took out her cell phone, and logged in to the game.
Chesty said, "You're finally back, leader. What were you doing just now?"
Cherry curled her lip. "The idiot next door suddenly demanded that we change rooms."
"F*ck! Which idiot is that? How dare they bully our leader! May he choke to death on a glass of water!"
Chester didn't think much of the incident even after cursing.
After all, one would always meet all kinds of strange neighbors when staying in a hotel.
He asked, "Didn't you say yesterday that you're back in California after living abroad all this time? I've come all the way to California to look for you. Where are you staying now? The top-class suite next door just so happened to be vacant. It's on me!"
They didn't find Anti in the end, and it was empty anyway.
He took a sip of water from his glass.
Right away, he heard 'sweetcherry' scolding him. "Get into position, Chesty. Even the monsters in the river are better than you in getting into their positions!"
It was only after she scolded him that she replied, "I'm staying at Hotel Finest."
"Pft!"
Chester choked hard and started to cough violently. After getting over it, he eagerly said, "I'm also in Hotel Finest. I'll come to you!"
"Okay."
Cherry and Chesty had known each other for over half a year. They got along very well and were already good friends.
They had already planned to meet when she got back to the States, so she agreed as soon as Chester said that.
Chester asked eagerly, "Which room are you in?"
Cherry was about to tell him the room number when she suddenly thought of something. Instead, she said, "Not tonight, my mom is asleep. Let's do it tomorrow instead."
Chesty suddenly laughed. "Everyone says that you sound like a little girl only because you're using a voice changer and that you're, in fact, a dirty middle-aged man. Can you tell me whether you're male or female?"
Cherry grinned. "It's a secret."
California was in the west of the States, and the humidity in the air was just right. It was mild in winter and dry in summer. With the curtains in the room closed, the room was completely dark, which made it very suitable for sleeping.
It was already in the middle of the day when Nora finally slowly opened her eyes. She checked the time—it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Cherry and Mrs. Lewis had already had lunch, so she simply called for takeout.
At the same time at the hotel entrance.
With a complicated look, Angela watched Anthony hurriedly enter the lobby. She clenched her fists.
During the past few days, Anthony's attitude toward her whenever she called had been very perfunctory, and all he asked about was Idealian Pharmaceuticals each time.
A woman's sixth sense told her that something must be wrong.
Thus, she had trailed Anthony early this morning. Little did she expect that she would be here.
Hotel Finest was one of the most expensive and upscale places in California.
Angela quietly followed Anthony in and saw him turning into the bar on the first floor.
He took out a wad of cash, handed it to several waiters, and instructed softly, "…You know what you're supposed to do, right? Act according to my signals tonight!"
"Yes, sir."
After they dispersed, Anthony took a deep breath nervously. Then, he lowered his head and started to draft a text message.
'Hello, Miss Anderson. Sorry if this is a little sudden, but I got your number from the bar on the first floor. I'd like to invite you to the bar downstairs at 8 pm.'
After sending the text message, he raised his head and looked at the setup in front of him with satisfaction.
He didn't know how he had offended the pretty woman last time, but she would definitely fall for him tonight. After all, no woman would be able to resist a romantic move like this.
Seeing that she didn't respond even after a long while after he sent the message, Anthony thought for a while and sent another text message to his friends: "Eight o'clock tonight at Hotel Finest's bar in the lobby. Be there or be square."
He had reserved the whole place and was asking his friends to come over and cheer for him. However, he didn't realize that he had accidentally also selected Angela's name when he mass-sent the message.
After he left, the waiters whispered among themselves.
"What's Mr. Gray intending to do?"
"He's prepared such a huge surprise. He must be intending to propose to his fiancée, right?"
"His fiancée is so lucky…"
