Levi was dumbstruck at the extent of Zoey’s jealousy.
She was even packing her stuff and getting ready to leave!
Fortunately for him, Iris arrived at that moment.
She was traumatized by her earlier experience and was scared to sleep alone tonight. That was why she had come to find Zoey.
Seems like the two of them are arguing over me.
Hastily fabricating a lie, she explained, “Zoey, please don’t misunderstand! I twisted my ankle, and it took me a lot of effort to convince him to carry me back home.”
Zoey relaxed. “Oh. Darling, I’m so sorry for wrongfully blaming you!”
Smiling, he replied, “Honey, you never have to worry. I’m not interested in this woman at all!”
“As if I would be interested in you!” Iris retorted.
Yet somehow, those words seemed wrong the moment they left her lips.
That night, the two women shared a bed while Levi slept in another room.
At the same time.
At Emperor Hotel, Phineas Robinson was busy hosting a very esteemed guest.
This guest came from the Lopez family and held a venerable position in the family.
Only someone from the main Robinson family had the rights to host this person.
It was none other than Wesley. He was here on behalf of the Lopez family for an event.
“Phineas, do you know who Nueve, Trey, and Levi are?” he asked curiously.
The other man replied, “Of course! Levi is currently the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce’s enemy number one!”
“How powerful are they?” Wesley pressed.
“Not that weak, but nothing compared to the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce. Why the sudden interest in these insignificant men?” Phineas wondered.
Wesley sighed. “Well, you know how my second uncle’s godson was killed here in North Hampton two days ago? These three are the culprits.”
Phineas nearly jumped out of his seat in shock. “What? Mr. Lopez’s godson was killed here in North Hampton? I thought his godson was Quentin Lane, the Devil of the underground boxing ring!”
Wesley sighed again. “Yeah. Quentin was supposed to be one of the best fighters out there, yet he still croaked. That’s why I’m asking you about those three men.”
“Well, I would say there’s nothing extraordinary about them. They probably used some sly tricks to kill off Lane. Does Mr. Lopez want revenge? I can help him!”
Wesley shook his head. “No! Quentin is Uncle’s favorite, and now that he’s dead, Uncle is way beyond furious. He vows to get revenge personally! I’m only here as a scout to find out some things for him. As for how we’re going to get revenge on Garrison, that will have to wait for Uncle’s arrival.”
“Mr. Lopez is coming to North Hampton? That would really shake things up!”
Just the thought of it had Phineas shuddering in fear.
Garrison has really done it this time! Of all the men he could have pissed off, he had to piss off the one with the title of Hades!
“Oh, by the way, Wesley, I’m not sure if you know this, but Levi Garrison is part of Morris Group. I’m guessing this incident has something to do with them. Otherwise, why else would he have dared to touch a hair on Lane’s head?”
Phineas deliberately brought Morris Group into the mix, wanting to shift the other man’s ire toward the company.
There was a frosty look in Wesley’s eyes when he answered, “I know. Someone must be backing Garrison up, or he wouldn’t have had the guts to make such huge waves. I don’t care who it is; we’ll deal with them as well!”
Phineas chuckled.
After Wesley left, Phineas abruptly thought of Louis.
“I wonder how things are going on his side? We’re in a hurry here!”
He dialed the other man’s number. Before the latter had a chance to speak, he queried, “How are things, Louis?”
“I’m afraid Louis has been, ah, crippled.”
The voice coming from the other side of the phone had Phineas tensing.
