Chapter 48: Half of the Hotel Is Mine

Chapter 48: Half of the Hotel Is Mine

Grant was the first person Victoria won over after she sstarted work in the administration department. After Victoria promoted him, he became quite loyal to her.

The fact that he could say such threatening words to Billy showed just how loyal he was.

Grant could be very useful with some guidance.

Victoria smiled and told him, "It's okay, don't worry. I'll handle this matter."

Despite Victoria's confidence, Grant was still a bit worried. He followed behind Victoria as they headed upstairs to where Billy's office was located.

The two had just gotten off the elevator when they heard Billy furiously cursing at someone.

"Some people, once they become a department manager, forget who they are."

"Not getting along with colleagues, talking back to leadership, and now, sabotaging contracts signed between senior management and clients. Employees like this are nothing but trouble if they stay at Maplewood Hotel."

......

Hearing Billy's words, Victoria's expression darkened.

It seemed Billy was very angry, daring to insult her like this.

Grant reminded Victoria, "Ms. Hughes, maybe you should wait a bit before going in. Mr. Brooks is very angry, and the consequences could be serious."

Victoria gave a cold laugh.

If she were afraid, she wouldn't have come.

She glanced at the time on her phone. It was about time.

Sure enough, moments later, the elevator doors opened, and a woman who looked to be around forty stepped out.

Seeing Victoria, she looked at her curiously.

Victoria recognized her. She was Billy's wife, Jessa Greer. When Victoria was young, Jessa had visited The Hughes Villa.

Back then, Jessa hadn't even given Victoria a proper look.

After glancing at Victoria, Jessa headed straight for the office area. As she went, Victoria clearly saw she was clutching a photo in her hand.

After she passed by, Grant asked Victoria with confusion.

"Ms. Hughes, isn't that Mr. Brooks' wife?"

Victoria pretended not to know, saying, "I'm not sure either, but it seems like it."

As soon as she finished speaking, they heard Jessa shouting toward the office area, "Who's Janice?"

Billy was in his office cursing about Victoria when he heard Jessa's voice and rushed out quickly.

Then Janice, who was always by his side, turned and ran, trying to leave the scene.

Seeing this, and looking at the photo in her hand, Jessa immediately confirmed Janice's identity.

"Honey, why aren't you staying at home? What are you doing here?"

Seeing things going wrong, Billy tried to stop Jessa, but she came prepared. She pushed aside Billy, whose body was already worn out, with one shove.

Ignoring her image, she pointed at Janice and started cursing.

"You bitch, you're really something! Did you come to be my husband's secretary? Or to sleep with my husband?"

"How shameless, hugging and kissing my husband in his office."

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be able to swallow this anger. I'm going to beat you to death."

......

As Jessa spoke, she threw down the photo and charged at Janice. She grabbed Janice's hair, held her in front of her, and started slapping her face.

Janice tried to run, but her tight floral dress made it impossible to get away.

Billy saw things getting out of hand and tried to intervene, but Jessa's fighting power was remarkable. Taking on two people at once, she showed no signs of backing down.

All the Maplewood Hotel employees had been bullied by Janice before, so now that Jessa was beating her up, not a single person went to help.

Grant was thrilled watching this scene.

He excitedly asked Victoria, "Ms. Hughes, what should we do? What should we do?"

Victoria smiled calmly and said, "What else can we do? We should be good audience members, of course."

"Did you bring your phone? Quick, record a video and post it on social media."

With that, Victoria took out her own phone first and captured the entire scene of Jessa, Billy, and Janice fighting.

After recording, she sent the video to Charles right away.

With the caption: [Dad, is it appropriate for Mr. Brooks and his wife to be making such a scene at the hotel?]

Charles didn't reply for a long time.

Jessa grabbed Janice and beat her thoroughly before hotel security finally rushed over and pulled the fighting people apart.

Janice's face was swollen from the beating, her hair was a mess, and even her floral dress was torn.

Billy also had injuries on his face, scratched bloody by Jessa's sharp nails.

Victoria just glanced once, then turned and went downstairs back to her office. Next, the power of public opinion would blow this matter up, and she would see how Billy would deal with it.

Sure enough, as Victoria predicted, within half a day, the video of Jessa grabbing and beating Janice in the office area had spread all over the internet.

Smart and capable netizens quickly dug up their identities. The online posts remained highly popular, and Maplewood Hotel's PR department was completely unable to suppress it.

Within just a few hours, the video was already known to everyone.

Jessa's fighting stance of taking on two people became a female role model across the internet, inspiring betrayed women to follow her example.

Just after work started in the afternoon, Jade came to Victoria's office.

Before Victoria could speak, she threw the photos Victoria had sent to Jessa in front of her.

"Victoria, tell me honestly, did you send these photos to Jessa?"

Victoria pretended to pick up the photos and look at them. The person who secretly took them had pretty good photography skills - they captured the photos of Janice and Billy embracing very clearly.

After looking at them, Victoria calmly asked Jade, "Does it matter whether I sent them or not?"

"The key is whether Mr. Brooks did these things or not. Having an affair is one thing, but having an affair with a colleague? Having an affair with his secretary - Mr. Brooks is really quite arrogant."

Victoria mocked Jade.

Jade's expression was very unpleasant.

"Victoria, I know what you're trying to do. You just want to use this incident to bring down Billy, and then you can control all of Maplewood Hotel yourself, right?"

"Let me tell you, your father and I are still married, and half of Maplewood Hotel is mine. Even if you want to control Maplewood Hotel, you have to ask if I agree or not."

Jade started threatening Victoria.

Well, Sarah had stolen Ethan. She thought she could become Mrs. Ashford, but instead, she was humiliated.

After several confrontations where she gained no advantage, naturally she couldn't swallow this anger.

Looking at Jade like this, Victoria couldn't help but sneer.

She threw the photos in her hand hard in front of Jade and retorted, "Jade, you really know how to boast!"
