Chapter 37
The staff immediately understood - so Daisy and Kane had bad blood between them.
"Daisy, what do you mean by that?" Kane frowned.
Daisy sneered, "Kane, you think I still see you as a classmate? You're a criminal now, and I'm the manager of Azure Palace Hotel!"
"The people you deal with are all criminals! The people I deal with are all nobles!"
"Our statuses are completely different now!"
"Back when I chased after you for so long, you wouldn't even look at me. Now I'm going to make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Gap?"
"There is indeed a huge gap between us!"
"For old times' sake, I won't argue with you. Just hurry up and make arrangements - I want to book the entire hotel!"
Kane's tone was cold.
The gap in their statuses was truly enormous!
"Kane, stop pretending. I heard all about it - you just got out of prison, and you probably don't even have a job yet!"
Daisy crossed her arms and mocked him.
"You think I'm poor? Fine! Then I'll show you just how poor I am!"
Kane pulled out his phone and called Bayonet. "Bayonet, I'm giving you ten minutes. I want to buy Azure Palace Hotel!"
With that, Kane hung up.
"You? Buy Azure Palace Hotel? Will you die if you don't brag?"
Daisy didn't believe him at all.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Kane was too funny.
Ten minutes later, Bayonet walked in, holding two contracts respectfully in both hands and placing them in front of Kane.
"Mr. Lockwood, I've followed your instructions and acquired Azure Palace Hotel!"
"Since Azure Palace Hotel is rented, I've also purchased the entire building!"
"Well done."
Kane nodded slightly.
"Kane, aren't you taking your bragging too far!"
"Azure Palace Hotel makes five million dollars profit a year - only an idiot would sell it!"
"And you bought the whole building? Do you know it would take billions of dollars to buy this building?"
Daisy thought Kane was way too full of hot air.
Just then, the general manager Glenn Cole suddenly rushed up to Kane, sweating profusely.
"Sir, hello, I'm Glenn, the general manager of Azure Palace Hotel!"
Glenn bowed respectfully with a flattering look in his eyes.
The salary here was generous and the benefits excellent - he wanted to keep his position as general manager.
Daisy was thunderstruck.
What?
Did Kane really buy Azure Palace Hotel?
No!
How did this guy become a super-rich tycoon?
Natalie was so shocked her eyes nearly popped out. To completely acquire Azure Palace Hotel, he even bought the whole building?
Azure Palace Hotel was worth at most tens of millions of dollars!
But this building was probably worth billions!
He's so rich!
Daisy quickly stepped forward, hugging Kane's arm and rubbing against him coquettishly. "Kane, I was just joking with you earlier!"
"You're not that bad at taking a joke, are you?"
"No one's home at my place tonight, and I'm pretty lonely. Could you come over for a glass of wine?"
Daisy pressed her body against Kane.
"Get lost!"
Kane pushed Daisy away. "I don't have such a shallow classmate. From now on, you're fired!"
"Kane, we're classmates!"
"I chased after you for so long - you can't be so heartless."
Daisy grabbed Kane's leg and begged.
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Lockwood said?"
"Security!"
Glenn shouted.
The security guards threw Daisy out!
"Three days from now, I'm holding a birthday party here. On that day, no random people are allowed in, understand?"
Kane's expression was especially serious.
Glenn quickly nodded. "Yes, sir!"
Kane turned and left Azure Palace Hotel with Natalie.
Glenn was stunned.
To hold a wedding, he directly bought a building and a hotel - how impressive!
"Kane, did I hear that wrong?"
"To hold a wedding, you bought a building and a hotel?"
Natalie felt like she was dreaming.
"You heard right."
"Oh my God!" Natalie covered her head.
The Crawford Manor.
"Dad, why did you sell Lumiere Couture? The bridal shop brings us tens of millions of dollars in profit every year!"
Josh was displeased.
"Didn't I tell you? That's a very important person! We can't afford to offend him!"
Josh's father Scott Crawford was being mysterious.
The head of the Crawford family had four sons, and Scott was the second, managing a third of the family's business!
"Who exactly is this big shot?" Josh was curious.
"The Mercenary King!"
Under Josh's questioning, Scott answered.
"That's impossible!"
"He's Kane, the failure abandoned by the Lockwood family who just got out of prison!"
"How could he be the Mercenary King?"
"Dad, you must have been tricked!"
Josh didn't believe it at all.
"How could I be tricked?" Scott said.
"Dad, I've already had someone investigate him. We should have news soon!"
Just then, a young man rushed in. "Mr. Crawford, we've finished the investigation!"
"Speak!"
"Kane did just get out of prison, and the people who attacked us that day were mercenaries Kane hired!"
"Dad, you were tricked!" Josh was delighted.
"Damn it, he dared to impersonate the Mercenary King! I'll tear him to pieces!" Scott was furious.
"Dad, don't worry. Three days from now he's holding a wedding at Azure Palace Hotel - we can deal with him then!" Josh sneered.
"Three days from now, I'll tear him to pieces!" Scott said through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Kane received a call from Bayonet.
"Mr. Lockwood, I just received word that the Crawford family plans to make their move on your wedding day!" Bayonet's voice was respectful.
A flash of killing intent crossed Bayonet's eyes. "Should I act now?"
Kane's pupils contracted. "No rush. On the wedding day, I want them to celebrate my marriage with their lives!"
"Mr. Lockwood, I'll make the arrangements!" Bayonet hung up.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Isabelle's birthday arrived as scheduled.
During these three days, the most sensational news in Harborview City was undoubtedly about a tycoon spending lavishly to buy Azure Palace Hotel to hold a wedding.
Countless women were crying with envy!
Many people wanted to catch a glimpse of this super-rich person!
That evening, Kane was playing with toys with Winnie.
"Natalie, is the dress pretty?"
Isabelle rarely had a day off and had just changed into a beautiful dress.
"Beautiful! So beautiful!"
But Natalie's gaze fell on Kane. She was so envious of Isabelle - how did she find such a handsome, powerful, and influential man as a husband?
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"They're here!" Marilyn suddenly stood up.
"I'll get it!"
Jason hurried to open the door.
"Mom, we have guests?" Isabelle frowned.
Marilyn raised her eyebrows. "Isabelle, just wait - you'll see!"
Everyone looked curiously toward the door.
The door opened.
A tall, handsome man in a white suit stood at the door, holding a large bouquet of roses!
Isabelle frowned when she saw this man.
"Oh my God, it's him!"
Natalie was shocked.
"Isabelle, happy birthday! I came all the way from Europe especially to celebrate your birthday!"
The man walked up to Isabelle with the roses!
Isabelle's face darkened, and she threw the roses on the floor. "Get out!"
"Isabelle, I know you're still upset about what happened back then. I had my reasons!" the man said earnestly.
"Get lost!"
Isabelle's tone was icy.
