Everyone stared in disbelief, unable to move as they wondered if they had misheard."What … did you just say?" Lotus asked. She also fixed her gaze on the general manager standing behind Kevan as she tried to seek confirmation of what had just been announced.However, the general manager merely shot her a resentful glance and remained silent."All of you, the entire housekeeping department staff, are fired," Kevan reiterated, using different words. "Do you understand now?""Why?" Lotus questioned with dissatisfaction. "I admit that there are areas for improvement, but that doesn't mean that the department doesn't even deserve a chance to make amends. Are you really dismissing us all without giving us an opportunity?""Opportunities are for those who genuinely seek change, and you all are not worthy," he sneered.In that instant, she found Kevan's words utterly absurd. "Mr. Chance!" She turned to address the general manager again. "Didn't you just say the housekeeping department would r

"Well, looking at your unique work attitude, it's no surprise that the staff here are also careless, creating negative publicity for the Company," Kevan sarcastically remarked.He felt a sense of disdain and had no intention of engaging with these individuals any longer. So, he merely said, "You have half an hour to go through the resignation procedures, and if anyone is still here after that, security will come and help you pack your things."Reluctantly, the remaining staff of the housekeeping department began to move slowly. However, Lotus still couldn't accept the outcome. She seized the general manager after Kevan had left and asked indignantly, "Mr. Chance, who was that strange person earlier? What authority does he have to fire us? Who gave him that power?"It was only at that moment that the general manager started to reflect on himself. How could he have been so blind as to promote Lotus to the housekeeping department manager?"That was Mr. Rogers," he replied, shaking off her

"Lotus didn't pick you up as agreed, not because she was handling customer complaints, but because she wanted to embarrass you intentionally. The Company does want to foster a competitive atmosphere among its hotels, but it's for mutual progress, not to suppress each other. Her actions today, along with her previous inaction and lack of remorse, led me to believe that she and the team she cultivated are not a good fit for the hotel's culture. Of course, my firm actions also serve as a warning to let other departments know the consequences of not following the Company's regulations and engaging in passive work."While she was somewhat relieved at his answer, she also felt disappointed because Kevan had not been driven by his emotions. She had actually thought that he had made such a scene just to defend her. Clearly, she had been too self-absorbed.She lowered her head, using her long hair to conceal her burning red face, and tried to inquire calmly, "When will the new employees be in p

Roland stood motionless, tightly gripping his cane with both hands. He only briefly glanced at Kevan in the beginning before becoming completely fixated on Larissa."And this is …" Although he directed his question at Kevan, his gaze never left Her. Upon hearing that, Kevan pulled Larissa closer. "This is my wife, Larissa."Roland was clearly taken aback and involuntarily raised his voice, saying, "What? Wife?"Larissa was shocked at the sudden raise of tone, causing her to instinctively press herself against Kevan. Initially, she had assumed he was taking her back to his own "home" in Bartham, but little did she expect that he would bring her to his grandfather's house. She would never have gone out with him if she had known earlier."Yes." Nevertheless, Kevan calmly nodded. "We got married on the 3rd."Infuriated, Roland widened his eyes and raised his cane to about half his height, but he suddenly realized Larissa was still present and had to forcefully lower it again.He gave Kevan

Roland observed his grandson, who had always been distant but now displayed such tenderness and thoughtfulness in front of Larissa. He instantly felt his satisfaction with her grow even more."Do your parents know about your marriage?" Roland inquired. His cold demeanor contrasted sharply with his warm attitude toward Larissa."They are not aware yet," Kevan responded honestly. "I plan to bring her back for the family reunion dinner and inform you all then. However, she had an unexpected business trip to Bartham. And since there are also pending matters at Microworks Corporation, we decided to come together. We only arrived in Bartham this morning and decided to visit you the same afternoon. No doubt I have always prioritized you in my heart."As Kevan tried to appease his grandfather with his words, Roland's expression improved somewhat. He raised his cane as if he was about to swing it at Kevan."What nonsense are you talking about? Your wife should be your top priority now that you'
Chapter 266
If it had been just Kevan alone, Roland would have swung his cane mercilessly toward him. However, Larissa clearly sided with Kevan. If he scolded Kevan, it would be like scolding her. He didn't want to scare her away after waiting years for a granddaughter-in-law like her."Then, let's start coordinating from now on," Roland commanded firmly, facing Kevan. "You may have a busy schedule, but I believe you can manage your time. Accommodate Lari's schedule so that we can quickly set the wedding date, yeah?""Sure," Kevan readily agreed.And so, all the pressure fell on Larissa's shoulders. Infuriated, she gave Kevan a disdainful glance, annoyed by his irresponsible behavior of abandoning her to save his own arse at a critical moment."What say you, Lari?" Roland asked her.Naturally, she obediently nodded and replied, "After the big family reunion dinner, I'll ask my supervisors when I can take my wedding leave.""Good." Roland finally seemed satisfied and displayed a relieved smile. "I

"Probably," Kevan replied, turning to glance at the mansion and letting out a soft sigh. "My parents and several uncles have tried countless times to convince him to move in with them, but he refuses to leave the room where he lived with my grandmother."There was, of course, an even more significant reason—his grandpa symbolized the ultimate power of Soaring Corporation. No matter which son's house he decided to reside in, it would raise suspicion and discontent among others.However, Kevan had no intention of revealing these intricate family faction struggles to Larissa.She couldn't help but sigh and remark, "There aren't many men left in this world as loyal as your grandpa!"He looked into her eyes, almost saying, "You forgot about me," but ultimately chose to remain silent."If you want to stay, then stay." He pretended to turn back.Larissa quickly grasped his hand. "Forget it. Grandpa might already be in bed. When we come back next time, let's make sure to stay and keep him comp

The presidential suite was enormous, requiring two housekeepers to clean it together. So, Kevan and Larissa divided the task of keeping a watchful eye on each housekeeper among themselves to ensure the housekeepers followed all the regulations. They couldn't be certain whether it was the effect of the leaked video or the special treatment for the suite's guests, but the two housekeepers never made a single mistake during their work, unlike what was shown in the leaked footage.However, Larissa could tell that they lacked skill in their job. It was clear that they were not accustomed to this particular process. The weight of her responsibilities suddenly felt heavy on her shoulders.At that moment, Kevan's assistant delivered a suitcase containing his clothes for the next two weeks, as well as a brand-new set of bed sheets and covers.Larissa was amazed by this, but she understood why he did that. After all, Bartham's Regal Dynasty Hotel had recently faced hygiene issues, and Kevan's ob
