Heidi had long heard that Lina had gotten married, and to make matters worse, she had married a poor truck
driver. Now, seeing him in person, he did indeed look quite shabby.
Heidi sneered and immediately assumed an authoritative tone when she saw Lina in the room, raising her voice.
“You two are sharing one room but using only one person’s passport for registration. This is illegal in Southeast
Aciatic!
“Lina Jenner, you’ve caused me enough trouble on this trip! I won’t tolerate you secretly harboring someone in your
room this time!”
“Ms. Lister, it’s not what you think!” Lina stepped forward, shielding Zuko behind her and gesturing for him to step
back.
Zuko was taken aback. He could sense the young woman’s worry and slight fear as her shoulders trembled. Yet, he
also saw her determination to protect him.
It was a strange feeling, and a smile formed at the corners of his mouth.

place to stay. He will leave as soon as he finds accommodation.”
“You dare to argue after secretly harboring someone in your room?”
Lina looked up with sparkling eyes. “Ms. Lister, even if Southeast Aciatic’s laws are they don’t expect wives to let
their husbands sleep on the streets, do they?”
“You…” Heidi widened her eyes. She knew she couldn’t win the Nevertheless, she had to teach her most disliked
student a lesson today!
“Well, I don’t care about your personal matters, but if any student in the group I’m leading breaks the law, I will
handle it!”
With that, Heidi took out her phone and called the front desk.
“Front desk? Please call the police for me! We have someone secretly harboring another person here. It’s
outrageous!”
More students gathered in the corridor, their attention now on Lina, followed by whispers and discussions.
Soon, security guards and the lobby manager made a grand entrance. Upon reaching the room, the lobby manager
froze in his tracks!
If it weren’t for Zuko’s intimidating gaze, he would have nearly blurted out “Your Lordship” without thinking.
Zuko remained composed, holding onto Lina’s shoulder as he smiled at the pale-faced lobby manager. “Are you the
manager?”
“Uh, I…” the lobby manager stammered, only managing a nod and a dry chuckle.
“Then please explain to me.” Zuko’s voice was nonchalant. “What makes this shabby place so remarkable that my
wife has to commit a crime for it?”
“Uh, well…” The lobby manager struggled to form a coherent sentence. His legs trembled uncontrollably.
Heidi looked at him, then at Zuko, feeling perplexed.
“What’s the matter?” Zuko took a step forward, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the lobby manager. “The
manager can’t even answer a simple question?”
The lobby manager forced a professional smile as he pondered a suitable solution. He decided to escalate the

Soon, the hotel’s general manager hurriedly approached the scene. The general manager grew restless after
learning that the young Count was facing a predicament. However, as he observed the situation and noticed the
young Count fiercely protecting the girl, with a chilling coldness in his eyes…
The general manager instantly grasped the situation.
He needed to resolve the issue discreetly without revealing his identity as the young Count of Southeast Aciatic,
particularly to the girl he held in his arms.
After a brief moment of thought, the general manager cleared his throat lightly and donned a standard professional
smile.
He addressed the young Count with a slight bow, “Sir, while it is true that using one person’s passport for
registration while accommodating two violates our rules, we also prioritize providing attentive service to all our
guests.
“Therefore, sir, please feel free to communicate any requests you may have, and we will do our utmost to
accommodate them!”
“What!?” Heidi grew even more bewildered as she listened. “Manager, are you mistaken? I just called you to report
them to the police, and now you want… You want to help him resolve the problem!?”
