Chapter 177
Dino Johnston, the manager, frowned. He did not look at Luka and Chloe on the side but whispered to
Nicole, “You want to see the surveillance record?”
Nicole nodded, her gaze lingering on the butler costume for two seconds. It was the clothing of the
Bourbon II era.
Thinking of the knight’s uniform of the William I period at the gate, Nicole’s eyebrows were raised
involuntarily as she thought the owner of this castle was low-key enough to show off his wealth.
Dino bowed slightly as he made a “please” gesture, after which he gave Luka and Chloe a look.
“According to the needs of the guests and the rules of the hotel, you may look at the surveillance record
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof the ground floor. I will take you all to the surveillance room.”
He led the way, walking to the right in front of Nicole and Zeke. Zeke had been shocked enough while
following Nicole earlier and now seemed nonchalant. Instead, he looked back at Luka and said with a
half-smile. “Follow closely. It’s not like you can see the manager and surveillance record every day.”
Luka and Chloe quickly caught up with them, but Luka’s attitude toward Zeke was still haughty; he did
not believe that people around a stalker-like Zeke were any special. The manager had only said that the
surveillance record in the lobby on the ground floor was open to inspection, and it had nothing to do with
Nicole’s background.
Chloe thought the same, but there was still a faint look of surprise in her eyes. They never thought about
why Nicole knew the layout and system of the castle so well, including the fact that they could access the
surveillance record of the ground floor.
They followed Dino into a small, inconspicuous door at the other end of the lobby. Dino then nodded
politely at Nicole, pulled the door open, and invited them in. Unlike the outside, the instrument inside this
room was more advanced, with a strong sense of high-tech feel.
Five massive screens hung in the air, four of which were turned off, and only one was on, showing the
surveillance footage of the entire ground floor of the castle.
Dino stepped forward and retrieved the surveillance footage, during which Chloe and Zeke bumped into
each other. It revealed that Zeke’s hands never touched Chloe but only accidentally bumped into her with
his shoulder. The footage spoke for itself.
Luka’s face changed, and he could not find a word to respond, while Chloe snorted and left without

Chloe Riddle thought to herself that it was a waste of time here. After all, she was becoming an A-list
celebrity soon, and her every minute and every second was precious. Thinking that she was going to a
shoot for Mr. Holder’s movie in the afternoon, Chloe said to Luka, “Let’s go. We must not be late for Mr.
Holder’s movie shoot.” Meanwhile, Dino looked on with a thoughtful look.
Nicole looked at Chloe with no expression in her eyes, yet Chloe felt a chill run up her spine,
and she halted her steps for a second and looked back at Nicole in puzzlement. For some reason, Nicole
was giving her a sense of familiarity. She did not know who Nicole was, but she had instinctively become
hostile to Nicole.
Nicole stood casually in the doorway, looking back at Chloe and Luka, who were walking toward her, and
said with a half-smile, “Apologize to him.”.
