Chapter 349
The headlines for the next three days were all about Ada Kingsley’s visit to Solana City.
The news had helped Berenike Hotel regain its footing in international recognition.
They had enjoyed a reputation like no other for several decades, becoming the number
one place to stay
for all kinds of personalities.
Their guests included diplomats, athletes, doctors, professors, and other world-famous
bigshots. Even
Cyrris’ previous president stayed in this hotel once.
However, its reputation had steadily soured as one scandal after another rocked the
Beckett Group.
Nowadays, when discussions turned to the company, all that netizens could talk about
were Jasper being
cuckolded and Liana’s reprehensible actions.
Reputation and goodwill were something that took time to build. Yet, they could always
shatter into
nothingness in the blink of an eye.
Ada’s arrival would not only promote Berenike Hotel, but it would also help build Beckett
Group’s image
back up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was why Jasper wanted nothing more than to have this win.
The hotel entrance was swarming with paparazzi and fans by six in the evening, all
waiting to get a
glimpse of Ada. A red carpet had been rolled out, too, fitting for a woman of the celebrity’s
stature.
“I’m Ada’s number one fan! I’ve watched all her ‘The Deadly March’ movies and know
them by heart! I can
finally see her in person after ten years!”
“Berenike Hotel has outdone themselves this time. KS World Hotel cannot compare
whatsoever!”
“But the Becketts seem to be really lost and confused these days…”
“That doesn’t mean their hotel will be affected. Ada’s arrival here means she approves of
the Berenike
Hotel!”
A limousine came to a stop at the end of the red carpet. Guards kept the crowd at bay as
one opened the
door for Ada. 1
The moment she stepped out, the crowd burst into cheers and excitement.
Ada Kingsley was of mixed blood with both Cyrris and Furancian blood in her. She sported
curly brown hair, her Cyrrian beauty accentuated by her Furancian physique. Standing at a
height of 5 feet 10 inches,

She was in a good mood today as her fans welcomed her. A faint smile rose on her lips as
she gently
waved at the crowd.
“Ada! I’ve watched all your movies!”
“You’re gorgeous!”
Ada entered the hotel with her manager and bodyguards, then went to the banquet hall
via elevator.
Jasper and Xavier were already waiting outside when she arrived on their floor.
Jasper calmly went up to her and offered his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms.
Kingsley. Welcome to
Solana City.”
He was dressed in a full tuxedo tonight, looking quite princely. He nearly matched Ada
herself with his
regal, serious air.
“Same to you, Mr. Jasper.” Ada shook his hand.
“How is the city treating you?”
“Well. My mother is Cyrrian, born and bred in this very city, after all. Though this is my
first time here, I’m
already falling in love with its sights and society.”
Jasper chatted with Ada as the two strode into the main hall. Countless other celebrities
and guests were
inside, all invited over tonight for the party.

time they had
seen this A-list, award-winning actress in person.
Many of these celebrities were also intrigued by Jasper. They couldn’t keep their eyes off
him and didn’t
plan to.
Now that Liana was out of the picture. Dreams of being the next Mrs. Beckett were not too
far-fetched.
Sophia and Betty stood to the side, unwillingly blending into the background. Not even
their makeup
could hide how angry they felt right now.
“Why did Jasper put us here, Mom? We’re Becketts, too!” Betty whined. Her mother’s face
was scrunching
up like dried rubber.
As wife to Beckett Group’s president, Sophia barely ever became a speck in the
background with the
limelight on everywhere else but her. She quickly put on a fake, kind smile and sashayed
over to Ada and
Jasper.
“It’s so good to finally meet you, Ms. Kingsley.
Ada glanced at her, then back at Jasper. “Who is this?”
as they say.
