Chapter 589
She ran a couple of meters away, her heart beating like mad, so shocked that she felt a little uncomfortable.
Conrad took the luggage and the snacks from the back seat, closed the car door, and started to walk toward the
elevator.
Beep! Beep beep!
From the right side of the back, a horn sounded and he turned his head around to look.
The window of the driver’s seat of the red Maserati rolled down and the person inside spoke up teasingly. “What a
coincidence.”
Conrad frowned, not wanting to care about the person.
“Are you alone? What about your little wifey?” Victor asked loudly.
Conrad couldn’t even be bothered to glance at him.
Victor touched his nose helplessly. “How ill-mannered. No matter what, I’m still your senior. Even when I take the
initiative to greet you, you ignore me.”
The doorbell rang and Fia was so scared that she started shrieking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConrad frowned and took out a spare keycard to enter. He swept a glance through the hall and did not see anyone.
“Fia!”
The person who was hiding behind the sofa spoke up with a shaky voice. “I… I’m here.”
“What’s wrong?” Conrad immediately threw aside the luggage and snacks in his hand and rushed behind the sofa.
Fia had her hands across her chest as she shook her head, acting aggrieved.
“Just now, someone rang the doorbell and gave me the delivery you arranged for me.”
“I didn’t arrange for any delivery!” Conrad frowned and his eyes swept through the area to
investigate. He saw the yellow cardboard box on the table, the red paper box that had fallen to the ground, and a
carcass that was in a provoking state.
The white rabbit had been gutted through the chest and stomach, its blood flowing and its innards hanging halfway
out.
Conrad hugged Fia, his expression extremely conflicted. The first thing he thought about was coincidentally seeing
Victor in the car park.
However, he knew Victor too well. If it was him, he would never dare to so openly say hi to himself.
Obviously, the person who did this knew that he would bring Fia to Oceania and would stay in this hotel.
And the person also knew that Victor would stay in this hotel,
That person was intentionally instigating the relationship between him and Victor, or so to say, to worsen his
relationship with Victor.
Conrad dug out his phone and called the front desk, to get someone to deal with the cruel package.
When the manager found out, he rushed over. Seeing that the person on the sofa was Conrad, he was so scared
that he was shaking.
“Mr. Ma… Maxwell, why is it you?”
The manager was about to die of worry. This person’s temper was hard to deal with.
Conrad sent a sharp gaze over. “What is the security of your hotel doing?!”
“This… This…” The manager’s mind was in a mess.
“Immediately check who was the person who sent the delivery!”
“Yes, yes. I will check the surveillance cameras now.”
Fia listened to Conrad’s powerful heartbeat and slowly, she turned her head to look at the table.
The delivery was already cleaned up without a trace.
However, the scene of when she opened the red box was imprinted in her mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had been full of delight, thinking that her husband had given her a surprise. Next thing she knew, it turned out
to be something else entirely and even a normal person would be shocked half to death.
“It’s fine now. It’s fine now.” Conrad felt how tense her body was and he gently caressed her back. He could not
help but feel guilty. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have left you alone in the room.”
This time, it was a dead rabbit. What if it had been a bomb inside?
The more Conrad thought about it, the more scary he found it to be. He shouted at the manager who was holding
the tablet. “Have you found out who it is?! If you can’t find out, I’m going to level your hotel!”
“We… We found a suspicious person.” The manager was shouted at till he couldn’t speak properly. He bit the bullet
and said. “However, the person wore his cap too low and we can’t see his face.”
“How could a person be simply let upstairs!”
One of the front desk ladies said while sobbing, “He was dressed in a delivery uniform, knew your room number,
the number of people staying, and said that it was you who had ordered him to pass your wife a gift. So, we didn’t
suspect him.”
“How extremely foolish!” Conrad was extremely angry. In the past, he had always stayed in this hotel when he
came to Oceania and nothing had ever gone wrong. This time, such a mistake happened!
The manager wiped the sweat off his forehead and said fearfully, “Mr. Maxwell, don’t get angry. I have already
contacted our new boss. He is coming immediately. This matter will definitely be dealt with properly.”
