My Billionaire Mom -
Chapter 407
All of a sudden, the hotel manager and several other staff members had come over. All with impassive faces.
Seeing this, Manny sensed that something was wrong. Hattie had really instructed people to kick them out. What should she do now?
Manny had just realized that Hattie was a distant relative of the owner of this hotel. They were doomed now.
It was not easy for Zelda's father's company to hold such a party. They were only halfway through and everyone might get kicked out now before they could have a good time. It would be a big shame. Manny couldn't afford to lose her dignity like that.
"Zelda, what should we do?" Manny asked anxiously.
This hotel had belonged to one of the Four Greatest Households in the country, the Allen family. They were powerful enough to kick people out of their property, of course. Who could resist them? Manny dared not to. Their company was only worth tens of millions of dollars. To the Allen family, that amount meant nothing at all. The Allen family could shut their company down at any time. However, it would still be embarrassing for them to get kicked out like this.
Manny was in a dilemma.
"Mom, don't worry. Let's hear what they have to say first," Zelda said calmly. That was the only thing they could do.
In the face of the Allen family, unless they were from the other three greatest families, resistance would lead to an inevitable end.
Once they were kicked out by the Allen family, people like Manny and Zelda wouldn't be able to make a fuss or get angry. They could only suck it up and accept the consequences. This was the huge gap between their worlds.
Zelda felt helpless. The Four Greatest Households in the country were families that had continued on their legacy for generations on end for at least five hundred years now. They were too powerful to fight against.
It was supposed to be a great day, how did it end up in such a mess?
Zelda let out a quiet sigh. If they really ended up getting kicked out, they had to accept it.
"Zelda, does Chuck have any idea what to do here?" Manny was very anxious as she questioned. The hotel manager was walking over with an indifferent face. Why else would he come down here if not to kick them out?
Among the group of people at the scene, the only person capable enough to defend them was Chuck. Only he could compare with the Allen family. Everyone else here was insignificant.
So what if Chuck owned a helicopter and a plaza? After all, the Cannon family was not part of the Four Greatest Households.
There should be several billion dollars in Chuck's family. However, to the Allen family, that amount must count as nothing at all.
Would the owner of this hotel spare the Cannon family some dignity even though they weren't well-known?
If they were going up against any ordinary person, Chuck's wealth was enough to intimidate them. But this time with the Allen family as an opponent, it was...
Manny didn't know what to think now.
"I don't know," Zelda said exasperatedly. Although Chuck was not part of the Four Greatest Households, she had seen Chuck's strength with her own eyes. Chuck was absolutely powerful!
Nevertheless, Zelda didn't know if he could compare with the Allen family. After all, she hadn't come into contact with the Allen family before this day. She couldn't imagine how scary the Allen family could be. She only knew that Chuck was especially capable, but she didn't know how big the gap between him and the Allen family was.
Zelda looked over at Chuck worriedly.
When the hotel manager finally came over, Hattie's face formed a terrible sneer.
"I am the manager of the hotel. Your party here has to end now. Have everything packed up and ask everyone to leave the premises in ten minutes," the manager said solemnly.
The manager had given those orders in indifference. He meant: all of you, fuck off!
Landon had phoned him personally to kick everyone here out.
So here he was, carrying out Landon's orders. After all, the hotel did belong to Landon's family. Who would dare to refute him? Landon had previously pulled the same stunt here and made a big fuss. However the hotel manager could do nothing but obey him. It was an order from the Allen family after all.
No one dared to oppose them.
No one had the guts to act wildly in the Allen family's territory. If they demanded that they wanted someone to get out of their place, that person had to leave immediately.
Manny was disheartened by this. Hattie had actually ordered people to kick them out. She regretted arguing with her just now, thinking that she should have kept a cooler head. Now that the Allen family had spoken, they all had to leave one way or another.
Zelda frowned.
The rest of the people present still did not know what situation they were in.
"Manager, we were just halfway through our party. How can we be asked to leave like this? Why don't we pay you more? How much would be enough?" Manny asked anxiously just then.
It was such a big mess. Manny nearly broke down internally as she had never expected to encounter such troubles. She felt that she had instantly hit rock bottom.
"Oh, Manny, how much are you going to offer? No amount of money you can pay will mean anything to the Allen family. To them, your meager money is useless," Hattie said, her voice pinched with disdain. What a joke. These people booked the entire restaurant and even ordered wine and all. It would have all cost around seven or eight hundred thousand dollars. Even if they paid another million, it would still mean nothing to the Allen family.
Manny was getting more and more anxious and she quickly said, "Please don't do this. We were wrong just now, I'm sorry."
"What do you mean by you're sorry? Does that make everything okay? I came here to chat with you with good intentions, but what attitude did you give me? Now that there are consequences, you're suddenly sorry?" Hattie scoffed. She felt great right now to see Manny behave like this.
"I..." Manny was at a loss for words at the moment.
She was speechless. With a sigh, she thought to herself, "Do I really have to leave like this? This is so shameful!"
"Mom..." Zelda tried to reassure her mother but she was raging. "Why do you want to kick us out? We paid for our time!" Zelda yelled as she glared at both the manager and Hattie.
"Zelda, don't say that. This is the Allen family we're dealing with. We can't afford to mess with them," Manny said and hurriedly grabbed Zelda. She was flustered.
She feared that Zelda might stir up a load of trouble if she went on.
"But Mom..." Zelda said helplessly.
"Haha! Zelda, haven't you been out and about long enough to notice situations like these? Have you gone stupid? Do you think you have a say here?" Hattie mocked. "Pack up and leave," the manager demanded once more.
"But we paid for our time here!" Zelda glared at him as she said.
"So what?" the manager asked indifferently.
"We've paid. So, you can't just kick us out whenever you like," Zelda argued.
"So, you want the Allen family to return the money to you?" Hattie mocked again.
No one had dared raise their voices at the Allen Family like this. Not even to ask for a refund. They would just leave when they were told.
"Zelda, you're a bold one, aren't you? How dare you ask the Allen family for a refund? Do you think you have the right to ask for it?" Hattie tutted aggressively.
Zelda was not sure. In the Allen family's eyes, she knew that she was deemed worthless. She was being kicked out right now but she did not think this was fair. This was outrageous. They did nothing wrong to deserve this.
This was completely plain cruel and unfair.
"Do you want me to repeat myself? Have the room cleared in ten minutes," the manager repeated himself.
"Zelda, let's get out of here. We can't afford to offend them," Manny ushered, and her heart aching. Indeed, in front of families like the Allen, there was no point resisting. They did not qualify to.
"Mom," Zelda pleaded once more before letting out a soft sigh. She had just opened a chain restaurant by herself. She knew that if she resisted, her hard work might be ruined.
"I'm going to inform everyone now," Manny said. She was extremely sad. Alas, no one could help her. As expected, she would always be powerless and get bullied by others. "Auntie, hold on," Chuck spoke up all of a sudden.
Manny looked at Chuck at that, and her heart ached even more. "Chuck, stop talking. Let's get out of here. The Allen Family... we can't afford to offend them."
Manny knew how it all worked. In this country, if they weren't part of the Four Greatest Households, they were nothing but useless.
Zelda looked at Chuck then. She knew he wanted to help, but this was the Allen family they were dealing with. She didn't want to drag Chuck into this mess, so she thought it better not to let Chuck help. "Auntie, are we just going to comply with them? Just like that?" Chuck asked plainly.
Manny sighed at that and reminded him, "Chuck, don't fool around. We'd better leave. We need to know our place in other people's territory."
Manny still felt a little disappointed by him. Chuck owned a plaza and a helicopter. But so what if he could enjoy meals that cost almost a million dollars? That was nothing to the Allen family. Although she was very satisfied with Chuck as Zelda's boyfriend, she couldn't bear to make further comparisons with him anymore. He was still a world's away from what true power was. After all, Chuck was not a member of the Four Greatest Households. How could he have the ability to fight against the Allen family? The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. "We're not invading anyone's territory. We've paid for it, fair and square," Chuck said flatly. The manager frowned and wondered if this young man was looking for trouble.
