Forbidden Passion
Chapter 278 Closed for Rectification for Two Months

Theodore squinted; the other person stood tall, dressed in luxury brands, exuding a worldly air.

The two locked eyes, and then Theodore knew right away that the person in front of him was the hotel's backstage boss.

The lobby manager immediately approached respectfully. "Boss, you're finally here."

The lobby manager leaned in close to his ear and explained the situation. The man's originally effeminate face grew even darker.

"How useless you are!" the man criticized in a low voice, casting a sidelong glance at Theodore, who was sitting in the chair. Even though one stood and the other sat, the momentum was not much different.

Theodore carried an aura of nobility and elegance cultivated in a wealthy family since childhood, which was completely different from the air that the man had built with luxury brands.

The man looked at him for a few seconds before extending his hand. "Hello, I'm the hotel's owner, Bishop Reynolds."

'His surname is Reynolds?'

Theodore's gaze sharpened as he looked at him. The man was of similar age and appearance to him. To an unknowing observer, they could easily be mistaken for brothers.

When Lawton saw Bishop walk in, his gaze flickered between Theodore and Bishop, growing increasingly puzzled.

He had been by Theodore's side for several years, only knowing he had a brother named Christopher, but their resemblance was not even as striking as that between Theodore and the gentleman before them.

'Could this gentleman be Theodore's father'ss illegitimate son?'

Ignoring the hand extended toward him, Theodore's deep eyes were filled with coldness and mockery. "Bishop is a good name, but it's a pity you are not worthy of this name."

Bishop was speechless. 'Are you being polite?'

Bishop's expression shifted slightly as he stared at Theodore, a flash of envy fleeting in his eyes. He naturally knew Theodore was his never-met brother.

"I'm curious about the mischief you've stirred up on my territory." Bishop bluntly questioned.

Raising an eyebrow, Theodore sneered. ;"Your territory harbors evil, harming innocent people. How should you explain this?"

Glancing at the two kneeling on the ground, Bishop remained indifferent. "You're exaggerating. When guests come to dine at my hotel, how could we possibly be privy to their private affairs? We're not privy to their innermost thoughts. "Is that so?" Theodore lit a cigarette, exhaling smoke, playing with his lighter. "A small hotel is harboring something despicable; if you can't handle it, let the police take care of it."

With that, he turned to Lawton. "What are you standing there for? Bishop is busy. Do you really need to bother him by calling the police about such a trivial matter?"

Lawton quickly pulled out his phone to call the police.

Bishop clenched his teeth. If this matter escalated to the police station, it wouldn't be as simple as Thompson drugging someone. His thin lips pressed tightly as he stared directly at Theodore.  

"Are you here today just to cause trouble?"

Theodore calmly gazed at Bishop's angry expression. "Your hotel staff are recklessly testing the boundaries of the law. If I don't send them to prison, how can I vent my spleen?"

Upon hearing this, a male waiter knelt in front of Bishop, pleading while clinging to his leg. "Boss, I truly didn't know that Tompson had plotted to take Theodore's woman. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the audacity to do such a thing. Please save me!"

Bishop kicked him away, scolding sternly. "Shit. Your character is flawed. Do you still want to tarnish the entire hotel's image?"  

The male waiter lay prostrate on the ground, regretful and pleading.

Bishop adjusted his clothes, looking at Theodore. "What do you want me to compensate you?"

"Close for two months to rectification, and hand over these two individuals to me," Theodore said in a cold tone.
