My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1450

One of the receptionists helped Pedro to his room while the other assisted me with the check-in procedure.

"Bam!"

A sudden noise came from outside, causing both of us to look over at the scene. Everyone was dazed for an instant, especially the receptionist as she glanced at me and said apologetically, "Excuse me, Miss. Please hold on for a moment!"

She then hurried out of the hotel to have a look. It seemed that the glass window had been broken into pieces by something. The receptionist began an argument with the perpetrator. While waiting for her return, I quickly took my chance and looked around, but found no basement entrance. This hotel didn't have an underground parking lot. Thus, it made sense that it would have a basement instead. The question was, where was the entrance to it?

If what Susan said was true, how did she find the basement entrance?

After some thought, I realized that the entrance could be located in Bobbie's office. There shouldn't be anyone around at this hour. I walked towards the receptionist and told her that I'd be heading up to my room for now and that she could settle her situation first before we continued with the check-in process.

As she was busy, the receptionist did not have much time to talk and instead nodded at me. After taking a swift glance at the person who broke the glass window, I then turned to the elevator.

From what I'd heard from Susan, Bobbie's office was on the top floor. I was caught by surprise with this odd circumstance, a manager having an office on the highest floor. Usually, only the bosses would have their office on the top floor.

I didn't spend much time dwelling on this matter and took the elevator directly to the top floor. There was no office to be found even when I got to the top floor, but surprisingly, I discovered that there was another floor above.

"Mrs. Roberts!"

Evan appeared in front of me, which gave me a great shock. I was stupefied for a second when I saw him standing at the elevator entrance. I asked, "What's wrong?"

He frowned in an instant. "This elevator probably leads to the basement entrance. But it's controlled by a fingerprint security lock, which we can't open."

I was stunned for a moment. "Then how did Susan find out about it?"

After a moment of hesitation, I then recalled the child, Yonas. He seemed to have been working at the Emperor Club for a long time now. Since Susan hadn't been here long, she couldn't have discovered such a secretive place in such a short period of time. There was only one explanation. It must have been Yonas who told her about it. He had been here for so many years. He must have known about it! "Come, let's get out of here first!"

Evan then paused for a while before asking, "Are we leaving just like that?"

I nodded. "Sebastian is now in Oakland, while Bobbie is too busy dealing with his wife's accident at the moment. All we need to do right now is find Yonas as soon as possible. It has been days since you've contacted John. Get in touch with him, he might know something."

Evan nodded and left immediately.

After that, I found Pedro's room and left the hotel together with him, citing too much noise as an excuse.

Back in the hospital, Anne was recovering from her surgery under Valerie's care. We were relieved to know that everything was progressing so smoothly.

I tracked down Susan's whereabouts in Asherton. She was living with Abby in a small house located in the rural parts of the city. She didn't seem surprised by my sudden visit. She was squatting next to the induction stove, preparing food. The tiny unit was filled with smoke, as there was no exhaust system in the kitchen.

"The living conditions here aren't that good. I'm sorry!" Susan said as she coughed. She then placed the dishes on a folded wooden table where Abby had been waiting patiently, holding a small stool in her hands.
