“Where are you going to escape to? There are CCTV cameras at both the front and back doors. Don’t tell me that you can turn yourself invisible?” Amber was like a cat on hot bricks. Jameson could monitor the situation in The Millennium with his phone in real-time.
If he discovered Axel, it would be over for him.
“Why would I be using a door? Real men don’t walk through doors.” Axel tilted his chin proudly.
Upon hearing that, Amber couldn’t help but smile. The tense atmosphere eased up.
Suddenly, some knocks came from the door. A female voice asked, “Ms. Altman, are you in there?”
“What is it?” Amber concealed her nervousness with a cold voice.
“There’s been an incident in Room S001. Mr. Josh specified to have you serve him. The supervisor explained that you’re not taking customers, and Mr. Josh started throwing a temper. He smashed the things in the room and even hit two ladies. What do you think we should do about this?”
Amber came up with an idea. She answered in a low voice, “I’ll go over to see him immediately.”
The staff left. Amber took a deep breath and looked into Axel’s eyes. “Josh and Mr. Jameson are rivals. I will go over to see him and create a commotion. Naturally, Mr. Jameson will be drawn over. Then, it’s time for you to hurry off.”
Axel frowned. Amber was about to leave when he suddenly grabbed onto her arm. He tightened his grip on her.
“Must you go to him?”
They locked eyes with each other. Amber felt a jolt of electricity pass through her heart.
“Yes, this is the only way you can escape unscathed.”
The sharp and hasty sound of Amber’s silver heels echoed through the corridor as she made her way directly to Room S001.
“Ms. Altman! You’re finally here!”
The supervisor and a few female escorts were standing by the door. They were trembling in fright and feeling at a loss.
One of the ladies had wounds on her forehead where she had been hit. Blood was flowing down the sides of her face and dripping down to the floor. Another escort had a bruise around her eye. They were both badly injured.
“That asshole! How could he be so cruel?”
Amber’s heart broke for them. She rebuked the supervisor, “Why are you just idling around? Can’t you see that they’re so badly injured? Why haven’t you sent them to the hospital? What are you waiting for?”
“Ms. Altman, there’s no problem arranging for them to be taken to the hospital. However, it’s crucial to address the crisis inside first!”
The supervisor was perspiring in fear. “Mr. Josh is a big shot. Moreover, he is Mr. Jameson’s older brother. Now that it has come to this, how are we going to sort this out?”
“Big shot?”
Amber’s eyes were sharp and cold. She clenched her teeth and exclaimed, “How big of a shot is he? He is just a fucking pig who can’t control his urges!
“Regardless, nothing is more important than our people’s safety. Take them to the hospital to get treated instantly. I’ll settle things here!”
Gratitude filled the eyes of the two ladies. They thanked Amber with tears in their eyes.
Out of everyone in The Millennium, Amber was the only one with compassion.
The sound of glass bottles being smashed came from the room once again. It was as if there was a rampage going on in there.
Amber kicked the door open. She walked in looking fearless.
Josh reeked of alcohol. He was wrecking the expensive decorations as he wished. It was as if he were a demolition squad. At the same time, his friends were cheering and egging him on from the side.
The moment Amber appeared, the entire room became silent.
Their attention was deeply drawn to her mesmerizing looks and her elegant figure. They stared at her like drooling predators.
“Oh, my Lord… They look so alike. She fucking looks like Alyssa Taylor!”
“You have such a beautiful woman here. It’s such a waste of resources to keep her from attending to customers! She is The Millennium’s ace!”
Josh turned around, breathing heavily.
He shuddered the moment he laid eyes on Amber.
Alyssa was an attractive yet tough-to-handle woman. After all, that cunning Alyssa had defeated David and Daisy. Not only that, but she almost caused his downfall too. He was shocked to see a face exactly like hers. Yet, his first reaction was fear!
“Mr. Josh, are you satisfied with all the smashing you’ve done?”
Amber slowly took in her surroundings. Then, she walked to the side and picked up a crystal vase. It was the only item left on the shelf.
She widened her eyes. In the next second, she grabbed the vase and hurled it at Josh’s feet. The vase shattered to pieces at his feet.
He jumped and cried out in fright as he watched the broken pieces scatter everywhere. His demeanor as a noble and wealthy man was completely shattered. He looked utterly ridiculous.
“This was the most expensive thing in the room. Why didn’t you wreck this?” Amber crossed her arms and smirked, “I was afraid that you would tire yourself out. So, I smashed it on your behalf. You’re welcome.”
“You!” Josh glared at her and ground his teeth. His expression was exceedingly grim.
“Oh, right, Mr. Josh. You must be aware of our policy regarding damages to our property, which require compensation equivalent to their original value, correct? Moreover, you’ve caused injuries to our staff members. It’s only fair that you cover their medical expenses.”
Amber blinked as she surveyed the mess scattered across the floor, circling her finger around it as she conducted a mental inventory. “Hmm… Based on my estimation, the items you destroyed are valued at around 40,000 dollars.
“There’s also the vase I smashed on your behalf. And let’s just say that I gave you a discount on my employees’ medical bills. That brings the total to 60,000 dollars. Please remember to settle your bill when you’re leaving, Mr. Josh. I will waive tonight’s service fee for you.”
“60,000 dollars? This is daylight robbery!” Josh gritted his teeth in anger.
“You are Mr. Josh Schmidt, the Schmidt Group’s ex-president. 60,000 dollars should be a drop in the bucket for you. You won’t even feel the pinch, will you?” Amber jeered at him.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Amber bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa, not only in appearance but also in temperament and arrogance.
The Millennium’s supervisor stared at Amber with his jaw dropped. He was so terrified that it felt like his heart had stopped.
However, more than that, he felt a little strange. They had worked together for such a long time, and somehow, she didn’t feel like the Amber he knew.
There were often customers at The Millennium who caused trouble after having too much to drink. As the owner, she had to step up to resolve the situation on multiple occasions. Situations like these always end in a peaceful resolution. She would never provoke them like that.
Nevertheless, with Josh, she looked as if she was having a standoff with her archenemy. It was obvious that she was deliberately provoking him.
Hearing the word “ex-president” completely stumped Josh.
He marched straight up to Amber. The veins on his hands were popping.
With a sudden burst of fury, he reached out and grabbed her throat, forcefully pushing her against the wall.
The onlookers were stunned, but none dared to intervene.
“Stupid bitch… Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Amber’s face swelled up and turned red. Her eyes filled with tears.
However, just as Josh expected her to concede defeat, she slowly smiled. It was a smile tinged with pain, yet it exuded nothing but mockery toward him.
“You’re smiling? Let’s see if you can keep smiling after this!” Josh was furious.
Just as he was poised to deliver his final blow, a sudden chill ran down his spine. In the next instant, someone seized his collar from behind, causing him to loosen his grip on Amber’s neck.
Immediately after, a powerful punch struck his face, leaving his nose throbbing and numb. Blood began to flow from his nostrils.
“Oof!” Josh covered his bloody nose and stumbled two steps back. He was then only able to get a good look at the person who had hit him. His attacker’s skin was fair, and his face was elegant yet frigid.
It was Jameson.
Amber coughed repeatedly, slumping to the floor as she gasped for air. Despite her distress, only one thought flashed through her mind¡ªshe wondered if Axel had made it safely out of The Millennium.
“You bastard! It was you¡ªOof!”
Before Josh could finish his sentence, Jameson took two steps forward and grabbed him by the collar. He swung yet another punch at him.
Then, a group of black-clad bodyguards entered the room. They ushered everyone out before shutting the door behind them.
