Chapter 309

 309:
Linsey stood there, dumbfounded, trying to process the sudden shift. Gorman’s assistant frowned deeply and called out to the security personnel behind him.
“What are you waiting for? Remove him at once!”
Almost immediately, two bodyguards approached and seized the hotel manager. As they pulled him away, his face blanched and he began to shout, drawing the gazes of everyone nearby.
Linsey’s frown deepened, her confusion growing. “What exactly is happening here?”
Danny Spall, Gorman’s assistant, addressed Linsey in an unyielding tone. “Ms. Brooks, it’s come to my attention that the hotel manager showed you disrespect earlier. Rest assured, he will be disciplined. Let us not dwell on these minor irritants. Mr. Green is waiting for us upstairs.”
Linsey remained rooted in place, her gaze locked on the hotel manager who quivered on the floor, his face etched with fear.
“What do you mean by that?” Linsey’s voice was tinged with concern.
The thought of dismissing him seemed too harsh; after all, she had barely been bothered by the encounter. Instances like this were not unfamiliar to her; she tended to overlook them unless they crossed a line.
She couldn’t help but feel that taking action against the manager for such a petty issue was blowing things out of proportion.
Her shock deepened as Danny replied with chilling calmness, “We’ll simply break one of his legs.”
“What?” Linsey’s voice cracked, her disbelief palpable.
All this because he was a little rude? And now the poor bastard was about to get his leg snapped like a twig?

“What the hell? That’s cruel and unnecessary!” Linsey’s protest grew louder, her tone fraught with urgency. “He barely did anything, and I couldn’t care less—call them off before this goes too far!”
She stood, bewildered by the extreme measures. What was it with these affluent circles and their disproportionate responses to trivial slights? Danny regarded Linsey with wide eyes, his expression one of utter surprise.
“Ms. Brooks, are you seriously suggesting we let him go?”
Linsey’s patience frayed, and her voice carried a tinge of irritation. “What else could I possibly mean?”
She shook her head, her tone sharpening. “I certainly hope you weren’t serious about breaking his leg. That’s barbaric—he’s a human being, not some disposable plaything.”
After a brief pause, Danny’s shoulders slumped slightly in submission. “Alright then. If that’s what you want, we’ll go with it.”
He lifted his hand, signaling his men to release the captive manager. With a stern gaze, he warned, “Remember, Ms. Brooks is a distinguished guest of Mr. Green. Any further disrespect towards her won’t be taken lightly.”
His voice dropped to a frosty whisper as he snapped at the hotel manager, “Well? What are you waiting for? Thank Ms. Brooks now!”
The manager shuddered, his voice quivering as he bowed over and over. “Thank you, Ms. Brooks! I swear it won’t happen again!”
Despite the resolution, Linsey couldn’t shake off her discomfort, but she managed a nod. “It’s fine. You’re free to go.”
