Chapter 101
The next moment, Vincent got a call from Victor, the CFO of the Rodriguez Group.
Vincent paused and gave Victor some instructions.
Victor hung up the phone and immediately went to execute the task.
About a minute later, the general manager of Pearl Building rushed out.
He asked the receptionist at the entrance: "A minute ago, did two women dressed rather plainly come
here? One was in jeans and a T-shirt and the other in a white tracksuit?”
The receptionist asked, "You mean those two women in cheap clothes?”
"What?"
That was the new owner of Pearl Building. Pearl Building had changed ownership a minute ago. It was
no longer part of the Bishop Group, but now belonged to the Rodriguez Group.
The Rodriguez Group was owned by the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven.
The general manager hurriedly asked, "Where did they go?"
The receptionist said, "I had the security kick them out. Those women in cheap clothes looked like they
couldn't afford much. To protect the image of Pearl Building, I had security kick them out."
The general manager wanted to slap the receptionist, "You don't need to come to work tomorrow. Who
told you that wearing cheap clothes mean having no money?"
"Sir, why?"
The general manager ignored the receptionist and rushed to find Roxanne and Chloe. Finally, across
the road a few dozen meters away, he saw Roxanne and Chloe preparing to get on an electric bike and
leave.
The general manager rushed over, panting heavily. "Excuse me..."
He took a moment to catch his breath. To catch up with the new owner, this bespectacled general
manager had almost risked his life, running through the greenery and sprinting all the way.
After a short rest, the general manager hurriedly asked again, "Excuse me, are you Roxanne?"
Roxanne, sitting on the electric bike, holding the handlebars, was very puzzled, "How do you know
me?"
She looked at his name badge: General Manager of Pearl Building.
Roxanne frowned instantly, "My friend and I have already left, what more do you want?"
"No, I wasn't here to drive you away. That was the negligence of my staff, I apologize."
The bespectacled general manager bowed his head in apology, which confused Roxanne even more.
What was going on?
"Ms. Martinez, you don't need to dress up to enter Pearl Building. From now on you are a special
customer here. Even if you come in slippers, we are very welcome."
Roxanne and Chloe were both confused. What happened? The people of Pearl Building, who just had
a condescending attitude, now treated her as a special customer?
Roxanne asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"
The general manager was careful. He couldn't spill the beans about the instructions from the new
chairman. "Ms. Martinez, anyway, from now on you can come and go as you please in Pearl Building.
You have things to do, don't you? Go ahead."
"How do you know my name is Roxanne?"
He didn't answer.
Roxanne was eager to get on with business, "Are you saying I can freely enter and exit Pearl Building
now?"
"Yes, this way please, I'll take you in personally."
Although she was full of doubts, she didn't have time to ask in detail. She had to see Finn as quickly as
possible.
He still owed her $13,578. He had owed this money for years now, if she didn't get it back soon, would
she ever have a chance?
The general manager led her and Chloe into Pearl Building.
Meanwhile, Vincent, sitting in his Rolls-Royce, finally sighed in relief. From now on, the people of Pearl
Building wouldn't dare to look down on Roxanne.
Just as Roxanne and Chloe were being led into Pearl Building, a few security guards dragged
Nathaniel out and threw him outside.
Roxanne glanced at this scene in passing.
She asked the general manager, "Why was that man thrown out?"
The general manager pushed up his glasses and respectfully said, "Because he offended my owner."
His owner was standing right in front of him, but she didn't know her prestigious status yet.
Chloe commented, "Anne, Nathaniel had it coming."
Indeed he did.
Roxanne looked at Nathaniel who was thrown out and looked very embarrassed.
But she didn't have time to watch this scene, "Chloe, let's go see Finn and get things done as quickly
as possible.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, at the entrance, Nathaniel, who had been thrown out, was in pain as he got up. "Why did
you throw me out? I'm an important customer of Pearl Building. I spend tens of thousands of dollars
here every year, how dare you offend me?"
The lead security guard coldly said, "You offended our owner, don't you know?"
"I don't even know who your owner is. How could I have offended them?"
"Anyway, you offended our owner. From now on, Pearl Building doesn't welcome you, don't even think
about coming in again."
The onlookers were all watching the embarrassed Nathaniel.
This was very awkward for him. He had some fame in the circle of wealthy people in Seraphim Haven.
His mother was a wealthy woman in Seraphim Haven, and his grandfather was a celebrity. If people in
the circle knew he was kicked out of Pearl Building, how embarrassing would that be? He better leave
quickly.
Nathaniel awkwardly hid in his car.
Inside Pearl Building, Roxanne was about to enter the elevator when Finn called. "Roxanne, you can't
blame me for not returning your money today. We agreed to meet at ten o'clock this morning, and it's
almost half-past ten now and you haven't arrived. You're the one who broke the agreement."
"Finn, you knew I couldn't get into Pearl Building, but you still arranged to meet me here, are you
deliberately trying not to pay me back?"
"I brought over thirteen grand in cash today, all ready to pay you back. It ain't my fault you couldn't get
in."
"Are you still at the Lotus Luxury Hotel suite?"
"What's up?"
"Just wait for me there."
By the time Roxanne made it to the Lotus Luxury Hotel, Finn had already bolted. That shameless jerk
ran off again.
In this day and age, it was always the debtors who seemed to be more arrogant than the creditors.
Chloe comforted her, "Anne, don't get mad, there'll be another opportunity."
The manager asked, "Ms. Martinez, did something happen at the Lotus Luxury Hotel that upset you?"
"He owes me money and he's not paying up," Roxanne was still fuming inside.
The manager said, "Ms. Martinez, do you want me to help you recover this debt?"
Roxanne gave him a suspicious look, "What's your game?"
He suddenly let her into the Pearl Building, and now he wanted to help her collect her debt? She didn't
believe the manager's suddenly turned generous. He must be up to something. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
But she could never guess that it was because she was about to become the future lady of the
Rodriguez Group.
