Joel had met Flynn at the Dream Club.
He also encountered him at the Peninsula Hotel.
Coming from a wealthy family, one that earned millions each year, Joel relied on the family’s accumulated wealth to live comfortably within his own circle.
It was through this lifestyle that he got to know the manager of Peninsula Hotel.
Upon hearing that Madeline had divorced, he felt particularly delighted and immediately agreed to help.
He saw this as an opportunity to impress the beautiful Madeline, win her favor, and naturally make her his.
…
Flynn and Trusova entered the Peninsula Hotel.
The manager here had met Flynn before and upon seeing him, quickly made a call to Marcel.
Marcel arrived promptly and arranged the best private room for Flynn, personally serving him drinks and showing extreme respect.
Trusova was once again astonished.
She couldn’t help but marvel at Flynn’s extraordinary connections.
Meanwhile, Joel and Madeline also met at Peninsula Hotel.
They found a seat in the lobby and sat down.
Without wasting any time, Madeline sighed and said, “Mr. Washington, I have no other options left. You must help me!”
“If I can’t meet Mr. Kennedy, I’ll lose two hundred million.”
“The consequences will be troublesome.”
After saying this, she suddenly felt so far away from Marcel. She had to find people to help her get a chance to meet him.
But she had never felt this way before.
Madeline was puzzled, unsure of what went wrong.
After hearing the whole story, Joel cursed angrily, “Flynn is just a psychologically twisted piece of trash, so evil.”
“Fortunately, you divorced him. Otherwise, there’s a chance he could go crazy one day and even kill you!”
“I can only blame myself for being blind and misjudging him.” Madeline sighed and asked, “Mr. Washington, what’s the relationship between Mr. Norris and Mr. Hill?”
“Can he help resolve this matter?”
Joel shook his head, “You should know that Mr. Hill has an explosive personality and is ruthless in his actions. Apart from Orion, he’s the most difficult person to deal with.”
“Although Mr. Norris is one of Mr. Hill’s trusted subordinates, I’m not certain.”
“And you should also know that, whether Marcel or Mr. Norris can help speak for you, it’s still uncertain!”
“Don’t be fooled by my platinum membership here. It’s not that useful.”
“Mr. Norris is willing to meet me just to give my father face.”
“Oh, I see!” Disappointment flashed in Madeline’s eyes as she sought an alternative, “Then can you introduce me and let me talk to Mr. Hill in person?”
She felt a wave of coldness in her heart.
Being a platinum member of Peninsula Hotel wasn’t cheap.
Just obtaining this membership alone cost one million, and annual expenses had to exceed two million; otherwise, the platinum membership would be revoked.
If even such a distinguished guest couldn’t receive Krish Norris’s favor, it meant that seeing Marcel would be as difficult as reaching the sky!
At that moment, a man in a suit walked over, his face stern, clearly not someone to be trifled with.
As he descended from the second floor, the diners in the lobby stood up, greeting him one after another.
“Mr. Norris, hello!”
A middle-aged woman respectfully bowed, and Madeline recognized her as the owner of a chain of three supermarkets, worth hundreds of millions.
The stern-looking man didn’t even glance at her.
“Hello, Mr. Norris. Would you honor us by sitting down for a drink?” A middle-aged man at a nearby table stood up, raising his glass.
Madeline also recognized him.
The middle-aged man was the owner of a construction company, worth over a billion.
Only then did the stern-looking man pause for a moment, waved his hand, and then walked toward Joel.
Witnessing this scene, Madeline couldn’t help but be amazed.
This person was just too formidable.
So many bosses politely greeted him, yet he barely acknowledged them, exuding an air of importance.
“Madeline, this is Krish Norris, the most capable subordinate of Mr. Hill, the general manager of Peninsula Hotel,” Joel quickly introduced.
Madeline hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Krish.
“Mr. Norris, hello!”
Even one of Marcel’s subordinates could make bosses worth billions bow their heads, showing just how terrifying Marcel’s connections and power were.
Krish glanced indifferently at Madeline and turned to Joel, saying, “Do you have something to discuss with me?”
As Marcel’s most trusted subordinate, Krish often handled shady matters on his behalf. After Black Wolf was crippled by Flynn, Marcel’s trust in Krish deepened.
Naturally, he had the confidence to look down on others.
Joel explained, “Oh, it’s like this. My friend here is the president of the Kaur’s Group.”
“We had a cooperation with Peninsula Group, but there have been some issues…”
Joel briefly explained the situation.
Krish’s brow furrowed.
Marcel had numerous business interests, and this was a cooperation with another company, something Krish was not aware of.
He also didn’t understand the reasons behind it.
But if Mr. Hill had made a decision about this matter, there must be a reason for it.
Krish didn’t dare to interfere recklessly.
“I can’t help you with this matter!” Krish directly refused.
“What?!” Madeline’s face was filled with disappointment and panic.
She had thought that by appealing to Joel and Krish, there would be a glimmer of hope in this matter.
But Krish didn’t even give Joel any face, let alone consider making an introduction to Marcel.
Madeline said, “Mr. Norris, please help me. If you can help me meet Mr. Hill, I am willing to offer a reward of five hundred thousand!”
“If you can convince Mr. Hill to change his mind, I will give you one million!”
Upon hearing this, Krish chuckled and shook his head.
Joel was shocked and quickly apologized, “Mr. Norris, my friend is not familiar with such matters and doesn’t understand your situation. Please forgive her.”
Krish waved his hand and smiled lightly, “Young lady, do you know how many people ask me for favors every day?”
“Do you know what prices they offer?”
“Five hundred thousand? Do I look like I’m begging?”
Joel shook his head and whispered to Madeline, “If you want to ask Mr. Norris for help, you need to offer at least two million. Your five hundred thousand is no different from insulting him!”
Two million?
Madeline was extremely shaken.
He was just one of Marcel’s subordinates!
“Sorry, Mr. Norris, I misspoke.”
“Can you please reconsider? As long as you help me resolve this matter, I will give you ten million!”
Although ten million was a hefty sum, compared to compensating two hundred million, she was willing to pay that amount.
Krish shook his head again, “It’s not a matter of money. I just don’t want to get involved in this matter, understand?”
“Alright, you two can continue eating. Mr. Hill is upstairs entertaining important guests, and I need to go and serve them.”
After saying this, Krish walked upstairs without even looking back.
“What should we do, Mr. Washington? Mr. Norris refused to help!” Madeline was completely anxious, tears of helplessness streaming down her face.
Joel, seeing the beautiful woman in tears, clenched his teeth and stomped his foot, saying, “Madeline, don’t worry. I still have a way!”
“I’ve been reluctant to use this connection, but for you, I’ll go all out!”
Upon hearing these words, hope ignited in Madeline’s heart once again, and she gratefully said, “If you can handle this, I will definitely thank you properly!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll invite him over right away!” Joel made a call.
After a brief conversation, he hung up the phone and excitedly said, “Madeline, Clayton is coming soon! As long as he intervenes, Mr. Hill will definitely give some face!”
“Clayton?” Madeline frowned.
She had never heard of this person before.
Joel was momentarily stunned but quickly smiled and explained, “Oh, sorry! I got too excited and forgot to introduce him.”
“It’s normal that you don’t know Mr. Robinson because he’s from Pelens, the Robinson family, worth billions, and has business dealings with Mr. Hill!”
“Mr. Robinson is quite capable himself, serving as the captain of a special forces unit in Dragon Cavalry with the rank of captain.”
“He arrived in Niarak yesterday, and with him intervening, this matter will surely be resolved!”
