Chapter 267: Chapter 266: 266 Accidental Encounter at the Hotel_1

Having successfully sent Greg Jensen to the patrol office, Cindy Harrison was ecstatic, remaining in a state of excitement all day long.

She seemed to see Greg Jensen getting sentenced, Dreamscape Garden left untended, and eventually, even the garden itself, along with the entire kitchen staff, would fall into her hands.

Then, under her management, Dreamscape Garden would thrive, earning at least tens of millions every year.

However, no matter how well she planned, it was all vulnerable to the harsh slap of reality.

Cindy Harrison thought that once Greg Jensen was in, with no one to manage Dreamscape Garden, it would surely descend into chaos.

Instead, not only did Dreamscape Garden avoid turmoil, but it also operated better and better, bustling with customers every day.

Even managing to stay busy from lunchtime all the way until dinner.

In contrast, the sales at Harrison Private Kitchen plummeted, not even reaching a third of its previous sales.

Harrison Private Kitchen was a rented space, with rent and staff wages to pay, she faced significant expenses every morning upon waking.

Judy Lampe advised, “Han Han, don’t panic, Greg just went in, and it’s normal for Dreamscape Garden not to be in chaos yet.

Don’t think about anything else these days, just focus on preparing for the wedding. Once you’re married, Dreamscape Garden will probably also be about the same.”

“Mm.”

Feeling somewhat better, Cindy Harrison said, “Auntie, keep an eye on things these days, I need to familiarize myself with the wedding company’s procedures in the afternoon, and I have to visit the hotel.”

“No problem.”

…

Jamae University women’s dormitory.

Vince Cooper and Ryan Lampe sat up all night, Angela Stuart did not return the entire night, and no one answered when they called her.

Thinking of what Greg Jensen had told them, the two of them panicked.

When they tried calling Greg Jensen, Trey Holmes answered the call. He did not go into specifics but said that Greg had gone in and would get back to them with a definite update later.

“Ran Ran, Mr. Jensen won’t be in trouble, will he?”

“No, Mr. Jensen is so capable,” Ryan Lampe said with a firm look in her eyes.

…

Soon, Adrian Wright, Spencer Burley, and others also received news of Greg Jensen going in.

At first, they were very worried, but after learning that Greg Jensen had gone in on purpose, they were reassured.

Spencer Burley said resentfully, “This Cindy Harrison, she’s really loathsome.”

Jaden Ford reminded, “Spencer, Brother Greg didn’t want us worrying, so he specifically asked Ms. Holmes to inform us. You can’t talk about this outside.”

“I know, I’m just venting at home,” Spencer Burley responded.

Adrian Wright laughed and said, “Tracy, you’ll have to keep an eye on him from now on. Spencer has no other flaws, but he’s got a quick tongue.”

“Get lost!”

Spencer Burley glared at him and then glanced at Tracy Miles beside him, letting out a somewhat frustrated sigh.

Since that meal they had together, his relationship with Tracy Miles was settled.

In just a few days, not only did the Burley family approve of Tracy Miles, but even Adrian Wright, his long-term close friend, thought highly of her.

With everyone around them in agreement, Spencer Burley’s objections were in vain, unless he wanted to cut ties with everyone.

Louisa Burley, seeing her brother’s frustrated look, couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Spencer, Tracy is a good catch. You’d better not let her down, hear me?”

“I know,” Spencer Burley muttered.

Tracy Miles, usually quite straightforward in her speech and actions, suddenly said in a soft voice, “That… prescription that Brother Greg gave me, I’ve started taking it. It works well, and I seem to have slimmed down a bit recently.”

“Losing weight should be done gradually. If it really doesn’t work out, then just stop. You can’t destroy your health just to slim down.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

Spencer Burley said this partly because he was indeed worried that Jaden Ford would ruin her health, but also because he had a habit of speaking his mind impulsively.

However, to Jaden Ford, hearing this filled her with joy, and even the way she looked at Spencer Burley seemed to shine with a light only a girl in love would have.

As a child of a prestigious family, she had little say in her marriage. If she hadn’t deliberately gained weight, she probably would have been married off to some wealthy heir by now.

This was her last chance. If she didn’t get married soon, her parents would force her to lose weight and marry her off to another affluent family.

Luckily for her, Spencer Burley was her type, not only handsome but also devoid of the vices often found in rich second generations.

The Burley family atmosphere was also good, warm, and full of humanity, unlike the cold relationships between parents and siblings in other wealthy families.

After spending time with him over these days, she had gradually fallen for Spencer Burley, which is why she had recently started to lose weight.

“Sigh, I wonder how Greg is doing in there. It’s almost that time with Cindy Harrison. She is so malicious. Greg is such a good person.”

Originally, Greg was going to be taken to the detention center, but Brandon Brent had pulled some strings, allowing him to temporarily stay at the inspection office.

Louisa Burley had never been to such a place and imagined the conditions to be particularly bad. Thinking of Greg spending several days in such poor conditions made her heart uneasy.

Hearing her words, Adrian Wright and the others gave her strange looks.

It was clear to everyone that Louisa Burley had fallen for Greg.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

While they wouldn’t mind seeing the two of them together, the problem was that Louisa was already engaged, and it was said that her fiance came from a significant background.

If anything serious happened between them, not only would Greg be in trouble, but the Burley family wouldn’t be spared either.

Jaden Ford was also aware of the issue. Seeing the mood getting a bit somber, she suggested with a smile:

“Why don’t we go out for lunch? I heard that the head chef at Riversky Inn has been discharged from the hospital and has returned to work. Let’s have lunch there.”

“Great, let’s go quickly, or we’ll miss the lunchtime.”

When it came to food, Louisa Burley became enthusiastic and didn’t forget to say, “Let’s order a few extra dishes to send some to Greg.”

Hearing this, Spencer Burley immediately responded, “I’ll go deliver it!”

They drove to the Riversky Inn, planning to find a private room, but Louisa Burley felt the lively atmosphere of the main hall was better, so they sat down in the first-floor hall.

As an established restaurant in Jamae, Riversky Inn was known for its fast service. In no time, several signature dishes were served.

Louisa Burley usually stayed at home and had few opportunities to go out, so she wasn’t familiar with dining out.

Seeing the beautifully prepared dishes, her eyes immediately lit up.

Just as everyone was about to start eating, Cindy Harrison approached from a distance, smiling and saying, “Mr. Burley, Miss Burley, hello. Oh, and Mr. Wright is here too.”

Her wedding to Ethan Locke was set to take place at Riversky Inn, and she was there today to check out the venue and have a rehearsal.

Seeing both Spencer Burley and Adrian Wright, she decided to come over and greet them.

She was aware that these two were close to Greg, but she reasoned that Greg was already detained, and soon she would become Mrs. Locke.

If Spencer Burley and Adrian Wright had any sense, they surely wouldn’t offend her, and perhaps considering the Locke family’s influence, they might even call her a friend.

She enjoyed making friends. The wealthier they were, the closer she wanted to be.

“Hello, Miss Harrison.”

Spencer Burley and Adrian Wright certainly didn’t want to provoke the Locke family, and Greg had specifically had Trey Holmes tell them to avoid conflict with Cindy Harrison during this time.

So, when they saw her approaching, both of them greeted her at the same time.

“Hello, Miss Harrison.”

Louisa Burley greeted her with a smile, then turned her head and whispered, “Tracy, who is this person?”

Judy Lampe glanced at Cindy Harrison and frowned, saying, “That’s Ethan Locke’s fiancee, and also Greg’s ex-girlfriend.”
