Chapter 1021

It’s written in a book that we must be serious when we part ways with someone. That’s because we

won’t know if we’ll ever get to reunite with that person again. So, does this mean that without

separation, there’ll be no purpose to wait anymore?

Summer’s surgery was very successful. In merely six hours, his surgery was done. As for Amy, she

was brought back to us together with her sister, Ann.

Staring at the two sisters, I smiled, “Since you’ve already made your choice, I guess it’s time for us to

say our goodbyes!” It was totally understandable for Ann to take her away. Since Amy is still a child, it

probably was best to not let her undergo surgery at such a young age. Anyhow, everything still turned

out well in the end.

Ann grabbed Amy’s hand and gave me a bow to express their gratitude before uttering, “Ms. Stovall, I

know that you’ve helped us a lot, and we are very grateful for that. Although we can’t ask for your

forgiveness, maybe we can pay you back in different ways. If possible, you guys should go to the

basement of the Imperial Hotel. There might be something of your interest there. Besides that, you

need to know that Brandon’s boss is the real mastermind behind all of this. That person must be

eradicated before more kids become his victims and end up like us.”

After finishing her sentence, she took Amy and left. I didn’t bother asking where they were headed as I

knew that a smart girl like Ann would be able to take care of both Amy and herself.

After putting Summer in Cameron’s care, I headed over to the Imperial Hotel together with

Zachary. The nightclub here belongs to Armond. If anything goes awry here, I’ll be in trouble.

The Imperial Hotel looked like a desolated building during the day. There were only a few employees,

who were on the day shift, standing at the front desk. Upon seeing the two of us, two girls walked up to

us and asked about our purpose here.

At this moment, I signaled Zachary to make a distraction. He then proceeded to feign illness in front of

the girls. Out of concern, two of them went up to help him.

“Miss, if I’m not mistaken, there’s a hotel upstairs right? My father and I are here on a business trip and

we can’t seem to find a suitable hotel for us to stay in. And because of the long trip, my father is

exhausted. Can you get us two rooms to rest for the time being?”

The two of them pondered for a while before answering, “Okay. However, since we also have a

nightclub here, it’ll be quite noisy at night. Are you two okay with that?”

I nodded and replied, “Yes, it’s no big deal. Now, can you help my father up to the toom first while I

check in?”

One of the girls helped Zachary up the stairs while the other one helped me with check in.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside. I went with the girl to check out the noise. Glancing out the

window, our jaws dropped. The girl turned to me and apologized, “Sorry, please wait here for a

moment.”

She then rushed outside to deal with the person who had just broken one of the glass windows. In the

meantime, I scrutinized the lobby with my eyes, trying to find the entrance to the basement.

If what Ann said was true, then where did she find the entrance?

Having thought about it for a while, my guess was that it was hidden in Brandon’s office. At this time of

the day, there shouldn’t be any people in the office area. Then, I went on to notify the receptionist just

now that I was heading upstairs first.

As she was still busy dealing with the commotion outside, she only gave me a terse response. I took a

glance at the person who broke the glass window before heading toward the elevator.

According to Ann, Brandon’s office was situated on the top floor. I was rather perplexed when I first

heard it from her. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the big boss of the nightclub be the one who

gets the office on the top floor? Why did a manager like him gets to have the office instead?

Without thinking too much about it, I took the elevator to the top floor. To my surprise, there wasn’t any

office on the top floor. Instead, there was another floor above the supposedly top floor.

“Mrs. Fuller!”

Joseph, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, almost gave me a heart attack. Seeing him standing

at the elevator entrance on the floor above, I was a bit baffled. “What’s the matter?” I queried.

He frowned and replied, “This elevator here might be our way into the basement. However, this

elevator needs a specific fingerprint in order to access it. We can’t seem to find a way to open it.”

I paused for a second. “Then, how did Ann find the way to get in?”

After pondering for a while, I came to an answer. The kid named Jody who was always wandering

around at the Imperial Hotel must’ve told Ann about the secret entrance. Since Jody has been here for

so many years, he would’ve known about it unequivocally!
