I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 199

Seeing Oliver brimming with confidence, Calista couldn’t help but feel a bit reassured, though her worry still lingered on her face.

With his head briefly lowered in contemplation, Oliver then looked up and addressed the group, “While Yancy is asleep, let’s get prepared. We should locate a hotel and check in without delay. There are many familiar faces in this area, and it wouldn’t be ideal for Yaya if word were to spread.”

Frederick was the first to raise his hand and nod in agreement. “All right, all right. We also wouldn’t want to leave any psychological impact on Yancy.”

Calista also nodded in concurrence.

In the past, she might have fretted over the expenses, but now, she had no worries. Oliver was raking in so much money that spending a little was no big deal.

Naturally, Frederick and Lillian had no objections either. With Oliver taking charge, the financial burden was on his shoulders, and they could relax.

Without delay, Oliver called Yvonne and instructed her to reserve the entire top floor of the Radiance Hotel.

The top floor of the Radiance Hotel boasted the most luxurious accommodations, featuring numerous presidential suites and deluxe business suites. Securing the whole floor for a day would come at around 20,000 dollars.

When Oliver made the phone arrangements, Lillian and Frederick overheard the conversation, and the couple couldn’t help but feel a hidden sense of astonishment.

Lillian’s cousin, who had joined Radiance Hotel after completing university, had previously informed her that the most affordable rate for a presidential suite at Radiance Hotel was 18,000 dollars per day, which even exceeded her entire annual income.

At that moment, upon learning that Oliver had reserved Radiance Hotel’s presidential suites and rented the entire floor, Lillian couldn’t help but ponder, “A single suite costs over 16,000 dollars, so how much would the entire floor be?”

From this point, one could make a rough estimate of Oliver’s wealth. Only a true billionaire would be willing to spend money in such a lavish manner.

Lillian exchanged a discreet look with Frederick and then swiftly proceeded to gather Yancy’s clothing and supplies.

Calista, on the other hand, was more direct. She waved her hand and instructed Lillian and Frederick, “We’re in a hurry, so don’t bring too much. We can buy whatever we need later; there are numerous malls near Radiance Hotel.”

Frederick nodded, but he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Of course, Calista, but… I have less than 40 dollars left…”

Furrowing her brow, Calista quickly offered a solution. “In that case, I’ll look after Yancy’s needs. Is that okay?”

Frederick’s lips moved, but he ultimately remained silent, pondering, “Calista buying something for Yancy doesn’t imply that I have cash on hand. It’s better not to bring this up now and risk upsetting

Oliver.”

Radiance Hotel was an upscale establishment, and expenses there were not a concern since Oliver was covering the bills.

Packing didn’t take long, and within ten minutes, they were on their way. While heading downstairs, Oliver picked up Yancy, and they all settled into the car with Calista.

Frederick and Lillian, along with Melinda, sensibly got into another car. As soon as they got in, the three of them were in awe of the vehicle’s opulence.

At that very moment, all three of them thought in unison, “This is incredibly extravagant!”

Despite lacking significant academic or professional achievements, Frederick still had some knowledge about cars. He recognized this as a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a car that cost well over 2 million dollars. Most people wouldn’t be able to afford it in a lifetime!

While he had once been a dreamer with ambitions of becoming rich, he had never had the luck to match. Nevertheless, with Oliver’s affluence now a part of his life, he began to entertain thoughts, contemplating, “Is there even a slim possibility that I could partake in Oliver’s fortune? After all, didn’t I previously lay claim to the money in Calista’s purse as if it were mine? Despite straining my relationship with Oliver, hasn’t Yancy’s situation somewhat repaired our bond. today?”

During the car ride, Frederick refrained from discussing Yancy’s illness and instead described the car’s luxury and staggering price to Lillian and Melinda. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Simon was at the wheel, and he possessed limited knowledge regarding Oliver’s family dynamics or relationships. He didn’t see a need to delve into those details. He simply followed the orders provided by Oliver. Consequently, he harbored. neither special fondness nor aversion toward Frederick. To him, it was simply another duty delegated by Oliver.

Impressed, Lillian suddenly remembered they were on their way to Radiance Hotel and quickly retrieved her phone to call her cousin, Scarlett Sherman. Scarlett worked as a housekeeping department supervisor at Radiance Hotel. Since Lillian had this connection, she decided to contact Scarlett and ask about potential discounts. Lillian saw this as an opportunity to improve her relationship with Oliver.

When the call connected, Scarlett’s voice carried through. “Lillian, I’m currently at work. I’ll come to visit Yancy once my shift ends.”

“It’s not about that.” Lillian didn’t beat around the bush. “Scarlett, we want to book

a few rooms at Radiance Hotel. Can you help us in getting a discount?”

Scarlett was surprised. “You guys wish to stay at Radiance Hotel? Isn’t Yancy’s treatment already a substantial expense? The most basic room here costs over 200 dollars a night. Why expend so much?”

Clearing her throat, Lillian elaborated. “I… won’t be footing the bill; it’s the son of Frederick’s elder sister who’s covering the costs. He’s deeply concerned for Yancy and finds it convenient to house all of us at Radiance Hotel. Can you-”

“All right,” Scarlett promptly agreed upon hearing that someone else would be covering the expenses. After all, attracting guests was beneficial for her performance. She asked, “Lillian, how many rooms do you need? We can consider standard rooms, which can accommodate multiple occupants and offer the cost advantage of two beds. The regular rate is 335 dollars, but I can arrange an internal discount at 170 dollars—”

“No standard rooms.” Lillian recalled Oliver’s preference for the top-floor presidential suites and business suites. She promptly added, “We want the top-floor presidential suites and business suites… In fact, we’d like to secure the entire top floor. Is there any possibility of getting a discount for this arrangement?”

“Top floor? Presidential suites and business suites?” Scarlett hesitated for a moment. It seemed as though she was engaged in a hushed conversation with a nearby colleague. Then she responded to Lillian, “Lillian, I’m afraid that’s not possible. The top floor has already been reserved by a guest for two presidential suites and six business suites. They booked it for a full week at the regular rate of 64,000 dollars, and they didn’t seek any discount…”

Lillian was taken aback but soon realized that the person behind the reservation must be Oliver. She promptly urged, “Scarlett, that’s our booking. Can you please try to secure a discount?”

Scarlett also appeared surprised and asked with a hint of confusion, “You… made the reservation? Is this for real, Lillian? I’ve never known you to have such affluent relatives. Which elder sister of Frederick is this, or perhaps his god-sister?”

Lillian spa, “Enough with the god-sister. It’s Frederick’s real sister. We’re en route, and we should arrive in… approximately ten minutes. We’re traveling in two

cars…”

At this juncture, Lillian turned to Frederick and asked, “What kind of car is this? A ‘Roll something’?”

“Rolls-Royce Phantom,” Frederick whispered.

Lillian echoed his words, “Rolls-Royce Phantom, a car that costs over 2 million dollars, black, more expensive than a Mercedes-Benz. We’ll be there shortly, so please, do your best to secure a discount!”

Scarlett was both surprised and troubled. “A discount…”

She began to ponder, “How can I manage that? I’m just the supervisor in the

housekeeping department. If they had asked before making the reservation, I might have been able to assist. But now that the guest has already booked at this rate, even if I were to approach them for a discount, would the hotel be willing to refund the money?”
