The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1323

Chapter 1323 Upset 

Yvette hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation until the waitstaff approached her for the payment. 

“What? Did you say you’re taking four silver coins? I thought the fee was set at two silver coins per session!” Yvette suddenly burst into a shrill scream. 

She would be down to four silver coins following the payment, yet Wynter still held five silver coins after securing the phone. Yvette couldn’t bear the thought that Wynter had won out over her in coin count. 

Yvette’s frustration was shared by many aristocratic families behind her, who rose from their seats in 

outrage. 

That was the exact scenario Kenton dreaded the most. After all, those who dared to challenge Serenity Hotel were merely asking for trouble. 

Before Kenton could intervene, he heard Yvette bellow, “Are you kidding me? Why are the rules constantly changing? Why haven’t you informed anyone?” 

“Please keep your temper in check, Ms. Yates. Such arrangements were made following Mr. Wray’s instructions. He requested that the admission of the Chamber of Commerce be conducted fairly and impartially. 

“Plús, there’s more to our auction than simply winning an item. As merchants, you should be mindful of the market’s pitfalls,” the waitstaff refuted calmly. 

As Yvette wasn’t proficient in business, she didn’t grasp the waitstaff’s underlying message. Yet, the businessmen behind her understood the meaning immediately. 

The rules were clearly outlined below the auction item, though they were phrased with the streetwise sensibility of regular citizens. 

It was akin to how a seafood restaurant might advertise low prices, but customers needed to clarify whether the price was per piece or portion. If the food was priced by weight, the cost would be unexpectedly high. 

A misperception would lead to significant losses. Although the price was clearly marked, the unit was deliberately left unclear. If a merchant had failed to grasp such details, they weren’t fit for business. 

The businessmen hadn’t expected to be caught out by such a tricky rule and complained angrily, “No one will notice what’s written below when they’re drawn to the flashy item. Besides, the special rule was written in such small print. Is the hotel screwing with us?” 

The waitstaff instantly directed their attention to the clamoring group. Eventually, Kenton’s greatest fear came to pass. To make matters worse, the situation seemed harder to resolve compared to Lynette’s troubles. 

At that exact moment, a masculine voice from the second floor echoed through the hall. “Is this what the Wray family can do? Complaining to the organizer after falling into a market’s trap? 

“In that case, there’s no need for a fair selection. It’ll be much easier for Mr. Wray to choose whoever he prefers for the admission of the Chamber of Commerce.” 

Though the mysterious voice was laced with a casual tone, its words were tinged with mockery. 

Kenton was deeply perturbed. Just who was behind Serenity Hotel? Why were they suddenly speaking with such mockery? Was the hotel’s owner such a character? 

Kenton’s questions remained unanswered. However, he knew he had suffered complete humiliation

during the auction. Unfortunately, it was only the beginning of his troubles.

Without warning, the mysterious owner delivered a stern directive. “Those accusing the hotel of fraud will be shown to the door. And Mr. Wray, if you can’t handle the loss, you’re free to leave as well.” 

However, no one would admit defeat under such circumstances. 

Upon hearing the remark, Kenton hurriedly explained, That wasn’t our intention, sir. We’ll fully adhere to the auction rules. We admit we were careless and overlooked such important details. As merchants, we accept the consequences of our oversight.” 

“And what about Serenity Hotel’s reputation?” asked the mysterious owner. The shift in his tone suggested he had settled into a more relaxed position. 

“I’ll provide compensation!” Kenton swiftly replied.
