Chapter 197 The Owner of Spring City Hotel
Hazel said, “It’s the man who was on the lawn earlier, talking on the phone with the teacher
Violeta raised her eyes slightly and saw Oliver.
Oliver had come up to find Grace. Earlier, Grace had hung up on him, and after some thought, he worried that she might be angry. So he came up to explain himself. If she didn’t like the roses, he would have someone take them away.
“Grace.”
Grace got a headache as soon as she saw Oliver. Tve told you, call me Ms. Parker!
Vivian and her group heard their conversation and stopped in their tracks. Everyone turned their gaze towards Oliver.
So this man was the wealthy real estate tycoon from Heokrish? The one pursuing Grace!?
Vivian frowned. The guy in front of her had a strong presence. He wasn’t super muscular, but his suit made him look every bit like a mature man.
Oliver was a head taller than Declan. He walked over to stand beside Grace.
The two of them looked like a perfect match.
Mostly because Oliver took good care of himself and had a strong presence.
Unlike Declan, who had worn himself out over the years with smoking, drinking, and socialising.
Seeing this contrast…
Vivian felt a pang of jealousy. How could Grace, at her age, still meet such a great guy while Declan had turned out like this? The comparison made her feel really bitter!
No wonder Grace wasn’t interested in Declan earlier.
fshe were in Grace’s shoes, she wouldn’t be interested either,
If s
Grace was Vivian’s arch–enemy, and Vivian refused to admit that she was worse off than Grace. So she quickly looked away and walked off.
Oliver said, “Aren’t ‘Ms. Parker‘ and ‘Grace‘ the same? Calling your first name makes it sound like we’re close.”
Grace said, “Stop joking around. We’re not that close.”
Oliver changed the subject. “Why did you all come up here?”
Hazel responded, “We came up to check the surveillance footage. They falsely accused Ms. Parker of seducing that pig
“What?”

His dark eyes grew even darker. “Did you find the footage?”
Grace took out her phone. “No, I was just about to call the police.”
This matter had to be handled properly. She wouldn’t just stand by and watch her decades–long reputation be ruined.
The hotel refused to let her check the surveillance footage, so Grace suspected that they had colluded with Vivian.
In that case, she would call the police!
Oliver
What?
said, “No need to call the police. I’m the owner of this hotel. Let’s go check the footage.”
Vivian and her group, who were leaving, immediately stopped in their tracks when they heard this.
No way!
Wait, this guy owns the Spring City Hotel?
Violeta, who was in the middle of a call, was taken aback. Just then, the call connected, and Zoren’s voice came through: “Hello, Vio, what’s up?”
She asked,… Zoren, where are you?”
Zoren replied, “I’m at the arcade on Westwood Lane.”
She said, “Nothing, just thought of asking you to swing by Spring City, but never mind now. Enjoy your time.
He was taken aback. “Oh… ‘
But before he could finish his words, Violeta hung up.
Zoren glanced at the screen after the call ended, murmuring. “Vio hung up so quickly, I didn’t even get to finish what I was saying.”
Liam and his friends, who were playing pool nearby, heard Zoren’s words.
He teased, “Who’s calling so late? Which girl is it this time?”
Zoren replied, “Mind your own business. It’s Vio.
Hayden asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
Zoren pocketed his phone. “Who knows? She just mentioned wanting me to swing by Spring City Hotel, but then said it wasn’t necessary/Probably nothing serious. But there’s something fun going on in Spring City tonight.”
Jasper chimed in, “Is it about Grace Parker and Vivian Montclair? Should we go and join the fun?”
Jasper had been with Lucy before, so naturally, he had heard about the love–hate relationship between her master Vivian and her rival Grace Resides this matter wasn’t a secret within their circle Even though

many years had passed, the fiery relationship between these two women was still worth watching.
“Let’s go,” Hayden said, putting down his pool cue.
Zoren teased, “Hayden, since when did you become interested in gossip and joining in on the fun?”
After leaving the pool room, the group drove to the Spring City Hotel.
Meanwhile, at Spring City Hotel…
In the surveillance room, everyone was surprised to find out that Oliver was the owner of the Spring City Hotel.
“You’re the owner?”
“Yeah.”
Grace looked surprised, but then quickly shifted her gaze to the other side, where she stared at Vivian.
Vivian turned pale, completely caught off guard by this revelation.
Declan’s expression mirrored Vivian’s, equally surprised but also tinged with fear.
Oh no…
If they pull up the surveillance footage, wouldn’t everything be over?!
Grace and the others walked back to the surveillance room. The captain of the security team inside, seeing them return, used the same tone as before. “Why are you back again? Didn’t we already tell you that we couldn’t access the surveillance?”
The captain of the security team, a minor character, didn’t recognise Oliver.
Plus, Oliver didn’t often visit Quinston, so he quietly took out his phone and called the hotel manager.
