247: Chapter 250: Maintenance 247: Chapter 250: Maintenance Several people were talking when the door was suddenly knocked.
Jas Brown shouted to co in, and the door opened.
Charlotte Davis, the manager of L Hotel, ca in with so police officers, accompanied by Christopher Taylor and those two n.
Seeing the police enter, Gina Lopez, lody Yoody, and Sunny Nguyen all frowned slightly, and they were also sowhat confused, while Alice Brown seed a bit panicked at this mont.
Clearly, Christopher Taylor bringing the police was directly targeting Jas Brown and her.
“That’s the guy, take him away for !” Christopher Taylor, upon seeing Jas Brown, imdiately barked angrily.
The police officers imdiately rushed towards Jas Brown, but Charlotte Davis, the manager, quickly stretched out her arms to stop the police, wearing a professional smile, said, “Mayor Johnson, is there so kind of misunderstanding here?”
Christopher Taylor snorted, “This guy hit , what misunderstanding could there be?
Better step aside, or I’ll arrest you too.”
Charlotte Davis then said firmly but respectfully: “Mayor Johnson, I’m a nobody, whether you arrest or not is just a matter of words for you.
However, since our hotel opened, nothing like this has ever occurred.
Now you want to make an arrest inside our hotel, doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?”
Christopher Taylor furrowed his brows.
He had been too impulsive just now, and suddenly realized that L Hotel is no ordinary establishnt.
It’s backed by a deputy mayor of the city.
A deputy mayor alone would be nothing, but what’s most crucial is that the hotel is also owned by a family, a family that is not inferior to the Brownie Family, possibly even more influential.
He couldn’t afford to disregard that.
Glancing at Charlotte Davis, Christopher Taylor said gravely, “This matter doesn’t concern your establishnt; it’s only about this guy.”
Charlotte Davis smiled faintly, “Mayor Johnson, regarding your personal grievances, I have no right to intervene.
But whoever cos to my hotel to dine, they are my guests, and I must be responsible for my guests.
I cannot let my guest be taken away by police, unless he is indeed so sort of fugitive.”
Christopher Taylor’s face darkened, “So he gets to hit for free?”
With a light laugh, Charlotte Davis said, “We’re all just having a little fun here, why take it so seriously, Mayor Johnson?
How about this – we’ll take care of your outfit, and also, your bill today will be on the house.
How does that sound?”
Christopher Taylor stared at Charlotte Davis, suppressing the anger in his heart, “Are you openly siding with him?”
Charlotte Davis internally despised Christopher Taylor very much.
Her attitude was also a covert ssage to him that Jas Brown wasn’t soone to be trifled with, certainly more influential than Christopher Taylor, but this fool couldn’t perceive it at all.
Smiling, she said, “Mayor Johnson, this isn’t about taking sides, I’m just following the rules of our hotel.”
Christopher Taylor angrily retorted, “I don’t care about your hotel’s rules, today I’m taking this guy away, I’d like to see who dares to stop !”
Seeing Christopher Taylor’s strong stance, the police officers imdiately pushed Charlotte Davis aside and once more tried to apprehend Jas Brown.
Gina Lopez was completely confused and didn’t know what cri Jas Brown had committed, but from what Charlotte Davis had ntioned, it seed Jas had so conflict with Mayor Johnson.
Regardless, she couldn’t let the police take Jas Brown away.
lody Yoody shared the sa thought as Gina Lopez.
She stood up first and said to Christopher Taylor, “Mayor Johnson, why all the anger?
Jas Brown is my classmate—let’s discuss things calmly.
If it’s really Jas’s fault, I’ll have him apologize to you.”
Christopher Taylor only then noticed lody Yoody.
L-Region belonged to Q County, so as Deputy County Chief, he naturally knew Township Chief Johnson.
He had always harbored certain desires towards lody Yoody, but he was also aware that her family background wasn’t weak.
If relying on her family, lody Yoody was certainly incomparable, but here, he was not in his turf, hence he couldn’t act rashly.
Not daring to act rashly didn’t an he would offer his respect to lody Yoody.
Knowing Jas Brown and lody Yoody were classmates made him feel more assured.
His face darkened, “Chief Johnson, do you know your classmate just hit ?”
lody Yoody frowned slightly, and sneakingly kicked Jas Brown.
This rascal, just like when he was young causing troubles, it had always been her cleaning up his sses, and now he’s grown up, still behaving similarly, causing even bigger troubles, giving her quite a headache.
With a stern face, lody Yoody scolded Jas Brown, “Jas Brown, how can you be so reckless?
Don’t you know this is Mayor Johnson?
Apologize to him right away.”
Her tone and expression were just like those tis when a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Jas Brown would cause trouble, always sternly reprimanding him, yet deep down, she was still defending Jas Brown.
However, today’s Jas Brown was not the Jas Brown of the past.
He sat boldly, lighting a cigarette, and said indifferently, “A person like him doesn’t deserve my apology.
Better not to interfere, let him fuss as he wants.”
lody Yoody quickly tugged at Jas Brown and gave him a look, but seeing that Jas Brown was utterly indifferent, she knew she couldn’t persuade him at this point.
She understood Jas Brown too well; if he had caused trouble frivolously, he would apologize imdiately upon a word from her.
However, if he believed he was justified, no matter how angry she beca, he definitely wouldn’t apologize.
It seed that Christopher Taylor must have done sothing that really angered Jas Brown.
At this mont, Gina Lopez sternly said to Christopher Taylor, “Mayor Johnson, Jas Brown is our employee, and I am the CEO.
If Jas hit you, there must be a reason for the conflict, right?
I don’t believe he would hit you without any reason.”
Now, Gina Lopez spoke with strong confidence, unlike when she was with the small company.
Now, being with a large corporation backed by Lucy Campbell, Gina could even connect with top city officials effortlessly, let alone be intimidated by a Deputy County Chief.
Christopher Taylor’s face imdiately turned uncomfortable.
How could he openly speak about the cause of the issue, especially thinking that Jas Brown had already revealed what happened?
This made Gina’s remark even more embarrassing for him.
He snorted coldly, “I don’t care which company you represent, you can’t handle this matter.
Take him into custody.”
Both Gina Lopez and lody Yoody looked upset.
Gina was the first to hum, “Township Chief Johnson, it seems I need to reconsider my decision.
With such a mayor, I fear the cooperation in your township won’t be pleasant.”
lody Yoody didn’t disagree with Gina’s words.
If she were in Gina’s position, she would reconsider as well.
She said to Christopher Taylor sternly, “Deputy County Chief Smith, this is Gina Lopez from J Corporation.
They are planning to invest in building a factory in our L-region.
This is significant for both our township and county.
If Mayor Johnson destroys this opportunity, I’m afraid…”
Christopher Taylor frowned.
As the Deputy County Chief, he was well aware of the importance of J Corporation’s investnt in L-region.
The entire county administration valued this project and instructed everyone to cooperate with lody Yoody’s efforts to secure the investnt, which would be a great achievent.
If he ssed this up, it could lead to displeasure from all county leaders.
Even if he didn’t regard those mayors and secretaries highly, any negligence here could add substantial difficulties for him.
Charlotte Davis whispered to Christopher Taylor, “Mayor Johnson, the people from J Corporation are from the capital city of SSUP; they are very influential.”
Christopher Taylor’s expression changed again.
The big shots from the capital city were likely more powerful than his own family.
Now he understood why Charlotte Davis had been siding with Jas Brown.
It seed he truly had to swallow this loss today.
After grinding his teeth, Christopher Taylor finally swallowed his pride and said, “Then I’ll give you face.
Township Chief Johnson, Mr.
Lopez, I won’t pursue the matter further.”
Gina Lopez and lody Yoody’s expressions relaxed, and Gina, who was only trying to scare Christopher Taylor, nodded and said, “Since Mayor Johnson is so magnanimous, it seems we can still invest here.”
Christopher Taylor had to feign generosity, “Personal issues and official matters, I can distinguish between the two.
Officially, I won’t hold a grudge now.
Since that’s settled, could you now hand over that video to ?”
“Video?” Gina Lopez and lody Yoody looked puzzled at Jas Brown.
Jas Brown shrugged, “I can’t give it to him.”
Christopher Taylor’s face darkened ominously, having made such a concession, yet Jas Brown was still so recalcitrant.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t defeat Jas Brown physically, he would have wanted to slaughter him at that mont.
Gina Lopez, thinking Jas Brown might have captured so inappropriate photos of Christopher Taylor, glared at Jas, saying, “Why keep those things?
Hurry and give them to Mayor Johnson.”
lody also said, “Yes, stop causing trouble.”
Jas Brown fiddled with his phone in his palm and shook his head, “He’s a high-ranking county chief, and I’m just a minor employee.
If I don’t have sothing in my hand and he cos after again, wouldn’t I be done for?”
Christopher Taylor took a deep breath, “Fine, I promise, if you give the video, I’ll never bother you again.”
“Really?” Jas Brown looked at Christopher Taylor with a smile.
Christopher Taylor nodded vigorously, clenching his back teeth, “The words of Christopher Taylor stand; there are so many witnesses here.”
Only then did Jas Brown nod contentedly and said sothing with a grin that nearly made Christopher Taylor spit out a mouthful of blood.
