Chapter 198 The Truth is Out
Soon enough, the manager on duty rushed into the surveillance room.
“Hello, Mr. Knight!”
Oliver didn’t reply verbally but signalled with his eyes for him to take action.
The manager directed him. “Quick, pull up the surveillance from the terrace corridor.”
Finished
The captain of the security team paused for a moment. Hearing the manager address Oliver so politely, he understood that this guy wasn’t just anybody. After a quick thought, he promptly instructed his team to retrieve and display the surveillance footage.
In just a short while, the surveillance footage that couldn’t be accessed before suddenly became available.
On the display screen, the scene from the terrace slowly emerged. It was clear as day. Declan had initially grabbed Grace’s hand, and even after she pulled away, he persistently pursued her and tried to hug her.
“Oh! The truth is out!”
“That’s him, being all creepy and handsy. And when he got caught, he had the nerve to blame Ms. Parker.”
“Such audacity!”
Vivian and her group, standing outside, also saw the footage on the monitor.
Vivian gritted her teeth, while Declan’s face turned red and then white. He tried to justify himself. “I was drunk earlier, so I didn’t know what I was doing. It wasn’t intentional…”
Vivian’s friends beside her looked troubled, unsure of how to react.
They had previously boasted about tarnishing Grace’s reputation.
Now that the truth was revealed, they were left speechless.
Grace turned to look at Vivian. “Vivian, it seems like you haven’t been doing so well these past few years, huh? Hehe.“”
Then, Grace swiftly took out her phone and called the police.
“If you were drunk, then go explain it to the police. You attempted sexual assault and made false accusations. I’m going to get to the bottom of this!”
Vivian felt utterly humiliated!
She couldn’t bear to stay a moment longer and turned to leave.
Declan hurried to catch up, and the others followed suit, leaving one by one.
With everything resolved smoothly. Grace felt a great sense of relief. She turned to Oliver and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you own Spring City Hotel?”
Oliver replied, “Well, you’never asked, did you?”

Grace retorted, “If I didn’t ask, couldn’t you have mentioned it?”
Oliver conceded, “Okay, my bad.”
The two of them bantered back and forth in the surveillance room.
Nydia exchanged a glance with Hazel, then quietly walked out of the room with Violeta.

They reached the ground floor.
Violeta glanced at the time.
“It’s getting late. I should leave.”
Nydia said, “Yep, I’ve had my fill too. Let’s just sit back and watch Vivian and her husband’s reputation get tarnished tomorrow!”
Violeta grinned. “Today was really satisfying. I was actually planning to call my brother to come and check out the surveillance.”
Hazel chimed in, “Yeah, none of us expected Oliver to be the boss. But do you think MS. Parker and him are a good match?”
Nydia laughed. “Haha, if the teacher knew we were talking about this behind her back, she’d be mad.”
Violeta said, “I’ll head off first. Let Ms. Parker know later. The rematch is coming up soon, and I need to train these next couple of days.”
“Okay, Vio, you go ahead.”
Violeta left the hotel.
The two trucks parked outside had already driven away, but the scent of perfumed roses seemed to linger in the air, refreshing and delightful.
Violeta stood under the bus stop sign, the sunlight casting long shadows.
She was about to call the driver at home to come pick her up.
But before she could even dial the number, she heard the sound of several motorcycles in the distance.
“Viol”
Violeta looked up and saw four people speeding towards her on motorcycles.
Motorcycles?
Violeta glanced at the high–end motorcycles they were riding and immediately recognised their top–notch quality.
While it wasn’t surprising to see others riding motorcycles, seeing Hayden on one did catch her slightly off guard.

But then again, it wasn’t that unusual for guys to enjoy motorcycles, especially if they had the money for it.
“Why are you guys here?”
Zoren took off his helmet. “We’re here to watch the show. Looks like we missed it, huh? We arrived late.”
“Yeah, you guys are late.”
Jasper caught a whiff of a faint rose scent in the street. “Why is there still a smell of roses here?”
Violeta replied calmly, “Earlier, there were two big trucks filled with perfume roses parked here for about
an hour or so.
Hayden asked, “Are you heading back now?”
Violeta nodded. “Yeah, I was thinking of sending you guys a message when I got back.”
Liam suggested, “Now that we’re already out, why don’t we have some fun?”
Zoren said, “Yeah, let’s enjoy ourselves for a bit.”
Violeta, hands in pockets, asked with interest, “What do you have in mind?”
Zoren chuckled. “How about we take you for a ride?”
Violeta raised an eyebrow. “Taking me for a ride? You know racing is prohibited in the city, right? You guys planning to make headlines tomorrow?”
There were clear rules in the city, with speed limits, and even if you had money, you couldn’t just do as you please. Plus, Hayden had a special status, making it even more impossible for him to act recklessly.
“To Moon Bay.”
