Chapter 23
“You're awesome, Harold!”
Following behind Craig, Harold and his family entered Paradise Hotel.
Benson, who was originally at the back, caught up with Harold and gave him a thumbs up.
What an eye-opener.
Harold smiled wryly at how his father-in-law treated him like a friend as he did not know how he should respond to him as a junior.
Out of courtesy, Harold also gave Benson a thumbs up.
Isabella, who was talking to her mother, looked up and happened to see Harold giving her father a thumbs up.
She instantly understood what had just happened.
Everyone knows Mr. Quigley is the only person Craig is scared of in Dellmoor. When Harold made the call, he was speaking to Logan, not Mr. Quigley. When we were stopped by the security guards, Dad went to a corner to make a phone call. All these signs indicate that Harold's call earlier was just an act he had put on. What really scared Craig so much was the fact that Dad called Moneybags Smith to ask for his help. Moneybags Smith must have asked Mr. Quigley to call Craig, which was why that happened just now.
The more Isabella thought about it, the more she was convinced that her assumption was correct.
No wonder Harold spoke so quickly when he was on the phone and hung up before the other person could reply to him, which is totally different from how he usually behaves. He was afraid that his cover would be blown!
No longer shocked, Isabella, who was following behind Harold, was contemptuous of him.
He's so despicable and shameless!
Paradise Hotel, which covered an area of hundreds of acres, was indeed one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, where all types of entertainment were provided.
Its facilities were also the best in the whole world.
It even had a luxurious Epean restaurant and a classic Chanaean restaurant.
Craig first took Harold and his family to a classic and relaxing room, where the best coffee in Paradise Hotel was served to them.
After more than ten minutes, the four of them were invited to the fancy Epean restaurant.
In less than twenty minutes, the staff had decorated the Epean restaurant with balloons on its ceiling and flower petals that fell like confetti, giving the place a romantic vibe.
The top Epean pastry chef was making cakes on the spot.
There was also a violinist playing the violin to entertain them.
Isabella, who thought she had learned the truth, did not show much excitement after seeing the romantic setup. There was even a look of disgust in her eyes when she looked at Harold. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Despite the smile on her face, she was secretly planning to find an opportunity to tell her parents everything and to divorce Harold since her engagement to Daniel had been called off.
Although she was displeased that Harold lied to her again, she smiled sweetly, looking at the fancy and romantic birthday setup as it was a show of her parents' love for her, and she took her birthday this time seriously.
Her smile was not meant for Harold, but her parents.
“How is it? You believe that I'm God of War now, don't you?” Harold asked in a hushed voice with a proud look after seeing Isabella eating her food elegantly with a bright smile on her face.
“Hmph. Do you think I'd believe you? You and my dad are in cahoots, aren't you? Tell me honestly. How did you manage to convince my dad?”
Isabella's words and the look of contempt on her face struck Harold dumb.
“Your dad and I are in cahoots? Can your dad make Craig kneel? Don't you know the limit of your dad's capability?”
After knowing what Isabella meant, Harold was angry. Why doesn't she believe me?
“My dad knows Moneybags Smith, and they get along very well. Both Moneybags Smith and Craig are the subordinates of the mysterious Mr. Quigley. What do you think the limit of his capability is? On the contrary, don't you know the limit of your capability?” Isabella asked with a tone similar to his earlier tone.
“Um, well, what you say kind of makes sense, but I'm really not in cahoots with your dad!”
To Isabella, Harold's justification was weak and unconvincing.
Seeing that he was still reluctant to accept the reality, she was mad.
“Shut up. I don't want to hear you claim that you're the God of War again, or we can't even be friends!”
Seeing that Isabella was angry, Harold had to give in.
“Okay, I won't bring it up again!”
At the same time, Craig went up to them. “Mrs. Campbell, happy birthday. I wish you eternal youth and beauty. Here's a little gift for you. Please accept it.”
With that, Craig poured himself a glass of red wine and downed it in one gulp. Then, he got someone to hand Isabella a delicate gift box.
“Thank you, Mr. McGowan. That's so sweet of you!”
Isabella was surprised that Craig came over to toast her and even give her a present, so she hurriedly stood up and downed a glass of wine before accepting the gift.
Out of politeness, she did not open the gift on the spot.
“Mrs. Campbell, it's nothing. There's something I need to attend to, so, Mr. Campbell, Mrs. Campbell, allow me to excuse myself.”
Upon seeing that Isabella had downed the wine in one gulp, Craig was impressed, but he dared not outstay his welcome and decided to leave them to it.
Hence, he immediately excused himself after giving her a toast.
Harold remained seated the entire time, which seemed rude to Isabella. After sitting back down, she shot him a glance of disgust.
This guy's gone too far!
The family of four left Paradise Hotel at nine o'clock in the evening.
When they left, Craig had seen them out. It was not until Harold's car had disappeared from his sight that he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, he hurriedly went back to call Logan to report to him.
Just as Harold was holding a luxurious birthday party for Isabella, Edward had gathered every member of the Turner family in the Turner residence.
“I plan to let Benson and his family return to the family. What do you think?” asked Edward, who had almost recovered, while sitting on his chair and looking at his children and grandchildren.
“I agree with it. Only by letting them back in and making them let go of their grudges can Isabella possibly return Turner Corporation to us. Turner Corporation is your life's work. Isabella is no longer part of our family as she's married now. We can't let your life's work fall into the hands of outsiders.”
Bradley was the first to agree after hearing Edward's proposal.
“I agree. We should ask Benson to come back. As long as you ask him to return Turner Corporation, Dad, I don't think he dares to say no. But some conditions should be set out. Isabella should settle the bank loan first since we won't have enough money to repay the bank after we take the company back. Better yet, ask her to get back all the previous orders, or they can't be allowed to return to the family.”
Brandon agreed with Edward's suggestion as well.
“Since the both of you agreed, Harvey will inform Benson tomorrow. Everyone can leave now.”
Edward, who had always been a traditional man, did not think that there was anything wrong with what his sons said, so he nodded in agreement and even ordered Harvey to inform Isabella and her family to come back the next day.
The next day, Harvey knocked on the door of Isabella's house early in the morning.
