"Brandon..."
No matter how much Robert called out to him, Brandon ignored him.
Brandon dared not provoke Jeff again. He had already been beaten twice today, and if he were beaten a third time, his face would be ruined.
Robert used to be Jeff's father-in-law, but they had no relationship now. He was afraid that Jeff would turn on him and even hit his former father-in-law.
Robert was different from Michael; he didn't know any underworld figures.
So he picked up the phone and called his daughter, Emily Harper. "Emily, are you still at the Four Seasons West Lake?"
Emily replied, "I'm here, Dad."
Robert said, "I've already found out from your grandmother's place that a Richard Mille watch worth five million dollars is missing. Jeff must have taken it."
Emily said, "That bastard! No wonder he has the money to stay in five-star hotels, even presidential suites!"
Robert said, "Emily, Grandma is very angry and wants you to bring Jeff home. Dad won't be going over there; I'm leaving him to you."
...
Four Seasons Hotel West Lake.
After hanging up the phone, Emily said indignantly, "Fine, Jeff, you actually stole my grandma's things! Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Emily walked to the front desk and asked, "What is Jeff's room number?"
Seeing this, Ryan Caldwell quickly stepped forward. "Emily, what are you doing?"
"What for? Of course we're taking him back! He stole my grandfather's five-million-dollar watch!" Emily said.
Ryan knew that Jeff would definitely not give in obediently, and the two would definitely argue.
This was a five-star hotel. His family owned a hotel business, and they hated people who caused trouble at hotels.
In addition, Ryan also couldn't afford to offend the owner of the Four Seasons West Lake.
Ryan grabbed Emily's arm and said, "Don't go—just call the police."
Emily shoved Ryan aside. "How can you be such a coward? If you're too scared to go, I'll go myself!"
Emily got Jeff's room number and took the elevator to the presidential suite where Jeff was staying.
Knock knock knock!
Too lazy to ring the doorbell, Emily pounded on the door with her fist.
"Jeff, you thief! Open the door right now!"
Jeff had just finished showering and was drying his hair when he heard a knock on the door. He turned off the hairdryer and then faintly heard Emily's voice.
"This woman is like a persistent ghost! She came looking for me right after my divorce!"
Jeff put down the hairdryer, walked over, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Emily saw Jeff wearing a bathrobe, his hair fluffy and slicked back, still damp. He looked much more handsome than with his previous bangs hairstyle, and he also exuded more charisma.
In addition, Jeff's bathrobe was not properly worn, so the muscles of his upper body could be clearly seen.
"Jeff actually has abs..."
Emily had always liked men with abs, and she had never known that her husband, Jeff, was a man with a perfect physique in the three years since they got married!
"If I had known, I should have let him stay home shirtless in the summer."
Emily regretted it a little. Although Jeff was poor, he was handsome and had abs. It would have been good for her to have something to look at at home.
"What is it?" Jeff asked coldly.
Emily then moved away from Jeff and angrily said, "Jeff, did you steal my grandma's Richard Mille watch?"
"What Richard Mille watch?" Jeff asked, puzzled.
Emily said, "Stop pretending! My grandma's house lost a watch worth five million dollars. You must have taken it. Otherwise, how could you afford to stay in a five-star presidential suite? I've never even stayed in a presidential suite!"
Jeff couldn't help but laugh. The Harper family was really something else. They never thought Jeff was the one who did the good things, but when it came to taking the blame, they all came to him.
Jeff said, "Miss Harper, I have never taken a single needle or thread from your Harper family, nor have I stolen any watches. Please leave."
Hearing Jeff call her "Miss Harper," Emily felt a pang of sadness in her heart!
For the past three years, he had called her "Emily" with affection. Sometimes, he would also call her "Baby," "My dear wife," or "Goddess."
But now, Jeff called her "Miss Harper."
Emily felt wronged, her voice trembling with tears as she spoke. "Jeff, you're so heartless! Why are you in such a hurry for me to leave? Is there a woman in your room?"
There were no women in Jeff's room, of course; he wasn't such a casual man.
But Jeff said, "Whether there is a woman or not is none of your business. We're already divorced."
Emily was furious, pointing at Jeff. "We've only been divorced for less than an hour, and you've already found another woman! And you're using our Harper family's money! You've wronged me so much!"
Jeff laughed and said, "Heh, you can have an affair while you're married, but I can't find someone else after the divorce? Who's really at fault here!"
Emily was speechless. She stopped talking and strode inside, intending to drag the woman out and slap her.
However, Jeff didn't let Emily step into the room at all.
Jeff said, "Miss Harper, you are not worthy to step into the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. If you do not leave, I will call security!"
