"I'm going back where I came from."
"Aren't you worried about paying liquidated damages?" Alfred asked hastily.
Olivia chuckled. "Don't worry, I can still afford that tiny sum."
"You can't leave! You just want a room with heating, right? I can get that arranged for you. It's no problem at all."
Tatiana only asked that Olivia have an uncomfortable stay. She didn't ask Alfred to drive Olivia out.
If Olivia truly left, how was Alfred going to explain himself?
Olivia was aware of Alfred's thoughts. She hated people like him who overestimated their authority.
Olivia crossed her arms as she looked at Alfred coldly. "What's the matter? There weren't any rooms before this, but now they appeared out of nowhere!
"Mr. Warner, do you take me for a fool? Or do you think that you can bully me however you like?"
Alfred said sullenly, "It's just a room, so you're causing too much of a fuss. Do you seriously think that you're a rich young lady or something?
"You should be grateful that you have a place to stay, but you're being so picky—"
Before Alfred finished speaking, a figure strode up to them. Alfred hadn't even greeted Linus before the latter stormed up to him. Raising his hand, Linus delivered a slap right across Alfred's face.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to talk to Vanessa like that?"
Alfred was so startled that his face turned pale. He trembled violently.
"M-Mr. Linus!"
"What?" Linus was constantly on the battlefield, and he had the blood of many on his hands.
As the murderous intent emanated from Linus, Alfred almost lost his balance, and he was about to fall to his knees.
Alfred hastily spoke up. "Mr. Linus, please lend us your insight. I arranged a room for this lady, but she nitpicked the room.
"Mr. Linus, I've been working hard for decades in the Heath family, and I never slacked off. But today, I can't believe you're defending an outsider like her instead …"
Linus took out his phone. The screen showed that a call was ongoing, and the contact number was labeled as none other than "Vanessa".
Alfred's expression shifted. In other words, Linus had heard everything he said, but he had even made false accusations just now.
Alfred thought, "That wench! I can't believe how cunning she is! She tricked me!"
"Mr. Warner, to be honest, I also thought that you were working hard and being sincere about it. But today, I finally realized that you were lying to everyone.
"My father and I treated this guest with utmost respect, but look how you treated her! Ah, yes, what a good butler you are!"
Alfred kneeled right away. "Mr. Linus, I can explain—"
"Explain? Hah …" Linus lifted his leg and delivered a fierce kick to Alfred's shoulder.
Of course, Alfred couldn't withstand that huge force. With a yelp, he toppled into the snow.
