Chapter 663 Cold for Another Reason
Eliza stood in the corridor for a long time before returning to her room in a daze.
Micah and Haya, who were hiding behind the door, looked at each other. They tacitly sat back in the living room and pretended not to know anything.
After everyone left, Graciana, who was hiding in a blind spot, pushed Julian out from behind the potted plant.
"Why did you stop me just now?"
When Graciana thought of Chester's aggressive attitude, she felt her heart ache.
She was so angry.
What's more, she didn't expect that Yahya would be so shameless as to deny his actions and even frame Eliza!
Just now, Graciana wanted to rush out several times, but was stopped by Julian.
The corners of Julian's lips curled up slightly.
"If you expose it now, how are you going to watch the show in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
Julian glanced at Graciana and did not explain. Instead, he directed Graciana to push him back to his room.
When he went back, the housekeeper, assistant, and others had been waiting there for a long time.
"Mr. Benton, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?"
The housekeeper rushed up and carefully observed Julian's injured leg, for fear that he would get hurt again if he didn't pay attention to it.
After the housekeeper finished checking, Julian said, "It's okay. With Graciana here, she won't let me get hurt."
After hearing that, the housekeeper stepped aside silently.
Why were they still showing affection at a moment like this?
Graciana ignored his words and was still thinking about the meaning of what Julian had just said.
But Julian told the housekeeper, "Help me contact the hotel and ask someone to get the surveillance footage on the corridor."
The housekeeper was a little confused. "What surveillance footage?"
"I want a copy of all the surveillance footage of the corridor outside in the past hour."
The housekeeper was competent. He did not ask the reason and immediately took action.
He contacted the hotel to negotiate, but was rejected.
The housekeeper tried another round of coercion, but he still got the same answer.
The reason why this hotel could grow so big was because of its strict management.
Because the guests who moved in were all famous stars, they paid more attention to the privacy of the customers.
Therefore, unless it was necessary, the hotel's surveillance would not be easily given to anyone.
Julian listened to the negotiations of the housekeeper and felt that things were not simple.
Did the hotel staff really refuse so firmly because they didn't want to reveal the client's privacy?
Or was it because someone else had informed the hotel that the surveillance footage was not allowed to be leaked?
"Interesting," Julian muttered and stretched out his hand to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper understood and respectfully handed the phone to Julian.
"It's me. I'm Julian."
The hotel manager answered politely, "Hello, Mr. Benton."
"Just tell me straight if you can give me a copy of the surveillance video."
"Sorry, Mr. Benton, there is a rule in the hotel. Unless there is an emergency, the surveillance video will not be spread to others."
Julian asked, "Can't anyone see it?"
The hotel manager was silent. After thinking for a while, he answered seriously, "If you really want to see it, you have to get the approval of the whole floor of guests. Only with everyone's permission can you watch it."
Moreover, he could only look at the surveillance video and could not copy it.
Julian asked, "No exceptions?"
"Mr. Benton, this is the rule of the hotel. Please don't make things difficult for me."
After Julian finished testing, he said slowly, "I lost a watch. Do I have to get everyone's permission to check the footage?"
The manager was silent for a while before saying, "When did you lose your watch, Mr. Benton?"
"An hour ago."
"Did you forget it somewhere else?"
"Are you trying to shirk responsibility?" The corners of Julian's lips curled into a smile. "I've lost the latest Patek Philippe custom-made watch. It's worth more than 30 million. If you can't find it, I'll call the police and say it's stolen."
Once he called the police, the police would come to investigate.
At that time, things would not be controlled by the hotel. If Julian posted something on the Internet, the reputation of the hotel would be completely ruined.
The hotel manager didn't know what to say.
Judging from Julian's relaxed tone, it was obvious that he had not really lost his watch.
However, he couldn't do anything about it.
Half an hour later, the hotel staff sent over the surveillance video on the corridor.
Graciana was full of doubts about Julian's behavior. "Do you want to show these surveillance videos to Mr. Valentine?"
Julian said, "Why should I give it to him?"
"To clarify for Eliza!"
"If she wants to clarify things, doesn't she know how to do it herself?"
"How can you be like this!"
Graciana was anxious and planned to leave to find Eliza.
Seeing that she was really angry, Julian finally decided not to keep her guessing.
"In your eyes, what kind of person is Beau?"
"He's someone who's confident in everything he does."
"That's it." Julian waved his hand. "Besides, he also said that he trusts his wife. No matter what Yahya said, he wouldn't believe it."
"But in my opinion, Beau's attitude toward Eliza just now was a little cold, and she was still sad."
"There is another reason why he's cold."
Julian said this and did not say anything else. He just told Graciana, "In short, you don't need to intervene in this matter for now. Let Beau and Eliza deal with it themselves."
"But..."
"Don't you want to see if Beau's promise to Eliza is true or false?"
Graciana was stunned.
Julian glanced at her and said, "If the conflict between his wife and his family can't be easily resolved, what right does he have to say that he can give Eliza happiness?"
Graciana looked at Julian and wanted to say something several times, but stopped on second thought.
"Just say what you want to say."
"Are you... still into Eliza that you want to stand by and wait for them to have a conflict and pick up the spoils yourself?"
Julian was speechless.
He couldn't help but pinch Graciana's cheek.
"What are you doing? It hurts!"
"Why don't you die of pain?" Julian ground his teeth. "If you don't need your brain, you can donate it to someone else!"
Graciana curled her lips and muttered to herself, "I'm just worried, ain't I? It's not easy for Eliza and Beau to get to this point. Don't ruin their relationship!"
Julian rolled his eyes. He didn't want to talk to her at all.
How could she still think that he liked someone else at such a time?
It turned out that everything he did was in vain.
Graciana was still very worried and wanted to find Eliza. Even if she couldn't help, she could comfort Eliza.
However, before she left, Julian finally reminded her, "Yahya's sudden visit to Eliza is definitely not on the spur of the moment. Perhaps he has other motives. There might be someone else behind him who is trying to sow discord."
Graciana turned around in confusion. "Huh?"
"Why don't we investigate carefully instead of worrying about the misunderstanding between Beau and Eliza? We might as well find out who's behind this."
It was only then that Graciana came to a realization. "So you don't want me to rush out because you're afraid that I'll alert the enemy."
Julian snorted and did not deny it.
