Chapter 407 - Knife On His Neck
SOLARIS HOTEL
Arriving at the hotel, Hailee walked straight to the stores of her hotel. She held onto Vincent\'s elbow while he was carrying her handbag. Pitt and James walk ahead of them, and her dozen knights follow behind.
"Princess!" Kian Lynch, General Manager of the hotel, is meeting them halfway. Kian is also Hailee\'s knight, and Vincent already met him last time at the Give-Away Night and during their wedding. "Vincent! Welcome to the Solaris Hotel!"
"Thank you, Kian." Vincent smiled and shook hands with the guy. It can be noticed how friendly he was toward Kian because he didn\'t feel threatened. After all, the guy was already married and had kids like Kristian, so he didn\'t feel threatened as one of Hailee\'s secret admirers.
"Hey, guys!" Kian greeted the knights, who were his good friends. After some pleasantries, he led them toward the western wing of the hotel, where all the brand stores were located.
Here, VIP members can shop for the famous brand of clothing, bags, and shoes, while the non VIP guests can have temporary access while staying at the hotel.
Hailee came up with this idea as she came across an incident in the past where outsiders caused trouble to a guest in a hotel she stayed in one time when she went on a vacation. It was crazy, so she wanted to ensure the safety and privacy of the guests in her hotel.
"Janise should put up her stores here. What do you think?" Hailee told Vincent while they strolled around.
"It\'s a good idea. I will talk to Hansen to invest with me."
Hailee looked at her husband with a big smile on her face. She could already guess what was playing on Vincent\'s head.
"Are you proposing to Hansen that he must offer this as a betrothal gift?"
"It\'s not only a proposal. I am placing a knife on his neck." Vincent glanced at Pitt when he stated this to relay the message to his cousin. He may sound joking but he is serious. "I have to make sure Janise is well taken care of. She is also a self-made millionaire. Still, I want all the best for my sister."
Pitt, who heard Vincent stating this, glanced over his shoulder and saluted at him.
Hailee felt elated. She could already picture how Vincent would guard his daughters against their suitors. She thinks Vincent would not give his daughters just like that to someone else.
Of course, it was what her dad did. Countless billionaire sons ask her hand for marriage. But her dad only ignored them, including those royals.
Her dad doesn\'t care whether they were his major investor. He would rather lose billions than give her away to someone she doesn\'t love or is happy with.
"Hubby, you will be a great dad. I\'m so happy you are the father of my children," said Hailee to Vincent.
"Hmm… But I am more blessed to have you in my life."
"We\'re meant to be."
Hailee and Vincent kissed while roaming around the hotel, making Pitt and James roll their eyes.
\'Too much PDA!\'

Meanwhile, this scene was captured by Hailee\'s staff and posted to their social media account with a caption:
"Lady Boss is here with her beloved husband. Thank you for gracing us with your presence, ma\'am Hailee! We all love you!"
Several social media platforms reposted the photo throughout Australia, then the entire world in just a few minutes.
"Yay! How sweet!"
"What a blooming preggy!"
"Pretty as always! Thank you, ma\'am Hailee, for taking care of your staff!" commented an employee of the hotel.
"Hey! Are you saying that Mrs. Shen is the owner of that hotel?"
"She is! You all should know that Mrs. Shen never shows off what property she owns."
"That was true! All we saw in her Gram were her expensive travels, her superyacht, and super-fast cars! We all could think at first glance that she is just a spoiled princess, but she actually owned countless companies aside from everything she will inherit!"
"Then she and Mr. Shen are no different! Mr. Shen founded his own yacht company and real estate and invested in foreign companies from his inheritance. Now he is a young billionaire!"
"There\'s no doubt they were a match made in heaven!"
"They knew how to manage their fortune!"
"FYI… Our empress never asks her dad to buy her a car or a yacht. What she asks from her dad is to build her a company, and this company earns well, and that fortune is what she bought most of what she has now."
"Gosh! Where could I find a dad like that!?"
"Let\'s ask Mr. Jacob to adopt us all!"
Outside the city, on the road, headed back to the Davies Mansion…
"Sir, I think you should see this." Kris handed his TAB to his boss.
Jacob took the gadget and browsed the articles from the trending topic on the internet. Halfway through his reading, his face cannot stop grinning.
The commenters were correct in their presumption. Hailee indeed asks him to invest here and there, aside from his investments in specific companies for his daughter\'s future.
He gave everything to Hailee, but later, his daughter\'s expenses mostly came from her fortune, including founding a scholarship program for all young girls who want to go to college and become secret supporters of many foundations throughout the world.
"My daughter deserves all the love in the world," Jacob muttered.
"The princess is worth all the happiness in this life, sir." Kris concurred.
"As a father, I am so happy that our problem with Liam is over. I will ensure he will speak up and point out all the members of this organization we are watching."
Jacob actually likes Liam. But his love for Hailee seemed to go in a different direction, and he became obsessed.
"Kris, what do you think made Liam turn his back on us?" he asked Kristian after a long pause. "Liam is supposed to be undercover to know all the movements of the criminal organization in the underground world. But what changed him, and he betrayed and started killing his friends?"
Kristian had only rendered his silence as he also didn\'t know what made Liam turn his back, being Hailee\'s knight. He only knows he was jealous that Hailee had more knights, and he seemed to accept that as time had passed.
So, what is it?
Liam is Hailee\'s, First Knight.
However, he became the Dark Knight.
Is love enough to lose someone\'s sanity?
Kristian thought to himself, as there was no answer he could find to this question.
