Chapter 71 Conceal and Strike
“You’ve had that arranged too?” Courtney appeared stumped when she heard that. “Where will we stay? A hotel?” I’d like to head directly to the hotel if possible. After all, hotels have staff accommodation, and the facilities there are convenient too.
“Forget about hotels.” Alexander burst her bubble straight away. “There are no rooms left.”
“Huh? There are no rooms left? But the last time I counted, there should be still—”

The servants from the residence were already shifting the suitcases into the house efficiently; Courtney could do nothing to stop them.

She seemed especially anxious with Courtney’s questions. “I have many toys at home, and so I simply picked one for you. However, I’m not sure if you’d like it. I’ll take it away if it’s not
