Her gaze swept across the hotel lobby, and she commanded sharply, "Seal off all exits of the hotel!"

"Yes!"

Her subordinates immediately split into several groups and orderly headed towards the various exits.

Many people stood in the hotel lobby, but each of them watched the woman fearfully, not daring to breathe loudly.

The hotel manager, terrified, still mustered the courage to approach, "Madam, who are you, and why are you sealing off our hotel's exits?"

The woman's piercing gaze fell on his face, but she said nothing, simply lifting the hem of her coat slightly.

A flash of icy chill swept across the manager's eyes. He retreated continuously, covering his mouth with his hand, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and he dared not utter another word.

The woman looked down at everyone with a cold smirk on her lips, then walked towards the elevator.

Her imposing aura made everyone too scared to move, trembling in place.

In the elevator, two men stood by her side. The man on the left whispered, "Miss Hamilton, aren't we making too much noise? What if we startle the snake..."

Tina Hamilton turned her head sharply, and the man promptly shut his mouth.

Seemingly to explain the situation, she said coldly, "Do you think Charlie is just an ordinary businessman? Catching him without a strong approach is impossible!"

The man bowed his head as if he had done something wrong, keeping his mouth shut, not daring to speak again.

The man on Tina's right side glanced casually at the other and chuckled lightly, "Tina, what exactly is this mission about? Bringing me along, could there be danger? If I... if I fall here, you must tell grandpa that I died in the line of duty."

Tina was used to his jokes, and her attitude softened a bit with him.

"Young Master Micheal, this mission is indeed dangerous, but I assure you, Tina will protect you with her life. Don't worry."

"Hehe..."

The man known as Young Master Micheal raised his eyebrows and sighed, "Ah, they call me young master, but I'm just a henchman for the family. Our family is male-dominated; grandpa and my father's generation hardly treat us brothers as human beings."

Hearing this, Tina's expression softened further, "Can't help it. Since the master's generation, our family has been all male. No girls have been born, and everyone is eager to have a daughter, leading to more and more young masters and still no misses. The master's anger is inevitable. You must understand, Young Master Micheal."

"Understand my foot!"

Young Master Micheal grew angry thinking about it, "Just because we're all boys, the elders don't treat us as human. We grew up in beatings. As soon as we reached marriageable age, they pushed us to get married. Damn, it's so strange. My four older brothers got married, and all had boys. Because of this, grandpa and the others turned against me. I mean..."

He stopped, furious, and punched the elevator wall, "Am I a breeding machine? And even if I get married, can I guarantee to give them a daughter? A bunch of old-fashioned fools, desperate for a girl!"
