I couldn't help but chuckle.
Didn't they already know if their rooms were good or not? Did they really need external things to prove their value?
At that moment, Mrs. Cylon spoke up. "William's a good kid. He wouldn't give us anything subpar. Everything he's arranged for us is definitely top-notch!"
If this had been a few days ago, the other women would've immediately started arguing with her. But now, hearing Mrs. Cylon's words, none of them had anything to say. The evidence was right in front of them, after all.
"Speaking of which, how did your son-in-law manage to book such an expensive room for us? Adding yours, that's 40 thousand dollars a day! We've been staying here for so long. This must be hundreds of thousands in hotel bills by now!"
"Exactly! And he didn't even say a single word about it. If we hadn't gone overtime today, we probably wouldn't have even realized how pricey this place is. That guy sure knows how to keep things to himself."
"With someone like that, he's clearly not from an ordinary background. Laura, what's the story with your son-in-law?"
Mrs. Cylon's face lit up with pride as she replied, "I don't know what his background is, but I know he's a good kid and treats Felicia very well. That's all that matters to me."
"If you don't want to say it, just say so. No need to act all mysterious." Mrs. Brown shot her a side-eye, clearly annoyed.
"Veronica's boyfriend is such a cheapskate. He acts like spending 20 thousand dollars on dinner is killing him. But look at Felicia's boyfriend, putting us up in a place worth hundreds of thousands without even batting an eye. Felicia really lucked out!"
Her cousin chimed in, saying, "Still, I don't think that Felicia can handle William. It probably won't be long before he dumps her."
"Exactly. To marry someone like him, you have to be sharp. But with Felicia's silly little brain, she's bound to get played. If you ask me, Veronica's a better match for him.
Vanessa couldn't hide her delight. "Absolutely. I think Veronica and William would be perfect together!"
Felicia's face turned pale when she heard this.
I quickly grabbed her hand, half amused and half exasperated. "Don't listen to their nonsense. I won't ever change my feelings for you, and I definitely don't have any interest in someone like Veronica."
Felicia bit her lip. "I know you wouldn't like someone like Veronica, but if it were another pretty woman…"
