Chapter 226

To her, Darius was basically her lifebuoy. He was the only thing she could hold on to as she drowned.

When Darius saw this, he wanted to help her relax. He nodded and smiled, saying, "I think that anyone
with the money and power to go up against the Gillette family wouldn't think of this as an issue. The
reason you couldn't resolve this before was that you had neither. Now, with me around, you have both.
I need someone to help me take care of some things in Almiron City. So, this is the time for you to
shine. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself by resolving the issue that we're facing now."

Alicia’s eyes widened again. She never would've expected to come across such an opportunity. Her
eyes reddened, and she nodded vigorously. "I'll definitely prove that you made the right decision by
trusting me, regardless of my age."

She wiped her tears away, then strode toward the entrance. She wanted to make things clear to the
security guards, but she was surprised by the fact that there were none around. The sudden emptiness
scared her a little because she had never seen the hotel’s entrance so deserted.

It made her nervous. This situation was different from what she was used to, making her anxious. So,
she turned to look at Darius, her gaze one of confusion. He knew how she felt, but he didn’t say
anything, merely sticking his hands in his pockets.

Alicia took a deep breath. She knew that this was Darius’ test for her. She had to calm down and think
of a way to deal with this.

If she failed this, she would lose the chance to work alongside a rich and powerful man like Darius, and
she would have to continue living her miserable life. The moment this thought formed in her mind, she
pushed it away.



If she were to fail this test, she wouldn't even be able to continue living her miserable life because
she’d just offended the lobby manager big time. If Darius didn't hire her, the lobby manager would find
ways to tie her down to the hotel while forcing her to take on all sorts of debt. She could already see it
happening.

She exhaled and strode into the courtyard. Then, she sucked in a deep breath again and shouted as
loudly as possible, "Where are all the security guards? If you don't appear before me immediately, I
promise that all of you will be fired, regardless of who your uncles are!"

Though she didn't name any names, everyone knew who she was referring to. They watched her with
interest, sticking their heads out to see what she was up to. Alicia could sense the gazes on her. She
took a deep breath, put her hands behind her back, and turned to face the entrance. This would help to
hide the fact that she was so nervous she was trembling.

No one answered her. She sucked in another breath and said, "I’m going to count to three. If you
appear before I'm done, I can forget about you ignoring me before this. And if you don't, I’m sorry to
say that you'll have to bear the consequences of my anger."

After she said this, someone finally staggered out of one of the cars parked in the courtyard. It was
Lyon, but he looked worlds apart from how he usually did. Certain parts of his face were normal, but
the other parts were purple with bruises. The left side of his face was swollen, and he couldn't open his
right eye. This was probably thanks to Edward.

Alicia didn't expect to see him like this. She took a step back in surprise.

Lyon looked up at her. He thought he sounded bold and confident, but the blood on him and the pain
coming from his body made him weaker than usual. He said, "You'd better be polite when speaking to
me, or I'll show you what it's like when I'm mad! Of course, I'm sure you know how the other people



before today ended up. You can take them as reference points. I guarantee you'll be a hundred times
worse than them."

Alicia's breathing sped up at his words. Her voice wasn't as loud as before, but she sounded more
resolute. "If I were you, I wouldn't threaten someone looking like that. You have no right to!" She
emphasized the last few words.

Everyone could discern the meaning behind her words, and it pissed Lyon off even more. Alicia relaxed
her stance, and her breathing slowed down. She was already in the zone. She held her head up high
and said, "You're no better than a stray dog now, so you should keep your head down and do what a
security guard’s supposed to. Perhaps I'll consider giving you some food to tide you over."

The lobby manager was already seated on one of the sofas. She watched the debacle without making
a sound. However, it was obvious that this was nothing more than a minor interruption to her day. She
wasn't bothered by it at all.

Soon, she would know how wrong she was. She got to her feet and stuck her hands in her pockets
while looking at Darius. "If I were you, I wouldn’t be doing this. You don't understand a thing about our
hotel or me, so you don't know what you're dealing with. I've seen many people like you in the past,
and none of them had good endings." The look in her eyes told Darius that she was confident he would
be no better.

He turned to look at her disdainfully, then said, "I could say the same to you."
