Chapter 669
The crowd immediately looked at the stage and saw Ada tied up on the ground. Her face was full of shock and fear.
Meanwhile, George was lying unconscious on the ground. The dagger in his hand had fallen a few meters away.
Everyone had no idea what had happened during the blackout.
Suddenly, the banquet hall door swung open with a bang, and Neil walked in coldly.
He hurried up to the stage and kicked the dagger out of the way. Then, he went to Ada's side.
As soon as he helped her up, he froze.
She was not Silvia Pond!
No one in the crowd dared to speak. After all, they were all involved in forcing Ada to replace that woman earlier. There was no telling if Neil was going to do anything to them.
Curtis and the manager had brought people to escort George directly to the police station. Everyone on the scene was relieved, and they started to leave.
Neil stood up and seriously said, "Curtis, send her to the hospital."

Helen was also scared out of her wits. When she left, she could not help but glance at Ada, who had fallen unconscious.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes.
This woman was not the one from earlier!
They wore very similar gowns, but there was a detail at the waist that was different. One could easily overlook it.
If this unconscious woman was Ada, who was that woman earlier?
What exactly happened during those two minutes of blackout?
The bomb squad quickly dismantled the bombs in and around the hotel. Being George's target, Neil went to the police station to give his statement.
It was past 11 p.m. by the time he was done.
Curtis rushed forward. "Mr. Remus, it would've been impossible for George to do this alone. Someone must have helped him behind the scenes. I've already sent someone to investigate this."
Neil nodded coldly. "Give me a copy of the banquet hall's surveillance footage."
"I'm afraid the surveillance camera was damaged after George went in. Nothing was recorded."
Neil came to a halt. The hostage he saw had to be Silvia. There was no way he could be wrong!
"Keep investigating. Send me the video that the guests on the scene took. I want to take a closer look."
"Alright, Mr. Remus."
Soon, he received the video.
Neil looked at the woman in the footage, and the strange feeling in his heart returned. He had a strong hunch that the woman held hostage was Silvia. But how did she suddenly turn into Ada?
"Ask the people at the banquet if anything odd happened when George held Ada hostage!"
He could not believe that an entire person could just appear and disappear so suddenly.
"Okay!"
Neil lowered his head and rubbed his phone screen.
If that woman was Silvia, he would not let go of her this time!
The security breach at Xander Corporation's best hotel quickly spread throughout Imperial City. It caused Xander Corporation's share prices to fall quite a bit.
Theo had no choice but to urgently call for a press conference. He promised to strengthen the hotel's security in the future and not allow something like this to happen again.
When Silvia saw the press
et
conference at home, she casually picked up an apple and bit into it. "Someone is obviously after Remus Corporation. That's why they used George to pull such a stunt. Xander Corporation is just a victim, but Dad has to apologize publicly He should make Remus Corporation compensate for Xander
Corporation's losses!" she said

Michelle laughed. "You... There is no right or wrong in the industry. There are only benefits. Why would people care about what's really going on? As long as they can find an opportunity to attack the Xander Family, they'll go all out to ruin our family's name." Content belongs to

"I know, but Dad should step in and take action against them. Otherwise, they'll think
that we're pushovers."
Michelle looked at her with a doting gaze.
"You've always been strong. Now that you're back here, you need to control your
temper. I've arranged a blind date for you this afternoon. You can't tease him this
time."
Silvia pursed her lips in annoyance and said impatiently. "That's part of my wit and humor. They just don't understand what witty humor is."
Michelle scoffed and said, “The last
time you went on a blind date with that boy from the Zeller Family, you brought along a large python. You scared him so badly that he brought bodyguards to all of his blind dates after that. Content belongs to Novelxo.org
"When you went on a blind date with the Walker Family's youngest son before that,
you knocked out his front teeth. We had to pay for his hefty medical bills. You call
that witty humor?"
