Scum Daddy Dreams Of Stealing My Mommy!
Chapter 34 President Hart Gets Jealous

Chapter 34: Chapter 34 President Hart Gets Jealous

Amelia Garcia’s design studio was quickly established.

Moreover, thanks to Lily Garcia’s "contribution," that negative post not only failed to ruin her reputation but inadvertently served as free advertising.

Within a few days, numerous clients came to make reservations.

Amelia could not handle so many orders at once, so she had to transfer a few experienced designers from the European headquarters.

Unexpectedly, her partner Kane also came with the designers.

In the evening, Amelia hosted a banquet at the Monarch International Hotel to welcome Kane and the few designers and cleanse them of any travel weariness.

When the group arrived at the hotel, they found out that the private rooms were all occupied, leaving only the main dining area available, which made Amelia frown slightly.

"What should we do, eat in the main dining area or find another restaurant?" she asked, turning her head to seek Kane’s opinion.

Kane, being of noble birth and having ties with the European Royalty, was accustomed to a life of luxury.

The tall blond man with blue eyes looked around and shrugged, "I don’t mind, either way."

That meant he did mind.

Amelia prepared to take her group to another restaurant.

"Wait!" Just as she was about to turn around, someone beside her called out to her.

She turned back and, catching a glimpse of that face, her heart skipped a beat.

It was Christopher’s close friend—Benny Palmer!

"Sir, did you call me?" she asked with a polite smile.

Benny Palmer gave her a smile, said nothing, and with one hand in his pocket, summoned the manager with the other hand.

"Young Master Palmer, what can I do for you?"

"Give my private room to this beautiful and elegant lady," Benny Palmer said, his gaze returning to Amelia.

It was undeniable that the woman had become more beautiful after her divorce, as if she was transformed, and her speech and demeanor had drastically changed!

If not for his good brother insisting that she was Amelia Garcia, he might have thought she was just another woman who looked like her.

The manager was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

"Uh... that’s not what I mean." The manager, still smiling, turned to Amelia, "Hello, this is Young Master Palmer. He offers his private room to you—please follow me."

Amelia was quite surprised as well, but she was very clear about Benny’s intent.

He was also testing the waters.

"Thank you, Mr. Palmer, but there’s no need. My friends and I will just go to another restaurant," she declined with a smile.

"No, no, no, I have few guests, and using such a large private room is really a waste," Benny Palmer insisted with enthusiasm, then looked at the manager, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take the guests up!"

Before Amelia could respond, the ever-friendly Kane stepped forward, grasping Benny’s hand, "Thanks, your countrymen are really nice!"

Benny Palmer replied with a smile, "Of course!"

While speaking, he leaned closer toward the foreigner and whispered, "Your girlfriend is really beautiful!"

Kane glanced back at Amelia and beamed, "Thanks, but she’s not my girlfriend yet, I’m... pursuing her."[Readers, don’t correct me anymore, it’s a joke about the foreigner’s mispronunciation, it’s a gag, why is everyone correcting me...]

"Is that so? Well, I wish you success!" Benny Palmer said with a chuckle and gave Kane a pat on the back, "Enjoy your meal!"

Amelia: "..."

The manager led the way, and since it wouldn’t be good to refuse again, she could only thank Benny Palmer with a nod and then proceeded to the private room.

"Kane."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know who that person was? You were so enthusiastic."

"Who?"

"My ex-husband’s good friend."

"..." Kane stared at her, his deep blue eyes growing wide.

Upon settling in the private room, Amelia’s heart was all over the place.

Benny Palmer would definitely call Christopher soon, she wondered what move he would make next.

----

Watching the group head upstairs, Benny Palmer found a nice window seat in the lobby, took out his cellphone.

"Not here yet?"

"Here, at the entrance."

Benny looked towards the lobby entrance and indeed, he saw the highly attractive father and daughter.

He waved his hand and said into the phone, "First floor, by the window."

Christopher saw him and walked over with his precious daughter in his arms, furrowing his brows, "Why are you sitting here? Where’s your private room?"

This five-star hotel was actually a property of the Palmer Family, so there was always a private room reserved for Benny.

"I gave the private room to a beautiful lady." Benny looked at the cute and pretty little girl, calling out with a smile, "Hope, come to uncle."

Hope giggled and went around the dining table to sit in Benny’s lap, "Uncle, I’ll do a magic trick for you."

"Sure! I’m watching."

Christopher took a seat, scornfully saying, "You gave it up for a beautiful woman? Ha, are you going to take her straight upstairs after dinner?"

"I’d like to, but I’m afraid someone wouldn’t want that."

Christopher gave him another cold glance.

Benny watched the little girl’s naive magic trick and gave her a few compliments out of courtesy, then looked at his friend across the table, "The reason I gave up the private room wasn’t for my own benefit. I was being gentlemanly purely for your sake today."

"What’s that to me!"

"Hey, don’t be so incredulous! Guess who I gave the private room to?"

Christopher had no time for such idleness, turning a deaf ear and calling his daughter back to sit properly and drink some water.

Benny was frustrated, "Hey, hey, hey! I’m talking to you!"

"I’m not deaf."

"I gave it to your ex-wife! Or should I say, your deceased wife!"

Christopher was pouring water for his daughter when he stiffened at the words, turning back with a distinctly different look in his eyes, "She’s here?"

Benny began to smirk, "Weren’t you just ignoring me?"

"Is she with Snow?"

"First, apologize for your arrogant attitude just now."

"No, she and Snow don’t need such a big private room for just the two of them, who is she really with?"

"Christopher! Could you please listen to what I’m saying?"

"Benny, I’ll give you three seconds to answer my question, or I’ll send you off to Africa!"

Seal-Cloud Corporation had recently secured a government project in Africa, where the conditions were harsh, and none of the senior company officials were willing to go, each trying to evade and slip through.

"You... you’re ruthless!" Benny was, after all, "living under someone else’s roof," and even though he was gritting his teeth in anger, he still gave in, "She’s with a few foreigners, one of whom is pursuing her. The man talks to her so intimately he almost sticks to her face."

Upon hearing this, President Hart’s complexion drastically changed, and he suddenly stood up, "How long have they gone up?"

Benny stared at him, assessing.

"...What are you going to do? Burst in there? Don’t forget, you’ve been divorced for over four years! Even if she’s just getting close with someone of the opposite sex, even if she kisses him publicly, you have no right to interfere, you know!"

"She wouldn’t dare!" He would go up and tear that scoundrel’s mouth apart!

Watching his reaction, Benny started snickering.

Christopher realized he was being mocked when he saw Benny’s gleeful snicker, his face instantly darkening, "You really want to go to Africa, huh?" He glowered and sat down heavily.

"Come on, don’t get mad! Just admit that you still think about her, miss her, love her, how hard can it be? Look at you, green with jealousy, one word—epic! Two words—jealous husband!"

"Scram!"
