Chapter 497 A Trap
An engagement party held on the 60th floor of the Ramada Hotel would cost an unimaginable amount of money!
James was still asking nonstop on the other end of the line, "Hello? Young Master Nicholas? Could you still hear me?"
Gulp! Nicholas gave an audible gulp. "Well… Mr. Turner, I just decided to hold my engagement party a moment ago, but I didn't make a reservation at the Ramada Hotel for that—"
"Well, let me explain it to you, Young Master Nicholas," James replied. He explained unhurriedly, stressing each word, "Our hotel regularly selects a lucky patron among those who have dined here and offers them a huge discount. As it happens, President Fox, your father, just got selected. I just spoke to him over the phone, and he mentioned that you'd probably be holding your engagement party in the near future. That's why our hotel has decided to offer a banquet for your engagement party. The reservation fee can't be waived, but we'll offer you the highest discount."
James' explanation sounded reasonable, but in reality, the selection of lucky patrons was just a story made up by him. He only made the phone call because Kingsley had sent him a couple of text messages just now, ordering him to find a way to set a trap for Matt to make a reservation at Ramada Hotel for the engagement party.
Having witnessed with his own eyes how Kingsley had turned Hugo into a vegetable with just one kick, James knew full well that Kingsley was a bigwig who couldn't be messed with. Therefore, after receiving the text messages, he immediately called Matt up without delay. After getting Matt to talk about Nicholas' engagement party in just a few words, he lured the man with the shocking bait of a free-of-charge banquet!
Given Ramada Hotel's reputation, Matt didn't even suspect that James was actually laying a trap for him. After all, it was now common knowledge that Ramada Hotel had been acquired by the Coliree Group. He didn't think a mammoth corporation like the Coliree Group would have nothing better to do than to use such a petty trick against him. As a result, he accepted the offer without thinking, making a reservation for Nicholas' engagement party at Ramada Hotel.
After closing the deal with Matt, James then called Nicholas and informed him of this.
Nicholas' Adam's apple bobbed up and down for a while as he listened to James' explanation. "Y-You mean it was my dad who made the reservation for the banquet? Not only that, but the banquet's free of charge, and there's a ten percent discount on the reservation fee?!" At this very moment, he only felt like he was dreaming. Could such a good thing really fall into his lap?! Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
However, James replied in all seriousness, "That's right. If you have more than 200 guests for the party, we'll give you a 20-percent discount. If you have more than 300 guests, then the discount will be 30 percent. Our banquet hall can hold a total of 1,000 people, but we can only offer you a 50-percent discount at most." He offered such a high discount because Kingsley had just sent him a text message telling him to lower the price as much as possible lest the Fox Family be deterred at once!
"A 50-percent discount at most?!" Nicholas flushed with excitement. He had been worrying just now that Clarence might invite too many guests to the engagement party, but now, it seemed that the more guests were coming to the party, the more money he could save! At the thought of this, he promptly replied, "Okay, okay! That's settled, Mr. Turner. I'll be holding my engagement party at Ramada Hotel the day after tomorrow!"
He was still in a dreamy state after hanging up the phone. Rubbing his cheeks as hard as he could, he asked the Wynns in a quavering voice, "D-Did you guys hear that?"
Clarence and others nodded in stupefaction. "W-We did…" Second-class families like them might never get qualified to enter the 60th floor of Ramada Hotel in their lifetime. At this moment, hearing that his daughter could actually have her engagement party held there, Clarence was totally stunned!
