Chapter 72 - Henpecked Husband (2/2)

”You…” A man latched his wife's mouth with his hand before she could continue.

Another man stuttered gazing into Alvin's eyes. That man wanted to look away but he couldn't. He was afraid Alvin might hit him too. Considering he was just a young man, ”Y-You c-can't h-hit u-u-us.”

Alvin smiled darkly, silently telling them that he could hit them if he wanted.

The manager swallowed hard looking at Alvin. He couldn't understand this man at all. He sees him obliging to his wife like a henpecked husband and now intimidating people just by speaking a little.

With a great effort, he interrupted hesitantly, ”Mr. Collins, please be calm. Let's behave like educated people and speak.”

'Collins,' The group froze. If there was fear of Alvin hitting them, now it was replaced with their family reputation and career at stake.

A woman first flipped the plate, ”Haha... Mr. Collins, OMG, I had seen you when you were in school. You have grown so handsomely. Do you remember me? Aunty Webb?... You must have forgotten. It's alright. It's been many years.” She laughed awkwardly again.

Linus studying abroad came to their use. It was good they didn't remember Linus's name.

Anya who heard the woman was speechless. How could they change just like that? Alvin hated these kinds of people so his annoyance was evident on his face.

Another man reluctantly held his anger, ”Mr. Collins, we will forgive you for your father and grandfather's sake. We hope you don't repeat this.” Linus's grandfather was a president of a country twice in a row after serving in the military for twenty years. So Collins had a great reputation.

'Forgive?'

Alvin's face couldn't be more disgusted by hearing the man. They didn't only fail to teach their son, they weren't capable of standing by their sons.

Anya turned around and went next to Alvin, ”Forgive? Why don't you beg us to forgive you all and your sons?” She scorned.

The manager who almost thought everything cleared was dumbfounded. He knew it would be hard to resolve it so easily.

A woman who was about to shout at Anya held back her voice and said through her teeth, ”Mrs. Collins, behave yourself. Don't tarnish the name of Collins.”

Anya: ”...”

How was she tarnishing the Collins name? She couldn't fall to their brazen level. These were utterly disgusting people.

Alvin's arm wrapped around her shoulder as his cold voice rang, ”Could you broaden my views by telling us how my wife tarnished the family name?”

The woman shook, meeting Alvin's eyes. She lowered her head and uneasily slid behind her husband. Her husband tried to take a stand for his wife, ”Mr. Collins, She meant to say we are forgiving you despite our son's suffering. You should be…” He choked in his words when he looked at the couple's face.

Anya turned to the manager, ”Mr. Manager, who is the technician here? I would like them to see the passageways videos and get to know who should be on their knees asking for forgiveness.” Though she sounded firm, her words were polite.

The manager was reluctant as it would create a huge mess but when everyone's eyes fell on him, he awkwardly smiled. ”I will arrange it immediately.”

Alvin took a seat on the couch, pulling her with him to sit. He sensed her third time stifling a yawn. ”Let's go and grab some sleep.”

Anya shook her head, if these parents don't stop their sons, they will bring more men and trouble them. A little sacrifice of sleep was worth their peace of mind.

Alvin tugged her into a comfortable position. He could guess she had a routine every day. After waking up in the jet, she hadn't caught a wink of sleep. It had been more than twenty hours. He was used to being awake for a long time so he could manage for a longer time.

The assistant manager returned with a man who was in charge of watching over the surveillance. Anya tried to stand up but Alvin kept her seat. She didn't bother to argue, she had no energy. ”Please play the surveillance footage at 8:45 AM, sixth floor at room number 643.”

Alvin noted how accurate she was with the time and room number.

The technician immediately worked on his laptop and played the video. His expression changed almost instantly.

They had a huge room set with numerous screens to keep their eyes on every passageway, hotel. pubs, recreation rooms, and decks. If there was anything odd, they could check the place immediately and take it under control. That's the security protocol of the ship.

So why didn't he or his colleagues notice that three men were harassing a woman?
