Enraged, Ruby tried to approach Katelyn from the water, shouting, “I’ll rip those rude mouths of yours! You’re the ones who have unpleasant looks!”
However, Ruby’s growing distress made her steps falter. She had barely moved a few steps before she slipped, falling back into the swimming pool in a most graceless manner.
Exhaling deeply, Alfy looked at Katelyn and suggested, “Katelyn, perhaps it’s time we changed rooms. Given her nasty remarks, I fear she’s polluted the water.”
She was there to guard Katelyn today. Nobody was going to intimidate Katelyn. Absolutely nobody!
While observing Alfy, Ashlyn’s gaze was filled with respect. She didn’t resist the idea of a room change, but rather endorsed it on Katelyn’s behalf, saying, “Sure, let’s find a different room.” Although there weren’t many premier rooms available, they weren’t bound to this one alone. Given the circumstances, none of them felt inclined to stay and swim any longer. Katelyn readily agreed to the move.
For the two managers, this decision came as a relief. Allowing the confrontation to escalate further could only have ended badly for everyone involved.
“Alright, Miss Bailey, please come with us,” one of them said.
The stakes were high—not just their jobs, but possibly more could be at risk if tensions worsened.
By the time Ruby managed to struggle out of the pool, Katelyn and her party had already departed. In her irritation, Ruby slapped the water repeatedly, exclaiming, “Damn nuisances! Is this how your hotel treats its guests? I’m filing a complaint!” Ruby was seething with rage.
However, the other manager remained at the poolside, bowing his head respectfully, choosing not to engage.
Ruby’s stare turned cold. Who were these women who dared to snub her? They would regret their actions today!
After pulling herself out of the pool, Ruby picked up her soaked phone, which was thankfully waterproof and still working. She quickly made a call and commanded, “I need you to run a background check on some people immediately!”

Ruby ended the call quickly after giving some instructions. Katelyn and her group, meanwhile, had slipped into a new room, much quieter than the last, a peaceful retreat from the chaos they’d just left behind. The soft chirp of crickets filled the air.
Ashlyn’s laughter bubbled up uncontrollably, her whole body swaying as she struggled to catch her breath. She had met her fair share of wealthy heiresses, all poised and perfect, but Katelyn was something different. A quick wit like that? It was rare—and utterly delightful.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Ashlyn looked over at Katelyn, a playful glint in her eyes.
“How did you do it? Everything you say is hilarious! If I had even half your cleverness, I could just piss off anyone.” As she spoke, Ashlyn moved toward the changing room, eager to slip into her swimsuit.
Alfy peeked out from behind a door, his grin wide and mischievous.
“That’s nothing. She was being polite.”
