Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 766

Ethan handed the stack of passports and identity documents over to Lillian before heading straight to the hotel.

For now, placating the Bennett family fell squarely on his shoulders.

He was, after all, the only one at the company equipped to handle a mess like this.

Emma was too soft; she wouldn't just fail to manage them, she'd likely be eaten alive by that pack of wolves.

Victor was strictly a tech guy. With the equipment and models destroyed, he was buried in work helping Celia Bennett rebuild.

Lillian was out of the question—she was already juggling a dozen other crises.

That left Ethan as the perfect candidate.

When he arrived at the hotel, the concierge was already waiting for him in the lobby.

"Mr. Hayes, you're here. That group just ordered more food. Are they bottomless pits? The sheer volume they're consuming is staggering."

Ethan wasn't surprised in the slightest. "Give them whatever they want.

Keep the food and liquor flowing. If they ask for it, provide it."

The concierge sighed. "Of course, Mr. Hayes. But where on earth did these people come from? They have absolutely no class. Are you and Ms. Mercer really going to just put up with them?"

"Don't pry," Ethan warned smoothly. "Everyone has a few poor relatives. They'll stay here, play around for a few days, eat their fill, and then they'll be sent packing back home.

If you dig too deep, things just get embarrassing for everyone. Understood?"

The concierge offered a professional smile. In their industry, snooping into a guest's private life was a cardinal sin anyway.

But this particular group was the absolute most bizarre bunch he had encountered in his entire career.

Industry rules dictated not to pry, unless it was truly unbearable.

Ethan made his way up to the grand suite. The moment he stepped through the door, every conscious, sober member of the Bennett family swarmed him.

Even Dolores, who had been quietly gazing out the window, walked over, looking at him with eyes brimming with hope.
