Chapter 1210
“He even went so far as to offend guests from other powerful conglomerates, locking down the entire hotel just to serve as our team’s preparation base p>
Serena tilted her head, the corners of her crimson lips curving slightly. “Very simple. Because I own this hotel p>
Mr. Ashwell was stunned.
He stood perfectly still, his mind blank for a moment.
It took a full thirty seconds for him to snap out of his absolute shock.
This premier seven-star hotel chain in Severia, an ultra-luxurious establishment where even local billionaire heirs couldn’t easily book a presidential suite, was the private property of this twenty-year-old girl?
In that moment, Mr. Ashwell finally understood completely.
Why the fiercely arrogant Mr. Harrison possessed such blind faith and admiration for Serena.
Why he dared to confidently guarantee that as long as they had Serena, the Elyndorian team would secure a flawless victory.
He also finally understood Mr. Harrison’s remark that “your presence on this trip is strictly ceremonial p>
Mr. Harrison told him to just listen to whatever Serena said, and he wouldn’t go wrong.
Indeed… he couldn’t go wrong.
Mr. Ashwell took a deep breath, his expression more solemn than ever before.
He took half a step back, and right in front of all the Elyndorian contestants, bowed deeply to Serena.
“Miss Serena, on behalf of the Elyndorian delegation, I thank you p>
“If not for your advance preparations today, no matter how the Elyndorian team handled the committee’s hostility, we would have faced severe controversy in the end p>
“It was you who not only protected Elyndor’s dignity but also delivered a resounding slap to their faces p>
“You have held up the spine and pride of our team p>
Serena looked at him, her lips curving. “Mr. Ashwell, you are exaggerating p>
“This is merely the duty of any Elyndorian citizen when facing foreign humiliation p>
She turned her gaze to the now-quiet Elyndorian contestants, her words precise and heavy. “Verbal arguments are meaningless p>
“In every single match going
forward, want you to use absolute skill. In the academic fields they take the most pride in, I want you to crush the other contestants into dest, especially Severia.content
Mr. Ashwell’s eyes grew hot.
The contestants standing nearby clenched their fists, their blood boiling as the fierce desire for battle was thoroughly ignited, Serena right. We will settle this on the battlefield p>
“Let’s destroy them p>
“We will wipe the floor with them academically. We will make sure they never hold their heads up again p>
Everyone flushed red with excitement, their eyes burning with fanatical anticipation for the upcoming matches.
Mr. Ashwell’s eyes grew even redder. He looked at the brilliant Elyndorian minds,
and then back at Serena.
His lips trembled, overwhelmed with emotion.
“Miss Serena p>
Serena cut off his sentimentality with a faint smile. “Mr. Ashwell, your room is at the end of the hall. It is quiet and perfect for your work p>
“There’s no need for any more thanks. Get some rest p>
She checked the time and addressed the rest of the team. “Today is the gathering
day for all international teams. The individual competitions officially begin tomorrow.” “Chairman Moore has already prepared your itinerary in the hotel for today.” “Everyone, get some good rest and recharge p>
After giving a few final instructions, Serena dismissed them.
As she carried her canvas bag back to her room, she called Lydia Brooks over privately I’m going to my room to rest. Do not let anyone disturb me for any reason. Just take everyone out to eat, play, and fully relax p>
