Chapter 841 You Are More Cruel Than Me
"Water! I need water!" Xiao Peng opened his eyes and shouted in pain. He looked around and found that he was still in the hotel.
Alfred walked into the room with a glass of water: "Mr. Xiao, this is warm water, right?"
Xiao Peng took the water cup and drank it greedily: "Oh my God, I'm finally alive... What happened yesterday?"
"Mr. Xiao, you are drunk!" Alfred said.
Xiao Peng rubbed his head desperately: "Damn it, why did I drink so much? I remember I was fine when we left the cocktail party last night. And then... then what happened?"
"And then?" Alfred said, "Yesterday, when we were leaving the cocktail party, Pascal ran into Ms. Julia Roberts. They seemed to have hit it off, and the more they talked, the more they got along. Then they insisted on going to a nightclub, and you insisted on organizing a group activity for everyone to go together. Then you got drunk."
"Julia Roberts?" Xiao Peng scratched his head. "The one who made the movie?"
Alfred said, "Yes, it's her. Pascal said that his grandfather loved Ms. Roberts when he was alive, and so did his father, and so did he. When he was leaving the party yesterday, he happened to run into Ms. Roberts who was on vacation in Atlantic City."
Xiao Peng rubbed his head and said, "What is this? The Golden Toad Family?"
"What Golden Toad Family?" Alfred asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said, "You should learn about Chinese culture and know the story of 'a toad wanting to eat swan flesh'... Hmm, I don't think I'm quite right. Pascal isn't a toad. What kind of girlfriend can't he find now? Wait! Julia Roberts could be his grandmother, right?"
Alfred smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Ms. Roberts is only in her fifties. She still looks as charming as ever, even though she's a little older, but..."
"Stop talking!" Xiao Peng interrupted Alfred. "This guy keeps saying I have an Oedipus complex. How dare he say that to me? Where is he?"
Alfred did not answer the question.
Xiao Peng raised his glass and asked Alfred to pour him another glass of water: "Where are Abby and Tildy?"
"They went to the spa," Alfred said.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Alfred, I have two things for you to do. The first is to change all the bedding on the boat!"
Alfred didn't look surprised. "Sir, the bedding has been changed."
"Burn everything you've used!" Xiao Peng said gritting his teeth.
Alfred said, "The bedding we use on board is all made from specially made Egyptian cotton by Frette in Italy. It's very expensive. Are we going to burn it like that?"
"Burned!" Xiao Peng said angrily, "As for the second thing."
After hearing this, Alfred apologized: "Mr. Xiao, I know what you are talking about. Evelin and the others have been dismissed."
"Dismissed?" Xiao Peng frowned. "Who did it?"
Alfred said, "Boss, their actions violated the regulations of the Dutch Butler School and tarnished the reputation of our school. Evelyn and the others have been expelled from the Dutch Butler School and are not allowed to seek employment under the name of the Dutch Butler School in the future."
Xiao Peng tapped the table rhythmically and suddenly looked up and said, "Alfred, you really care about your school."
Alfred was stunned: "Mr. Xiao, why do you say that?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Peng frowned and asked, "Have you calculated the losses?"
Alfred said, "We've counted them. Three bottles of 2011 Petrus Riesling are missing, four bottles of 2007 Le Pin, one bottle of Genting 1929 whisky, one bottle of 1941 Macallan whisky... and seventeen bottles of other liquor in total. Actually, the bottles are all there, but the contents have been tampered with."
Xiao Peng frowned. "Damn it! Are they going to take all the wine I bought at LIV-EX?"
LIV-EX stands for the London International Wine Exchange, a global barometer of high-end wine, accounting for nearly 75% of global high-end wine trading volume. While in England, Xiao Peng bought a batch of fine wines there and placed them on his ship. He didn't really understand wine, nor did he enjoy it; he simply placed them on his ship for prestige. Xiao Peng is a vulgar person, and everyone has vanity. He bought these wines to entertain guests, and now they're being sold cheaply to those idiots?
He couldn't quite understand what these Western girls were thinking.
I understand you guys going out to pick up a guy, but the result is going out for sex? I understand going out for sex, but you also bring me to my boat to steal my fine wine? What the hell are you trying to do?
This feeling is just like those people who are in debt but still give gifts to anchors and chase stars. They are totally crazy.
He frowned at Alfred, very dissatisfied with his behavior. He stole such valuable wine from me and made trouble in my room on my ship, and you just casually said "sack you" and that's it?
Alfred looked at Xiao Peng's expression and said hurriedly, "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood. I've already submitted a lawyer's letter to the Dutch Butler School on your behalf, hoping they'll give you an explanation. I've also submitted materials to the Dutch court to file a complaint against them. Evelyn and the others now know they've gotten into trouble, and they were waiting for you in the lobby this morning. However, I had the hotel drive them away and called the police to handle this matter. They're now suspected of theft and have been detained by the Atlantic City police."
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Oh my god, Alfred, you are even more cruel than I thought."
Alfred said, "Boss, although I graduated from the Dutch Butler School, I am your butler now. A good butler serves his employer solely... Of course, I admit that King William did give me some personal tasks, but I swear to God, I will never do anything that would affect my employer."
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "I hope you can do it. Damn it, we can't stay in Atlantic City any longer. We have to get out of here quickly. This drunken feeling is too uncomfortable!"
Alfred said, "Mr. Xiao, in fact, we may indeed have to leave."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng looked at Alfred and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Alfred said, "Today, you received a phone call while you were sleeping. The caller claimed to be Princess Esther Friedrich of Hedingen, the widow of Prince Wolfgang von Friedrich of Hedingen, Germany. She called to invite you to attend the funeral of Prince Hohenzollern!"
"What?" Xiao Peng was shocked. "Friedrich died? When did it happen?"
Alfred said, "It was yesterday!"
