Hotel Manager: "I only helped my younger sister book that room. But that very day, that woman suddenly said she wanted to take her friends to that suite to watch the fireworks and told me to clear the room.
"My sister and brother-in-law had no choice but to switch to another hotel at the last minute. But on the way there, they were unfortunately involved in a car accident, and all three members of their family died."

The fiancé could not help saying, "Eimi really was selfish, but isn't this taking it out on her?"
"Taking it out on her?" The hotel manager suddenly gave a cold laugh.
"Do you know? That night, the esteemed Miss Oiso never stayed in that suite at all—because while she was riding here in her friend's car, that car caused a horrific traffic accident and killed a family of three in an ordinary sedan.
"The people who died were my sister's family.
"That night, that woman called me. She said her idiot friend had run someone over and killed them, and she didn't want to get dragged into it, so she asked me to lie and say she had been staying at the hotel all day.
"If she hadn't suddenly insisted on taking over the suite to watch fireworks, if she hadn't urged her friend to hurry, that accident might never have happened!"
The hotel manager took a deep breath. "Ever since that day, I've been looking for a chance for revenge. I never expected to finally get one today. When I secretly took off her necklace, I wasn't sure whether she would stay behind alone, but now it seems—heaven itself was on my side!"
