Free Web NovelChapter 327: Chapter 327: The Eldest Young Master Law, So Handsome It Makes People Scream
At the last moment when the door was kicked, Cecilia Vaughn glimpsed Katherine North’s eyes filled with disbelief and even a hint of despair.
Despair?
Indeed, if memory serves, Katherine North wasn’t someone who could bear any weight or lift anything, completely a weak woman, while the man inside was drugged and stood at over six feet tall.
Even if the man was old enough to be their father, his strength was still something a woman would find hard to challenge.
...
"I was wrong! Cecilia Vaughn, I was wrong! Please open the door! Sob sob... I beg you to save me!"
The soundproofing in the rooms at The Majestic Springs Grand Hotel was quite good, but Katherine North’s screams were piercingly intense, downright terrifying. Even without seeing through the door, it wasn’t hard to imagine the gruesome scene unfolding inside.
Cecilia Vaughn indifferently pulled out a room card from the sleeve of her down jacket.
——C012.
It was precisely Katherine North’s original card.
The girl’s delicate porcelain-white fingers gently brushed the golden numbers on it. At the same time, Cecilia Vaughn heard the screams from room C011 growing more desperate, shrill...
"Save me... someone save me..."
"Scumbag, get lost, don’t come near... Classmate Vaughn, Cecilia Vaughn! I’m begging you, open the door!"
The broken tone almost made one’s hair stand on end.
The sound of pounding on the door was thunderously loud.
But after a while, through the door, Cecilia Vaughn faintly heard a man’s coarse laughter, followed by a crash as if something had fallen to the ground, and Katherine North’s voice grew weaker, becoming a nearly inaudible sob.
Probably, she had been subdued by the scumbag they had invited.
...
Cecilia Vaughn didn’t listen any longer. Her brow turned slightly cold, the curve of her lips astonishingly murderous, yet only two words spread in her heart.
Serves you right!
Apologies, her compassion was limited. Had it been someone else, Cecilia Vaughn might have helped, at least alerted security or the police. But for someone who intentionally sought to harm her, she didn’t have that saintly empathy to spare.
If she hadn’t been more vigilant, the one desperately screaming inside would probably have been herself.
This sort of thing had happened once three years ago, hadn’t it?
Even though Young Master Trent hadn’t succeeded, Cecilia Vaughn paid a lifelong price for it—a woman who had been sentenced was looked down upon by society’s conventions; even more terrifying was the shadow in the dead of night...
...
Coldly, Cecilia Vaughn turned, walking toward the other room across the hall.
C012, with a swipe, the room door opened.
Cecilia Vaughn entered, estimating that Fiona Vaughn and Chloe Alden, as per their behavior, would likely take at least ten minutes to come up to catch the act in the act. After all, just tearing off clothes wasn’t dramatic enough for them; they preferred to absolutely disgrace Cecilia Vaughn.
Cecilia Vaughn sat on the soft, comfortable leather sofa, casually turning on the TV to the maximum volume, ensuring that no noise from the neighboring room could be heard.
She contemplated for a few seconds, then sent a message to the class president.
——Class president, wanna play games? Haven’t you always wanted to teach me how to play "Escape"? You’ve got two minutes; if you’re not here, I won’t wait.
The female class president arrived quickly because Cecilia Vaughn kept the door open and the TV volume loud, so they didn’t notice the abnormality of the neighboring room at all.
"Cecilia, aren’t you not into gunfight games like ’Escape’?"
Cecilia Vaughn gave a nonchalant glance at the adjacent room and then swiftly pulled the female class president’s hand, closing the door behind them and adjusting the TV volume to a moderate level.
This way, the class president wouldn’t notice anything amiss next door, nor would passersby outside think it was too noisy.
After making these adjustments, Cecilia Vaughn arched an eyebrow at the female class president with a smile.
"Class president, today is different; it’s an extraordinary day."
"How is it different?"
The class president was intrigued, but upon seeing Cecilia Vaughn’s slightly casual smile at the corner of her mouth, she was suddenly struck by it.
"Oh, don’t look at me like that! It’s a good thing I’m oriented towards men; otherwise, if you keep smiling at me like that, I’d switch sides."
"Alright, alright, I won’t smile, I won’t smile. Come on, come on, master, carry me."
Cecilia Vaughn opened her phone; she had just downloaded the gunfight battle game "Escape".
"Alright, may good fortune be with us, let’s enjoy chicken tonight!"
Cecilia Vaughn nodded in agreement; tonight indeed was "intense", wasn’t it?
...
Cecilia Vaughn preferred ancient-style single-player games; she wasn’t too familiar with the current mobile competitive games, but she had heard of "Escape", the battle royale. Now, with the class president on board, she quickly engaged with enthusiasm.
"Be careful, jump with me from the plane, cover yourself, and let’s first gather gunfight gear and medicines in those houses."
Cecilia Vaughn didn’t quite get it at first, but at least she wasn’t dragging anyone down. Gradually, she managed to take out a few enemies with bullets.
"Cecilia, your operation is pretty good! Let’s get in the vehicle, avoid the toxic circle, and get to the safe zone..."
"Of course, don’t you know who’s teaching me..."
Cecilia Vaughn genuinely smiled, enjoying the cooperation with the class president, when suddenly there was a commotion of footsteps outside.
That’s right, it seemed the real show was about to begin...
Cecilia Vaughn’s smile deepened, but she continued to focus on the game.
...
Meanwhile, outside in the corridor, chaos ensued.
Fiona Vaughn bit her lip; she grasped Chloe Alden’s shoulders tightly, showing disbelief.
"Chloe, did you really see my sister taking a man into the room?"
"I’m sure I didn’t see wrong! I just came out of the restroom and saw a middle-aged man in a suit, dresses nicely but looking sneaky, close to Cecilia Vaughn."
A girl with a favorable opinion of Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but argue.
"Chloe Alden, our class has booked the whole hotel today; where was there a middle-aged man in our class? Did you see his face clearly, confirm there was such a person?"
Chloe Alden angrily clenched her fist.
"Today is our class reunion, why would I wrongly accuse Cecilia Vaughn? If she dared to mess around with an old man at this time, she would seriously disgrace our Class A! We must call her out!"
"Is this really a good idea..."
While people were discussing, suddenly the elevator door dinged open, and a cold, sharp figure rushed out.
"Where’s Cecilia?"
The figure charged forward, startling everyone, and when they looked up, they were instantly struck by Adrian Law’s incredibly handsome face!
What a handsome man!
Chloe Alden saw Adrian Law’s furious glare and immediately felt triumphant.
"The Eldest Young Master Law, you’re here, just in time to catch her in the act! That little witch Cecilia Vaughn is messing around in the room with someone, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a force suddenly swept past her!
"Smack—"
In an instant, Chloe Alden was hit into a daze!
