Free Web NovelChapter 330: Chapter 330: Twisting Shamelessly
Chloe Alden, unconvinced by fate, took out the Universal Room Card and walked stiffly to the door of room C011.
What could be inside?
Thinking about the possible scenes of crime, Chloe’s hands, gripping the Universal Room Card, began to tremble slightly.
...
Seeing Chloe like this, Cecilia Vaughn sneered internally. She had long known they were up to such schemes, yet now the one backing down was Chloe herself.
"What’s wrong? Weren’t you all saying I was in C011? You even specially got a Universal Card from the front desk. Now you have everything, but you don’t dare to open the door?"
Cecilia stood gracefully, her face as exquisite as a secluded orchid, with a faint smile that unfortunately didn’t reach her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Chloe’s heart filled with overwhelming hatred.
"Cecilia Vaughn, don’t be smug! Don’t think that just because The Eldest Young Master Law is backing you, you can be so arrogant."
Cecilia’s almond eyes narrowed slightly, and those beautiful eyes were now filled with a chilling cold that made everyone present shiver inexplicably.
"Arrogant? Eldest Miss Alden, don’t forget, you falsely accused me of messing around with some strange man, and you even testified as a witness in front of many classmates. I think I’m entitled to get a lawyer to sue you."
As she spoke, Cecilia glanced sideways with a half-smile at Fiona Vaughn, who was trying hard to minimize her presence.
"Fiona Vaughn, I remember you played a part in stirring this up, didn’t you? You’re a superstar in the entertainment industry; you should know how serious the crime of defamation is."
Meeting Cecilia’s intimidating almond gaze, Fiona’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, when did this little bastard gain such authority?
Unwillingly leaning against the wall, she looked up again with a tearful, weak questioning expression.
"Sister, we were just concerned about you, and Chloe only vaguely said she saw you being close with a man. Maybe she saw it wrong, so why are you being so aggressive?"
"Aggressive?"
These four words were really fitting!
Cecilia lazily leaned against Adrian Law’s embrace, her almond eyes shimmering with brilliance.
"So, can you wrongly accuse others without needing to apologize?"
Adrian, too, embraced her casually, his long phoenix eyes surveying everyone present, finally pausing for a few extra seconds on Fiona and Chloe.
"Cecilia, don’t worry. All the lawyers in Stellerton are at your disposal. Perhaps once these rumor-mongering shrews are in the station, they’ll be willing to confess."
...
Shrews?
Is that really how Adrian sees her and Chloe?
Chloe is one thing, but Fiona has always considered herself delicate and beautiful; how could she bear such a reputation!
Moreover, if she ends up in the police station, all the popularity she’d painstakingly regained since her pregnancy would probably hit rock bottom again!
The situation was more powerful than the people, and Fiona’s throat choked up, finally bowing her head reluctantly.
"Mr. Law, I’m sorry... Chloe and I really didn’t mean it..."
She hurried forward, pulling Chloe’s sleeve sharply.
"Chloe, aren’t you going to apologize to your sister? If your eyes weren’t so poor, how would such a big mistake have occurred today?"
As she spoke, Fiona furtively snatched the Universal Room Card from Chloe’s hand while everyone was distracted.
She felt something was off about today; it might be better not to open the door to room C011. Whatever the hotel manager did in C011, it’s best not to stir more trouble.
...
Fiona poked Chloe’s waist, subtly signaling her to cooperate.
"Fiona, why are you siding with that shameless woman? She clearly..."
Fiona’s patience with this fool was limited, but now they were all in the same boat. She had no choice but to whisper in Chloe’s ear.
"I’m doing this for your good, Chloe. You don’t want it to blow up again like last time, having to apologize on Weibo and Facebook using your real name, do you?"
Remembering last time’s incident, Chloe shuddered, looking at Cecilia with a hint of fear.
Though she’d lost her head, she was still very prideful, so she reluctantly glanced at Fiona before bowing her head to Cecilia with gritted teeth.
"Cecilia Vaughn, so... sorry... let’s just say I was seeing things."
"What do you mean, ’just say you were seeing things?’ Eldest Miss Alden, aren’t your eyes usually sharper than this?"
Cecilia scoffed; she had long noticed the Universal Room Card hidden in Fiona’s hand, thus she stretched her slender hand directly at the door of room C011.
"You were all so sure I was messing around in C011, so let’s see what kind of monsters are in that room!"
Fiona’s heart skipped a beat.
"Won’t that be inappropriate? What if we’re invading someone’s privacy?"
Almost as Fiona’s voice faded, a sudden burst of shouts and crashes came from within room C011, enough to shock the heart.
...
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"What the heck? Did you all hear that? Is there really someone in room C011?"
"But I see that all our former classmates from Class A of high school are here?"
At this moment, a girl with a good memory suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Fiona and Chloe.
"Fiona, Chloe! How do I remember you also brought a college classmate along? She was quite pretty but unfamiliar, so no one spoke to her."
"That girl...she...could she be in C011?"
Fiona’s body shook, and before she could say anything, a boy rushed forward and questioned sharply.
"We’ve been arguing here in the hallway for so long, if that girl was inside, why hasn’t she come out to check? Could something have happened?"
"Give me the Universal Card!"
Thinking about the possibility, Fiona’s pretty face grew even paler.
So Katherine North was inside?
No...it shouldn’t be like this...
Before Fiona could clarify, the boy had already snatched the Universal Room Card from her hand.
With a beep, the whole door opened!
A horrific scene unfolded directly before everyone!
The few girls facing the door couldn’t help but vomit!
"Oh my God! It’s disgusting!"
The suite lay in disarray, with various floor lamps knocked over, and an old man, appearing to be in his fifties, shamelessly tangled on top of Katherine North...
The man’s eyes were bloodshot, clearly in a wrong state, as he growled.
"Give me, give me—"
While Katherine looked much worse, completely covered in blood, tears and mucus streaming.
Her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and her eyes vacant, almost like a soulless puppet!
...
Cecilia was just about to take a glance when Adrian abruptly pressed her against the wall, his large hands covering her eyes.
"Cecilia, don’t look—"
