Chapter 260
It was dark inside the room, and the lights weren’t switched on. There was even a peculiar silence infiltrating the room.
Even though Pearl was shocked, she remained calm and quiet. She was about to turn on the lights and see who dared to plot against her when she suddenly heard some vague muttering from inside the room.
She could hear it distinctly because it was quiet. “I said I can’t drink anymore. Stop making me drink…”
It sounded familiar, and Pearl wondered where she had heard that.
After that, she heard the person in bed tilting his b*dy slightly. He must have been drunk and was resting here.
Pearl wondered if Sophia wanted to drug her and lead her to a drunk man, making them sleep together to ruin her reputation.
Sighing at how vile Sophia’s schemes were, Pearl secretly observed the situation. There was merely a light scent of roses in the room, and it was clear that the man was asleep instead of being drugged.
Pearl acted carefully and turned on her phone’s flashlight to illuminate that person’s face. What she saw made her narrow her
eyes.
The person who was sleeping soundly in bed turned out to be Tyler, Esther’s brother.
However, Tyler was indifferent when a dazzling light was shone on his face. He even smacked his l*ps as if he was eating something nice in his dream.
“You’re so stupid, Tyler. It’s your sister’s birthday, and yet you’re completely drunk” Observing Tyler’s silly look, Pearl concluded that, despite his unsavory traits, he wasn’t bold enough to harm her. Moreover, the Sanders family, known for looking down upon Sophia’s family, was unlikely to ever collaborate with them. This situation filled Pearl with confusion.
Suddenly, she heard a scream before she could figure anything out. Rapid footsteps came immediately after that.
Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger, Pearl sneaked in when others weren’t paying attention to her. Besides, she wouldn’t be able to explain it well if others found her alone with Tyler in a room.
She glanced at Tyler before leaving and found that he wasn’t even awakened by such a great uproar. He was really sleeping soundly
The corridor outside was narrow and had become crowded with people. Some even lined up on the stairs, unable to make their way upstairs. The sudden scream at the birthday party had triggered a wave of shock, drawing everyone there to watch the unfolding scene with curiosity.
“What happened? Who screamed?”
“I don’t know. Let’s watch here. Maybe we can see who it was.”
There were endless comments and speculations.
The scream had come from a room near the corner of the stairs. A security guard forcefully kicked the door open. Confronted with the chaotic and amorous scene inside, he hesitated, unsure whether to close the door or avert his eyes.
Inside the room, four to five n*ked men were aggressively tearing at a woman’s clothes. The woman’s face was obscured in the melee, creating a scene that was distressingly intolerable.
Most of the guests at the party were young women who were around sixteen or seventeen. This unexpected scene made them shout, and some of them even hugged each other and cried in fear.
At that moment, the people in the room stopped because they seemed to have realized that something was amiss. Shyly, they tried to put on their clothes in a hurry and were about to run away, but they were stopped by the security guards.
At a time like this, the head of the family should handle the situation, but Esther’s parents were having a vacation, and Tyler was nowhere to be found. As a woman who had just come of age, such a heavy burden was laid on Esther’s shoulders.
