Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 141

It was pitch black inside and there were no lights on. As a result, there was a strange and tranquil mood.

Elspeth was taken aback but her expression remained calm. She reached out and turned on the lights. She was preparing to investigate to find out the perpetrator when she heard a muffled sound not far away.

She could hear the words because it was quiet. “I told you that was my limit. Please don’t force me to drink anymore…”

Elspeth recognized the voice and thought she had heard it before.

The person on the bed immediately twisted sideways and she heard a rolling sound.

I believe someone drank too much and is now napping here. Is Alaina attempting to drug me and send me to a drunk person so we can sleep together and damage my reputation?

While quietly viewing the situation from the sidelines, Elspeth criticized Alaina’s nasty style of doing things.

There was no smell in the room save for a faint scent of roses. It meant that the individual in the bed was having a good night’s sleep and was not under the influence of drugs.

Elspeth turned on her phone light to shine on the man’s face, fearing this was a trap. Her expression turned thunderous the next second.

It turned out that it was Hex, Yelena’s brother, who was splayed out on the bed.

The glare of the light on Hex’s face didn’t bother him. He smacked his lips as if eating a delicacy in his dreams.

“Hex, you’re so pitiful! Today is your sister’s birthday and yet, you’re completely drunk.”

Look at his silly appearance. No matter how lustful Hex is, he is unlikely to have the courage to hurt me. Furthermore, his family despises Alaina’s family. Thus, they will not collaborate. What exactly is going on?

Before Elspeth could figure it out, a scream pierced the air.

The very next second, there were hasty footsteps outside.

As the crowd grew larger, Elspeth was able to creep out while no one was looking.

It would be challenging to clear her name if it was discovered that she was in the same room as Hex.

However, she glanced at Hex before departing. If such a massive upheaval didn’t wake him, it meant he was sleeping like a log.

The corridor was not particularly wide, but it was crowded. Those who couldn’t fit through the corridor lined up on the stairs. After all, cries from a real birthday party would result in either news or gossip, so everyone gathered to enjoy the show.

“What happened? Who screamed?”

“I don’t know. Let’s take a look here. Maybe it’s from a big wig.”

Everyone made similar remarks.

The scream came from the room at the corner near the stairs. When the security guy kicked open the door, he observed the chaotic scene inside. He couldn’t decide whether to close the door or cover his

eyes first.

Inside, a few naked males were shredding a woman’s clothes. They couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly, but the scene was awful.

Most of those who attended the party were teenage girls who had never seen anything like this. As a result, they all yelled in shock. Some even hugged each other and cried.

When the men realized something was wrong, they stopped moving and dressed in shame. Before they could flee, the security guard stopped them.

At this point, the family’s head should have come out to control the situation. But Yelena’s parents were on vacation and Hex was nowhere to be found. As such, Yelena, who had just turned 18, had to take the initiative.

Although she was a celebrity who frequently attended grand events, she had never been in such a situation.

Elspeth wanted to walk over and reassure her, but it was so crowded that she couldn’t.

Yelena was shaking among the crowd, looking helpless.

Suddenly, she noticed a pair of captivating eyes staring at her from the corner. It was Max, her crush, who was staring at her.

He seemed to be telling her that she didn’t have to be terrified.

As a result, she gained confidence and her voice became more stable as she announced, “We will look into this issue. Please take the initiative to explain what happened if you know what transpired.”

She acted like a daughter of the Sullivan Family.

Finding out who the woman inside was became critical at that moment. The journalists were holding their cell phones and cameras up to take photos. They needed this image to make the next day’s headlines.

At that point, Callum was becoming concerned. Elspeth was not with him and he was concerned that she might be framed.

However, when he saw that the woman had silky, straight hair, he felt comforted and turned away.

The security guy approached the woman and turned her body. The woman had been flung about and was unconscious at the time. Her snow-white skin was bruised but thankfully, her face remained unharmed. As a result, she could still be identified with one look.

“Alaina?!”

Several of the girls who were friendly with Alaina cried out. They couldn’t stomach looking at her directly, but a sidelong glimpse revealed her face.

The journalists snapped photos quickly. Because the Sullivan Corporation was a huge company, they wondered if the Sullivans could handle it properly.

How exciting! Alaina prefers to sleep with a few men in other’s homes!

“Please remain calm. Let’s escort… Miss Sullivan to rest in another room.”

Yelena calmed down and she relaxed when she realized it was Alaina.

She had always despised Alaina because the woman was flattering and constantly framing Elspeth, which she considered repulsive. Truth was, Yelena was glad that this occurred, regardless of who was responsible.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Elspeth was shocked to learn that it was Alaina who was inside.

Suddenly, the truth dawned on her as she sneered slowly.

Alaina was probably attempting to frame me, but she failed and fell into her own trap. She deserves it!

Callum eventually found Elspeth behind the group as the crowd dispersed.

He was relieved to see her unharmed. However, he quickly became enraged. “Why did you go missing for so long? What happened to you?”

Elspeth looked around to make sure no one was around before she smiled deviously like a fox. “Alaina drugged me earlier. Fortunately, I took the antidote and flushed the poison from my system. I intended to play her game and see what she had in store for me, but the attendant misdirected me to the wrong room, so Alaina took the fall instead.”

Alaina probably didn’t anticipate being harmed because she was unfamiliar with the layout.

What goes around, comes around. Alaina is finished.
