Caught off guard, Vernon was somewhat stunned.

As for Nora, she had long lost her rationality and was clinging to Vernon, making it impossible for him to push her away.

Soon after, the reporters bombarded them with questions.

"Mr. Morton, are you and Miss Munoz in a romantic relationship?"

"Now that you’re openly dating at Holy Night, does it mean your wedding is on the way?"

"So, is Miss Munoz's refusal to marry into the Carlson family because of you?"

One sharp question after another was thrown at Vernon by the reporters.

He had to quickly shield Nora behind him, not to protect her, but to prevent her embarrassing state from being captured by the reporters and causing trouble for him.

Faced with the reporters' questions, Vernon got mad as his chest heaved up and down, his nerves taut, and his anger raging inside.

He slightly turned his head, but his eyes inadvertently fell on the somewhat stiff figure of Molly.He wanted to explain it to her.Molly naturally noticed Marc's gaze, thinking that he wanted her to agree. So she took a deep breath, composed her expression, and put on a gentle smile."You can stay with Miss Becker. I can go home alone."Molly had a perfect smile, but Marc didn’t think she was really fine. The broader the smile, the sadder she felt inside.This reply from Molly left Lula dumbfounded. Should she praise Molly for being tolerant? Or was Molly deliberately putting on an act?Seeing her entangling Marc in this way, Molly could still smile and even sincerely? Marc was stunned. After hearing Molly's words, every breath felt difficult for him.Did Molly really not care about him? Could she really t

    Harriet: [Taking more photos will be too kind to them.] She replied with a light blink.Harriet already had a good idea in mind.Harriet: [Molly, help me report it to the police.]Molly responded simply with a question mark. She obviously didn’t understand Harriet's intention.Harriet: [Report it the police and say there's an improper transaction in the room where Vernon and Nora are!]Harriet wanted to make this matter big through the hands of the police and see how they would handle it!Molly paused for a moment on the other side of the phone, then immediately replied.Molly: [No problem!]Although Harriet's methods were ruthless, Vernon and Nora deserved it!Putting down her phone, Harriet sat up straight, waiting for Delbert to come out of the bathroom.To her surprise, the next second, there was a sudden "howl" at the door.In an instant, a large, snow-white creature rushed into the room with great excitement.

    "No, I don't."Delbert smiled, his deep and beautiful eyes slightly squinting like a fox, concealing his desire.Harriet had indeed grown up. Every frown and smile of hers was excessively attractive."I’m sleepy. I want to sleep. Goodnight, Delbert!"Delbert wanted to say something more, but Harriet had already rushed ahead like a little rabbit, darting into the covers and burying her head securely inside.Delbert shook his head with a smile, feeling that Harriet was too adorable!After that, Delbert turned off the light.Harriet thought that the day would end just like this, especially after so many things had happened today and everyone was very tired. But unexpectedly, as soon as Delbert got into bed, he directly embraced her thin waist, then suddenly pressed close to her. His hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel uneasy and out of sorts.By the faint moonlight streaming in from outside the window, Harriet could clearly see the gleaming light in Delbert's eyes.

We need both of you to go with us to the police station for investigation."The police inspected the entire room and woke up Vernon, who was still in a daze.He was completely bewildered. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by a group of police officers.Vernon still remembered encountering the frenzied Nora at Holy Night last night.She wouldn’t let him go, and then his consciousness became hazy.When he woke up, he was already in the hotel room, and the police had arrived.Looking at the purple and blue marks on himself and Nora, Vernon rounded his eyes in shock to the extreme.Did they?Did he and Nora both lose control of themselves and have sex last night?No, no, it was impossible!"Get dressed and come with us!"The
