She bit her lip, looked away, and pressed her hands against Lucian's chest, reluctantly saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong about you last night." Then, she forcefully pushed him away. This caught Lucian off guard, and he fell off the bed.Calista couldn't focus on anything else and quickly scrambled out of bed, rushing naked into the bathroom. She glanced at herself in the mirror as she passed by the vanity. She had marks all over her body, from her neck to her collarbone and abdomen. Although she could not remember a thing, she had a vague idea of what happened by looking at her bruises. It wasn't until she was lying in the bathtub, enjoying the warm water, that she began to recall the events of last night. Last night, she had met up with her roommates from university. She hadn't left the private room since entering it.Nor did she eat or drink anything from outside, so she couldn’t figure out when she was drugged. Did someone put something in her drink? What happened to

She wasn't surprised that there were hidden cameras around Luminary Lounge.But it was preposterous that Calista would take a video, where her face couldn't even be seen, as evidence. Seeing there was no substantial evidence, Lily regained her confidence."I know you resent me, Calista. But do you think you can accuse me with such doubtful proof?” She didn't feign concern to ask what had happened because it was clear from the video itself. It was true that Calista didn't have any solid evidence. She wasn't some superhero in some comic book. It was hard for her to find proof since the culprit was well-prepared.So, she pulled out the pill that Paul had given her, "Does this look familiar?" Lily retorted, "Are you going to accuse me of something again if I said it is? Most pills look alike; I took one for a cold just yesterday." "What was the pill you gave Paul last night?" "It’s just a cold pill. He said he had a headache, so I gave him one." They were at a standstill, an

Mr. Wilson was speechless. Lucian’s plan to win over his ex-wife might have been foiled. Calista was experienced and wise in her ways. Besides, she was still very wary and repulsed by Lucian. Mr. Wilson would eat his shoe if their relationship could reconcile. Calista had already entered the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor, but there was no response. She pressed it several more times, but still no reaction. Calista smirked and pressed all the other buttons, and they worked fine, indicating that only the seventh floor was closed off. She could easily guess why. Worried that she might misunderstand, Mr. Wilson quickly said, "Miss Calista, don't be mad. Mr. Northwood is on the first floor right now. He did this just because ... " To his credit, Mr. Wilson, being the manager of such a large club, knew how to handle women.Without wasting a breath, he immediately informed her of Lucian's whereabouts, fearing she'd jump to the conclusion that Lucian was in Li

Hector wasn’t even intimidated by the old coots in the meeting before, let alone a few reporters. He had a confident demeanor and always seemed to be in control of the situation, making others back down before him. Hector shielded Calista in his arms, causing the swarm of reporters to keep their distance instinctively. They dared not thrust their microphones in her face anymore. One of them asked, "Are the rumors true? Did you drug Lily Scott?" Hector lifted his hand from Calista’s shoulders to cover her mouth. He wasn’t being rough and was trying to protect her. He said casually, "You must be exceptional in order to become someone's target. Why would Calista be jealous of Miss Scott in any way that she'd take the time to plot against her?" The reporters were silent for a moment. On further thought, Lily was only superior to Calista in terms of dancing. Meanwhile, Calista was outstanding in her field, making her one of the best in the industry.She had no reason to target

Selena turned to stare at Liana, the former's voice and expression were as cold as ice."Who did you just call a common whore?"Liana was startled by her reaction."Selena …"Selena couldn't be bothered to give the woman her time of day. She called for her brother instead. There was no mercy as she said her piece right in front of the members of the Jenkin family."You should teach your wife to keep her mouth shut. We may not be a flourishing family but we have our standards. This is a family dinner. Everyone here is a Jenkin. But, what if someone overheard a woman of the Jenkin family calling someone a common whore? You would be bringing shame to the entire family."Liana was close to tears. She didn't think Selena, who had never put on airs despite having married into the affluent Northwood family, to be so sharp-tongued.If it weren't for the Northwood family, who the hell would grovel at her feet just to please her?Once her niece had Lucian at her every beck and call, Lian
