Chapter 314: Chapter 314
Since that’s the case, she’ll give Skylar Hughes this chance and see what exactly Skylar... or Henry Hale intends to do.
After drinking, Paige seemed a bit dizzy and went upstairs. Before long, Skylar saw a man escort her into the changing room.
Skylar displayed a triumphant smile.
The drink was spiked with a potent drug; Paige surely won’t be able to resist.
And the man had already gotten her hint. He certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity slip today.
By then, all she had to do was bring people to catch them in the act.
Imagine Julian Hawthorne witnessing that scene; he’d undoubtedly be shocked and instantly regret choosing such a promiscuous and shameless woman as Paige!
After pondering for a while, Skylar thought the timing was right and started searching herself, as if looking for something.
Henry Hale asked, "What’s the matter?"
Skylar anxiously replied, "The necklace you gave me is missing. Let me find it..."
Henry casually said, "If it’s gone, so be it."
Skylar said, "How could that be? It was a gift from you. Now that it’s lost, how can I feel at ease? I must find it."
Seeing Skylar’s determination, Henry’s eyes flickered, "Alright, I’ll get the staff over to help look for it."
A few staff members joined Skylar in a high-profile search for the necklace, and soon everyone knew someone lost a necklace.
The search, of course, came up empty.
Skylar continued, "I went to the changing room earlier; maybe it dropped there. Shall we check the changing room again?"
Henry agreed with a nod but didn’t follow her.
Skylar felt a bit disappointed, but since several other socialites were also heading to the changing room, it suited Skylar just fine, and she didn’t insist on dragging Henry along. Thıs content belongs to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
As long as someone saw it, word would inevitably spread, and Paige would truly be done for.
Thinking of that scene made Skylar laugh inside with glee.
Once in the changing room, a staff member knocked on the door first.
No one responded, so the staff assumed no one was inside and opened the door.
Several small changing cubicles were inside. As the door opened, an ambiguous sound came from one of the cubicles.
The staff exchanged awkward glances, feeling embarrassed and wanting to leave.
Skylar, however, looked shocked, "Oh my god, Paige! That’s Paige’s voice!"
She stepped to the cubicle door, "This is a hotel changing room. People come and go. How could you do such a thing here, Paige?"
Everyone else, "...?"
How did Skylar identify it as Paige’s voice?
And why was she acting as if Paige did something scandalous?
They, in any case, didn’t see anything.
After shouting, Skylar seemed to realize that so many others were present.
She immediately said, "Everything that happened today is just an accident. You must not spread this. Understand? If my sister’s reputation suffers in the slightest, I will not spare any of you!"
The crowd, "...", is your acting a bit too poor?
However, the name Paige indeed carried weight, and no one wanted to leave now.
Listening to the ambiguous sounds inside, everyone was dying of curiosity. Could Paige really be inside?
"Maybe it’s a misunderstanding? Why don’t we take a look first?"
Logically, if they were so loud outside, why were there still sounds of moaning inside?
Skylar thought for a moment, "Right, maybe I heard wrong. Maybe it’s not Paige..."
With everything going as designed, Skylar held back her excitement, stepped forward, and pushed the door open, "Paige, don’t be afraid, I..."
But the remaining words stuck in her throat.
Because no one was inside, yet the ambiguous sounds continued...
Someone walked inside and discovered a phone playing an adult film inside.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Skylar couldn’t believe it. She had arranged everything; Paige should have been there indulging with someone. How could this be?
Devastated, Skylar rushed to open the doors of the other cubicles but still found no trace of Paige.
Seeing Skylar’s frantic state and recalling her inexplicable quest for the necklace, followed by her shouting Paige’s name, everyone now looked at her with peculiar eyes.
This woman’s reputation was already tarnished. Could this be another of her schemes to frame God Sterling?
Feeling the eyes around her, Skylar’s heart chilled.
At that moment, a voice came from the main entrance.
"I think I heard someone calling my name earlier. Is something wrong?"
Everyone turned to see Paige, standing curiously at the entrance.
A lady immediately said, "Nothing, nothing, just that some noises were heard in the changing room earlier. Miss Hughes insisted it was Miss Sterling. I said, how could it possibly be Miss Sterling..."
A few simple words conveyed the whole story to Paige, who, not being dense, easily understood.
Paige then gave Skylar a half-smile, "Oh? Miss Hughes, why are you so sure I was inside the changing room?"
Skylar howled inside, because she had witnessed it!
She didn’t understand. She had watched Paige drink and go upstairs with the man to the changing room, so why was Paige now unharmed?
Could Paige have seen through her plot from the start?
If that were true, Paige was extremely malicious to turn the tables on her!
Although her mind was a whirlwind, Skylar quickly regained composure.
"Paige, are you really alright? If something happened, don’t conceal it out of concern. This is when you should let everyone know and stand up for yourself."
Even at such a moment, she couldn’t resist dragging Paige into it.
And as she spoke, her eyes scanned the changing room for a hidden person.
That man must be hidden by Paige somewhere; she couldn’t let Paige get away with this.
"You really are...", Paige paused her words, "utterly shameless."
Skylar instead looked wounded, "Paige, I’m just worried about you, afraid you’ll suffer. If you don’t appreciate it, fine, but why speak to me this way?"
As she spoke, tears rolled down, "I know I don’t have the right to care about you now, nor do you need my concern. I can’t even afford to provoke you. I’ve already tried to avoid conflicts with you, just wanting to live my life well. Can’t you stop disrupting my life?"
Paige’s mouth twitched. Weren’t you the one who rushed over frantically, big sis?
How did it become her disturbing your peaceful life?
Truly, calling Skylar shameless was an understatement.
