A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 250

Amanda took a step toward him and pushed his finger away. She then turned to the steward, who stood as dumbfounded as the rest of them.

"Who is this? I thought you said the cottage hadn't started serving yet.

Who is this guy then?" Amanda questioned, again.

Her expression was a mix of disgust and fury. She couldn't help but raise her voice at the steward.

"He… he is my master's son..."

the steward stuttered answering. He could barely bring himself to speak in such an embarrassing situation. Honestly, he was at a complete loss as well.

"Hey, you. What is this? Who are these two women?"

The man yelled even louder than Amanda, just as arrogant and rude as before.

"Sir… Sir, she is the daughter of master's friends," the steward replied, pointing at Amanda. "Last night, her friend, this young lady, slept in this room."

The steward was so terrified that he was trembling.

Dead silence followed his answer. Ivy was stupefied, having found who the man was.

'This man is the son of the owner of this place?

He thought I was a prostitute?

Oh my goodness How did I get involved in this complicated matter?' Ivy thought, her heart still beating fast.

"Can you please leave the room first? We can talk once Miss Luo is dressed," Amanda toned down and requested the man.

She was the first person to recover from the shock and confusions of the situation, and to break the awkward silence. Before he could go out, she thought it was sensible to already warn them.

"I don't want this to go out of this room. If any of you try to mention this to anyone, I swear I will make you pay for it!"

Amanda gritted her teeth as she spoke, her lips twisted in anger. The man sneered at her before he exited, slamming the door behind him. Amanda and Ivy remained in the room.

Just as the door closed, Ivy slumped onto the floor. The force with which she was supporting herself in front of that stranger vanished right after he left. All life drained out of her eyes. She looked absolutely disconsolate and broken.

"What happened? All I remember is I was with Lionel last night. Where did this man come from?"

Ivy mumbled to herself, unable to accept what the circumstances were telling her.

"Ivy, stop panicking. First, put your clothes on. This place is under CCTV surveillance. I can ask the steward to check the recordings of the corridor from last night. We'll find out what happened, soon.

Please, try to keep calm. Anxiety will do you no good."

Amanda kept trying to console her, picking up her clothes from the floor and handing them to her.

"I will wait for you outside. Take your time to get dressed. The surveillance system is located in the last room on the first floor. I am going to go and take a look at the recordings."

Pressing her hand, she reassured her and walked away, leaving Ivy alone in the room.

Ivy sat clueless for a while. Slowly, then, she started to pick up on the missing pieces in her memory. She dug deep into her brain, recalling the last moments she remembered being with Lionel last night.

They had been drinking and gotten immensely inebriated. The sex after drinking felt surreal. She fell asleep right after they finished. This was all she could recall. It was as if she had suffered from a temporary memory loss.
