Chapter 75 Vulnerable and Helpless
From the second floor, Bonnie witnessed with satisfaction as Sylvia finally drank the champagne. Knowing that Cyril was also at the event, she immediately arranged for
someone to monitor his actions.
As for herself, she quickly followed the direction Sylvia had gone. She had to make sure everything unfolded as planned since today might be her last chance to ruin Sylvia.
However, to Bonnie’s surprise, as she approached Sylvia, they both coincidentally headed towards the restroom at the same time. Caught off guard, Sylvia hesitated for a second and then dramatically collapsed to the floor.
Bonnie, unaware of the severity of the situation, thought the drug had taken effect upon seeing Sylvia on the ground. She hastily pulled out her phone and summoned the people she had arranged beforehand. But little did she know that Bruce had already turned those very people, meaning they would only take Sylvia somewhere safe and wouldn’t help Bonnie with her scheme.
“As we planned, take Sylvia upstairs and make sure to take those pictures. I want her scandalous photos to circulate throughout the entire event!” Bonnie had enlisted five strong men to capture the compromising footage, intending to disgrace Sylvia publicly.
Even if Sylvia didn’t care about the chaos, the judging looks and whispered comments from the crowd would be as sharp as daggers, wounding her reputation.
“The job will get done, but we need the payment first,” one of the men stated boldly. “This woman came with a big shot, someone we cannot afford to mess with. We’ll need to skip town immediately after the job, so you better transfer the money now. If something goes wrong, we need to get out fast.”
Eomie was annoyed at their insistence on receiving the payment first, but the thought of crossing Bruce made her apprehensive.
“I sent you a deposit before we started, and I promised the remaining million after the job’s done. If you insist on getting the money now, I’ll transfer half of what I promised.”
She hastily transferred $500,000 to them on her phone, and upon confirming the receipt, the men breathed a sigh of relief and proceeded to carry Sylvia upstairs.
To detach herself from the pending deed, Bonnie didn’t follow them. Instead, she made her way downstairs, mingling and greeting both acquaintances and strangers. Her aim was to establish an alibi by ensuring people knew what she was doing at that precise moment, thus eliminating her from any suspicion.
Chapter 75 Vulnerable and Helpines

“Miss Bonnie, your brother is upstairs. He’s asking for you,” a server approached Bonnie with a respectful demeanor, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Bonnie felt a surge of anxiety. She hadn’t told Cyril about her plan, and she knew he would be furious if he found out. “I understand,” she said, “I will follow you up.”
After excusing herself from her companion, she followed the server upstairs. But as they turned the corner on the second floor, several men suddenly rushed at her, covering her mouth and nose.
Bonnie recognized these men; they were the very ones she had instructed to take care of Sylvia. But why were they here now?
“Do you have any idea how close I came to death because of you? That man isn’t someone you can mess with. How dare you lay a hand on his woman; you’re getting what you deserve!

They dragged her, ignoring her struggle, towards the hotel room originally intended for Sylvia. Bonnie’s body shook with fear as she realized that whatever she had planned for Sylvia might now happen to her.
Despite her desperate attempts to break free, she was no match for the group of men who tossed her into the room. As Bonnie tried to escape, she heard a familiar female voice.
“Why run? Isn’t this what you prepared for me? Now that I’ve turned the tables, aren’t you happy?”
Hearing Sylvia’s voice, Bonnie was immobilized in shock. She turned to see a glamorous Sylvia sitting on a couch, two drinks before her–one touched, one untouched.
