Upon hearing the words, the curious Jose wanted to see for himself what happened.
No sooner had he reached the door than he saw Harold walking out with his clothes in a mess. After shooting Jose a glare, Harold locked the door from the inside.
Consequently, Jose, too, trembled in fear when he saw the look in Harold's eyes.
It wasn't until half a minute had passed did Jose shake off the terror he felt. Surprised that he was petrified by a single glance from Harold, he vowed through gritted teeth, “How dare you challenge me? I'm going to bring Mr. McGowan here and watch him teach you a lesson!”
With that, he headed straight to the banquet hall.
As for Harold, he returned to his room and tucked Marilyn in properly.
In the midst of doing so, he caught a glimpse of the striking red stain on the bed and assumed it belonged to her.
When it dawned on him that he had slept with his wife's best friend, Harold suddenly realized the deep trouble he was in.
If Isabella finds out that I slept with her best friend, she'll never forgive me. However, I seem to recall knocking Marilyn out before I lost my presence of mind.
While Harold was still mired in confusion, Marilyn gradually regained consciousness.
“Ah!”
Sensing something amiss with her body, Marilyn curiously lifted the sheets to take a look.
Underneath it, she was stark naked, and the sight of the bloodstain caused her to scream in fright.
Upon recalling what had happened earlier, how she had felt a strange sensation in her body after soaking in the tub for a while, a grim expression descended upon her face.
“Harold, you despicable jerk, how dare you drug me! You...” the furious Marilyn roared as she pointed her finger at him.
At that moment, she was filled with regret at her decision to test Harold's mental fortitude.
Damn it! The act has now become a fact, and I've lost my virginity just like that!
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt.
More importantly, what am I going to do when Isabella finds out?
“Ms. Schmidt, listen to me. Both of us have been set up! Just wait here for a moment; I'll definitely make things right by you,” Harold frantically explained when he heard Marilyn accusing him of drugging her.
“Harold, you b*stard! Why don't you dare admit what you have done? How are you going to take responsibility? Are you going to divorce Isabella to marry me? Or are you going to turn back time?”
Harold's refusal to admit the fact fanned the flames of Marilyn's rage.
“Um... I just told you that I was set up, too. Give me half an hour, and I'll prove it to you!”
With that, Harold went off in search of Jose, for he was certain the latter was behind this.
“Harold, you b*stard. Come back here!” Marilyn yelled from the bed, thinking that Harold was looking for an excuse to slip away.
Nevertheless, he ignored her as he headed straight to the banquet hall to hold Jose accountable.
At that moment, the latter had already returned to the banquet hall, which was in the middle of the awards ceremony.
“Dad, something bad has happened! Marilyn has been caught by reporters fooling around in her room!” Jose yelled loudly to his father, hoping to capture Craig's attention.
At that moment, Laszlo was in the midst of entertaining Craig, Philip, and other guests when Jose's words captured the attention of everyone nearby.
