Amelia at first didn’t understand what Rufus was talking about, but meeting his weirdly red eyes, she suddenly understood that he must be drugged!
The exact purpose of whoever did this was to frame her!
Amelia thought a lot in her head at this point. Even though she was not that smart, she knew instantly that she can’t let Rufus and she fall into this trap.
Amelia then slapped hard on Rufus’ face.
“Rufus, calm down!”
Amelia’s heavy slap gave Rufus a brief moment of consciousness, but after he was sober, he was even more disgusted by Amelia. He stood up and flung her aside angrily. “What the fuck? Isn’t this what you want?”
“Amelia, you are the one who drugged me and went to my room yourself. Why are you pretending to be innocent then? Aren’t you disgusted by yourself?”
“I didn’t do that!”
Amelia shook her head violently, “Rufus, we are schemed! You must feel terrible right now. I will get you to the hospital right away!”
While saying this, Amelia hurriedly grabbed her phone and wanted to call 911.
It suddenly occurred to her that her phone was dead.
She knew that if man didn’t release his sexual desire after being drugged, the consequence could be a pretty serious one. But there was no way that she would sleep with Rufus, so she had to get him to the hospital.
At first, Amelia wanted to use Rufus’ phone to call the emergency number, but seeing that his eyes were getting increasingly redder, she changed her mind.
She had to get out of this room first!
Since someone thought about drugging Rufus, he/she sure would bust them. If she and Rufus really stepped that line, nobody would ever believe her words.
Thinking about this, Amelia tried to get up from the floor and race to the door.
But Rufus immediately dragged her back.
“Playing hard-to-get, huh?”
Rufus sneered at her, “What a cheap shot!”
Amelia then was pounded against the wooden floor heavily like she was just a bag.
Before she even got the time to recover, Rufus approached her again.
This time Amelia felt like she was extremely painful like she was about to be broken apart. She can’t even lift her fingers and felt like everything was spinning.
“Lawrence, something is wrong!”
Seeing that Lawrence had just hung up the phone, Lillian hurriedly walked to him and acted anxious.
“What happened?” Putting down his phone, Lawrence asked absent-mindedly.
“Amelia... Amelia...”
“What?”
Lawrence’s face immediately changed. His once indifferent look was obviously panicking now. Sensing Lawrence’s worry, Lillian was both furious and jealous. But thinking about what would happen next, she put on her clam look.
“I just heard that Amelia went to Mr. Moss’ room upstairs and is sleeping with...”
Noticing that Lawrence was bleeding, Amelia was actually heartbroken.
She subconsciously wanted to reach out her hand and wipe away those blood, but thinking that he abandoned Leigh for Lillian, she just smiled self-deprecatingly.
Noticing Amelia’s smile, Lawrence froze immediately.
How dared she to laugh?
She was indignant when he hit Rufus, but was she smiling when he was hurt?
Did she really love Rufus this much?
Lawrence was haunted by this thought and was almost insane. He was even more furious when he saw Amelia’s messy look and broken shirt.
He didn’t have the heart to wrangle Amelia’s neck, so he could only beat this man to death!
Lawrence was beyond angry and clenched his fist hard. Before Amelia can even realize it, he had already hit Rufus on the face.
But Rufus didn’t show any weakness and also started pounding Lawrence violently.
Clenching her teeth secretly, Lillian thought that maybe she was being too impatient. She should have led Lawrence here after Amelia and Rufus had broken that line. Nonetheless, she still got ways to sabotage Amelia forever.
She immediately stepped forward and acted like she was worried. Hugging Lawrence’s arms, Lillian said, “Lawrence and Mr. Moss, you two have to stop fighting! There got to be some mistakes here!”
Afraid that they might hurt Lillian, both Rufus and Lawrence stopped fighting.
Lillian guarded Amelia in her back and continued acting, “Mr. Moss, why are you doing this to my sister? Do you know that if me and Lawrence had come a while later, my sister would be...”
