Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 35

Sam's action was too abrupt. 

A silence fell over everyone as a result. 

"Cough, Mr. Garrison, that's Lillianna's younger sister, Lacey, not Lillianna—" Evie couldn't help but whisper, reminding him not to mistake Lillianna for someone else. 

Sam froze. He stared into Lacey's hazy eyes, then loosened his grip on her wrist. 

"Well, Lacey was clearly not a drinker when she showed up for my engagement ceremony. Sam stopped her from drinking anymore because he was worried about her health. Besides, she'd just suffered from motion sickness." Lillianna tried to explain. 

Still, she scowled and tried to read Sam's expression. 

What had just happened to him? 

Lacey's balance was broken by his sudden release, and she almost fell over. Luckily, Theo was quick to hold her.

"No, it's fine. I'm still able to drink." Lacey waved her hand, then hiccupped. She frowned, for her stomach didn't feel good. 

"Let's call it a day." Theo was displeased. "Why did she get picked three times in a row? It's no different than cheating."

"You can't say that, Mr. Henderson. She could have refused to play if she didn't want to! The way you're defending her makes it look like we're bullying her!" Heidi Martin, a fledgling female superstar, sneered.

"That's right! Mr. Henderson, you can't be so biased!" Evie chimed in. She then looked at Lacey and said, "It appears you can't drink anymore, so why not answer some questions!"

Lacey rubbed between her brows. She grinned as she looked at Evie, saying, "I don't think I can drink anymore. Ask away—" 

She collapsed into a seat immediately after.

Evie got excited and jumped up. "Don't mind if I do! Who did you give your virginity to?"

The crowd was taken aback by the question. 

Sam turned to Lacey unconsciously. 

At this point, his dark eyes seemed bottomless. 

Why had he grabbed her and stopped her from drinking? 

Was it because her drunken appearance reminded him of that night? 

The night she was as obedient as a kitten.

D*mn it!

He must be out of his mind!

"What kind of question is that? How can you ask such a personal matter?" Theo frowned. His tone was grim and cold. 

Suddenly, Lacey giggled. She squinted her eyes and looked around the crowd. "My virginity, you ask?" 

"That's right. Rumors are stating that you're open to sex. So, to whom did you give up your virginity? Was it your teacher, a classmate, or a random street beggar?" Evie continued sarcastically. 

"Enough!" Theo was enraged. "Lacey, let's go!" 

He was about to help her up. 

"It hurts—" Lacey frowned. Her face overcame with grief. "It hurts a lot that night." 

"Lacey, stop talking. I'll take you back to your room." Theo tried to pick her up forcibly. 

Lacey, however, remained rooted to the stool and refused to move. She frowned as she gripped Theo's hand. "My first time wasn't at all pleasant." 

Laughter erupted from the crowd. 

"Yes, I understand!" Theo felt somewhat suffocated. However, he could't lose his temper when he saw the loss on her face and the clarity in her eyes.

"Stop saying things that aren't relevant. To whom did you give your virginity?" Evie had become dissatisfied. Why did they keep turning the conversation around? 

"My virginity?" Lacey frowned, seemingly trying to recall some memory. 

"All right, stop it. Lacey is not feeling well. I'll take her back to her room." Lillianna rose to her feet.

Lacey seemed to have drunk too much. Lillianna was worried that she might reveal the truth. 

"What a good sister you are. You defended her right away." Evie giggled and decided not to bother Lacey anymore. 

After all, she and Lillianna were close friends. She should, at the very least, respect her. 

"Lacey, I'll take you back to your room," Lillianna said as she had to pull Lacey up.

"I sold it!" Of a sudden, Lacey pointed her finger at the sky. " I sold it for two hundred thousand dollars!" 

What she said took everyone by storm.

No one had anticipated her to say such a thing. 

"Lacey!" Lillianna was horrified. "You're drunk. Stop talking nonsense!" 

"You sold your virginity for two hundred thousand dollars?" Evie asked in shock. 

Everyone pricked up their ears. Though it was known that Lacey was sexually open, they hadn't expected her to sell her virginity. 

"That's right! I made a two-hundred-thousand-dollar profit on it!" Lacey giggled. "What an easy money—"

She grinned. A few strands of her silky hair blew onto her scarlet face. She looked even more mesmerizing due to the alcohol.

After learning that Lacey had sold her virginity for money, everyone now despised her even more.

Indeed, Lacey was nothing more than a country bumpkin who had seen very little of the world.

"How could a girl sell her virginity for money to someone she didn't like? How can you have no self-respect?" Evie lifted a disdainful look. 

Meanwhile, the men raised their brows and remained silent. 

"What kind of self-respect was she capable of? If she had any dignity, her name would not have gotten so awful online in the first place." Heidi giggled. 

"Dignity?" Lacey's eyes were half-closed. Suddenly, she broke out laughing as if she'd gone insane. "Is dignity worth anything?" 

Then, as if thought of something, aggravation was written all over her face. She bit her lower lip and trembled as she said, "Without money, gastric cancer can't be cured, and the hospital won't help us. Money is really important—"

The crowd was startled once again.
