Chapter 65

“Mom, what am I going to do? They definitely got my face on camera Tina said, her VOICE LISH panic and anger. “I might as well just throw myself in the river.

Laura looked at her disappointing daughter and felt a headache coming on

But Tina was her only daughter.

If only her body had cooperated, Samuel wouldn’t treat her this way.

Withi

If she’d given him a son, Samuel’s entire company would belong to her boy. But no, she’d had a daughter instead.

“Stop panicking,” Laura snapped. “I told you to stay calm. How did Daniel end up with your room key?”

Laura had arranged everything carefully. The server was supposed to slip something into Klein’s drink. and then Tina would watch as the server helped Klein to the room.

But it turned into Tina waiting alone in the room, and a married man walking in with the key card.

Tina didn’t know either. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help escort Klein upstairs. She just couldn’t tell Laura about how Klein had treated her with disgust before.

Even in front of Laura she refused to admit that she’d lost to Whitney.

“Mom, I was worried he’d get suspicious, so I went up first to wait for him,” Tina explained. “But then Dániel came in and pushed me onto the bed right away. The lights were off, and I thought it was him.”

That part was true. Tina had actually thought that even the most restrained, cold men became desperate when drugged.

She’d even imagined Whitney’s face when she found out, and the thought had excited her.

But then the lights came on, and Tina’s fantasy shattered.

Laura listened to Tina’s explanation, and the frustration in her chest only grew worse.

“Alright, did you take anything?” she asked sharply.

Laura’s eyes narrowed, and her gaze turned cold. “Please tell me you at least took the morning–after pill.”

Tina froze. “I-”

Laura felt a headache coming on. “I’ll have someone pick it up and bring it here. You need to take it immediately.”

‘Her reputation’s already destroyed, but we can’t let her end up pregnant too,‘ she thought grimly. That would ruin her completely.

“Okay.” Tina said, her voice thick with tears. “Mom, what about the paparazzi?”

“I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry about any of that anymore,” Laura said firmly. “This whole thing? It

As for Daniel, if Tina wouldn’t talk, he wouldn’t dare run his mouth either.

But this whole situation felt off to Laura. ‘Someone set her up, she thought, her mind already work through the possibilities. This wasn’t just bad luck.

At noon, Whitney headed down for lunch and spotted that familiar figure from way down the hall. Her face darkened.

“Whitney, I’m telling you this restaurant is pretty good, and they’ve got a fifty percent off opening special going on,” Valerie said.

Whitney cut her off. “Valerie, go in and grab us a table. I’ll get some water and be right there. What do you guys want to drink?”

Whitney turned away without waiting for a response and walked in the opposite direction.

Carter watched her retreating figure, and a wave of confusion washed over him.

He looked down at the dress in his hands and tossed it into the nearest trash can without expression. She doesn’t want it anymore,‘ he thought. “There’s no point in keeping it.
