Even though the whole situation was a complete mess, and he was not sure what had happened, he still managed to notice that something was amiss.
Shanae’s expression froze when she heard what he said.
“Devin, a-are you saying that I’m lying? J-Just look at the bed if you don’t believe me,” she said as she pointed at the bed.
Her eyes were brimmed with tears as though she was humiliated by Devin’s words.
Devin was stunned.
He quickly lifted the covers, and the blood drained off his face when he saw what was under it.
“Do you see it now? You listen to me, Devin Jadeson. I’m no slut. I’m a Woods, and the Woodses live with integrity. That’s our rule. I’ll never joke around with my reputation!”
She sounded sincere, especially when she swore on the Woodses.
Jonathan’s expression turned grim once again when he heard her words.
“Don’t worry. If this brat has really done something to you, the Jadesons—”
“Ms. Woods, I had no idea that the Woodses had something like that. Then, why did I hear that you went around flirting with other men as the Jadesons’ fiancée?”
Just when Jonathan was about to give his word on behalf of the Jadesons, Sebastian who had been keeping to himself stepped in.
He stood by the door with his hands in the pockets of his casual, dark-colored pants. Like a bystander, he seemed unbothered.
Yet, there was tension in the air as soon as he spoke.
It even felt as though the temperature in the room had dropped.
Shanae blanched as she argued, “Y-You’re lying. Those are just a bunch of nasty rumors. Where did you even hear it from?”
Sebastian stared at her coldly, and with his overwhelming presence, he said, “My wife.”
His wife? As in… Sasha Wand?
Shanae’s heart did a somersault. She was bereft of speech.
Jonathan finally sensed that something was off. He quickly came over and said, “Sebastian, what’s going on?”
Sebastian withdrew his gaze and answered, “Nothing. Let’s just verify the whole thing first. Devin’s a soldier, so someone must have done something to knock him out. Plus, there are so many women in this hotel. Yet, what a coincidence that she was the one to get caught in this.”
