Chapter 474 Taking Care Of The Drunk Woman
Amelia did not want to waste any more time with Cassie, so she moved aside and left the washroom. To her surprise, although Cassie was drunk, she was exceptionally strong. Like a beast, she pounced on Amelia and slammed her against the wall.
Amelia groaned in pain. Ugh, that is going to leave a bruise.
She gazed at Cassie, who was pressing against her. After being drunk, she became like an unreasonable madwoman. How unlucky of me to have met her today!
“Let go of me, Cassie!” ordered Amelia through gritted teeth.
Cassie raised her head and looked at Amelia drunkenly. She stroked Amelia’s cheeks and asked in a puzzled tone, “Amelia, when I look at you closely, you look quite similar to me. So why does Oscar prefer you over me? I don’t think that I’m inferior to you in any way. Why doesn’t he want me?”
Amelia turned her head to the side, avoiding Cassie’s breath, which stank of alcohol.
“You’re drunk. I’ll ask someone to send you back. Let’s talk after you sober up. You should have a good sleep. You won’t remember any of this after you wake up,” coaxed Amelia gently, not wanting to provoke someone who was drunk.
Cassie glared at Amelia, her eyes burning with rage. She raised her hand and tried to scratch Amelia’s face, but Amelia quickly dodged it. She grabbed Cassie’s hand and said solemnly, “Cassie, stop being so unreasonable!”
Cassie flung Amelia’s hand away and slapped her.
Amelia was stunned by that slap. She never knew that a drunk person could be so strong. Didn’t people say that drunk people are weak?
Cassie stared at Amelia through blurry eyes. She laughed in delight and said, “Amelia, I’ve finally slapped you. I’ve been yearning to slap you for two whole years. You sl*t! It’s all because of you that I am who I am today! I can’t have children, and the man I love also doesn’t want me anymore. Even the orchestra fired me! You’ve ruined my bright future, and I can only drown my sorrows in alcohol. Look at me! Do I still look human to you?”
Amelia regarded Cassie coldly. Is she pretending to be drunk?
Looking at the state that Cassie was in, Amelia did not feel any pity for her. After all, there must be a reason for her miserable state now. Although Cassie looked quite pitiful, she had brought it on herself. She had been pestering Oscar, dooming their relationship to failure. Amelia, despite being his official partner, did not even hold Cassie accountable. It was ridiculous for Cassie to blame everything on her.
They were both women—she did not understand why a fellow woman would want to make things difficult for her.
“Listen up, Cassie. I have never done you wrong. I am Oscar’s official wife. Even though it was a contract marriage, we are still officially registered as a married couple. Now that you have decided to return, you’re intervening in our marriage. Because of you, our marriage was on the rocks. You have harmed me as well, so you should be apologizing to me,” stated Amelia sternly.
Since Cassie was drunk, her mind was muddled. Her body swayed as she tried to say something, but she collapsed on Amelia instead.
Everything happened so suddenly that Amelia did not know how to react. They were still arguing earlier, but Cassie fell asleep on her in the next second.
Oscar’s voice sounded outside the washroom. Heaving a sigh of relief, Amelia yelled, “Oscar, come in! There’s no one else here.”
As he entered and saw someone leaning against her, he stretched out his hand to lift the person away. However, when he spotted the red marks on Amelia’s face, his expression turned grim.
“What happened to your face?”
Amelia shook her head, wanting to avoid that question. “I’m fine, Oscar. Take her away from me. She’s a bit heavy, and I feel like she’s crushing me.”
Oscar took the person away obediently. When he took a closer glimpse at the person, his expression darkened even more.
“Did she hit you?” demanded Oscar.
Amelia touched her face and said, “I’m fine, Oscar. We’ll bring her out first. We know her after all. It’s not nice if we just abandon her in the washroom.”
“You really don’t mind if I carry this woman?” Oscar asked, suppressing his fury.
