Chapter: 1416

".. I will tell you everything. I work as a male model in a bar. A woman offered me five hundred thousand. She invited me to this party and instructed me to spend a passionate night with you. I swear what I'm saying is true."

Norah thought that the woman who approached him was either Elsa or Mindy.

She compressed her lips and glanced around the room. Spotting a rope among the sex toys near the head of the bed, she used it to bind the man and stuffed a towel she fetched from the bathroom into his mouth.

"When you are found, you can leave."

The man shook uncontrollably. He couldn't believe that, as a man, he couldn't overpower a woman. He had tried to resist, but she was far too strong for him to escape.

Norah paused at the door to listen, but it sounded like there was no guard outside the room.

After all, a drugged woman would be too weak to fight back. There was no need for them to stand guard.

Suddenly, she lifted her gaze to the security camera, which she had smashed just after awakening. She smiled, knowing now where to find Mindy.

In the surveillance room, Mindy and Elsa stood with their arms crossed, asking the security guard to pull up the room's surveillance video.

“Mrs. Wilson, Miss Wilson, the surveillance camera appears to be broken."

The security guard was stunned to see the blank screen. It had been functioning when he checked it earlier that morning.

Mindy scowled and said, "Didn't you notice that before? Never mind. I'll check it myself."

To avoid drawing attention at the room's door, she had intentionally come to the surveillance room and now needed to return.

Elsa grabbed her hand and said, “Mom, she's too weak to resist. We can just direct guests to the room later."

Mindy glanced at the time displayed on the screen and noted it was almost time for the banquet to start. She instructed the security guard in the monitoring room, “Have the camera fixed tomorrow. Until then, be vigilant and ensure no unauthorized individuals gain entry."

"Understood."

Mindy and Elsa, relaxed and unsuspecting, walked hand in hand down the corridor toward the banquet hall. They both believed that Norah was having intimate moments with the man they had arranged for her right now.

They harbored the malicious belief that the most damaging way to harm a woman was to tarnish her reputation.

Thus, when they encountered Norah, looking composed and her dress perfectly intact, their shock left them momentarily breathless.

How could this be? Why was Norah here?

Noran remained poised and well-groomed, though her hair was slightly disheveled. Otherwise, her appearance was unchanged.

Her calm gaze met theirs, clearly unamused.

Elsa, struggling to maintain composure, stammered, “Norah, why are you here? Weren't you drunk?"

“Actually, when I woke up, there was a man in my room. I was so scared that I ran out immediately," Norah replied, still composed enough to maintain her act.
