Chapter: 1442

Both were naked, with the man's strong frame shielding the woman's delicate form. They were pressed together, still in the act when the light came on.

It wasn't until the woman's scream pierced the air that they scrambled to grab the sheets and cover up.

Derek shouted, “Who are you?"

He was on the brink of climax when the sudden crowd completely shocked him.

Marlene, now more sober, took in the scene with a sense of smugness.

She knew with so many witnesses, Sean couldn't deny what happened. He would have to marry her.

But her smile faded when she realized the man beside her was Derek.

“Why is it you?"

Marlene had sent a note with the waiter, requesting an urgent and important discussion with Sean.

To maintain an air of mystery, she had kept the room in darkness.

After a while, a man entered, and before she could say a word, he rushed to her, enveloping her in a passionate embrace and showering her with kisses.

Her eyes sparkled with affection, and she was certain that Sean genuinely liked her. It was only in the presence of Norah, however, that he would put on an act of indifference.

Meanwhile, under the influence of the aphrodisiac, Derek mistook Marlene for Norah and was consumed by his intense desire.

Interrupted, they gradually began to regain their clarity and soberness.

Madeline stormed in, her eyes burning with anger. “Derek, I thought you were heading to the restroom!" she snapped. “What are you doing here? Miss Wilson, do you let everyone use you as they wish?"

She then slapped Derek hard.

“I gave you so much of my love, and this is how you repay me? You've broken my heart, Derek."

She fled the room in tears, evoking sympathy from onlookers.

Catching their partner cheating on them would be difficult for anyone to digest.

"Mr. Carter, this is your fault. You're married. How could you cheat on your wife?"

“Miss Wilson, knowing that Derek is married, you still chose to seduce him at your uncle's birthday banquet. That's quite inappropriate, don't you think?"

“No matter how desperate you are, you shouldn't have involved yourself with any man. It's utterly unacceptable."

"Hey, I have to admit, both of them have impressive figures, don't they?"

Their comments made Marlene's tears well up and stream down her cheeks immediately.
