In the hall, Benjamin dismissed the other unrelated guests, afraid that the scandal of his wife cheating would escalate further.
But before those guests could even leave, videos of today’s incident were spreading like wildfire online.
#Benjamin’s wife Sophia cheats with an underclass man#
#Shakti passionately plays at the banquet, and the man isn’t Benjamin#
Looking at these glaring Trending Topics.
Benjamin’s face turned as dark as if it could drip ink.
Victoria was so angry she had a heart attack and fainted on the spot.
In the corner, my father held my hand, so anxious that his lips were trembling.
“Emily, what on earth is going on with Alexander? Do you know anything about it?”
“This matter of theirs… does it have anything to do with you?”
I gently squeezed Dad’s hand and comforted him: “Dad, I don’t know what’s going on between him and Shakti either… I just happened to pass by and found out, and Shakti threatened me not to let anyone else in.”
“As for Alexander…”
Mid–sentence, my tears fell onto the back of Dad’s hand.

Dad already understood what I meant. He smoothed my messy hair and gave my hand a firm squeeze.
“Don’t be afraid, Emily. Dad will help you solve this. I won’t let your reputation be affected by Alexander.”
“It’s all my fault for misjudging him, making you suffer.”
Hearing this, I bit my lip and shook my head.
It’s not Dad’s fault, nor is it mine.
All of this is because of Alexander and Shakti.
my soul
In my previous life, I died with my eyes wide open. After death, lingered beside Alexander, seeing how my parents turned gray overnight because of my passing.
Then I witnessed Shakti and Alexander brutally kill my parents to embezzle the Reynolds family’s property.
God knows, and gave me a chance to start over.
No matter what it takes, I will never let these two get away.
“Where’s the surveillance footage? Are the surveillance room staff dead?! What are they even paid for?!”
Robert Wilson lowered his head, not daring to breathe.
The surveillance room happened to malfunction today, and the crucial footage wouldn’t show up.
Everyone else waited for the surveillance results.
Only Shakti secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there were no surveillance cameras, no one could discover she had drugged Alexander’s drink.
Just then, a servant from the Hayes family suddenly spoke up:
“Benjamin, I saw Emily take a glass of wine from my hand and give it to Alexander.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone’s eyes instantly focused on me.
If it were true, that Emily had drugged her boyfriend at the party, causing Benjamin’s wife to be assaulted by her boyfriend, and cuckolding Benjamin.
Probably, the Reynolds family could no longer survive in the exclusive society from then on.
Benjamin’s gaze was so cold it could freeze a person to ice; he stared straight at me, as if waiting for me to step forward and explain myself.
Before I could speak, Shakti suddenly burst into tears.
“Emily! How could you be so foolish! Alexander’s career is just taking off, you’re ruining him!”
