But he became even more wicked…
She looked so beautiful at this moment, he just wanted to look at her a little longer.
“Lottie, is that you in there?” Kathy called again from outside.
Still, there was no response.
Kathy waited for half a minute, assumed no one was inside, and turned to leave.
“Gregory, you jerk, put me down…
She thought he would finish soon.
But it had already been almost an hour.

She was truly on the verge of collapse, her whole body nearly falling
apart.

Banquet hall.
Gordon looked anxious. “Still haven’t found Lottie?”
“No, she was fine just now, but now I have no idea where she went! I called her but she won’t answer, it’s driving me crazy!”
“Could she have left on her own?”

“…Maybe!”
The banquet had officially begun.
Kieran sat at the head table, glancing at the empty seat beside him. He looked around. “Where did Greg go?”
“Mr. Bradford was just here, but now I don’t know where he went.”
“Call him right away.”
“Oh, okay…”
The butler was just about to call Gregory.
But then Gregory strolled over unhurriedly. His crisp suit was noticeably wrinkled, and his usually immaculate hair was a bit messy.
“Greg, where did you go? Why are you only coming now?”
A hint of an apologetic smile appeared on Gregory’s strikingly handsome face. “Sorry to keep everyone waiting.
“Well then, let’s begin the banquet!”
་་
Gregory chatted and laughed as if nothing had happened at all.
“Hey, Greg, what happened to your neck? Why is the skin broken?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, probably just a mosquito bite!” Gregory instinctively tugged at his shirt collar.
That troublesome little girl.
When she lost control, she was like a wild kitten, scratching and biting him, leaving several bloody marks on his body.

Meanwhile, in the restroom.
Charlotte sat on the toilet for a long time, still unable to recover.
Her whole body felt weak to the extreme, making it impossible to go out
and face anyone.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Her phone rang again.
Her mother was calling her again.
She didn’t dare answer, afraid of giving herself away, so she sent a text message instead: “Mom, I have something urgent to deal with, I left first.”
Kathy received the text and finally felt a bit relieved.
As long as her daughter was safe, that was all that mattered.
The banquet lasted until after two in the afternoon.
It wasn’t until the banquet was over and most of the guests had left that Charlotte finally recovered.
She hurriedly straightened her clothes and messy hair, and slipped out of the restroom like a thief.
By the time she got home.
Her parents were already home. When they saw her return, they looked at her with concern. “Lottie, where did you go just now?”
Charlotte’s eyes flickered as she forced herself to stay calm and headed upstairs to her room. “Nowhere, a classmate had an emergency and needed my help. It was urgent, so I left without saying anything!”

“Oh, did you get it sorted out?”
“It’s all taken care of, Mom. I’m really tired now, I want to go rest in my room for a bit.”
She forced herself to keep up appearances, afraid her parents would notice anything, and hurried back to her room.
Once she was back in her room.
She collapsed exhausted onto her bed. She wanted to take a shower, but she didn’t have the strength.
She was even more afraid of letting her family know that she had actually slept with Gregory.
A little later.

She still filled the tub with warm water and soaked herself in it completely.
His mind kept replaying the scene in the bathroom over and over again!
“How could this happen?”
It felt…
So strange.

When she was married to Timothy in her previous life, she had never felt this way.
