Chapter 305
The end of one’s fate…
Nelissa had been alone in the room for a long time. When she left, she accidentally saw a newspaper on the corner of the table. She paused and picked it up to read. There was a mark on the second page.
Nelissa knew that it was Zayden’s work. In the past, he had always had such a habit. He would break a mark wherever he read. Or when he saw something he was interested in, he would also get used to it. He never used chocolate.
Nelissa flipped to the second page of the newspaper, the local news section. A piece of news that occupied a large part of the article drew her attention.
[Yesterday in the early morning, the police of Haleston City captured a batch of smuggling ice poison. According to reliable clues obtained from the line, the amount of ice poison currently flowing into Haleston City is as many as up as a ton. The police has specially conducted an all-out attack on the anti-drug investigation team.]
Nelissa unconsciously gripped the newspaper tightly. She rarely paid attention to this kind of news, so she suddenly felt very uneasy. She found that she didn’t seem to understand Zayden at all.
In the past few years, she had no idea what Zayden was doing or whether he was living another unknown life. She hoped that this news was just her imagination. Zayden was not such a person.
Sigh.
Nelissa sighed deeply, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. She knew that the hotel cleaner would come in to tidy up the room later. She had to leave.
After leaving, Nelissa’s heart was heavy, and there was an unspeakable melancholy. She went into the hotel’s bathroom to wash her face and told herself not to think too much. Those who should be relieved had been relieved, and she should live a good life. Maybe in a certain year or a month, she would meet Zayden, who had found happiness.
“When the time comes, I’ll tell him that I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
Nelissa was a little sad. It wasn’t that she couldn’t let go, but she understood that she and Zayden had really become two strangers. They were finally no longer entangled in the past, and there was no possibility of becoming friends in the future.
He sighed.
Looking at her red-rimmed eyes in front of the mirror, Nelissa couldn’t help but lower her head and sniff. The sound of high heels came from outside the bathroom. She turned around and went into a single bathroom without anyone to avoid being laughed at by others.
She needed to sort out her emotions.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Have you booked the theme suite I want?” The people outside were talking, and their voices were extremely charming.
Nelissa frowned. Of course, she knew the theme of the theme suite. She had carried plates in the hotel before, and this theme suite was nothing more than a couple’s affair. It was very indecent.
She had no intention of eavesdropping, but it seemed that it was not appropriate for her to go out at the moment.
“The room card has been prepared for me. When the wine is almost used up, send his assistant away and take him to the room I opened.”
Nelissa was speechless. She didn’t expect there to be such a woman in the real world. She didn’t understand. What was the purpose of making a man drunk to get in bed? Maybe it was against the law!
“What do you know?” The woman outside suddenly lowered her voice, which scared Nelissa. She thought that she was eavesdropping, but she felt a little guilty when she heard this kind of shady behavior.
Fortunately, the people outside were obviously talking on the phone, so they did not notice that there was another person in the bathroom where there were not many people.
The woman was reprimanding him. “How many women at tonight’s party are interested in Edward? Even my boss is interested in him. If I didn’t move fast, it wouldn’t be my turn to gain benefits. Just do as I say. Don’t talk so much nonsense.”
After that, it was completely quiet. No one spoke anymore. There were only the sound of water splashing and the slight sound of tidying up.
Only when the man left did Nelissa recover from her shock. She quickly opened the door and went out. Immediately, she smelled a strong smell of wine. She frowned. She didn’t know if this was a party or a party. Were they all drinking with ulterior motives?
Nelissa was very anxious. As she walked, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Edward’s number, but no one answered. She was so anxious that she had to go down to the service front desk on the first floor and ask the hotel staff what floor the party was held on tonight.
The evening party was held on the third floor. There were three luxury banquet halls and an invitation letter from the host.
Nelissa didn’t listen carefully. She knew that they were on the third floor, so she immediately pressed the elevator button. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the relevant people, asking her to show an invitation.
Nelissa didn’t have an invitation. She stretched out her neck and looked into the banquet hall, hoping to see Edward. Unfortunately, she was disappointed. The banquet hall was bigger than she had imagined. She couldn’t see where Edward was. Instead, she saw a person she didn’t want to see: Susan.
Tonight, Susan was not as pure as she used to be. She was dressed in bright and sexy clothes. Her amazing beauty was the focus of attention. Nelissa noticed it at a glance. Coincidentally, Susan also looked in her direction at the door. Nelissa immediately hid aside. Her heartbeat was fast and urgent. She didn’t know if Susan had seen her.
“Miss, if you don’t have an invitation, please leave immediately.” The staff’s attitude was very bad, and they felt that Nelissa was a suspicious person. There were many star idols present tonight, and maybe paparazzi wanted to sneak in to make the news.
“I, I’m here to find someone…” Nelissa was very confused. Susan was also here. She thought of many bad things.
Edward had mentioned to her that the actress he had invested in was from Susan’s company. The woman in the bathroom just now should be this actress. The man said that her boss was also interested in Edward and was referring to Susan?
It turned out that Susan liked Edward!
But when did it start?
Nelissa had never known that when Susan was her substitute, she had already taken off her clothes and lured him in front of Edward. Nelissa had never known that the only time many years ago, when she was drunk, she would have been taken away by the gangsters arranged by Susan. The consequences were unimaginable.
At that time, Susan saw with her own eyes in the dark that Edward took away the drunk Nelissa. She was well aware of what had happened between the two of them that night, so she hated Nelissa even more.
In fact, all their interactions had become complicated many years ago, but Nelissa had never known about it, and now she didn’t know.
“Miss Nelissa, why are you here?” Andrew appeared in time and helped Nelissa out.
“Where’s Edward?” Nelissa asked directly. She didn’t care if the people around them would hear her. She couldn’t care less.
“Young Mr. Hales drank some wine and left early. He’s resting in his room,” said Andrew.
Nelissa’s eyes turned red with anxiety. “Why are you letting him rest alone in the room?” She pulled Andrew away and pressed the elevator button. “Take me there!”
“… Okay.” Andrew didn’t dare to say anything more, and he was very puzzled. Mr. Hales had always been resting alone in the room, and he didn’t even want to serve a good-looking woman. He was a man in the room, and it was impossible for Mr. Hales to accept it. He would only let him go out.
He didn’t know what the problem was, which made Nelissa so angry.
