The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 113

At the entrance of the restroom.

"Lena's in there fooling around with someone!" Susan whispered with a mixture of glee and anticipation as she pressed her ear against the door, straining to hear the faint but unmistakable sounds of a scandalous encounter.

She could barely contain her excitement. If she caught Lena on camera in such a compromising situation, it would be the end of her career in the design world. Not only would Evergreen Global drop her like a hot potato, but no reputable company would want to work with her.

With this thought fueling her adrenaline, Susan boldly pushed open the door, and the paparazzi who had been lurking behind her charged in like a pack of wolves.

Click, click, click—the sound of camera shutters filled the air, sending a thrill through Susan. She taunted, "Lena, how could you do this? How could you fool around with men here—Lucy?!!"

Susan's eyes widened in shock, her mind stumbling to process the scene before her. It wasn't Lena entangled with someone, but Lucy, completely vulnerable and sobbing, her mouth gagged with a filthy rag. The air in the room was heavy with the scent of sex, and torn clothing was strewn across the floor.

Susan's mind went blank. What just happened here?

The paparazzi stood frozen for a moment before recovering and snapping shots with renewed fervor. "Jackpot! This is the Allen family's heiress! Imagine the ratings when this hits the news."

"And look at that skin—like porcelain!" one commented, as if they were discussing a fine piece of art.

Lucy trembled violently, her words fragmented and desperate, "Don't... don't take pictures... Susan!"

Still in shock, Susan stammered, "Lucy, why are you here? Where's Lena?"

Damn it, she thought, where did things go wrong? It was supposed to be Lena caught in the act today.

Baldrick and Lenard arrived just in time to hear Susan's panicked exclamation, their expressions darkening.

Baldrick narrowed his eyes, ready to speak when a mocking voice cut through the tension, "Susan, why would you think the person fooling around was Lena? Could it be you set her up?"

Heads turned to see who had spoken. Even Baldrick looked up, his attention drawn by the voice.

Walking toward them was Neil, with a strikingly handsome man at his side, possessing an almost ethereal charm. It was Michael.
