Afraid that her plans will be exposed to Marcellus, Sophie can"t wait to leave. But unexpectedly, Katrina holds her back.Sophie instantly gets angry. "Katrina! Let me go! What right do you have to grab me like this?"
Meanwhile, Marcellus realizes something is wrong after he gets a moment to calm down.
Katrina has never been drunk alone on her own. Even if she gets drunk, the first person she would contact is her best friend, Farrah, not him. After all, men and women act differently, especially when alcohol is involved.
And why was Sophie eavesdropping at the door? It seems she knows about Katrina"s supposed drunken state.
Everything reveals that Sophie"s presence is definitely not a coincidence.
Katrina"s words imply that she didn"t send him the message. It"s quite possible that Sophie took Katrina"s phone and sent the message on her behalf.
What is her purpose for doing this? Is she planning secretly to hurt Katrina?
At the realization, Marcellus stares at Sophie with a grim look. "Sophie, what the h.e.l.l is going on?"
On one side, Katrina is grabbing Sophie"s arm. The grip is strong enough to keep her in place. Katrina refuses to let her go.
On the other side, Marcellus is demanding her to explain herself.
At this point, Sophie feels caught in a whirlpool. She"s restless and at a loss with what to do.
"I… I…" Sophie stammers but fails to utter a single word. She doesn"t know what to say to defend herself.
Sophie remains silent for a long time without saying a word.
Katrina grunts, "If you can"t talk, let me help you!"
Her grip on Sophie"s wrist tightens as she continues, "Sophie, you called me at noon yesterday to invite me to your birthday dinner. You asked me to go to Room 102 of the Jameson Hotel in the evening. You said that Uncle Anderson and Aunt Green would be present. For Uncle Anderson"s sake, I decided to come. I"m telling the truth, aren"t I?"
Sophie is overwhelmed as Katrina stares intensely at her. Although Katrina"s voice is gentle, the firm tone is forceful enough to stress Sophie out.
She subconsciously retorts, "No, I didn"t!"
"No? I was having lunch with Farrah yesterday. She can confirm whether you called me or not. The gift I picked out for you yesterday afternoon is still in my bag because I didn"t have the time to give it to you!"
Katrina opens her bag and takes out a beautifully wrapped folded umbrella, shoving it roughly to the ground. She actually made an effort to choose a suitable birthday gift for Sophie. In return, she was given to a lecherous b.a.s.t.a.r.d as a gift!
From the expressions on the faces of the two women, Marcellus can tell who"s lying. He looks extremely serious as he calmly says, "Katrina, go on."
His instincts tell him that things are not as simple as he thinks.
Katrina has always been a kind, gentle, and sensible girl. She wouldn"t lose her temper like this over anything. It"s as if she reached her tipping point.
Katrina nods and continues, "Last night, I arrived at Room 102 of the Jameson Hotel on time and found only you and Samuel inside. You lied and told me that Uncle Anderson was choosing jewelry with Aunt Green. I didn"t doubt you, and I waited patiently in my seat.
"Because it was a little hot in the room, I drank two gla.s.ses of water. You must have deliberately turned off the air-conditioning in the room, didn"t you? After a while, I felt dizzy. Something was off, and I wanted to get out as soon as possible. But Samuel grabbed me and brought me to this room.
"As I struggled to gather my senses, a strange man appeared in the room. He was ready to... He was ready to **** me," Katrina chokes, pausing for a moment as she recalls the painful memories. Her voice is trembling.
Upon hearing the story, Marcellus"s eyes widen in shock as he looks at Sophie in disbelief.
Sophie and Samuel drugged Katrina"s drink and sent her to someone else"s bed.
Marcellus has always known that Sophie dislikes Katrina, but he never imagined that she would use such despicable means to destroy Katrina"s innocence. He looks into Sophie"s eyes with spite and anger.
Katrina takes a deep breath to calm herself and continues speaking, "The man said that Samuel sold me to him. Samuel gave my body in exchange for a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You teamed up to get even with me! You ignored my safety for your own benefit!
"I couldn"t bear to be raped by a strange man. I struggled desperately and got slapped harshly for my efforts. In the end, I pretended to submit and attacked him while he was distracted. I escaped from the room, and a kind stranger saved me.
"The hotel attendant told me that a woman surrendered my cell phone to the front desk. When I got my phone back, I noticed my good sister sneaking in here."
From the day before until this moment, Katrina recounts everything in front of Marcellus.
Sophie planned everything so Marcellus can catch Katrina sleeping with another man. She did all this to make him despise her.
If Sophie wants to destroy her image in front of Marcellus deliberately, then Katrina doesn"t have any qualms about revealing Sophie"s true nature in front of the man she loves.
Katrina"s story reveals the truth without any loopholes.
When Marcellus notices the fading bruise on Katrina"s face and discovers what she went through yesterday, he feels even worse.
At this point, Sophie is dumbfounded by Katrina, successfully exposing her. She gapes in silence, unable to say a word.
It"s pointless even to explain herself.

Although Marcellus has no romantic feelings for Sophie, he used to treat her as a friend and sister. Even when he found out that Sophie slapped Katrina, he didn"t break relations with her no matter how angry he was with her.
But after discovering what Sophie did to Katrina, Marcellus"s heart freezes, and the little affection he has for Sophie disappears in an instant.
How could he have such a despicable and illegal woman whom he hates with a pa.s.sion in his life?
Marcellus looks at Sophie with a cold face. "Sophie! From now on, I"m cutting you out of my life. Please mind your own business and leave me alone. If you dare hurt Katrina in the future again, don"t blame me for my rude actions!"
