When Gwyneth left their room, a hand reached out from the men’s room and yanked her in. She stumbled out ten minutes later, her collar to, her makeup smudged, and her eyes full of terror and rage.
Chapter 14
She stormed back to Asher’s room, as if looking to get back at someone. Half an hour later, sh came out, having been chewed out by Asher.
Gwyneth hung her head, tears falling down her face, her eyes clouded with helplessness and despair.
Asher remembered the things she had said when she broke down that day, and he could nearly guess what had happened. Regret hit him like a tidal wave.
He immediately asked someone for a phone and called Gwyneth. “Why didn’t you tell me Liana was behind your near assault that day?”
Gwyneth stayed quiet for a moment before sneering, “Was that really needed? I tried to explain back then, but you didn’t want to hear it.
“If you truly cared, how could you not notice something was off when you saw my torn collar, smeared makeup, and bruises? Asher, all you cared about back then was Liana.”
Her words left Asher‘ speechless. He wanted to say something, but she had already hung up. When he tried calling back, he realized he’d been blocked.
In the end, Liana was held at the police station for five days. As she was about to be released on the fifth day, Kieran brought up the incident from the gathering and sent her back with a lawsuit.
Liana was found guilty and sentenced to six months in prison.
Before going to prison, she called Gwyneth. “You wrecked my life, and I won’t let it slide! You’re as good as dead when I get out in six months!”
Gwyneth had just landed a big deal when she answered the call.
Liana’s provocation didn’t faze her, and she simply replied, “Go ahead. Show me how you’re going to harm me next.”
