"It's a shame that there's no internet here. You won't be able to send me the photos!" Shelly sighed."There's internet here! Don't you know about the private internet network?" The little girl pulled Shelly to a specific area and said, "Just scan this code and you will be able to connect to the private network."Shelly was instantly impressed but did not understand why the venue would block the internet, only to set up a private network for the guests."Is there something unique about this private network?" she thought but did not ask the little girl about it.The little girl was unlikely to know the answer and asking such questions would only draw attention to herself. As a safety measure, Shelly did not connect to the private network and said, "Does your smartwatch have Bluetooth? Do you know what that is?""Of course! Both my parents have Bluetooth AirPods!"Shelly blushed at how knowledgeable the little girl was and repeated her question, "So does your smartwatch has Bluet

Even if she did manage to get close to Hayden, he might not believe that she had overheard such a conversation in the bathroom.There was a chance that the people who were plotting against him were his relatives, so it was only natural for Hayden to believe his own relatives over a stranger.If Hayden found out that Shelly was a reporter, he might get his bodyguard to throw her out.Shelly shook her head and thought, "I can't risk getting exposed, nor can I afford to cross Hayden Tate. But then... I don't have the heart to watch as he gets hurt..."After a few moments of hesitation, she decided to change back into the uniform."Poppy, I heard that you have been playing with a lady. Where's she?" The little girl's mother returned to the hall and asked her daughter."She said she needs to do something else and left. I don't know where she went." The little girl unlocked her smartwatch to show her mother the photos. "The lady took some photos of me and they look great."The woman g

Hayden smiled. "Of course." He shot the waiter a look, and the waiter immediately set a chair down next to Hayden.Lola sat down and her mother left after saying a few words to the others.Lola kept her eyes trained on the glass of juice Hayden was holding.Perhaps Hayden was feeling a little ill from drinking too much, so he finished his juice right away."Would you like more?" Lola asked."I will do it." Hayden picked up the jug of juice and poured himself another glass. "Have you graduated?""No. I'm still in university.""What are you majoring in?" Hayden had been drinking the entire day, and it would be a lie to say that he was completely sober.He looked at Lola gently. It was not an expression he would show strangers if he was his usual self."Archaeology," Lola said. "I picked it myself because that's what I'm interested in. My parents let me do what I want.""As long as that's what you like. It's hard to master anything that you don't have a passion for, regardless o

Hayden stilled and turned to look at Shelly. "Is there any ice water?"He felt as though his entire body was on fire and desperately wanted a glass of ice water."O- of course!" Shelly immediately went to bring him a glass of ice water, and on her way, she spotted a slim woman coming her way.Alarmed, she instantly realized that this was the woman who plotted to sleep with Hayden.Shelly added a few pieces of ice into a glass of water and immediately hurried back to Hayden."Lola, why are you here?" When Hayden spotted Lola, he realized what had happened.He started feeling hot after drinking the juice, which was given to him by Eric's aunt.He had managed to keep a leveled head despite all the alcoholic drinks he had consumed, so it became clear that something was wrong with the juice."Hayden, you seem ill. I was worried, so I came over to see if I can take care of you," Lola said gently as she approached Hayden.Shelly stood behind Lola with the glass of water, not daring t

The bodyguard immediately scowled. "You know what's wrong with Mr. Tate? How?" He grabbed Shelly by the collar and dragged her into the room."Be gentle! I didn't do this to your boss! I just..." Shelly wanted to tell the truth but was worried that they might not believe her.Hayden heard the noise from inside the bathroom and came out of the shower wearing his bathrobe."What's going on?" He did not bother drying his hair, and there was still water dripping from his hair."Mr. Tate, your bodyguard has a misunderstanding with me! He thinks that I drugged your drink... but I didn't... I saw how flushed you were and figured that you drank something that you shouldn't... I work in this hotel... and you'd be surprised how frequently this sort of thing happens... I just thought I would warn you. I don't know anything else." Shelly clarified the situation and made sure to exclude her involvement in the matter.If Hayden was as smart as he was described to be in rumors, he would understa

In the event hall, the dinner had ended, and after saying goodbye to the guests, Layla was about to leave with Eric.Eric had not rested throughout the day, and though he did not seem tired, Layla had to make sure that he lay down."I will go check on Hayden first." Worried about Hayden, she decided to drop by Hayden's room."Yeah. He doesn't usually drink, right? He drank quite a lot today." Eric was grateful for Hayden's help with the guests."I don't live with him, so I don't know how good his tolerance for alcohol is. He doesn't really drink when he is around us." Layla recalled how flushed Hayden looked when he left the hall."Yeah. Let's keep him away from any alcohol tomorrow," Eric said."I'm just worried that he might throw up at night, and no one is there to look after him." Layla hurried toward the VIP rooms, and when they arrived before Hayden's room, Hayden's bodyguard immediately bowed respectfully to them."Why are you standing outside the door? Did my brother tel

In the end, everyone claimed to have steered clear of Hayden's room."Mr. Tate, you heard everything on the speaker. None of them entered your room," the receptionist said. "Did you lose something?""No," Hayden said. He thought to himself, 'Is that woman not coming forward out of fear that I might punish her for what happened? If that's the case, it's best that I don't disturb her.'Hayden arrived at the dining hall where the breakfast buffet was being served."Hayden." Avery spotted him and hurried over. "How are you doing? If you feel sick, you should rest in your room.""I'm fine, Mom.""Did you sleep well last night, Hayden? I was worried that you might throw up." Layla handed him a glass of juice.He shook his head. "I just need water.""Hayden, the gift bags for the guests at my wedding have become the talk of the town now," Layla said as she set her glass of juice down. "There are no photos, but everyone now knows that I was giving out gold bars and cars to my guests."
Chapter 2898
Shelly collapsed on her bed dazedly when she returned to her apartment with memories of the night before replaying in her mind.It had been a preposterous night.Hayden was a gentleman, and Shelly was the one who had taken the initiative.When she had seen that Hayden had completely submerged his body in the cold water, including his head, she had been worried that he might suffocate.If Hayden had died, the police would arrest her as the first suspect as she had been alone in the room with Hayden.Considering all these factors, she had dragged Hayden out of the water, and everything had swiftly spiraled out of control.She admitted that she had been enthralled by Hayden’s looks as she would have ran if she had been in the same situation with a horrendous-looking man; but because she had been with Hayden, she had done something unexpected.Other than a tinge of embarrassment, she felt nothing else afterward.Had Hayden not been drugged, she would have never had the chance to be
