On the second floor of the Sheraton Hotel, Los Angeles.
Stephanie Yelland stood in the corridor with a glass of wine for a long time, and finally reached out her hand to the door handle.
Before she opened the door and went in, the words coming from inside made her freeze.
"Hey, you're so lucky. I heard that you've got a virgin this time."
"Gabriel, don't you understand what I mean by inviting everyone here today? Of course, happiness is shared with others rather than enjoyed alone. But let's agree that I will be the first one to go up."
...
Stephanie bit her lip hard, and her hand holding the wine glass couldn't help trembling.
She had thought that her cousin, Yuliana Stone, would give her brother the money for surgery as long as she went to drink with the client. She had not expected that it was going to destroy her completely!
She wanted to escape, but her legs were weak and she began to lose strength.
Damn it, there was something wrong with the glass of wine that Yuliana gave her!
And she was still naive. Listening to Yuliana's words, she took a big gulp in order to fill up her courage!
Fortunately, she didn't go in.
Stephanie took back her hand, struggled to keep her consciousness, and turned around to leave.
Just then, she heard a voice say, "I haven't been here for so long. I'll go out and see if I'm lost."
Stephanie's heart tightened. She didn't know if it was because she was nervous or her hands were weak, but her hands loosened and the wine glass suddenly fell to the ground.
With a bang, Stephanie was scared and ran away.
"Come out to sell and build a memorial arch. Stinky girl, stop! Don't run!" Several old men rushed out when they heard the sound and shouted to block the hotel.
Stephanie was so anxious that she was sweating all over. Seeing that the elevator door was open, she did not think twice and went straight in.
Because she ran too fast, she couldn't help falling into the man's arms.
Before she could ask for help, the man reached out to pick her up and threw her to the ground.
This was his instinctive reaction, because he hated strange women approaching him.
The man hit her hard, which made her sober up from the pain.
But when she saw who that person was, she froze.
"Sawyer Linnet?"
How could it be him?
It was not until the elevator door slowly opened with a ding sound that Stephanie came to her senses from the shock.
She was now drugged. If she didn't find a place to hide and was found by those people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She bit her lips and got up from the ground as soon as the man stepped out of the elevator.She reached out and hugged the man's thigh."Sawyer."
"Can you help me... please?" She lowered her head and prayed, almost letting go of all her dignity.
Stephen wanted to shake her off, but when he heard the name "Sawyer", he paused slightly.
It seemed that he and that person looked alike alot.
He looked down at Stephanie. After seeing her face clearly, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes showed a deep meaning.
He stretched out his hand to lift Stephanie's chin and looked straight into her red eyes. His hoarse and low voice fell. "How can I help you?"
Stephanie's consciousness was very unclear. She just felt that the man's hand was like a piece of ice that could melt the flame in her heart.
She approached him uncontrollably, and her voice was full of desire. "Help me... I'll hide... hide for a moment."
Although she said that she just wanted to hide for a while, she unconsciously put her hand on the man's waist.
"Just... hide for a moment?"
"Ha, your body is still more honest."
The man hesitated for a moment, then reached out to pick her up and walked straight out of the elevator. "I hope you can afford the price of asking me for help. Stephanie!"
It was a long night.
When Stephanie woke up, she was in so much pain that she couldn't move.
She almost screamed when she found herself naked lying on the big bed of the hotel.
She quickly calmed down when she saw the familiar face beside her.
Sawyer, it's all thanks to you...
Stephanie's eyes instantly turned red. She wanted to reach out to touch the handsome face that she had been thinking about day and night, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she had to get out of bed carefully, pick up her clothes from the ground, put them on in a panic, and left.
After leaving the hotel, Stephanie took a taxi to the hospital as soon as possible.
She was very worried that Yuliana would do something to hurt her younger brother because she had escaped yesterday.
But before they arrived, they received a call from the nurse.
"Miss Yelland, your phone is finally connected.
"Ern, Mr Sunderland passed away the day before yesterday. Please forgive me. In your brother's situation, it's really difficult to match his heart..."
Boom-
In an instant, Stephanie felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was dizzy and almost fainted.
"He was gone the day before yesterday? How is that possible? Didn't you say yesterday that my brother could still be saved?! I don't believe it!"
Stephanie rushed to the hospital as fast as she could, but she only got the death list. She didn't even see her brother's body!It was said that she had been taken away by the Sunderland family.
She clenched her fists so hard that she wanted to crush the piece of paper in her hand.
Full of hatred and despair, she rushed back to the Sunderland family breathlessly, but was stopped by the housekeeper outside the villa.
Yuliana walked out arrogantly.
"You still have the nerve to get it back?"
Stephanie directly threw the report in her hand on her face, and asked with red eyes, "Why did you hide it from me when my brother passed away?"
And she was at the hotel. She was almost bullied.
If she hadn't met Sawyer yesterday, she would have been completely ruined!
