Chapter 352 Indecent Video
Dean anxiously reopened his phone, wanting to call Elizabeth, but he was afraid she might be asleep.
If he woke her up, it would be hard for her to fall back asleep.
He didn't want to disturb a pregnant woman's rest.
Dean turned off all the lights in his room and stood outside Elizabeth's door.
Seeing no light seeping from under the door, he knew she was already asleep.
He had no choice but to go back to his room, planning to ask her about the events of the evening first thing in the morning.
He went to bed with a bit of worry.
On the other side, Margaret returned to her place, accompanied by Octavia.
Octavia was publicly known as Margaret's cousin. She had no other relatives in Aurora Bay, so it was normal for her to stay at Margaret's apartment.
Before Margaret went to her bedroom, Octavia called out, "Ms. Taylor, I sent the files to your email."
Margaret nodded, "Great. I'll check them right away." She went to her room, opened the email, and reviewed the contents, a satisfied and sinister smile forming on her lips.
In her mind, she thought, 'Elizabeth, you're done for this time! I'll make sure you're nailed to the pillar of shame forever!'
The next morning, Elizabeth came downstairs for breakfast, her hair hastily tied up in a bun, and wearing slippers.
Dean, who had been worried all night, finally had the chance to ask her, "Elizabeth, which party did you go to last night?"
Elizabeth looked up at him, "I told you last night. The Ramirez family's party."
Dean grew more anxious, "Did anything happen to you?"
Elizabeth, chewing on her toast, looked puzzled, "Did you hear something? How do you know something happened to me?"
Dean's heart skipped a beat, his voice trembling, "What happened? Why didn't you tell me?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment and replied, "Someone drugged me. I passed out. My bodyguard took me to the hospital."
Dean's eyes widened in shock. Margaret had actually made a move! But why would she drug Elizabeth?
He was very concerned about Elizabeth's health, "What did the doctor say? Did they run any tests? Were there any abnormalities?"
Elizabeth smiled, "Dean, you're acting like my mom."
Dean couldn't smile. He frowned deeply, "I'm not joking. Tell me, did anything else happen?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "I don't think so. When I woke up, my clothes were intact. There were no signs of assault."
Dean breathed a slight sigh of relief and started eating, "Last night, Michael was also drugged, with an aphrodisiac. He's still in the hospital."
Elizabeth was shocked, "What? Who would dare drug Michael? Are they crazy?"
Dean snorted, "There are people crazy enough to do it!"
Elizabeth hesitated, "Margaret? Or Octavia?" She waved her hand, "They're in it together. It doesn't matter who did it."
Dean opened his phone and scrolled through the morning news, "I agree with you. I suspect Margaret. Calla is already dead. Margaret will eliminate any woman around Michael, especially you."
He looked at Elizabeth, "Margaret knows you're important to Michael, so you need to be careful. I'm afraid she might harm you."
Before Elizabeth could respond, she saw Dean's expression change. She gave him a questioning look.
Dean stared at his phone, seemingly at a loss for words.
Elizabeth grew anxious, "What's wrong? Say something."
Dean frowned deeply, looking worried, "Elizabeth, you've been set up."
Elizabeth put down her spoon, "Am I trending again? What's the scandal this time?"
Dean quickly locked his phone, "Just finish your breakfast. I'll handle this."
He placed his phone face down on the table. Elizabeth immediately reached for it.
Dean's expression was serious, "Elizabeth, please don't look, okay?"
Elizabeth had already unlocked the phone and saw the website Dean had been browsing. It was a very inappropriate video.
The video appeared to be shot in a hotel room. In it, a woman was having sex with a short, fat man.
The woman's face was blurry, but her pregnant belly was very noticeable.
Elizabeth thought, 'Why would a woman with such a big belly make a video like this? Why post it online? Is it for money?'
She turned on the sound, and the woman's moans were so explicit that Elizabeth felt embarrassed.
She enlarged the video and played it in landscape mode, realizing that the woman looked a lot like her.
Elizabeth looked at Dean in horror, "This woman looks so much like me!"
Dean took back the phone, "Elizabeth, whoever posted this video is clearly targeting you."
Elizabeth was frantic, "But that woman isn't me!"
She was on the verge of tears, "Dean, look at the man on top of her. He's short and fat, so disgusting! How could I ever be with someone like that..."
Her morning sickness had long since passed. But after seeing that video, she immediately felt a wave of nausea and wanted to vomit.
Unable to hold it back, she rushed to the bathroom and vomited into the toilet, emptying her breakfast completely.
Dean followed her, gently patting her back, "I'll get you some water."
Elizabeth continued to retch. When her stomach was finally empty, she stood up and took the water Dean handed her, rinsing her mouth.
Once she calmed down, she reopened the video, her face icy, "Dean, this is aimed at me."
Dean took the phone, "Exactly. Anyone who knows you will think this woman is you."
Elizabeth's expression was cold, "I know who did this. Margaret and Octavia. I'm just curious how Octavia faked the pregnancy."
Dean helped her back to the living room, "That's easy. It's just a prop. Actors use it all the time."
Elizabeth looked down, "I guess I'm not familiar with these things."
Dean asked cautiously, "Elizabeth, don't let this get to you. I was planning to take the video down, but since it's not you, you're the victim here. I wanted to get your opinion. If you want the video removed, I'll make it disappear immediately."
Elizabeth shook her head, "Not for now. We don't have control over the source. Even if you take it down, they'll just upload it again. It's pointless."
