Chapter 171 Kelly's Scheme
Kelly texted : [Grace, today is my birthday. Ryan got drunk with me in room 1314. I left the room card outside. Since you are his fiancée, it's more appropriate for you to take care of him. It's not suitable for me to do so.]
There was no response from Grace. Kelly smirked, then leisurely undressed herself. She lay naked next to Ryan, even draping a leg over him.
Afterward, Kelly reached out to the media.
Late at night, the hotel room door was opened, followed by a barrage of flashlights.
Most of the blanket had slipped to the floor, with only a small part covering Ryan's legs.
Ryan and Kelly were stark naked, their bodies clearly captured by the cameras.
"Look, it's Ryan Mr. Montgomery. Ms. Lewis' tip was right; Mr. Ryan Montgomery cheated before marriage and booked a room with another woman."
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, you're getting married next month. Does this behavior count as betraying your marriage?"
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, who is this woman to you? Are you long-term sex partners?"
Ryan was overwhelmed by the noise. His head pounded from the excessive drinking, and amidst the clamor, he heard voices. Opening his eyes, he found a crowd of people aiming cameras at him.
He was startled awake. "Who are you? How did you get in here? What do you want?"
Ryan's movements were so loud that Kelly pretended to wake up. Seeing the scene, she quickly hid herself under the blanket.
"It was Ms. Lewis who tipped us off, saying you booked a room here and left the room card outside," the media said.
"Ms. Lewis? Grace?" Ryan clenched his fists.
The media shook their heads. "We don't know. She just said her last name is Lewis."
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, will there be any changes to your wedding with Ms. Lewis?"
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, is this your first time cheating? Will you continue this behavior after marriage?"
At this moment, Kelly, who was hiding, poked her head out, uttering, "It's not like that. Don't blame Ryan."
The media turned their cameras to Kelly's face. "Who are you? Do you know Mr. Ryan Montgomery has a fiancée? Are you his mistress?"
"I'm not a mistress. Ryan and I are true love. We are the real couple!" Kelly tried to explain.
In front of the media, Kelly appeared particularly helpless and petite.
"What does this mean? Are you saying Ms. Lewis is actually the home wrecker?"
"I remember seeing photos of you and this lady before. Are you two in love, and Ms. Lewis is the one intruding on your relationship?"
Hearing some inside information, the reporters frantically pursued their questions.
"Enough!" Ryan's face paled, his impatience evident.
He grabbed something nearby and threw it directly at the reporters, shouting, "Get out!"
Ryan's expression was very unpleasant. Anyone would be upset if such photos were taken by reporters.
The media, of course, wouldn't miss such an opportunity, bombarding him with sharp questions.
"Which media outlet are you from? Be careful, or I'll make sure your company goes out of business!" Ryan threatened.
Seeing that Ryan was genuinely angry, they quickly left with their cameras.
After all, the Montgomery family was the most prominent family in Skigeth.
Ryan was not someone they could afford to offend.
"Ryan, what on earth is going on? How could this happen?" Kelly asked, wearing a frightened expression.
"Was it really Grace who did this? Why does she always do such things? Is she trying to use public opinion to destroy me?"
Despite his anger, Ryan's tone was more composed this time. "How could it be Grace? She didn't even know we were here, and she didn't have the room key. Kelly Simmons, what is really going on?"
Hearing Ryan call her by her full name, Kelly tightly clenched the bedsheet. Ryan usually called her Kelly.
And now, Ryan was even defending Grace.
Kelly said, "You were drunk, so I brought you here. I thought Grace, being your fiancée, should take care of you. So I sent her a message with the hotel room number and told her the room card was outside."
"But I waited for Grace for a long time, and she didn't come. You were drunk and needed someone to take care of you. Ryan, you don't suspect me, do you?" Kelly widened her eyes, feigning innocence.
"Didn't you undress me? Why did you take off my clothes?" Ryan stared into Kelly's eyes, trying to discern the truth.
Kelly had already prepared an excuse, stating, "You threw up later, and your clothes and pants were covered in it, as well as mine. So I had to take them off."
"Ryan, do you suspect me? But I was also photographed, and those people called me a mistress. How could I do something that harms others without benefiting myself?" As she spoke, her tears began to fall.
Already annoyed by the incident, Ryan's irritation grew as Kelly began to cry.
"Stop crying!" Ryan shouted loudly.
He stood up directly. "I need to find Grace and get to the bottom of this!"
"But what about all the media outside? They will definitely be waiting out there," said Kelly.
"I'll call someone to handle it. I don't believe I can't deal with just some media!" Ryan immediately called his secretary.
Grace was woken up by a call from Angela.
"Angela?" Grace was so sleepy that her voice was a bit groggy.
"Grace, check the trending news quickly. Kelly and Ryan were caught by the media in a hotel room, and they were photographed in bed!" Angela exclaimed.
"What?"
"And the media are claiming that you leaked their room number and room card. The internet is in chaos, and that shameless Kelly is saying she and Ryan are true love. The media are writing that you are the home wrecker," replied Angela.
To grab attention, the media wrote: [Grace was trying to marry into a wealthy family by intruding on someone else's relationship and driving Kelly away.]
The disputes of wealthy families always attracted attention, and news that violated social norms and ethics drew even more onlookers.
Grace had nothing to do with this; she was completely unaware.
She hadn't even seen the message Kelly sent; it was still unread.
At that moment, her door was being pounded on forcefully.
Outside, Ryan's angry voice could be heard. "Grace, get out here!"
Ryan's pounding was so loud that the neighbors upstairs and downstairs could hear it.
Kelly was still holding onto Ryan. "Ryan, don't be so angry. Don't be so harsh on Grace; you'll scare her."
"Even if Grace did it, I can understand. I will forgive her. She must be angry with me. Otherwise, blame me. It was wrong of me to ask you to join me on my birthday, expecting you to celebrate with me. I was selfish, and I shouldn't have looked after you." Kelly was still pretending to be innocent.
