Chapter 933 Harm Others but End Up Harmed
Sandra sulked in the small garden for a while until she got a message saying everything was ready.
Only then did she head back.
She had waited too long for this chance to let a few words from Bianca throw her off.
Even if Theodore was a dangerous man, she had to go for it.
After all, in this world, only the bold make it.
As Sandra went upstairs, she swallowed a pill that would help her get pregnant.
As long as she had intimate contact with Theodore tonight, she was sure to conceive.
Outside the room, she took out a key card and swiped it. The door opened, and she stepped inside.
The room was dark, with the curtains drawn.
She could vaguely see someone lying on the bed. She thought about turning on the light but hesitated, fearing Theodore would see her and refuse to sleep with her.
Her hand fell away from the switch, and she slowly walked towards the bed, unzipping the side of her dress as she went, her smile seductive.
"Theodore, I'm here. Don't be impatient."
Sandra reached the bed, her dress already off.
She looked at the dark figure on the bed, her heart racing, blood boiling.
She had desired Theodore for three years, and now he would be hers. The thought made her ecstatic.
She rubbed her hands together and suddenly pounced, hugging the figure on the bed, trembling with excitement. "Theodore, let me kiss you."
Before she could finish, she was pinned down on the bed. The man was tall and strong, and in the darkness, she couldn't see clearly.
She said excitedly, "Theodore, after tonight, you'll be mine completely. No one can take you away."
But the next moment, she realized something was wrong. There was more than one man in the room; several hands reached out to her simultaneously.
Outside the room, Theodore leaned against the wall, no longer showing any signs of the staggering he had displayed when leaving the banquet hall.
His eyes were clear, and as he heard Sandra's screams from inside, his lips curled into a cold smile.
Lawton stood beside him, feeling uneasy at Theodore's smile.
He couldn't help but mentally light a candle for Sandra.
Daring to scheme against Theodore, she wouldn't even know how she died.
"Mr. Reynolds, maybe we should leave?" Lawton suggested, hearing the screams turn into cries of pain.
Theodore had no intention of leaving. He took out his phone, opened WhatsApp, and called Phoebe on video.
Phoebe was attending a private party hosted by a director celebrating his fiftieth birthday. Jett Hayes was a legendary figure in the film industry, with every movie he directed becoming a hit. He had created over thirty stars.
He and Hank were known as the twin stars of film history. Even in his old age, his films still received rave reviews and high box office numbers.
Phoebe was invited because her classmate Stanley had connections. As they entered, Jett and his wife, Octavia, greeted them warmly.
After some small talk, Phoebe observed Octavia. Octavia had met Jett through a film and was the first star he had created.
She had retired at the peak of her career, breaking the hearts of millions, but she still looked stunning.
Phoebe shook hands with Jett and Octavia, saying, "Mr. Hayes, Mrs. Hayes, I grew up watching your movies. I've always admired you."
Jett laughed heartily. "Ms. Ziegler, you're making me feel ancient. Time flies, doesn't it?"
"Absolutely," Octavia chimed in with a smile. "When I met Jett, I was even prettier than you, Ms. Ziegler. Now, I'm about to be a grandmother. Time waits for no one."
The couple's affectionate gaze at each other was genuine, not like the superficial relationships of convenience, making Phoebe envious.
Stanley teased, "Phoebe, your words have made Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes all nostalgic."
"It's fine. I hear that a lot now. We're old hands, but the younger generation is impressive," Jett said, his straightforward personality shining through.
Phoebe laughed too. "I didn't mean to make you feel old."
They chatted a bit more before Jett and Octavia went to greet other guests. Stanley led Phoebe to a sofa.
"How do you feel meeting your idols?" Stanley asked.
Phoebe patted her chest, smiling. "So nervous. I almost said something wrong. Luckily, Mr. Hayes is easygoing."
"Don't worry. Mr. Hayes isn't pretentious. You can talk to him casually. To him, we're all juniors," Stanley reassured her.
Phoebe nodded, looking around. Many familiar faces were present, including many from Kedora Film Academy, making her feel excited.
These were veteran actors, and it was rare to see them all together. Tonight felt like witnessing a miracle.
Despite everything she had been through in the past two years, seeing so many stars she had only seen on TV made her a bit nervous.
Stanley noticed her tension and patted her shoulder. "Don't be afraid. I'll introduce you."
Phoebe smiled at him. Stanley stood up and offered his arm. Phoebe took it, maintaining a polite distance.
That night, Stanley introduced Phoebe to many people. She felt a bit lightheaded from all the introductions and the wine she had drunk, her cheeks burning.
She went to the bathroom, splashed water on her face, and calmed down.
As she was about to leave, her phone rang.
She took it out of her purse and saw it was a video call from Theodore. She quickly left the bathroom.
Jett's birthday party was held at his home, a three-story villa with a large yard filled with ginkgo trees.
The leaves had fallen, and the trees were decorated with fairy lights, creating a magical atmosphere.
She found a quiet corner. Theodore's call had ended, but he called again just as she was about to return the call.
She answered, and a scream came from the phone, startling her. "What's that noise?"
Phoebe stared at the screen, seeing Theodore standing in a hallway, the light casting a glow on his handsome face.
Looking at his face, she felt a sense of pride that such a good-looking man was hers.
Theodore smiled. "Nothing. Why is it so dark there? Is the party over?"
"I'm outside. It's almost over. What about you?" Phoebe's voice was a bit hoarse from all the excitement and talking.
Theodore said, "I'm done. Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up."
Phoebe thought for a moment and sent her location.
She added, "If you're tired, you can go home first. My classmate can take me back."
"My woman doesn't need anyone else to take her home. Wait for me. I'll be there soon. It's cold outside. Go back in," Theodore said, noticing she wasn't wearing a coat and was standing outside in her dress.
It made his heart ache.
