Chapter 218 It's Debra's Turn
The next evening, in a fancy hotel suite.
Things were getting steamy.
"You're amazing!"
"Say it again, baby."
Otis was talking dirty, but Dorothy just wanted it over with.
To become news director, she had to keep sacrificing herself.
Right in the middle of it, the door got kicked open!
Dorothy screamed, rolled off Otis, and hid under the covers.
Otis, completely naked, scrambled to put on his underwear. When he looked up, he froze in fear!
"Shirley?"
"Otis, is this your mistress?" Shirley Wright sneered at Dorothy, her 5-foot-9 frame intimidating.
She took off her coat, showing off her muscular arms, making Dorothy shiver. "I thought you'd be with someone stunning, but really, her?"
Before they reacted, Shirley lunged, grabbed Dorothy by the hair, and slapped her hard three times, making her mouth bleed!
The slaps were brutal and satisfying!
"Otis! Help me!" Dorothy cried, her head pounding, sobbing and shouting.
But Otis was too scared to move. He was shaking!
Just then, Shirley's assistant walked in with two big bodyguards. Shirley yelled,
"Everyone, come see! A shameless woman seducing our boss's husband! Caught red-handed! Don't miss it!"
The assistant started filming, live-streaming everything!
Otis and Dorothy were stunned!
"Otis, kneel!" Shirley roared, and Otis quickly obeyed.
"When you were a nobody, my family gave you the money to start your business. Now you have money, and you cheat on me? Without me, you're nothing!"
"I'm nothing," Otis kept repeating, his usual confidence gone.
Dorothy knelt in front of Shirley, covering her face and crying. She couldn't understand how they got caught.
'We've been sneaking around for almost two years. How did we get caught today?' Dorothy wondered.
Then, Otis got beaten up by the bodyguards, and Dorothy was brutally beaten by Shirley, losing a tooth.
The assistant wisely turned off the live stream before this part.
In the end, Otis, bruised and battered, was dragged out by the bodyguards without even getting dressed.
Dorothy was left alone, curled up in a corner, her face bloody and scratched, her hair a mess, on the verge of a breakdown.
"Wondering how I found out?" Shirley sneered, "You did this to yourself. Think about what you've done and who you've pissed off!"
With that, Shirley spat on her and walked away.
The room went silent.
Dorothy trembled, trying to remember what she had done and who she had offended.
Suddenly, a name flashed in her mind. 'Evelyn, was it you? Evelyn?'
Just then, her phone buzzed twice on the bedside table and stopped.
Dorothy shakily got up, grabbed her phone, and opened the email. There was an audio file.
She hesitated, then played it.
From start to finish, Donovan's anguished voice accused her of seducing him and making him steal the KS World Hotel's project plan!
The phone slipped from her hand.
Dorothy's legs gave out, and she crumpled to the floor, feeling like her world had shattered.
Late at night, Debra took a bubble bath and sat at her vanity, carefully applying skincare products.
Ever since Eric warned her about Molly, she felt a heavy weight on her chest, making it hard to sleep.
'What's so special about Molly? Why does Evelyn defend her, and now Eric too?' she thought.
Debra picked up a lipstick and angrily wrote "Molly" in big letters on the mirror, then drew a big X over it. "I don't have time for you now. Just wait until I'm the general manager; then I'll deal with you!"
Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing it was Jessica, Debra frowned but put on a fake smile and answered, "Jessica, what's up calling so late?"
"Something big happened!" Jessica's tone was serious, "I just heard Evelyn caught the traitor in the planning team, and the police arrested him!"
"What? How did this happen?"
Debra exclaimed, feeling uneasy, "What about Dorothy?"
"Didn't you see the live stream tonight? Dorothy and Otis got caught in a hotel room by Shirley, who live-streamed the whole thing. They didn't even have time to get dressed and were humiliated worldwide!"
Debra's mind buzzed. 'How did everything change so fast while I was taking a bath?'
"Delete all your chat records with Dorothy immediately. The police might trace it back to you!" Jessica warned.
"I know!"
Just then, another call came in from Debra's secretary.
"Jessica, hold on, I have another call!"
She switched over and answered, "What's the situation with Dorothy?"
"Not good!" The secretary sounded anxious, "Dorothy had a serious car accident tonight and is now in a deep coma, still in critical condition."
"That's great!" Debra was thrilled.
"Great?" The secretary was confused.
"Evelyn caught the traitor, so she must know about Dorothy. Following Dorothy, she'll trace it back to us. Dorothy's accident actually helps me!" A ruthless glint flashed in Debra's eyes, "Dorothy helped us ruin Evelyn and Ada's collaboration, so she's served her purpose. Let her stay in the hospital and not cause me any more trouble!"
Dorothy's car accident was quickly known to Evelyn.
At that moment, Evelyn was in the underground wine cellar Landon had built for her, picking a bottle of wine to enjoy before bed.
"I heard Dorothy was distracted while crossing the street and got into the accident. The live-streamed affair must have been a huge mental blow to her." William was holding the ladder for Evelyn, worried she might fall.
Evelyn's expression was cold.
"Shirley really went all out," William said. "Set an example and warn all mistresses."
Evelyn had also had her marriage ruined by Nicole, another mistress.
Although Edward had no love for her during their three-year marriage, that didn't give Nicole the right to trample on her dignity and interfere in their marriage.
"Evelyn, next, it's Debra's turn, right?" William looked at her intently.
"No rush. With Dorothy's accident, Debra is probably secretly relieved. Let her be smug for a couple of days."
As Evelyn was being helped down the ladder by William, her phone rang.
She looked at it and frowned in annoyance.
It was Edward calling.
