Chapter 103 Get Rid of Sarah First
Just a bit ago, Sarah started coming to, the pain dragging her back to reality.
Her head was pounding like it was gonna burst, but something cool was easing it a bit.
Sarah's eyebrows scrunched up as she gingerly touched the back of her head, feeling what seemed like a bandage.
Alex, who was right there by her side, saw her trying to sit up and quickly helped her out, saying, "Easy there. You banged up the back of your head."
Sarah looked at Alex and realized he was the one holding the ice pack to her head.
Slowly, she started piecing together what happened before she blacked out, her confusion growing. She glanced around, eyes wide, and asked, "Where am I..."
She remembered getting jumped in the bathroom, so how did she end up in this strange room?
What the heck happened? And why was Alex here?
Alex looked at her, relief all over his face. "You got knocked out, but you're safe now."
He still felt a bit freaked out.
After the dance, he noticed Sarah was gone, and when he went looking, she was nowhere to be found.
Then Ethan told him Sarah had been attacked.
His heart nearly stopped. He rushed over, and only after making sure she was okay did he chill out. He stayed with her until she woke up.
He had a bit of a selfish reason too, hoping he'd be the first person she saw when she came to.
He wanted her to know that when things got rough, it was him who stuck around, not Antonio.
Alex explained everything, then chuckled and added, "Don't worry, Ethan and Michael already gave Lisa a taste of her own medicine."
Sarah got it right away. After a moment of shock, worry crept onto her face. "Ethan did something risky again."
She knew Ethan did it for her, but if things went south and Antonio found out who he was, it’d be a huge mess!
Alex saw her worry and gave her a reassuring smile. "Relax, Ethan's smart. He nailed it."
He noticed the sweat on Sarah's forehead and said, "I patched you up a bit, but you should really get to a hospital for a proper check."
Sarah's head was killing her, but she shook her head firmly. "I need to see what happened to Lisa first."
She'd made it clear where she stood, but Lisa kept coming after her, plotting against her.
She needed to see Lisa's downfall with her own eyes to cool the anger burning inside her.
Alex got it. He knew her well and understood the fire in her heart.
His eyes showed a bit of pain. "Alright, I'll help you."
As they opened the door, they saw the hallway packed with people. Just then, the lights flickered back on, and Sarah quickly scanned the crowd, recognizing the guests from the party.
Everyone was still buzzing about Lisa, throwing out some pretty harsh words.
"A woman like her wants to marry Mr. Antonio Valencia? In her dreams!"
"She shouldn't even be here; she's ruined this nice banquet!"
"Yeah, she should be hitting the clubs where there's a crowd of guys and cash to grab!"
"Totally! She's only fit for prostitution!"
Sarah heard all the nasty comments but, for the first time, didn't feel grossed out. Instead, she felt a weird sense of relief!
After all the crap Lisa pulled, she finally got what was coming to her. Maybe this would knock some sense into her?
The guests were happily trash-talking, and the folks at the back turned to see what was going on.
"It's Mrs. Valencia!"
Hearing that, everyone turned around, and when they saw it was Sarah, they all stepped aside.
Now Sarah could clearly see the scene in room 888. Surrounded by people, Lisa was sitting on the floor, her hair and clothes a mess, her face pale with smudged makeup.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sarah saw Leon cowering in the corner and immediately looked away in disgust.
Lisa was truly nasty, setting up a guy like Leon to mess with her!
But thinking about how Lisa had fallen into her own trap, Sarah couldn't help but sneer.
Not far away, Antonio turned around, his eyes darkening.
Seeing Sarah again did make him feel a bit relieved, but...
The next second, his cold gaze locked onto the two people across from him, noticing their intertwined arms, and his eyes instantly turned icy.
She had been missing for so long, and she was still with this Alex!
At that moment, a sharp, piercing shout rang out.
"Don't talk nonsense! I was framed! How could I be with a chef!" Lisa shouted, her stomach suddenly feeling nauseous, and she dry-heaved.
Thinking about being with a lowly, ugly chef made her tremble with hatred.
She glared viciously at Sarah, like she could pounce at any moment and tear her apart!
The situation had already happened and couldn't be undone, but she couldn't just admit defeat!
She had to take a gamble, betting that Philip was still on her side!
Sure enough, when Philip heard this, a glint flashed in his cloudy eyes. He immediately responded in a cold voice, "I think someone maliciously framed Lisa."
As he said this, his cold gaze fixed on Sarah, the meaning very clear.
At this point, there was no other way.
Nothing was more important than getting rid of Sarah!
Hearing this, everyone looked at Sarah, their eyes full of curiosity.
And Antonio's face grew even darker.
