Chapter 332 What Happened between You and Asa?
Asa gasped for breath, blood dripping from his head—a clear sign of an attack.
At that moment, Sofia, who was worried about Sarah, also followed up.
Reacting quickly, she rushed into the room and turned on the lights. "Call the police and take him to the hospital!"
Antonio was about to strike again but was scared off by Sofia's shout.
"Stop it!"
It was going to be fatal if he kept going.
A faint sound emanated from the direction of the bathroom.
Sofia perked up her ears. "Antonio, it sounds like Sarah is in the bathroom!"
Upon hearing Sarah's name, Antonio's expression slightly eased, and he quickly kicked open the bathroom door.
Sarah was immersed in the bathtub filled with ice cubes, shivering from the cold.
Antonio trembled all over, rushed over, and knelt down to lift Sarah out of the bathtub.
"Sarah, what are you doing here?" His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed against sandpaper, filled with extreme regret and fear.
He wrapped his coat around Sarah and found a towel to dry her off, his hands trembling nonstop.
Seeing this, Sofia poured a glass of water for Sarah and discreetly left the hotel.
Perhaps the ice had effectively lowered Sarah's body temperature, as she appeared to be conscious.
She took a sip of warm water, her eyes teary, and stared at Antonio. "Bastard! Why did you come so late?"
In fact, Sarah knew early on that Antonio had followed her on the plane.
Being Antonio's assistant, she knew more about his schedule than he did. How many plane tickets Valencia Inc. booked, which hotel room they were in—how could she not know?
Moreover, she understood him so well.
She hadn't exposed him simply to see when he would show up.
Originally, Sarah wanted to mock him after revealing his pettiness.
But now, she was absolutely certain that Antonio had followed her!
However, she really didn't expect Asa to do such a thing!
When she confronted Asa earlier, she still had had some confidence that nothing would happen to her. After all, she firmly believed that Antonio would come and save her once he realized she was missing!
Upon hearing Sarah's words, Antonio's eyes filled with guilt, and his eyes became watery.
Sarah had been waiting for him all along, even willing to immerse herself in ice cubes. Did this mean she hadn't...
"I'm sorry, Sarah, I arrived late... Are you okay? You're okay, right?"
Antonio tightly clenched his fist and lightly kissed her wet hair, trying his best to keep his hand from shaking.
Sarah buried her face deep into his chest. "I'm fine... I've been waiting for you. Bastard! Weren't you following me closely at the airport?!"
"Sorry, it's my fault. You can hit and scold me! Just don't scare me like that again..."
After embracing tightly for a moment, Sarah exerted effort to rise and dress herself. With Antonio's assistance, she exited the bathroom.
Asa remained slumped, appearing to have fainted.
Sarah walked past him with disgust and took her phone from beside the pillow. She then told Antonio about what had just happened.
"After we finished drinking, I started feeling unwell, and Asa came over and offered to take me to rest.
"I couldn't resist, so I secretly turned on the phone's recording. Everything is recorded here. You can listen to it yourself."
Sarah frowned. Although she never had any romantic feelings for Asa, she still regarded him as her respected senior. Avoiding him was only to prevent Antonio from feeling jealous and to express her stance on relationships.
But Sarah never expected that Asa would actually do something so outrageous!
Now, when she felt dizzy and disoriented at that business reception not long ago, was it also related to him?
At that moment, the police arrived promptly and restrained the unconscious Asa. Together with Antonio, they played the phone recording.
Asa's every word was captured, and Sarah's strained noises made it evident that he had tried to drug her.
The charges were enough to put him in jail.
Antonio listened to the recording with heavy breathing, his eyes bursting with intense hatred.
When Asa revealed sending the photos to Antonio, the latter's fingers involuntarily clenched, as if he could crush the phone with a little force.
"Get away from me!"
"Ah!"
Sarah's angry rebuke followed by Asa's cry echoed at the end of the recording.
It was evident that Sarah had made great efforts to break free from Asa's control.
Antonio embraced Sarah, hearing her heart-wrenching cries, and wished to tear Asa into pieces right away.
"We understand the situation. Once the suspect regains consciousness, we will provide both of you with an update."
After making a statement, the police took Asa away.
Antonio and Sarah returned to the car, but the tension on Antonio's face hadn't eased.
Sarah held a cup of hot milk in her hands, her eyes shimmering with watery light.
After what happened, Sarah felt the missing piece between her and Antonio had finally come together.
She sighed heavily and spoke, her tone weighed down.
"Antonio, what exactly happened between you and Asa before? Tell me everything in detail."
