Chapter 258: Fortunately, I Have You to Support Me
Cheyenne listened and felt that this was just a typical club gathering where people accidentally gotdrunk, but there were some suspicious things about it.
For example, why did everyone choose such a high-end hotel? Kate explained that it wasn't herchoice, but rather they all voted together. To accommodate classmates who weren't well-offfinancially, she always compared prices and chose a mid-range restaurant. But this time wasstrange because 90% of the people chose the highest standard Crown Hotel, where the minimumspending for one night was at least four digits.
Cheyenne silently noted this in her heart and circled the word "hotel".
"Can you think of anything else different about your dinner? Like any forgotten details?" Cheyenneasked.
Kate's head tilted slightly as she finally remembered something. "Last night, I don't know whathappened, but Peyton suddenly came up to me with a drink and apologized for something frombefore."
"I didn't think too much at the time, so I drank it... Cheyenne... That drink... Could there have beensomething wrong with it?" Kate asked worriedly.
Cheyenne rubbed her chin while pondering over this question. "It's hard to say. If we can find theglass, then that would be great, but it'd been one night already so we might not be able to find it."
Kate sighed sadly and tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm really useless... Everyone else could figureout what I couldn't..."
Given how seriously hurt Kate was by all of this, Cheyenne comforted her by saying: "It's okay; youcan't blame yourself for everything since humans are bad sometimes."
Cheyenne's current plan was twofold: first, to find Timothy, as Kate had described that she feltfollowed when she was tipsy and heading to the bathroom. Second, was to investigate the hotel, asit might hold forgotten clues. People with access to such upscale establishments were typicallyaffluent.
Kate's voice carried a mixture of fear and concern as she whispered to Cheyenne, "Cheyenne,please don't tell my brother about this. I'm afraid he'll lose it."
"He absolutely will!" Her parents had passed away early, and Eddie was not just her big brother butmore like a father figure. Over the years, Kate had developed a fear of this gentle and caring olderbrother. When he got angry, he wouldn't shout or hit; he'd simply ignore you. For a chatterbox likeKate, Eddie's silent treatment felt like being abandoned by the whole world.
However, Kate was fortunate that even though her grades weren't great, her minor mistakes wereindulged by Eddie. But this situation was different. Her brother had raised her with great care, andhe was undoubtedly going to pursue the matter.
Being a doctor, he had the means to deal with the situation, even if it involved harming someone.Moreover, Eddie had won numerous awards for human anatomy and was known for his surgicalprecision. He could extract a full skeletal structure without spilling a drop of blood, earning himonline comparisons to a skilled chef.
Cheyenne assured Kate, "Alright, you wait for me. I'll get back to you in an hour. Right now, I havean important matter to attend to."
"Thank you, Cheyenne. You've been so patient listening to my ramblings. I must have beenbothering you, calling you this early in the morning. But I didn't have anyone else to talk to about
this. I feel so miserable."
Listening to Kate, Cheyenne's complexion darkened. She furrowed her long, elegantly shapedbrows and replied, "What are you saying? You're not bothering me. We're in this together."
"Back in the day, if it weren't for the two of you as the anchors, I'd have definitely been the last."Kate chuckled. It was embarrassing that Layne's granddaughter had been the last in her class.novelbin
Upon hearing this, Kate's smile froze, and a pang of sadness filled her heart. She had alwayswondered why, despite playing together and being in the lower sets, Cheyenne had scored morethan 100 points than Kate in the college entrance exam, just enough for second-tier universities.Cheyenne explained that was because she was lucky enough. Kate sighed, unable to understandwhy the difference between people was so vast.
Just as Kate hung up the phone, she heard a mocking laugh behind her.
She turned around to see two figures standing behind her, though she didn't know when they hadarrived. The young man was wearing a white school shirt with black suit pants and had short hairthat looked soft in the sunlight. His cold and calm face showed a hint of disappointment as heglanced at her without expression before quickly turning away. It was as if he didn't want to see herat all.
Kate felt very uncomfortable, like someone had cut out half of her heart. This was the first time shehad ever liked someone, and she never expected it to end like this.
Standing beside him was another girl who was elegant and slim with delicate features. She lookedabout the same age as Kate but more mature and charming than herself. Her school skirt had beenintentionally shortened to reveal a little sexiness.
The mocking laughter had come from Peyton. She stood triumphantly beside Graeme, her slenderarm entwined with his, as if they were a perfect couple appearing before Kate.
"Graeme..." Kate opened her red lips slightly, wanting to explain what happened last night butGraeme suddenly interrupted her voice.
"Peyton, let's go."
The coldness and disdain in his eyes towards Kate were palpable; did he really think that she wasjust some casual girl? If so, then why would she have any interest in Timothy? Why couldn'tGraeme listen to what she wanted to say?
Peyton achieved what she wanted; after all, Graeme was an arrogant person who had always beenthis way since childhood - if someone else took his toy away and returned it back, he would throw itinto the trash can because he didn't want anyone else using his toys. The same was true for hislovers.
Kate gave herself to Timothy. How could a rich boy like Graeme possibly want being together withKate?
