Female Novel
Chapter 261
Chapter 261
Esther, accustomed to attending grand events as a star, found herself facing an unprecedented
situation. Pearl initially intended to approach Esther and offer her support, but the dense crowd
prevented her from reaching her friend.
Standing amidst the commotion, Esther appeared vulnerable and distressed, struggling to maintain her
composure.
Suddenly, Esther’s gaze landed on a figure in the comer, intensely staring at her. To her surprise, it was
none other than Mobius, her crush. His gaze conveyed a silent message of reassurance, seemingly
telling her not to be afraid.
Empowered by his unspoken encouragement, Esther’s voice steadied as she addressed the crowd.
“We will thoroughly investigate this matter. If any of you have information about what happened, please
come forward to help prevent severe consequences.” She conducted herself with the grace befitting a
noble young lady of the Sanders family.
However, the immediate priority was to identify the woman involved in the incident. News reporters
raised their phones, capturing the chaotic scene, which was bound to become tomorrow’s headline.
Richard couldn’t help but worry when he realized Pearl was not by his side. He feared that she might
be framed by others. However, he soon calmed down when he saw that woman’s smooth straight hair.
A security guard approached the woman and carefully turned her around. She had fainted from the
ordeal and bore numerous bruises on her fair skin, but her face remained recognizable.
“Sophia?” Several women who knew Sophia couldn’t help but cry out. Despite the horrifying situation,
they still managed to identify her.
Immediately, news reporters seized the opportunity, snapping endless photos of Sophia. Given the
prominence of Arnault Enterprises, there was curiosity about how they would handle this scandal.
Inevitably, people assumed that Sophia had a wild lifestyle since she had such an indecent affair withnovelbin
several men in another’s
house.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Let’s help… Miss Sophia to rest in another room.”
Esther, upon realizing that it was Sophia, felt relief and ease. She had never held any affection for
Sophia, who was known for her flattery and habit of framing Pearl. Esther found her behavior repulsive,
and the turn of events brought a certain
satisfaction.
On the other hand, it was beyond Pearl’s imagination that the woman involved was Sophia. It led her to
a revelation, which she greeted with a wry smile.
Sophia had likely orchestrated this scheme against Pearl, but it had backfired spectacularly.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Richard finally located Pearl at the rear. A sigh of relief escaped him
as he saw that she was unharmed, but concern quickly overtook his features. “Where were you all this
time? What happened?”
Pearl looked around and, finding themselves alone, smirked mischievously. “Sophia drugged me
earlier, but luckily, I always carry an antidote. I managed to neutralize the effects. I initially intended to
investigate what she was up to, but unexpectedly, that waiter led me to the wrong room. That’s how
Sophia got into trouble instead of me.”
Sophia likely never anticipated that her scheme would turn against her, as she was unfamiliar with the
layout of the house. Karma had caught up with her, and she was now reaping what she had sown.
