Chapter 262
Consequently, the urge to kill Harold suddenly took hold of her.
However, after thinking through the events, she figured that Harold had been drugged by Jose and didn't do it on purpose.
Nonetheless, she was still baffled by how she, too, fell victim to the drug.
It wasn't until she recalled the anonymous phone call that her expression drastically changed.
Just when she wanted to rush into Marilyn's room to wear the latter's clothes before leaving, she felt a sudden jolt of excruciating pain from her lower region the moment she took a step.
Thus, the frowning Autumn was left with no choice but to walk over slowly while wiping off her tears.
After getting changed, she fled the scene at once.
However, upon reaching the entrance, an inexplicable thought struck her, causing her to return to Harold's room. There, she placed the two of them together and covered them with a blanket.
Once she was done, she slipped out of Grandeur Hotel with her face hidden and disappeared into the night.
Around ten at night, it was time for the banquet's final program—the awards ceremony.
With the banquet coming to an end, Jose knew that the time was near. Thus, he attempted to give
Autumn a call so that they could barge in on Harold and Marilyn sleeping together.
To his confusion, no one picked up his repeated calls, and Autumn was also nowhere to be seen.
I'm not waiting for her anymore. I'll just gather a few reporters to expose their liaison. Once Marilyn's name is splashed across the headlines, Autumn will see it for herself.
With that thought in mind, Jose gave a few members of the paparazzi a call, for they were recently hunting for evidence of Marilyn's relationship with her boss, Craig.
Therefore, despite it being late, all of them swarmed to Grandeur Hotel the moment they heard it was a scandal related to her.
Subsequently, Jose—with the room key he had obtained from the hotel staff after paying the latter a small fortune—opened Harold and Marilyn's room door after leading the reporters there.
Once he had ushered all of them in, he slowly inched out of the room.
“No way! They really went all out in bed.”
When the paparazzi saw Harold and Marilyn sleeping on the same bed, covered underneath the same blanket with torn pieces of clothing strewn all over the floor, they were utterly blown away.
The scene had put beyond any doubt what happened between the two of them.
Out of professional habit, the reporters raised their cameras and began snapping away at the unconscious Harold and Marilyn.
The resulting incessant flashes ended up waking Harold.
At the sight of the paparazzi clicking away and the mess in front of him, Harold was dumbfounded.
What came as a greater shock was Marilyn sleeping right beside him.
F*ck, what's going on?
Upon a sudden realization, Harold's expression darkened intensely.
“Get out!” he roared, causing the reporters to suddenly feel a sharp pain in their ear drums. Harold's frosty gaze sent a chill down their spine, and it was as if they were being hunted by a ferocious beast.
Overwhelmed by fear, all of them swiftly vacated the room.
It was then that Harold sprang out of bed and locked the door from the inside.
Meanwhile, Jose, who was standing outside, watched the fleeing reporters with a stunned look on his face.
He grabbed one of them and asked, “What happened to you?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“G-Go in and see for yourself!”
The reporter had barely spoken when he shook off Jose's hand and fled in panic.
