One Night Surprise

Chapter 514

Chapter 514 To Put Yourself in Her Shoes

When Courtney hung up her phone, her indifferent face now had a hint of anger.

“Is this what you meant when you said Angie returned safely to the dormitory?”

At this point, Samuel stayed silent; he was speechless.

His life had been smooth sailing ever since he was born. Even in university, he readily took up the post of the president of the debate club due to his excellent abilities and extensive networks.

He held the belief that everyone could achieve great things in life through hard work and did not expect any troubles like tonight.

Courtney wasn’t surprised to see the frustration that was suddenly seen in his eyes. She shook the phone in her hand and said, “I’ve recorded all the calls just now. Once those thugs are caught, the police will get their confessions out of them. By then, your classmate, Casey, would not only be expelled, but she would also be at risk of going to jail.”

She paused for a while before continuing, “To be precise, if Angie wants to press charges, Casey will definitely be in jail. I will make sure she regrets what she did today for the rest of her life.”

As she spoke, the fingers that held the steering wheel tightened slightly, and the inconvertible firmness in her gaze put Samuel at a loss for words. The phone in his pocket vibrated just as he struggled to find a word to say.

The moment he saw the caller ID, his eyes sank.

“What’s the matter, Casey?”

Casey’s voice sounded like she had been crying on the other end of the phone.

“Angie is in room 702 of the J Hotel. I’ve tried to call June, but she isn’t answering her phone. Hurry up and save her.”

Samuel felt his heart skip a beat and subconsciously repeated the address out loud. As soon as he spoke, the car’s engine roared, and the car sped down the road.

About 15 minutes later, he kicked open the room door of 702, and Courtney rushed in. When she saw the scene on the bed, she subconsciously pushed the boy, who was following behind her, out.

“You wait at the door.”

Samuel immediately understood and quickly stepped back.

June, who was holding a camera across the bed, was taken aback by the sudden movement. Then, just as she got up, she was slapped across the face and onto the floor by an angry Courtney.

The camera fell not far away, and the screen was shattered. June, whose face burned from the slap, tried to stand up to fight back but was punched twice in the face instead.

After Courtney threw two punches, she clenched her sore fists and glared at June.

“Have you lost your mind?!” June yelled; the corners of her mouth and eyes were starting to bruise. However, Courtney continued to stare at her and asked coldly, “Why are you doing this?”

Immediately, June snorted and looked at Angie, who was naked on the bed, and grinned proudly.

“A sl*t like her that seduces someone’s boyfriend deserves this, don’t you think?”

While June was talking, Courtney had already covered Angie with the comforter. At the same time, Courtney picked up the camera on the ground, took out the memory card, and flushed it down the toilet

bowl.

She was swift and decisive with her actions, but June seemed unbothered. She had already gotten up from the ground and wiped the faint blood from the corner of her mouth.

“Do you think this is over just because you flush the memory card down?”

As she said this, she took her phone out, which triggered Courtney. She almost went berserk as she reached out to grab the phone from June. However, June sneered, and her following sentence diminished the last trace of patience in Courtney’s heart.

“So what if you take my phone? I uploaded all the photos I took into the cloud. I can retrieve them anytime, anywhere.”

Courtney’s gaze turned cold, and she realized that this was not the solution to the problem, so she decided to call Alexander directly.

“Alex, is everything settled?”

“……”

June couldn’t hear what this ‘Alex’ said, but she could listen to the other side of the conversation as Courtney didn’t bother leaving the room as she made the call.

“There’s one more thing that I’d need your help with. Send a few men to room 702 of the J Hotel.”

After she hung up the phone, she pushed through her exhaustion and continued in a slightly impatient tone, “This could’ve been resolved simply, but you clearly prefer the harder route. I’ll fulfill your wish.”

At this moment, June seemed to realize that something was wrong. She got up and wanted to leave the room but was unexpectedly blocked by Samuel, who had been standing at the door.

His current face wasn’t a pretty sight. Although he didn’t enter the room, he still heard bits and pieces of the argument between the two. After he thought about it, he knew this was all because of him.

“I’m sorry, June, but I can’t let you leave.”

June’s eyes widened in anger when she heard this.

“You’re stopping me for that girl?!” She cried as she pointed to the bed behind her.

“You and Casey had been under my wing. I know about the relationship between the two of you, and I’ve always been very supportive of it. However, this Angie girl had only shown up for a few months, and look what you’ve become for her? Is this girl that good? Or did I misjudge you from the beginning?”

As she was talking, her eyes started to turn red-rimmed. She seemed to be blaming Samuel for this, yet at the same time, it seemed like she was letting out some emotion that she had repressed in her heart for a long time that had nothing to do with him.

“You didn’t misjudge me. You’ve just misunderstood the relationship between Casey and me.”

“Stop lying to me. How can you not know what she thinks of you? You clearly knew about it yet pretended like you had no idea. Although I’ve retired from the student union, it doesn’t mean that my words have no weight to them. If you’re smart enough, you should take the initiative to step down as the debate club president. Otherwise, I’ll make sure nothing good happens to you.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After her warning, she grabbed her bag angrily and was about to barge out, but Samuel followed suit and still steadily blocked her way.

“We can talk about the student union later. But for now, I can’t let you go.”

At this point, June was almost choking on her rage. But, since she couldn’t reason with this blockhead of a man, she was going to force her way out.

Not long after, a sound of uniformed steps echoed in the hotel hallway, and a shadow loomed over June’s head. Again, Elijah’s faint smell of cologne crept up her nose; this time, she had nowhere to run.

He glanced at her lightly; she was like a frightened rabbit. Then, in his domineering presence, she seemed to fall silent as she realized that things were moving in a different direction.

Then, he raised his gaze and saw Courtney, who had just appeared behind them.

“Courtney, I’m here.”

Courtney had already dressed Angie by then. As soon as Courtney saw Elijah, she gestured toward the bed lightly. “Send someone to bring Angie back to the Duncan Residence first.”

Then, she pointed at June, who was nearby.

“This person took photos of Angie, which are stored in the cloud. So, she can retrieve it any time.”

Elijah frowned slightly when he heard this and made way for a few of his men to drag June back to the room.

“What are you guys doing? Have you lost your mind? I’m going to call the police!”

June began yelling and kicking her legs in the air, seeming like she had lost control. However, she could not fight back, and her hands and feet were quickly tied to the chair by one of the men.

Courtney glared at her coldly and caught the terrified look in June’s eyes. At this moment, she felt that this whole situation was absurd to the highest degree.

“So you know what fear is as well? If you aren’t put into her shoes, I’m afraid you’ll never learn how hopeless a person could feel when something like this happens to them.”

“Strip her,” Courtney uttered these two words faintly as her eyes turned cold.

This made June scream out threats hysterically; her pink, smug face was now as white as snow. Then, after struggling and failing, she began begging for mercy as she kicked her legs back and forth. In the end, the chair toppled and fell to the ground, bringing her body along with it.
