Chapter 75

Just then, Aurelia saw a figure hiding behind the potted plants. The figure was none other than Kimberly. It seemed she had led this drunken man astray.

Even if something happened later, he can always blame it on being too drunk. Only they knew what they had discussed, and the man would not be foolish enough to reveal it in public.

However, the surveillance cameras had captured the sight of Aurelia accepting the man’s invitation to drink. It will be hard for her to explain later.

Aurelia’s anger surged, and since she couldn’t match his strength, she had to rely on her wits. She suddenly called out, “Kimberly, you’re here! Please save me!”

This shout startled Kimberly, causing her to retract behind the potted plants. It also made the man pause for a moment.

Taking advantage of the situation, Aurelia delivered a swift kick to the man’s groin, the most vulnerable spot for men.

The man winced in pain, dropping the glass of red wine he held, and grimaced at Aurelia. Seizing the opportunity, Aurelia quickly ran. But in her panic, she headed in the wrong direction, away from the banquet hall and into a less populated area.

Fortunately, an elevator was nearby. Aurelia rushed inside, closing the door as the man tried to follow her.
