Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 7 Her Meticulously Crafted Plan

Sebastian slid his cell phone into his pocket with a swift motion, grabbed his car keys from the table, and made a beeline toward the hotel with a determined stride.

If anything were to happen to her… If even a single strand of her hair was harmed, I’ll make sure Christopher faces some dire consequences!

In the meantime, Madelyn had quietly exited the private room, but contrary to expectations, she did not head toward the restroom. Instead, she stealthily moved to a secluded corner of the hallway.

It only took a few moments before she spotted Christopher discreetly tailing her. Observing her leave, he looked around cautiously and then proceeded directly into the ladies’ restroom.

This was exactly what Madelyn had anticipated. She was all too familiar with Janessa’s manipulative schemes from her previous life. Initially, Janessa had orchestrated a scenario where she ended up in Christopher’s arms while inebriated, followed by strategically booking a room, and then ensuring Sebastian was summoned to witness the unfolding drama. By this time, Sebastian was undoubtedly on his way.

Shortly thereafter, Janessa appeared as well.

Madelyn watched her from the shadows, a sneer forming inside her. It was almost pitiful how she had once regarded Janessa as her closest friend. Considering the effort Janessa had put into this setup, Madelyn decided it shouldn’t go to waste.

With calculated intent, she sent a message to Christopher: Christopher, I’m feeling drunk and awful. Could you come to Room 6318?

Room 6318? Upon receiving the message, Christopher retrieved the room card Janessa had provided earlier. He confirmed the room number matched the one Madelyn had texted. It appeared everything was in order.

Given how she was all dolled up today, I thought she’d dismiss me, thinking she’s now out of my league. But judging from her message, it seems she still can’t forget about me!

Buoyed by this thought, he promptly made his way to the room.

Everything was set according to their initial plan. Now, both Janessa and Madelyn had the same objective—to await Sebastian’s arrival.

Fifteen minutes later, a gleaming luxury sedan pulled up sharply, parking smoothly beneath the hotel awning.

As Sebastian emerged from the vehicle, his presence was commanding, radiating an intense aura of authority. Although his face bore signs of anxiety and displeasure, these emotions did not detract from his inherent charisma, reminiscent of a natural-born leader.

Janessa, having been at the hotel for some time, was confident everything had been arranged flawlessly.

Seeing Sebastian, she quickly approached him. “Sebastian! You’re finally here. I just went to knock on their door, but there was no response from inside. Sebastian, it’s a man and a woman alone in a room… do you think they might have… well, you know…”
