Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Shock

When Elliana Lyle woke up, it was already the next morning. She felt groggy from sleep, with multiple areas of her body feeling sore and weak, especially her left cheek, which was faintly aching and seemed swollen.

She twisted her body to sit up from the covers, grabbing her phone off the nightstand. The glaring white light from the phone shone on her face, making her appear unusually pale in the dim environment with blackout curtains tightly drawn.

Elliana’s first reaction: It’s 7 o’clock, time to get up and head to the film crew.

In her phone’s message bar, there were several notifications from Weibo.

Shock! Business Tycoon Simon King caught having an affair with a popular actress in a hotel...

"Who is it?" A confused Elliana was immediately piqued with curiosity and realized who it was after clicking into the page!

An indecent photo of a man and woman had been exposed, showing Simon King with eyes blazing in anger and Timara Zephyr’s eyes blurry, filled with lust. The carefully placed mosaic preserved the last shred of dignity for Timara.

The comments below were dense; without insults, they consisted of appalling vulgarities, labeling Timara as a slut.

Elliana bit her lip, unable to suppress the urge to pat her chest in relief, thankful that it was Timara and not her.

She recalled that she had also been drugged, and her clothes had already been changed, sending a chill through her heart!

But slowly recollecting, it seemed... it was Norman Bennett who had saved her, providing a measure of comfort in her heart.

She turned on the light, got out of bed, and wearing slippers, stepped out of the master bedroom. Upon seeing her come out, Lana hurriedly went to support her.

"Ma’am, are you feeling better?" Lana’s action in supporting her was gentle, her eyes filled with concern.

Elliana shook her muddled head, "It’s nothing, Lana. How did I get back yesterday?"

Seemingly noticing Elliana’s doubts, Lana explained, "It was the young master who carried you back, Ma’am, rest assured."

"Oh~" That’s good, that’s good!

Elliana sat on the sofa and casually asked, "Where’s Norman Bennett? Has he gone out again?"

"Yes, it seems the young master has something important to handle and might be back later." Lana said.

Elliana felt like sitting on the tatami mat to bask in
