Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 158 After All, I Still Had a Conscience

I peeked out quietly. A guy had his back to me, and the waiter in front of him was turning around with a tray of drinks.

Once the waiter headed into the banquet hall, the guy turned around. I quickly pulled my head back and darted into the restroom. When the footsteps outside faded away, I opened the door and slipped back into the banquet hall.

I spotted the same waiter standing next to Faye, handing her a drink.

Faye was always polite in public, never acting like a diva. From her lip movements, it looked like she thanked the waiter.

The waiter left right after serving the drink, not sticking around for even a second.

Faye clinked glasses with the director next to her and downed the wine without a second thought.

Someone clapped and cheered. "Didn't expect you to be so bold. I like it."

Then, they raised their glass and toasted Faye again.

Staring at the empty glass, I felt like I had a rock stuck in my throat.

I actually wanted to shout out earlier. But for some reason, I hesitated, and the words got stuck.

I figured it was better not to meddle in other people's business and avoid making a fool of myself. After a while, Faye had a few more rounds with them, and her face turned bright red. Ethan seemed deep in conversation on the other side and didn't notice anything else. About ten minutes later, I heard Faye say she was heading to the restroom.

She got up and walked unsteadily; she was probably drunk.

Driven by some impulse, I followed her and saw Faye being carried away by two guys. Faye seemed out cold and didn't resist at all.

Leaning against the wall, I was so nervous I could hear my heartbeat loud and clear.

Faye and I weren't close and could even be considered enemies. In this situation, the best move was to pretend I didn't see anything.

I thought, 'Yeah, just pretend I didn't see anything! Pretend I didn't see anything!'

After mentally prepping myself, I was ready to head back to the banquet hall.

But after a few steps, I stopped again.

After a moment, I turned and quickly ran in the direction where Faye had been taken.

I might be foolish, but I couldn't just ignore it. After all, I still had a conscience.

Whether we were friends or enemies didn't matter; I had to be true to my conscience.

The emergency exit they took was really secluded, so no one would likely pass by. No one noticed Faye being taken away.

Since Faye didn't resist, anyone who saw them would think she was just a drunk being helped by friends.

I followed them to the back door of the hotel, where a van was parked. They tossed Faye into the van and were about to close the door. "You can't take her."

I ran over and grabbed the door.
