The capital of Country Z, City J, was an international metropolis, while Imperial Hotel was situated on Glory Street.
Someone hurriedly came into the room.
He slammed the door and locked it.
The room was pitch black. Carol Keith groped her way to the bathroom to take a cold bath so as to cool her sexual desire.
Damn it. Tiara Keith and Samson Hall's plot against Carol failed during the day, but they tried again at night. 'Well played. If I get through, I will definitely not let you get away with it!'
Carol didn't come out until nothing was wrong with herself. After she took a few steps, she suddenly heard a hoarse voice. "Scram!" Carol couldn't figure out his tone.
"Save me. I'll leave after tonight."
The man did not reply after a long while.
Carol asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
There was no response.
Carol was afraid that she would get involved if something happened to this person, so ventured forward. As soon as she arrived at the sofa, a dense smell of alcohol filled her nose.
"Are you drunk?" Carol was a little annoyed.
After she finished complaining, the man's eyes suddenly opened. Before Carol figured out what was happening, he grabbed her and rolled down from the sofa, pressing her to the ground.
Carol...
Fortunately, the man didn't move after he pressed against her.
Carol struggled as much as she could before she escaped.
She didn't dare to stay any longer after this incident. But before she left, she somehow wanted to see what he looked like.
She clicked on the phone screen and took a picture.
The next second, Carol's hand trembled, leaving her phone heavily to land on the man's handsome face.
...
The man who had fallen asleep frowned and let out a cry in his dream.
Carol picked up her phone as fast as she could and fled in a panic.
Heavens! The person she just bumped into was her husband, Nathan Scott. They had just been married for less than half a day!
Holy shit! What an unlucky day!
Only after Carol escaped from the hotel did she feel relieved. The room was dark and Nathan got drunk. In no way would he recognize her.
The next day.
A grand engagement banquet would be held in Imperial Hotel. The Keiths and the Halls would be connected through the marriage between Carol and Samson.
The phone rang and Carol answered. "Miss Keith, everything is ready."
"Alright, Mark." After hanging up, Carol entered the hotel with cold eyes.
Half a year ago, her parents, who owned Keith Group, suddenly passed away because of an accident. Carol and her younger brother, who was studying abroad, were left. The position of president was temporarily under the control of her uncle, Ruben Keith.
Back then, the Keiths and the Halls started a joint venture. Later on, they split up and developed separately, but each owned 20% of the other's shares.
These shares were for the children of the two families!
If two children from the two families got married, the shares would be owned by both families. But if one betrayed the other or broken off the engagement, they would lose 20% of the shares. In other words, the one who had been cheated on would not only get his complete shares but also 20% of the other party's shares!
As for the one who cheated would only get 80% of his shares!
This was the agreement between the two families.
Carol and Samson were childhood sweethearts, and they were betrothed long ago. The banquet was scheduled for today. But a few days ago, Carol discovered that Samson was with her cousin, Tiara! Tiara was David's daughter.
When Carol saw they were having an affair, she was greatly shocked!
What was more, they even had designs on the 20% shares of the Hall Group in her hands!
On the eve of the engagement banquet, they set her up in order to force her to marry an old man. Carol was taken forcibly to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Fortunately, she was smart and escaped. But she bumped into Nathan!
He directly asked, "Single?"
