Right after the maid knocked on the door, Krystal screamed inside the room, "Why are you here!"
Tatiana, who thought that Krystal was putting on an act, barged into the room. "Krystal, are you alright?"
Krystal covered her body with the blanket when the door was opened.
Teary-eyed, she pointed at the man who shouldn't be there.
Even her voice was trembling. "W-Why are you here?"
Linus was the only person clueless about the plan, so he didn't know what was going on.
Meanwhile, Mason's expression was grim. He wasn't surprised to see Yale instead of Ethan.
It wouldn't have been that interesting if Ethan was such an easy man to be taken down.
Tatiana looked at Yale, whose torso was bare. Her complexion wasn't any better than Krystal's.
"You … You …" Linus punched him in the face. "Why are you in Krystal's room?"
Yale wore an innocent expression. "Last night, Krystal asked me to come to her room to tell me something. So, I came! But the lights weren't turned on when I entered the room. She threw herself at me and confessed her feelings.
"I had drunk too much, and I was feeling dizzy. Besides, I've liked her for so many years. So, I … I failed to hold myself back."
"No, that's not what happened!" Krystal cried. "I didn't ask you to come. You entered the room yourself!"
"Krystal, are you implying that I forced it on you? Mr. Heath, Mrs. Heath, this is your place. How could I do such a thing? I wouldn't have touched her without her consent."
Krystal slapped him without holding herself back. "Nonsense! You set me up!"
Linus slowly regained his composure. Staring at the scattering clothes, he could tell that the night had been a wild one.
Yale was right about something. If it hadn't been consensual, Krystal could've just screamed.
