Suddenly, everyone could see the intimate scene taking place in the lounge. A bald man with a pot belly and a sleazy appearance was entangled with Lorna.
The sound of the door being kicked open had startled the bald man. He turned to see an enraged Connor and Fiona, followed by many guests. The sight terrified the bald man instantly.
"Mr. Presgrave, it… it was Ms. Presgrave who seduced me first."
The bald man immediately released Lorna, who had already lost her senses due to the aphrodisiac. She completely disregarded everyone else in the room as she leaned forward to hug him.
"Don't go…"
Seeing this made Fiona feel as if she had been struck by lightning. She froze on the spot, wondering where the hell Bernard had disappeared to.
"Ms. Presgrave is still young. She usually looks rather innocent and adorable. I never expected her to be so improper."
"She's so wild. There's no difference between her and a waitress at the nightclub."
"The Presgraves have truly ruined the reputation of the prestigious families in Jedburgh."
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ms. Presgrave's father had an illegitimate son with his mistress. Moreover, her mother also slept her way to the top. If Mr. Presgrave Senior had not left behind enough assets back then, the Presgraves would've gone bankrupt a long time ago."
The guests gossiped while a swarm of reporters came out of the elevator, frantically taking photos. That night, photos of Lorna being publicly entangled with another man made headlines in the tabloids.
Tyler smirked while watching the news in the underground parking lot. The delight in his eyes was unmistakable as he grinned rather sinisterly.
…
Meanwhile, Douglas parked the car in the courtyard of Youngworth Miracle Clinic. He got out of the car and opened the back seat door.
He said, "Bernard, Ms. Youngworth, we've arrived."
