Chapter 32
At that moment, Stephanie glanced in Vincent’s direction. A group of big shots were surrounding him. She felt the timing was just right. If Vincent discovered something was amiss, the ones behind the scenes would not dare to act rashly and reveal themselves.
With Julianna in tow, she rose from her seat, their steps slightly unsteady as they made their way to the restroom.
Julianna felt a surge of energy returning to her body, and the heat seemed to have dissipated.
In a voice only audible to them, she whispered, “Stephie, how’s my drunk walking?”
Stephanie chuckled softly. “It’s convincing enough.”
“I’m a little excited. When do you think we’ll be caught?” Julianna asked.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Before she could reply, four men came up from behind. They grabbed their arms, pulled them into the lounge, and locked the door.
The four men threw Stephanie and Julianna on the sofa, and stood in front of the couch, undoing their belts and uttering lewd remarks.
Stephanie sniffed the air. The room was filled with essential oil, heavily laced with aphrodisiacs. The mastermind behind this had taken extra precautions, fearing she would not fall for their trap.
Stephanie saw a video camera not far from the couch. She narrowed her eyes, quickly stood up, and ran to the side.
Two of the men ran after her. With a swift motion, Stephanie incapacitated them with a flick, causing them to collapse before they could reach her.
The other two men rushed forward, but they fell to the ground before reaching Stephanie.
Stephanie signaled to Julianna, who s a g g e e d and moved out of the video camera’s range.
“What now?” asked Julianna, mouthing.
Stephanie turned off the video camera and stood by the door, leaving it slightly ajar. “Let’s lay a trap.”
In the neighboring lounge, Lucianna watched as the two women on the screen disappeared, and the room fell silent. Frowning, she stood up.
“These idiots can’t even handle such a simple task. What else are they capable of?” Lucianna muttered. “Anyway, those two b**s are unconscious now, so they won’t recognize me.”
Lucianna exited the lounge and looked around. She quickly walked to the next door a

and frowned at the c a c k of the door. “Idiots! Why didn’t they close
As she pushed the door open, she was suddenly blinded by a powdery substance. Before she could react, a sharp blow struck her neck, and she crumpled to the ground.
Julianna asked, “What’s that powder?”
Stephanie raised an eyebrow. “Itching powder. An eye for an eye. If someone crosses me, I’ll retaliate.
“Do you have a history with her?” asked Julianna.
Stephanie nodded, briefly recounting the incident at the mall and the subsequent beating of Lucianna by the man’s wife.
“This woman is despicable,” Julianna remarked.

Stephanie looked coldly at the woman on the ground. “Indeed she is, but the ones behind her are even worse
Julianna glanced at her. “Don’t tell me that Florence instructed her.”

Who else? How else could Lucianna have infiltrated this event?” Stephanie replied, dragging Lucianna to the couch and tossing her onto it. She then removed the silver needles from the necks of the unconscious men.
After that, she gave Julianna a meaningful look. “They’ll wake up soon. The show is about to begin.”
Before leaving, Stephanie turned on the video camera,
She gave Giovanni a call. “Handle the situation in the lounge for us. Cover our tracks.”
“No problem,” replied Giovanni.
At the banquet hall, Florence saw Stephanie and Julianna s t a g g e r i n g toward the restroom. A malicious gleam flickered in her eyes. She thought. That d a m n b** h humiliated me. Tonight, I’m ruining her.”
Setting down her highball glass, she walked over to Lorelai’s side. “Mrs. Fletcher, I saw Stephie and M. Saunders heading toward the restroom. Then, it seemed like four men followed therm. It’s been quite a while now, and I’m worried about their safety”
Upon seeing the shrewdness in Florence’s eyes, Lorelai immediately understood
She suddenly clapped her hands and said to the other noblewomen with rried lock, “I saw four men following Stephanie and Julianna just now. I’m worried about them. Let’s go and have a look”
After exchanging glances, the noblewomen agreed. Their families would prosper if they could rescue Vincent’s fiancée and Saunders Group’s heiress

Lorelai and Florence led the group to a lounge. As they approached, they heard moans of pleasure coming from inside.
Florence grabbed Loretai’s arm, looking terrified. “Mrs. Fletcher, I think I heard Stephw’s voice
Frowning, Lorelai said, “Are you sure it’s Stephanie’s voice?!

After exchanging glances, they were about to leave when Zane pushed Vincent over.
Zane asked, “Is something wrong?”
Florence pursed her lips, acting like she was in a dilemma. “Stephie… Stephie seems to be inside.”
Just then, the woman in the lounge moaned, “Oh! That feels so good.”
Florence looked at Vincent, “Don’t worry, Vincent, it might not be Stephie after all.”
Vincent’s sharp eyes narrowed. “If you’re not sure, why mention Stephie?”
“L.. I thought it sounded like her,” Florence bit her lip.
In Vincent’s narrow eyes gleamed a piercing coldness, “What if it’s not her?”
Tears welled up in Florence’s eyes. “I… I came here because I was worried about Stephie’s safety.”
A cold snort escaped Vincent’s nostrils. “If it’s not Stephie, you’ll kneel and apologize to her three times.”
Lorelai was not necessarily defending Florence, but since Florence was engaged to Douglas, she would be indirectly humiliated if Florence was humiliated. She saw the look in Florence’s eyes just before and knew she was confident. “Right now, our priority is to rescue Stephie. We cannot let this matter leak out. Mr. Quinlan, please help open the door,” she said.
Zane looked at Vincent, who nodded and then walked over to press the door handle, pushing it open.
Lorelai and Florence rushed to take a look. Inside, they saw a naked woman clutching her face like a bloated gourd, straddling a man.
The other three men stood by, caressing the woman’s body.
Florence couldn’t discem who the woman was and thought it was Stephanie. Tearfully, she looked at Vincent. “Someone must have done this to Stephie, Vincent. Please don’t blame her…”
At that moment, someone patted Florence on the shoulder. “Then tell me, who did this to me?”
Florence turned around and widened her eyes in horror. “Stephie! How…”
