Chapter 228
Who Was It? Who the Hell Was It?!
When Claire Bennett woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. She jolted upright, but accidentally pulled at her body.
It hurt so much! Could it be that she...
She abruptly lowered her head to look, just in time to see the blanket slip off her body, revealing a delicate figure covered in suggestive marks. The clear traces on her fair skin plainly told her what had just happened.
Her mind buzzed instantly, and she felt as if she'd been struck by lightning.
Her first time was gone!
Claire Bennett nearly broke down as she grabbed at her long hair, unable to accept this reality. She was panicked and frantic, not knowing why this had happened.
Who had defiled her?
Her memory went back to the instant before she lost consciousness. In the restroom, she'd felt that something was wrong with her body, and after that, she had no memory at all.
Who was it? Who the hell was it?!
Could it have been those two strange men?
At that possibility, Claire Bennett's entire face went deathly pale, and she felt like she was about to faint on the spot. Her mind was in complete chaos now, and she had no idea what to do.
There was only one thought in her head: she had to get out of here!
Claire Bennett dragged her exhausted body out of bed. Her original evening gown was lying nearby, so she could only put it on first and leave this place, making sure she was safe before anything else.
After she opened the door, two voices sounded out.
Claire Bennett hurriedly ducked into a corner to the side, and she heard the two voices clearly carry over...
"The manager just told us to come clean up, but we can't disturb the woman inside. Do you think she's awake yet?"
"No idea. How about we wait a little longer?"
"If we don't get this cleaned up in time, the manager will punish us when he finds out."
"Then should we go in and take a look?"
As they spoke, the two of them walked up and knocked, then opened the door and went in. It was the very room Claire Bennett had just come out of.
Only after they went inside did Claire Bennett step out from the corner.
She thought back on what the two of them had just said.
Those two had said their manager sent them to clean, and they had gone into the room she'd just left. It sounded like someone had saved her.
Could it be that she hadn't been violated by those two attendants after all?!
But now some stranger had taken her virginity, which wasn't any better. Her innocence was still gone.
Claire Bennett's heart sank to the bottom. Her lips pressed into a straight line, and her whole body grew increasingly agitated.
This estate was open for business to the public, and there were quite a few people here today. Besides the private gathering of Chicago socialites, there should have been other people here too.
Trying to find one person was simply too hard!
Could it be...
Thinking of the person she'd run into at the gathering just now, Claire Bennett's face turned even paler. She didn't want to believe that answer.
Even though she hadn't been conscious, she had still been able to sense an aura that made her feel very safe. Given how much she loathed Ethan Sterling now, it couldn't possibly have been him. She was so disgusted by Ethan Sterling that she absolutely would never have tolerated him getting close to her without reacting at all.
For some reason, Claire Bennett just had this strong sixth sense.
If it wasn't Ethan Sterling, then who could it have been?
She clenched her fists, filled with a feeling of despair and humiliation.
At that moment, the two attendants who had gone inside came back out after not seeing Claire Bennett in the room. Claire Bennett immediately snapped back to herself, walked up to them, and asked, "Do you know who saved me?"
When the two women saw Claire Bennett appear, they froze for a moment, then shook their heads. "We don't know."
"Miss, no one can use this room except our boss. He's the only one authorized to open it."
Claire Bennett hurriedly pressed, "Your boss? What's his name? What does he look like? Where is he now?"
The two female attendants were just cleaning staff. There was no way they could have access to that level of information. The one who dealt with them was Kinley Estate's manager, so faced with Claire Bennett's questions, they could only shake their heads blankly.
Having failed to get any useful information, Claire Bennett felt like she was on the verge of a complete breakdown.
What she knew now was that the person who had taken her virginity was not those two attendants, but someone she didn't know.
Now wasn't the time to think about any of that. She had to leave first!
Claire Bennett didn't linger any longer and turned to leave at once.
Just as she reached the doorway, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly.
"Claire."
She lifted her eyes and saw a familiar figure.
