A Successful Career After Divorce

“I told you, I’ll take you there! No need to be polite!” Rodolfo pressed her hand and put the phone back into her handbag.

His voice had a strange undertone.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ranita opened her mouth, wanting to shout but found her breathing heavy… Her throat felt stuffed with straw, and her voice came out soft and weak, unable to travel far.

“What… do you want!”

“It’s not what I want!” Rodolfo said innocently. “I just saw you weren’t feeling well and wanted to take you to the lounge! Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you!”

Despite his words, Ranita didn’t believe him at all.

Rodolfo’s gaze was much more intense than before, as if he were eyeing a piece of meat he was determined to get.

Ranita’s heart beat even faster.

She struggled to break free. “No need… I can walk by myself, let me go!”

“If you don’t let me go, I’ll call for help!”

Ranita’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s, even she frowned at how weak it sounded.

She felt really uncomfortable, her head was dizzy, her feet light, and she was very sleepy!

Ranita sensed something was wrong.

Her body had been fine; this sudden change… Could it be that someone had put something in the champagne she drank earlier?

Thinking this, Ranita felt a surge of panic.

“Ranita, I really mean no harm. You look really unwell. Let me take you to the lounge!”

Rodolfo half-carried her. She was limp and powerless, only able to be forcibly taken to the lounge by him.

Ranita now deeply regretted walking alone to such a secluded corner! Everyone was in the banquet hall; the public areas outside were sparsely populated, and with the cover of night, Rodolfo led her down paths where no one was around.

Several times Ranita tried to struggle free but was held down by Rodolfo.

“Rodolfo… let me go… if you dare do anything to me, I won’t let you get away with it.” At this point, Ranita certainly didn’t believe Rodolfo wouldn’t do anything to her.

“Ranita, I told you, I just want to take you to the lounge. I mean no harm.”

Rodolfo walked even faster.

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Shannon was whispering to Chole, “Are you sure everything is set?”

“Of course!” Chole raised an eyebrow. “See that big screen at the front… In a moment, my dear sister will appear on it.”

Chole chuckled softly. “Not just her alone, but with a man in a passionate scene. You should enjoy it!”

A cold smile flashed in Shannon’s eyes.

With so many people in the banquet hall, if they all saw Ranita messing around with a man, Ranita would indeed become the laughingstock of all Steland!

“Really? Then I’ll be sure to watch closely!” Shannon tilted her head, smiling sweetly and innocently.

As they talked, the big screen that had been playing music videos suddenly went black and then changed scenes.

The screen now showed what appeared to be a lounge.

It looked more like a hotel room with a sofa and a bed.

Everyone was stunned, thinking it was a mistake.

“What’s going on?” Benedict found Jedidiah. “Is there some problem?”

Jedidiah frowned and went to find Chole since she was in charge of organizing the banquet.

“Chole…” Jedidiah had just started speaking when everyone in the banquet hall let out a cheer.

It turned out that two people had appeared on the screen.

As the lounge door opened, a tall man in a suit pressed a woman against the door and kissed her…
