I was overjoyed! As expected, my mother and Addy never disappoint.


    I doubted Debra could escape this one!


    I was really excited, so I sped up and reached the door of the room where the incident happened.


    Several bodyguards were stationed at the door, blocking entry with a stern demeanor.


    “ess is restricted to irrelevant parties.


    Please leave.


    ”


    I scowled and raised my voice.


    “Are you blind? Don’t you know who I am? How dare you block my path!” I exuded a tough vibe.


    It seemed I had put them on edge.

    The bodyguards were in a dilemma.


    They seemed unsure, yet they didn’t lower their hands.


    I stood before them, exuding arrogance and challenging them with a threatening stare.


    Eventually, their leader surrendered, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Miss Harrison.


    I’ll go inside and report immediately.


    Please give me a moment.


    ”


    I let out a dismissive snort, turned around, and waited.


    It didn’t take long for the bodyguard to return.


    Just as I anticipated, he respectfully guided me


    and Addy inside.


    I couldn’t help but smile, proud of myself.


    I knew I held a special ce in Andrew’s heart.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have weed me so easily.


    Shirley’s POV:


    With a dismissive nce at the bodyguards, I strode into the room, my head held high in defiance.


    As I approached the doorway, an overwhelming odor assaulted my senses.


    It was a nauseating mix of decay-reminiscent of countless dead rats- and the lingering, heavy musk of s@xual encounters.


    “Eww…”


    Instinctively, I covered my mouth, fighting the urge to gag.


    Addy, looking equally affected, pinched her nose and offered me a reassuring pat on the back.


    “Shirley, if you’re feeling sick, why not rest in the next room? There’s no need to push yourself.


    ”


    But I knew something pivotal awaited me beyond this difort.


    Leaving was not an option.


    Drawing a deep breath, I managed a shaky smile.


    “I’m fine.


    ”


    After all, the impending downfall of Debra, to see her cast out like an unwanted stray, was too critical a moment to miss.


    With thoughts of Debra’s imminent disgrace lessening the room’s stench, I pressed a handkerchief to my mouth and nose and entered with a surge of vindictive pleasure.
