Chapter 271


    Chapter 271


    Shifting his gaze on the pair of hands that were grabbing tightly onto his arm, Samuel discreetly


    shrugged off Susan‘s hands.


    Back then, he did not mind that she held his arm this way since he treated her as his sister, and more


    importantly, he did not have a beloved woman then.


    But it was no longer the same now.


    He was now taken.

    He had to steer himself away from any ambiguous behaviors or situations.


    In contrast, Susan was both shocked and upset by Samuel‘s action. But on second thought, she felt


    better afterforting herself that Samuel would soon see Natalie sleeping with another man.


    And when that happened, she would stay by his side so that she could make the heartbroken man fall in


    love with her.


    Shortly after, some people from the Leister family made their way over too.


    There were Alfred, Wyatt, Joycelyn, and Phoebe‘s parents.


    Contrary to the crowd, Alfred had humiliation written all over his face. He was furious to learn that such a


    disgraceful ac? had happened in the Leister family‘s territory.


    “Hurry! Separate this scumbag and wench, Edwin!” Alfred was infuriated.


    “Got it.”


    Edwin went up to the couch and pulled the man and woman, who were both still in a groggy state, apart.


    At one nce, Edwin immediately recognized that the woman was Phoebe. Puzzlement swamped him


    so much he stood frozen at the spot for a long time. Having served the Leister family for so many years,


    he could not bear to see them in embarrassment. He wanted to do what he could to protect Phoebe from


    everyone‘s view.


    “Edwin, why are you standing there?” Alfred yelled.


    “I–I...” Edwin could not bring himself to say anything.


    “Move aside. I want to see for myself who these two imbeciles are!” Edwin‘s silence only made Alfred


    blow his top off.


    Despite so, Edwin clenched his teeth tight and did not budge.


    Noticing Edwin‘s reaction, Susan frowned. What on earth is he doing over there without moving?!


    A vortex of anger swirled inside Alfred as Edwin still stood motionless, refusing to move at all.


    “Get lost!” Alfred shoved Edwin aside.


    Following that, the crowd squeezed closer to get a better look at the faces of the pair.


    The man was unattractive and had hideous facial features. What made it worst was how he had a


    raunchy and indecent vibe from head to toe.


    However, everyone could recognize the woman with one nce.


    “Oh my gosh! Isn‘t that Phoebe?”


    “Yeah! Wow, I can‘t tell she‘s such a person! Why would she do such a shameless act?”


    “She looks so innocent; yet, she engages in such a shameless thing behind everyone‘s back!”


    “That guy looks so horrible, but Phoebe still sleeps with him. Wow. Is she just not picky? Or does she


    have a peculiar taste for men?”


    Upon realizing that it was Phoebe, George and Winnie dashed over to the couch. George hurriedly took


    off his coat and put it on his daughter.


    “Phoebe, why would you...”


    “Phoebe, get a hold of yourself.”


    Winnie was pinching Phoebe so tightly thetter was eventually jolted back to realization and gradually


    opened her eyes.


    The only thing she remembered was that she was preparing to leave after seeing Natalie lying


    unconscious on the couch. Anything after that was a hazy memory to

    her.


    “Dad, Mom, why are you all.”


    Before she couldplete her sentence, Phoebe suddenly realized that she had George‘s coat draped


    over her body. She had nothing on below that. Beside her, the man was also undressed and trying to


    catch his breath.


    She quickly swept her gaze across the crowd, where she spotted countless pairs of eyes filled with


    contempt and mockery fixated on her.


    At once, Phoebe began shuddering in fear, seemingly recalling what had happened.


    “N–No... Things aren‘t like what you think... I–I didn‘t do it!”


    Tears were rolling down her face uncontrobly as she tried to defend herself. However, everyone


    present seemed to trust their eyes more than her words.


    As a man who had married into the Leister family, George had spent years earning his respects from the


    others gradually. It was not an easy feat for him; unfortunately, his daughter had be his greatest


    shame now.


    Unable to restrain his rage any longer, he served a merciless p across Phoebe‘s face.


    “Phoebe Leister, shut up!”
