Chapter 953


    "What happened afterward?" Pearl asked, her curiosity piqued.


    "I covered for Beah and helped her sessfully escape to meet with Max. Then, I took a secluded


    path home, one without any surveince cameras. Even if I returned home, no one would realize I


    had left," Saule exined, a hint of nostalgia in her voice. "I wasn''t afraid of being caught. At most, I


    would face a minor punishment. But I wanted to buy them more time, to make sure they could


    escape far away without being discovered."


    Saule continued, "Unfortunately, I ran into someone on my way home." Her expression darkened as


    she recounted the encounter.


    Pearl knew what kind of unspeakable thing had happened the moment Saule made that statement.


    Saule deliberately chose a secluded path to avoid detection. However, the darkness of the path


    made it difficult to discern who was ahead. Saule heard footsteps approaching but dismissed them


    as those of a passing servant.


    But when she came face to face with the person, she realized he was intoxicated.


    "I could smell the wine on his breath," Saule recalled, her voice tinged with unease.

    Being naturally cautious around men, Saule tried to pass by discreetly. But the man suddenly


    grabbed her wrist.


    "Tell me, don''t I deserve Beah?" the man slurred, his gaze intense under the moonlight.


    Saule recognized him as a Waldorf, someone she had seen in the backyard.


    "I don''t know. Don''t ask me." Saule stepped away, attempting to free herself from his grasp.


    Unfortunately, her efforts exposed her under the moonlight, making her clearly visible to the man.


    "Beah, it''s you. Beah..." The man gazed down at Saule with intense longing.


    "I''m not Beah. You''ve mistaken me for her." For reasons she couldn''t exin, his presence filled her


    with unease.


    "No, you''re Beah. I''ve told you before, I love you more than anyone. Don''t marry my brother. Marry


    me, okay?"


    Suddenly, he hugged her tightly, the overpowering scent of wine swirling around her, making her


    head spin.


    "Stop. I''m not Beah." Saule sensed the looming threat and attempted to push him away, but her


    efforts were in vain.


    "Beah, as long as I have you, you''ll be with me forever, right?" the man slurred.


    Once this thought solidified in the man''s mind, he clung to it obsessively. His actions escted


    beyond mere words; he began to tug at her clothes aggressively.


    Regret filled Saule as she found herself in this dangerous situation. If only she had chosen a


    different path, she wouldn''t have encountered him.


    "Beah, remember, I''m the one who loves you the most..."
