Chapter 278: Eddie


    Chapter 278: Eddie


    Cheyenne suddenly looked up and smiled, her delicate beauty almost blinding everyone. She


    snapped her fingers, turning theputer screen in a different direction.


    The video had been carefully edited by Jerry, starting from the moment they all entered the hotel. As


    time passed and they started drinking, it became apparent that Kate was getting a bit tipsy, with


    even the casual observer noticing her unsteady steps.


    Then came the pivotal moment. Cheyenne right-clicked on her mouse, fixing her gaze on Peyton,


    her sweet voice sounding like an enchanting spell.


    "Right here, Peyton, you left the main hall and went to the storage area. A man followed you, and


    the door was closed for a total of five minutes. A lot can be discussed in those five minutes, can''t


    they?"


    Her gaze was piercing, and the video showed the person clearly: it was Peyton.


    Graeme had also seen it, but he couldn''t believe it. He still tried to defend her, saying, "Who says


    they were discussing harming Kate? Maybe they were just having a chat."


    Cheyenne lowered her eyelids and shed a sly, mocking smile. "Oh... Did I say they were


    discussing how to harm Kate? My dear, aren''t you incriminating yourself? You really are a poor


    aplice, huh?"


    "You!"


    The young man was left speechless by her remark, realizing that she had set a trap for him.


    Timothy, who had remained silent, suddenly stood up and walked over to theputer. He pointed


    to Peyton in the video. In her hand, she held a small square box that wasn''t clear.


    "Yes, Peyton found me, and we talked in the kitchen. She... She asked if I liked her. I said yes, and


    then Peyton asked me to do something for her. She promised to be my girlfriend if I seeded."


    "What did she ask you to do?" Eddie asked with a smile.


    Timothy turned his gaze towards Eddie, who was smiling yet gave off a slightly creepy vibe.


    Afraid to meet Eddie''s gaze, Timothy turned his guilty eyes towards Kate and, with a flushed face,


    stuttered out aplete sentence.


    "It''s... it''s her. She wanted me to sleep with you, saying she wanted to test something."


    What did she want to test?


    Everyone knew it without needing to ask.


    Kate was taken aback by this shameless request. Did they have no boundaries? Was Peyton using


    Timothy as a pawn to harm her?


    Ridiculous.


    As the words left Timothy''s mouth, Peyton''s face turned fiery red, shockingly pale, and she


    stammered, "No, I didn''t! Principal Shepard, Cousin, don''t believe his nonsense."

    Timothy frowned. "I''m not making things up; I was scared. I can''t do this. You promised me that


    you''d take care of Kate, slip something into her drink. She wouldn''t know anything, and she wouldn''t


    recognize me. If I didn''t go through with it, I wouldn''t be a man."


    Ask yourself, when your secret crush challenges you like this, could you refuse? Otherwise, you''d


    truly be a pathetic loser in her eyes.


    "In that metal box, you put the drugs. I saw you sprinkle it into the water, soak it in the winess,


    and then you carried a bottle of red wine to Kate."


    "I didn''t do it!"


    Peyton persisted in her final defense.


    However, everyone''s thoughts were now focused on how she might have drugged the drinks. She


    was frighteningly clever. If the drug had been in the shared bottles, it could have caused a major


    scandal. But individual wine sses were assumed to belong to specific guests, making it less likely


    that someone else would drink from them. The drugged sses would all be collected for cleaning


    after the banquet, and by the next day, any evidence would be long gone, leaving no trace.


    Cheyenne continued to watch the video on theputer, just as Timothy had described. Five


    minutester, Peyton carried two tall sses, held a bottle of red wine in her left hand, and


    approached Kate.


    The two of them exchanged words, and Kate epted the red wine from Peyton. She used a


    corkscrew to open the bottle and poured it herself.


    Looking back, Kate felt like she had been yed for a fool by this woman. It was ironic that she had


    opened her own poisoned drink.


    "She told me she wanted to apologize for what happened at thest birthday party, so she wanted


    to make amends with a drink. And when she handed me the red wine, she pretended to be


    helpless, saying she couldn''t open it. I didn''t think much of it and epted it," Kate self-mockingly


    said, her eyes burning with anger. "I must have been aplete idiot to believe her nonsense. That


    little bitch must have beenughing on the inside as I drank."


    People eavesdropping outside the door quickly recorded this conversation, recording the video


    while feeling a sense of caution. These days, you really couldn''t trust anyone. Kate had been


    through a lot.


    "I swear I didn''t do it, cousin. You know I wouldn''t. Yes, I don''t like Kate, because she''s always


    unting her wealth, but I wouldn''t do something like this."


    Peyton was desperately holding onto Graeme as her lifeline, but he couldn''t shake off the thought of


    her disappearance for those twenty minutes. He felt agitated.


    "It looks like you''re not giving up, but that''s okay. The most exciting part is yet toe," Cheyenne


    pped her hands and continued with the video.


    The scene reached its climax. Jerry had enhanced the footage for a clearer view of the three


    people. In the corridor, Kate left first, and Timothy followed closely. When he was discovered, he


    forcibly embraced her. Even though she was drunk, she still struggled and even kicked him in a very


    sensitive area. Even through the screen, it was apparent how much it hurt.
