Chapter 94 An Uninvited Guest

I discreetly opened the door, slipping out of that private room and back into the main hall.

Then I carried on as if nothing had happened, warmly greeting the guests and old clients.

The long–time clients had become like family to us, supporting the entire Murphy family

over the years.

Everyone in the Murphy family was beaming with pride, especially Matthew. He proudly

introduced our daughter to the guests, and I shook my head in disbelief.

He thought that dressing Ava up like a little lady made her one. I was sure many people

were watching. the recent social media buzz. However, I hadn’t caught a glimpse of

As Ava sat on her grandmother’s lap, people were admiring her. My daughter’s angelic

and apprehension. What was this man up to? Why insist on meeting me in the guest

room?

I stepped aside from the crowd and answered the call. He commanded from the other end,

“Hurry

upstairs. Now!”

Before I could say a word, he hung up. I was frustrated. How dare he boss me around like

that? I breathed

deeply while scanning the hall. Curiosity drove me out of the grand hall and into the

elevator to the eighth-

floor guest rooms.

me into his embrace and made a silencing motion.

Not daring to make a sound, I nestled against him. Although I listened closely to the

sounds outside, the

We waited ten minutes before hearing voices in the corridor. He pointed to the peephole,

and I looked

out. Unexpected visitors had arrived, some of whom were carrying cameras.

I was baffled! Even more so when I saw the woman leading the group.

Incredulous, I turned to Atlas. He quickly turned my head back and whispered, “Watch

closely!”

I pressed against the door, and he pressed against me. It was an awkward position, but I

“Shh,” Atlas said.

The woman I saw was Lauren, who had been injured a few days earlier in a fight with

Matthew. It seemed her injuries had almost healed. She was directing the sizable group to

the room across from ours.

Moreover, I noticed that among the later arrivals were our own guests. A sense of unease

washed over me. Just then, Lauren signaled to one of the young men and pointed at the

door, saying, “Open it!”

My mind was a mess. Was she trying to expose an affair? The young man unlocked the

door with a room

keywithout hesitation. The crowd rushed in as soon as the door opened!

I realized something and quickly left Atlas’s embrace. I rushed out of the room, lifting my

dress as I ran.

As soon as I left the room, I heard a woman scream from the other room, followed by a

man yelling, “W-
