Chapter 113 Should Have Thought Of That At First!
Chapter One Hundred and Eleven.
Selena turned red at the sound of those words from the crowd.
She looked round at them all, for the first time realizing how it felt to be wrongly accused.
She remembered how she’d wrongly accused Aria just a few days back. She had never known it was this horrible.
Even though she was experiencing something similar now, she was not however sorry and regretful of her actions against Aria.
Instead, the crowd only made her all the more angry.
What do they know? Were they there in the restroom earlier? How dare they speak when they had nothing to say?
Blinded by anger, Selena reached for Vera’s purse and yanked it out of her hand in one swift move.
“Screw the videos! If you check her purse, you will see the aphrodisiac!” She yelled at the top of her voice as she tried to rummage in the bag.
Vera had been shocked senseless for just a second when Selena grabbed her purse, but when she heard was the latter said, she immediately came alive.
“Give it back!” She screamed at Selena as she grabbed a hold of the purse as well.
Selena was not willing to give up the bag and the two women pushed and pulled to the shock of the crowd.
Suddenly, there was a rippling sound and the contents of the purse tumbled to the ground.
It had all happened in the twinkling of an eye, and everyone was speechless at what they saw.
There was a tiny piece of white container on the floor, which Selena had quickly snatched up before Vera could regain her senses.
“This is the aphrodisiac!” She yelled outloud, showing the tiny piece of container to Lucian, “she placed this drug in the drink that belonged to Aria and Zach. She wanted them to end up in bed together so Aria would be humiliated. That’s what she’d told me!”
“You bitch! You agreed it without any coercion!” Vera screamed back at her, “Hell, you even brought up the idea! Why are you trying to make me the bad guy here?!”
There were gasps of shock from everyone around and Vera realized she had given herself away.
She froze for a split second, then turned to Kurt immediately, shaking her head in fear. Her eyes were wide with unshed tears and her mouth trembled as she muttered to him, “Kurt…help me….”
Kurt looked at her like he wanted to punch her head in.
How dare she create this mess and was now trying to use him to clean it up?
What exactly did she want him to do at this moment?
Hell, he was also scared of Lucian Graves at this moment. There was also the fact that he was alone, was about to lose his position and power back at the Vaughn empire and worse, he’d failed to conquer Aria Beaumont.
However, he had to save face.
Tonight, the entire guests had seen him arrive with Vera. They had also watched them when Elara died and had thought they were the most loyal friends a person could ever have.
The problem was, he had nothing to say.
There was more than enough evidence now to implicate Vera and he could do nothing about it.
But a man had to try, right?
He took tentative step forward, towards Aria and Lucian, “Uhh…Vera is not…” he started but was quickly interrupted by Aria, who was sick of hearing his voice alone.
Aria pretended to be shocked at what had just transpired, “You tried to drug me, Vera?” She said in a saddened voice, “How malicious can you be?! What have I ever done to you?!”
Lucian did not have the patience to be going back and forth with them anymore.
“Call the cops.” He instructed Zach through gritted teeth, “I want them all to be punished for what they did this night.”
He paused, then glared at Vera, “I’ll make you regret the day you were born.”
Vera felt a shiver run down her spine at the vicious manner in which Lucian had just spoke ln to her.
She could not even dare or have to look him in the eye to see the amount of disgust in there. She could feel it emanating from him.
What the hell?
Why did Lucian Graves hate them so much? It was as though ever since Elara died, he felt he had no business with the Vaughn Empire anymore outside of proffessional activities.
Vera knew it was because he was looking down on her and Kurt.
This thought seemed to send anger surging through her but she could not do anything except tremble and look to Kurt for help.
But that was not the case at all.
Lucian could not just help but feel disgust whenever he came across these two people who had made Elara’s life hell.
And now, they had not only probably driven Elara to her death, they dared to try to bully his wife?!
He could barely keep himself still.
If it were up to him, he knew he’d have them locked up somewhere and given a special treatment they would never forget.
One that would end in blood and tears.
“Kurt…do something…do something please!”
Kurt was at a loss on what to do as well.
He looked at Vera sternly and uttered, “You’ve brought this upon yourself, Vera,” he uttered coldly, “I can’t believe you’d result to this method to hurt someone. You deserve everything you’d be getting from now on. Do not ask me for help again!”
Vera scoffed in disbelief and rage.
Did he just say he could not believe she could result to methods like this to get back at someone?
She gave an hysterical laugh, which made her seem more crazier than she had earlier.
Kurt telling her off for using that method was just so ironic!
She had only placed an aphrodisiac in a couple of drinks
Whereas Kurt had actually murdered his fiancée in cold blood.
She could not believe the hypocrisy of it all, “How dare you judge me this way when I’ve been this way with you for years, and you dare to treat me like this before all these losers? I’ll make you pay.”
At that moment, the sounds of sirens could be heard, and Selena’s eyes widened in terror, as did Vera.
Why had they so quickly called the police?
“Please, don’t do this!” She turned to Alycia’s begging, her eyes darting towards Aria, “Aria…please…dad would kill me…”
Aria flipped her hair behind her shoulder, “No, dear sister”. She uttered flashing a beautiful smile, “You should have thought of that before you tried to drug me, bitch!”
