Chapter 258: Fortunately, I Have You to Support Me
Cheyenne listened and felt that this was just a typical club gathering where people accidentally got drunk, but there were some suspicious things about it.
For example, why did everyone choose such a high-end hotel? Kate explained that it wasn't her choice, but rather they all voted together. To accommodate classmates who weren't well-off financially, she always compared prices and chose a mid-range restaurant. But this time was strange because 90% of the people chose the highest standard Crown Hotel, where the minimum spending for one night was at least four digits.
Cheyenne silently noted this in her heart and circled the word "hotel".
"Can you think of anything else different about your dinner? Like any forgotten details?" Cheyenne asked.
Kate's head tilted slightly as she finally remembered something. "Last night, I don't know what happened, but Peyton suddenly came up to me with a drink and apologized for something from before."
"I didn't think too much at the time, so I drank it... Cheyenne... That drink... Could there have been something wrong with it?" Kate asked worriedly.
Cheyenne rubbed her chin while pondering over this question. "It's hard to say. If we can find the glass, then that would be great, but it'd been one night already so we might not be able to find it."
Kate sighed sadly and tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm really useless... Everyone else could figure out what I couldn't..."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Given how seriously hurt Kate was by all of this, Cheyenne comforted her by saying: "It's okay; you can't blame yourself for everything since humans are bad sometimes."
Cheyenne's current plan was twofold: first, to find Timothy, as Kate had described that she felt followed when she was tipsy and heading to the bathroom. Second, was to investigate the hotel, as it might hold forgotten clues. People with access to such upscale establishments were typically affluent.
Kate's voice carried a mixture of fear and concern as she whispered to Cheyenne, "Cheyenne, please don't tell my brother about this. I'm afraid he'll lose it."
"He absolutely will!" Her parents had passed away early, and Eddie was not just her big brother but more like a father figure. Over the years, Kate had developed a fear of this gentle and caring older brother. When he got angry, he wouldn't shout or hit; he'd simply ignore you. For a chatterbox like Kate, Eddie's silent treatment felt like being abandoned by the whole world.
However, Kate was fortunate that even though her grades weren't great, her minor mistakes were indulged by Eddie. But this situation was different. Her brother had raised her with great care, and he was undoubtedly going to pursue the matter.
Being a doctor, he had the means to deal with the situation, even if it involved harming someone. Moreover, Eddie had won numerous awards for human anatomy and was known for his surgical precision. He could extract a full skeletal structure without spilling a drop of blood, earning him online comparisons to a skilled chef.
Cheyenne assured Kate, "Alright, you wait for me. I'll get back to you in an hour. Right now, I have an important matter to attend to."
"Thank you, Cheyenne. You've been so patient listening to my ramblings. I must have been bothering you, calling you this early in the morning. But I didn't have anyone else to talk to about
this. I feel so miserable."
Listening to Kate, Cheyenne's complexion darkened. She furrowed her long, elegantly shaped brows and replied, "What are you saying? You're not bothering me. We're in this together."
"Back in the day, if it weren't for the two of you as the anchors, I'd have definitely been the last." Kate chuckled. It was embarrassing that Layne's granddaughter had been the last in her class.
Upon hearing this, Kate's smile froze, and a pang of sadness filled her heart. She had always wondered why, despite playing together and being in the lower sets, Cheyenne had scored more than 100 points than Kate in the college entrance exam, just enough for second-tier universities. Cheyenne explained that was because she was lucky enough. Kate sighed, unable to understand why the difference between people was so vast.
Just as Kate hung up the phone, she heard a mocking laugh behind her.
She turned around to see two figures standing behind her, though she didn't know when they had arrived. The young man was wearing a white school shirt with black suit pants and had short hair that looked soft in the sunlight. His cold and calm face showed a hint of disappointment as he glanced at her without expression before quickly turning away. It was as if he didn't want to see her at all.
Kate felt very uncomfortable, like someone had cut out half of her heart. This was the first time she had ever liked someone, and she never expected it to end like this.
Standing beside him was another girl who was elegant and slim with delicate features. She looked about the same age as Kate but more mature and charming than herself. Her school skirt had been intentionally shortened to reveal a little sexiness.
The mocking laughter had come from Peyton. She stood triumphantly beside Graeme, her slender arm entwined with his, as if they were a perfect couple appearing before Kate.
"Graeme..." Kate opened her red lips slightly, wanting to explain what happened last night but Graeme suddenly interrupted her voice.
"Peyton, let's go."
The coldness and disdain in his eyes towards Kate were palpable; did he really think that she was just some casual girl? If so, then why would she have any interest in Timothy? Why couldn't Graeme listen to what she wanted to say?
Peyton achieved what she wanted; after all, Graeme was an arrogant person who had always been this way since childhood - if someone else took his toy away and returned it back, he would throw it into the trash can because he didn't want anyone else using his toys. The same was true for his lovers.
Kate gave herself to Timothy. How could a rich boy like Graeme possibly want being together with Kate?
