Chapter 171

She understood her daughter’s limitations.

Shelia’s cunning couldn’t match Lindsey’s.

Any rash moves might jeopardize Shelia’s chances with Jacob, which would be a costly mistake.

Shelia couldn’t grasp Kendra’s caution.

With Jacob supporting her, she felt more than capable of handling Lindsey.

Yet, to ease her mother’s concerns, she feigned agreement.

“Alright, I understand.

”

Later that evening, Olivia beckoned Shelia for a night out.

The day’s events had soured Shelia’s mood.

With Kendra asleep, she eagerly accepted Olivia’s offer and hopped into a taxi to meet her at the bar.

Oliver was feeling uneasy.

Ever since their last encounter, Shelia had poured her efforts into Jacob, declining Olivia’s invitations repeatedly.

Now, with the hospital pressing for payment for her grandmother’s upcoming surgery, Olivia needed to meet Shelia desperately.

She had to pry into the truth of that night from Shelia tonight.

Olivia invited some attractive men to join their drinking session, continuously filling Shelia’s glass.

Before long, Shelia began to feel the effects of the alcohol.

“Shelia, is Lindsey, the girl you met at the restaurant, your sister?”

Olivia asked, pouring another glass of wine for her.

Shelia downed the drink in one swift motion.

“Don’t bring up Lindsey.

I can’t stand her! She is a bitch!”

“What’s wrong? Do you have a problem with her? She seems pretty pure and honest to me.

”

“Lindsey is far from pure! She’s a f@cking whore who got nailed by some random dude!” Shelia’s voice rose with anger as she spoke about Lindsey.

“Oh my! I really want to hear more.

Tell me, please.

” Olivia displayed a keen curiosity when it came to gossip.

“This story always makes me laugh.

” With a chuckle, Shelia dr@ped her arm over Olivia’s shoulder and whispered something into her ear.

Olivia cringed at the strong smell of alcohol on Shelia’s breath, but Shelia seemed oblivious.

She continued with pride, “Lindsey once dated this guy, Chayce Burton.

Turns out, he was only after her family’s money.

He wasn’t interested in Lindsey and didn’t want to be intimate with her.

So, he drugged her, hoping to trick her into thinking they’d been sleeping together by getting a homeless man to r@pe her!

However, when Lindsey woke up, she realized it wasn’t Chayce who had approached her, so she quickly escaped.

The medicine was meant for animals, and it was a strong dose.

She likely wouldn’t have made it through the night without having s@x.

In the end, she stumbled upon a random man for some intimacy.

Her boyfriend didn’t like her, and she was given drugs against her will.

She wanted to get away, but she couldn’t.

In the end she was s@xually assaulted by a stranger.

Isn’t that awful? Hahaha…”

Shelia laughed loudly, clearly agitated by Lindsey’s actions earlier in the evening.

She’d been drinking more due to her sour mood, which made her speak more freely than usual.

But she wasn’t making this up; Kendra had told her these things.

Still, Kendra kept secrets from Shelia.

She didn’t reveal that she and Chayce had plotted to hurt Lindsey or that she’d been having an affair with Chayce all along, keeping him away from Lindsey.

“When did all this happen?” Olivia probed further.

“I guess it was around June, right before I graduated.

”

“At the Harmony Hotel?”
