Chapter: 1650
Eventually, the screams ceased. After a moment of listening for movement and not hearing any, Marnie opened the door to take a look.
There was no trace of anyone on the stairs. The only evidence that anything had happened was the drops of blood on the ground.
Marnie pretended nothing had happened and went back.
The next day, when Marnie saw Shirley, she inspected Shirley's expression carefully. Shirley looked a little haggard.
Shirley's friends were concerned, thinking Shirley was still not feeling well. Marnie was the only person who knew the real reason behind it.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Shirley opted not to involve the authorities. It appeared that she opted to preserve her reputation.
On Marnie's way back home, she kept brainstorming how she would expose Shirley's being raped to everyone. Then, she was stopped by several strange men.
The strange men grabbed her to a house and asked, “Can you recall where you were at eight o'clock in the evening three days ago while at the pub? What did you do then?"
Marnie's face turned pale and her body trembled. Three days ago, it was exactly when Shirley got raped.
Marnie thought the man who had assaulted Shirley knew she was peeping and wanted to silence her.
Fear gripped her body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably as she stammered, "I know nothing. Please don't harm me."
However, those men believed Marnie was terrified when recalling what had happened that night. So they took her to see Sergio.
It wasn't until that moment that Marnie put the pieces together and realized that Sergio, the son of the Blakely family, was the man who had raped Shirley.
While working as a shopping guide in the mall, Marnie encountered numerous wealthy individuals who spoiled their partners with excessive amounts of money.
She was envious of their girlfriends and wished to be in their shoes.
However, her station in life made her invisible to those wealthy men.
Marnie was taken aback when she saw Sergio. It was hard to reconcile the image of the rude rapist with the gentleman in front of her.
Sergio admitted that he was intoxicated that evening and had lost control of his actions.
It was too late to call the cops since any evidence that could have been used to prove that Shirley was raped was gone.
Now that Sergio had dealt with the person who had drugged him and thought Marnie was the girl he raped that night, he offered Marnie two choices. She could either choose to take two hundred thousand as compensation or be his girlfriend.
