Is this destiny?

Chapter 1598 - Party At The Smith Family Villa (7)

In the hallway…

Aileen is leading the way for Charlie and more than twenty curious onlookers. They are all hoping to see a good show. Among the people present are mostly members of the Smith family.

Aileen's words about Emma going into a bedroom with another man spread through the party like wildfire, but outsiders don't dare come in the wing of the mansion where bedrooms are. That is reserved for the family.

"This room!" Aileen announced while pointing with her finger at the door in front of her.

"This is my bedroom." Charlie confirmed. "Are you sure that Emma entered here with another man?"

Aileen nodded confidently. "Absolutely!"

Charlie put his hand on the doorknob and reluctantly pressed it down. As soon as the door was ajar, lustful sounds drifted out from the room and Charlie frowned.

Aileen grinned, unable to conceal her glee. "I told you! I didn't make it up!"

Aileen does not care about throwing her brother under the bus. The unwritten rule in the Smith family is that the strongest one reaches the top, and Aileen's strength is scheming. David was stupid enough to agree and participate in this play she set up. That is why Aileen accepted only three rides with his Mercedes. After this scandal, she is confident that the Mercedes and anything else her brother has will be hers!

Thomas and Caroline were also in the crowd of onlookers. At first, they didn't like that Aileen is causing this commotion, but now that the things turned out this way, they will not miss the opportunity to pour oil on the fire.

Thomas exhaled dramatically, showing his disappointment. "How can a person act like this during the event that our family hosts? We spent a lot of money and many hours planning the celebration of our achievements and welcoming the next patriarch, and this is what we get?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and then looked at Charlie, eagerly expecting his next move.

Caroline used this moment of silence to add her contribution and make Charlie's life more miserable. "Do you plan to marry Emma after this? You need to break off this engagement! She is stepping all over you in your own house! A lowly nurse should be happy to have the opportunity to be elevated to the position of your wife, and she returns your kindness by trampling your image?"

Thomas approved the words of his wife. "This shameless person does not deserve to be a part of the Smith family… Don't you agree?"

Charlie's expression was not good. "I agree. The person inside does not deserve to be a part of the Smith family." Charlie looked at the crowd of people with a solemn expression. "If I ban these two people from stepping onto the property of the Smith family, will anyone object?"

Aileen's face lit up. Charlie just said that he will not marry Emma! What luck! Her plan is perfect!

"Of course, no one will object." Aileen said sweetly. "Both of them should not have any right to associate themselves with the Smith family."

Others echoed Aileen's words. They all see Emma as an outsider, and no one thinks that her background as a no-name nurse is good enough for the Smith family. If it's someone with lower standing, it might be overlooked, but this is Charlie. The patriarch. The woman by his side must be equally dazzling.

"Alright…" Charlie exhaled and pushed the door open.

Aileen was one step behind Charlie, and she waited for more than dozen people to enter the room before turning on the lights.

They all listened to the lustful sounds of a man and a woman who were engaged in carnal pleasures and they were not covered, so after the room was illuminated, the onlookers got to see a good show of a man on top of the woman whose legs were around him, up in the air. More people were trying to get in and they stretched their necks to see what is going on.

By the time David noticed that the lights are on, more than thirty people were inside, staring at the bed.

"David!" Caroline screamed when she recognized her son. She was sure that she will pass out. It is one thing for Charlie's fiancée to be exposed like this, but her son being involved is different.

David scrambled off from the woman and pulled a cover over his mid-section. "Why are you here?"

"What are you doing in my bed?" Charlie asked icily.

After a moment of shock, David realized his situation. He didn't care about others, but the look on Charlie's face was priceless. He managed to get an upper hand on Charlie, finally!

"Hehehe… I and your fiancée hit it off." David said with glee.

Charlie frowned. "My fiancée?"

"Yes, you see…" David swallowed his next words when he looked at the woman by his side. She is a maid from the mansion. He slept with her more than once, but… where is Emma?

David turned his head toward the crowd in slow motion and his sight fell on Aileen. And then the realization hit him. "You set me up!"

Charlie glanced at Aileen and then narrowed his eyes at David. "How did she set you up? Did she tell you to sleep with that maid in my bed?"

"No, no… this was supposed to be Emma!" David said frantically.

Everyone felt that Charlie's mood shifted, and they could swear that the temperature in the room fell by a few degrees.

"You are saying that Aileen arranged for you to sleep with MY Emma?" Charlie glared at Aileen. "Is he the man you saw holding hands with MY Emma and enter this room?"

Aileen's eyes darted randomly. Why did this become her problem? David is the one at fault. The woman by his side is not Emma, but David is still in Charlie's bed.

Aileen realized that the spotlight is on her, and she needs a way out. Even if this is not Emma, Emma is somewhere, drugged. And getting Emma's image tarnished is more important than getting rid of David.

"I saw Emma! Maybe I got the wrong room because I was at the end of the hallway, but I definitely saw her act overly friendly with a man. How can you suspect me? She told me that she is going to rest, and if she is not here, where could she be?"

"Right here…" Emma's voice came from behind the crowd.

They all turned toward the voice and made way for Emma to come inside the room.

"What is all this commotion?" Emma asked as she made her way toward Charlie. She glanced at the bed and frowned at the sight of David and the maid. Emma looked at Charlie. "I thought that this is our room. Why are they in our bed?"

"Where were you?" Aileen hissed. She was irritated that Emma seems fine and that Charlie hugged Emma as soon as she approached him. Bitch!

"I told you in the restroom that I'm not feeling well." Emma responded. "But instead of resting in my room how you suggested, I decided to get some fresh air and I went to the garden. Why are you accusing me like I did something wrong?"

Aileen narrowed her eyes at Emma. "Fresh air? You were barely standing!"

"Yes, that is why the kind lady supported me. The fresh air helped, as you can see." Emma said smugly.

Charlie decided to leave dealing with Aileen for later. She is an important chip that he plans to use later against Thomas.

"Are you still tired?" Charlie asked Emma dotingly.

"I'm fine. But I'm afraid that we can't stay here overnight." Emma said while grimacing in disgust toward the bed.

"Don't worry about it. We will go home. Did you say a lady helped you?"

"Yes. I was too drowsy to remember her name, but I know that she said how she is here as the date of young Mr. Heine."

"Young Mr. Heine…" Charlie repeated Emma's words. "I will make sure to thank him properly."

Everyone present understood that the young Mr. Heine has a strong connection with Jeffrey White, and now it seems that even Charles Smith sees him in good light! They will make sure to suck up more to Ron!
