Mysterious Little Wife

Chapter 35 To Whom Did You Give Your Virginity?

Sam's action was too abrupt.

A silence fell over everyone as a result.

"Cough, Mr. Garrison, that's Lillianna's younger sister, Lacey, not Lillianna—" Evie couldn't help but

whisper, reminding him not to mistake Lillianna for someone else.

Sam froze. He stared into Lacey's hazy eyes, then loosened his grip on her wrist.

"Well, Lacey was clearly not a drinker when she showed up for my engagement ceremony. Sam

stopped her from drinking anymore because he was worried about her health. Besides, she'd just

suffered from motion sickness." Lillianna tried to explain.

Still, she scowled and tried to read Sam's expression.

What had just happened to him?

Lacey's balance was broken by his sudden release, and she almost fell over. Luckily, Theo was quick

to hold her.

"No, it's fine. I'm still able to drink." Lacey waved her hand, then hiccupped. She frowned, for her

stomach didn't feel good.

"Let's call it a day." Theo was displeased. "Why did she get picked three times in a row? It's no different

than cheating." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You can't say that, Mr. Henderson. She could have refused to play if she didn't want to! The way you're

defending her makes it look like we're bullying her!" Heidi Martin, a fledgling female superstar, sneered.

"That's right! Mr. Henderson, you can't be so biased!" Evie chimed in. She then looked at Lacey and

said, "It appears you can't drink anymore, so why not answer some questions!"

Lacey rubbed between her brows. She grinned as she looked at Evie, saying, "I don't think I can drink

anymore. Ask away—"

She collapsed into a seat immediately after.

Evie got excited and jumped up. "Don't mind if I do! Who did you give your virginity to?"

The crowd was taken aback by the question.

Sam turned to Lacey unconsciously.

At this point, his dark eyes seemed bottomless.

Why had he grabbed her and stopped her from drinking?

Was it because her drunken appearance reminded him of that night?

The night she was as obedient as a kitten.

D*mn it!

He must be out of his mind!

"What kind of question is that? How can you ask such a personal matter?" Theo frowned. His tone was

grim and cold.

Suddenly, Lacey giggled. She squinted her eyes and looked around the crowd. "My virginity, you ask?"

"That's right. Rumors are stating that you're open to sex. So, to whom did you give up your virginity?

Was it your teacher, a classmate, or a random street beggar?" Evie continued sarcastically.

"Enough!" Theo was enraged. "Lacey, let's go!"

He was about to help her up.

"It hurts—" Lacey frowned. Her face overcame with grief. "It hurts a lot that night."

"Lacey, stop talking. I'll take you back to your room." Theo tried to pick her up forcibly.

Lacey, however, remained rooted to the stool and refused to move. She frowned as she gripped Theo's

hand. "My first time wasn't at all pleasant."

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

"Yes, I understand!" Theo felt somewhat suffocated. However, he could't lose his temper when he saw

the loss on her face and the clarity in her eyes.

"Stop saying things that aren't relevant. To whom did you give your virginity?" Evie had become

dissatisfied. Why did they keep turning the conversation around?

"My virginity?" Lacey frowned, seemingly trying to recall some memory.

"All right, stop it. Lacey is not feeling well. I'll take her back to her room." Lillianna rose to her feet.

Lacey seemed to have drunk too much. Lillianna was worried that she might reveal the truth.

"What a good sister you are. You defended her right away." Evie giggled and decided not to bother

Lacey anymore.

After all, she and Lillianna were close friends. She should, at the very least, respect her.

"Lacey, I'll take you back to your room," Lillianna said as she had to pull Lacey up.

"I sold it!" Of a sudden, Lacey pointed her finger at the sky. " I sold it for two hundred thousand

dollars!"

What she said took everyone by storm.

No one had anticipated her to say such a thing.

"Lacey!" Lillianna was horrified. "You're drunk. Stop talking nonsense!"

"You sold your virginity for two hundred thousand dollars?" Evie asked in shock.

Everyone pricked up their ears. Though it was known that Lacey was sexually open, they hadn't

expected her to sell her virginity.

"That's right! I made a two-hundred-thousand-dollar profit on it!" Lacey giggled. "What an easy money

—"

She grinned. A few strands of her silky hair blew onto her scarlet face. She looked even more

mesmerizing due to the alcohol.

After learning that Lacey had sold her virginity for money, everyone now despised her even more.

Indeed, Lacey was nothing more than a country bumpkin who had seen very little of the world.

"How could a girl sell her virginity for money to someone she didn't like? How can you have no self-

respect?" Evie lifted a disdainful look.

Meanwhile, the men raised their brows and remained silent.

"What kind of self-respect was she capable of? If she had any dignity, her name would not have gotten

so awful online in the first place." Heidi giggled.

"Dignity?" Lacey's eyes were half-closed. Suddenly, she broke out laughing as if she'd gone insane. "Is

dignity worth anything?"

Then, as if thought of something, aggravation was written all over her face. She bit her lower lip and

trembled as she said, "Without money, gastric cancer can't be cured, and the hospital won't help us.

Money is really important—"

The crowd was startled once again.

They stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

"My mother was diagnosed with gastric cancer. She was very young, and I thought I could save her if I

had the money. However, it didn't—" Lacey stammered. She looked up, and tears were seen rolling

down her cheeks.

"Lacey, stop talking!" Lillianna could tell that Lacey was very drunk.

She had to take her back immediately before something terrible happened.

Otherwise, the consequences of her secret being exposed would be unimaginable.

"Lillianna." Lacey stared at Lillianna in a daze. She frowned and asked, "Do you miss mom?"

Lillianna, however, dodged the question by responding, "You're drunk. Let's go. I'll take you back."

She pulled hard on Lacey. Little did she know that she was thrusting with so much force that Lacey

would fall to the ground.

"Lacey!" Theo was taken aback and jumped to her aid. "Are you all right?" He asked with concern.

Lacey replied with a sweep of her hand, "I'm perfectly fine. It's time for me to return to my room. I'm

sleepy. I'll go now!"

She turned around and headed for the place she had first come in.

"I'll walk you back!" Theo offered as he helped her up.

"It's fine!" Lacey held out her hand and pushed him away. "I'm not drunk. I want to go back alone."

"But I'm worried about your safety!" Theo grew nervous.

"What could possibly go wrong in such a luxurious hotel? Could you not follow me? I'm not a disabled

person." She frowned. Her tone was agitated.

Lacey stumbled backward after that.

"Allow her to be, Mr. Henderson. After all, this was a high-end hotel. I believe the staff here recognizes

who she is." One of the wealthy young men approached Theo and struck up a conversation.

With concern, Theo looked in the direction Lacey had gone. However, her figure had vanished.

Her departure brought the dull atmosphere back to life.

The crowd went lively once more.

Lacey swayed as she walked. She wanted to return to her room. However, she ended up at the

swimming pool.

In the center of the hotel, there was a large swimming pool where people who didn't want to go to the

beach could swim at any time.

A lot of money must have been spent on this pool as there was a massive rockery at the front.

Even a waterfall ran over it, which looked spectacular and gorgeous.

Loungers were placed around the pool for people to rest.

As it was a public trial, there were very few people.

Lacey felt a little dizzy. She found a lounger at random and rested.

After sleeping for quite some time, Lacey was startled awake by a cry.

She looked over and saw a little girl about five years old standing before her. She grieved bitterly, her

large eyes filled with tears.

Lacey got to her feet and staggered over, frowning. "Why are you crying, little girl?"

"My balloon flew, sob—" The little girl pointed above her head.

Lacey looked up and noticed a balloon had flown to the rockery and strung on the artificial tree.

"Don't cry. I'll get it for you, okay?" Lacey comforted.

"Really?" The little girl stopped weeping right away.

"Hold on a second. I'll get it for you!" Lacey stumbled as she started to walk forward.

Oblivious to the time it took to get up, she realized her clothes were soaking wet.

Trembling, she climbed onto the rockery and felt even dizzier.

"You've got this!" The little girl cheered.

Lacey chuckled. She climbed atop the rockery and made her way slowly toward the balloon.

"I got it. Ah!" The waterfall's rocks were too slick to walk on. She was on the verge of failing as soon as

she put her hands on the balloon.

"Are you trying to commit suicide?"

Sam dashed along the corridor after receiving a call.

He had no idea he'd come into Lacey in such a precarious position.

She was unsteadily standing on the rockery, as though she may fall over at any moment.

Without hesitating, Sam hurried over.

His expression was solemn. His grip on her waist was suffocating. "Is this what you call going back to

your room?"

"It hurts—" Lacey frowned, dazedly staring at Sam.

It hurt! Why did he have to pinch her?

"Get down!" It seemed as though Sam's rage had been suppressed for far too long. He gnashed his

teeth and growled.

Yes, he was angry.

He was angry because he was somewhat concerned about her.

The moment she downed her drink, he started to get weird.

Lacey suddenly seized Sam's clothes with a drunken look on her face. "Are we going down? I have a

way we can get down there fast!"

Before Sam could react, Lacey wrapped her arms around his neck with dazzling smiles.

......

He lost his balance and began to lean backward.

"Splash!" The two fell into the pool.
