Chapter 72
Whitney tried to stop her but it was way too late.
When Amelia pushed open the guest room door, everyone got a full eyeful of what was happening inside.
Marco was on top of Valeria with his clothes all fucked up, while she was fighting him off looking like a complete disaster–hair everywhere, mascara streaked
own her cheeks.
here was still some weird floral smell hanging in the air.
he crowd absolutely lost it when they saw this.
What the… what the hell is happening in there?” someone gasped.
Holy shit, that’s Mr. Parker and Valeria! What are they doing?”
esus, this is so fucking embarrassing! It’s Mrs. Sterling’s birthday party!”
know, right? How trashy can you get? Didn’t she just introduce her boyfriend to everyone?”
veryone was whispering and gossiping like crazy.
hitney’s face went dead white–she never in a million years thought it would actually be Valeria and Marco in that room!
e’d had this horrible gut feeling the second she saw Amelia standing there.
he whole plan was supposed to have Amelia trapped in there–how did everything go so sideways?
ad that sneaky bitch Amelia somehow flipped the script on them?
anding in the doorway, Amelia gasped and covered her mouth in shock. “Oh my God, Valeria, Mr. Parker, what are you… what’s going on here?”
No could play this acting game.
ven though Amelia sounded totally shocked, there was this cold satisfaction flickering in her eyes.
he’d seen right through Whitney and Valeria’s bullshit scheme from day one.
nce they wanted to destroy her reputation, she’d give them a taste of their own medicine.
earing Amelia’s voice, Valeria’s head snapped up, her eyes wild with panic and rage. “Amelia! You did this, didn’t you?”
melia put on her best innocent face. “Valeria, what are you even talking about? I have no clue what you mean. I just went upstairs to change my dress and eard some commotion, so I came to see what was up.”
had no idea… Valeria, what exactly are you and Mr. Parker doing in here? It’s Grandma’s birthday party–this is really not appropriate, you know?”
melia sounded genuinely concerned and confused.
aleria was completely speechless, her face going through every shade of red and white.
You… you’re full of shit! It was obviously you who…”
Valeria, shut the fuck up!” Whitney quickly jumped in.
Damn it, if Valeria lost her cool and spilled everything, they’d be totally screwed.
Marco had also come back to reality and was shooting daggers at Amelia. “You manipulative bitch, this was all you, wasn’t it?”
Amelia looked genuinely hurt and confused, “Mr. Parker, I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. I literally just got here–how could I have set inything up? But seriously, how did you two end up in here together?”
Marco was caught completely off guard by her response and couldn’t think of what to say.
He hadn’t expected this chick to be such a master manipulator–she’d totally played him.

Chapter 72
Whitney was panicking and rushed to do damage control. Everyone, please, this is obviously just a huge misunderstanding! Valeria, Mr. Parker, you need to get up right now! Don’t let everyone get the wrong impression!
Valeria was biting her lip so hard it might bleed, her eyes burning with humiliation and fury.
She wanted to literally murder Amelia with her bare hands.
But she knew there was no point saying anything now–she could only scramble to her feet and stare at the floor, too mortified to make eye contact with anyone
Thank God Jasper was across the house talking shop with some business contacts.
If he’d walked in on this disaster, her life would be completely over!
Marco also straightened his clothes and stood there looking like he wanted to kill someone.
Whitney quickly tried to manage the situation, turning to the crowd. “Everyone, this was clearly just a big misunderstanding. Let’s all head back to the main party–we don’t want to keep Mrs. Sterling waiting.”
The guests nodded and, even though they were dying to know more details, knew it was time to move along. They slowly started heading back toward the main
house.
Ince everyone had cleared out, Whitney turned on Amelia with pure hatred in her eyes. “Amelia, you really are a piece of work!”
(melia smiled sweetly. “Mrs. Stone, takes one to know one!”
Whitney was so pissed her face turned purple, but given where they were, she had to swallow her rage and hiss, “Don’t think you’ve won. This isn’t over!”
melia just shrugged and casually walked away.
If you want to keep playing these games, I’m ready to play all night,” she muttered to herself, her eyes flashing with ice–cold determination.
it that exact moment, a black Rolls–Royce Phantom was pulling into the Sterling estate’s circular driveway.
