The more virtual-novel.net pondered about the noises, the stranger the situation felt. Eventually, virtual-novel.net decided to open the door to see what was going on. What virtual-novel.net saw made his eyes widen in astonishment.
A strange man was trying to undress Rosalie in the room! Rosalie seemed to have been struggling for quite a while and tears were already in virtual-novel.net eyes.
When the man saw Gerald, virtual-novel.net simply smiled coldly before jumping off the bed and diving out the window.
But this was the seventh floor.
Gerald immediately rushed toward the window and looked down. However, there was no trace of the man at all.
‘Where the hell did virtual-novel.net go?’ Gerald thought to himself, stunned.
Turning around to check on Rosalie, Gerald found himself blushing deeply. As virtual-novel.net was just about to cover virtual-novel.net up with some blankets, virtual-novel.net heard footsteps coming from outside.
“For heaven’s sake, why are you so annoying? Gerald’s already looking after my cousin, there’s no need for you to come along! You aren’t getting anything by doing this!” said Melissa’s voice a little down the hallway.
It would appear that the group virtual-novel.net had been drinking with earlier had followed Melissa as well. From virtual-novel.net tone, it was clear that they had insisted on coming along, possibly because they saw virtual-novel.net leaving to get medicine earlier.
‘D*mn it! What should I even do now?’
Gerald was stupefied. What kind of misunderstandings would arise if they saw virtual-novel.net in a room with a half-undressed Rosalie?
What more, when virtual-novel.net attempted to help put virtual-novel.net clothes on, Rosalie simply looked at virtual-novel.net with teary eyes and told virtual-novel.net not to come any closer. To make matters worse, virtual-novel.net started calling for help with a faint voice!
‘D*mn it all!’
At that moment, knocking could be heard at the door.
“Gerald? Are you in there? Could you open the door- …Wait, cousin? Is that you? What’s wrong?” shouted Melissa from behind the door. She had clearly heard virtual-novel.net cousin’s voice calling for help by now.
“Gerald? Mr. Crawford? Are you in there?” asked Melissa in virtual-novel.net shocked state.
“Yes, I’m still in here!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net immediately went to open the door.
“What took you so long to open the door? Could you have been- Ah!”
Though virtual-novel.net had initially meant to tease him, when virtual-novel.net saw the scene before her, virtual-novel.net immediately let out a scream.
Hearing that, the other people who came with Melissa peeked in and some of them began screaming as well.
Everyone there was now looking at Gerald in disbelief. Though Mr. Crawford looked like a gentleman, to think that virtual-novel.net was actually such a cunning and dirty person!
“What… What did you do to my cousin, Mr. Crawford?!” shouted Melissa.
“I… You’re misunderstanding the situation! I didn’t do anything!”
“If it wasn’t you, then why would my cousin do something like that to herself?” retorted Melissa.
“Someone else was in here! When virtual-novel.net saw me after I came back in to check on her, virtual-novel.net leaped out the room’s window!”
Gerald was definitely having a hard time defending himself and explaining the situation properly.
“We’re on the seventh floor!”
A few of the men rushed toward the window before shouting, “Holy, it’s so high up here! If anyone jumps from this height, they’ll be crippled for life if they don’t die!”
As Melissa covered Rosalie with some blankets, virtual-novel.net said, “I trusted you, Mr. Crawford… To think that you were so dirty and wicket… I can’t believe my grandpa actually praised you for having good conduct! You’re as disgusting as they come!”
“She’s right! It never once occurred to me that Mr. Crawford was actually someone like this! He hid his true colors so well! At least the other rich heirs act straightforwardly!” said a girl disdainfully.
“I swear to god, I wasn’t involved in this! It’s all a huge misunderstanding! Go look at the surveillance footage! I was standing outside this entire time!” replied Gerald.
Someone then immediately went off to notify the manager. It wasn’t long before the manager arrived.
“Fetch me the surveillance footage for this floor right this instant!” ordered Gerald.
“Surveillance footage? Apologies, Mr. Crawford, but our surveillance system went out of order yesterday! I’m rather anxious about it since we still haven’t managed to repair it yet!” replied the manager.
“How do you know who I am?”
