Chapter 4

Amber looked at me sarcastically and then pulled me to the center of the dance floor.

I watched as Amber's face darkened.

"Aren't you the protagonist today?"

Amber covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I'm different from Aria. Aria is a popular girl now. So many people are lining up for her!"

The shift schedule on Silas' phone popped into my mind, and I clenched my fists tightly.

"I'm not feeling well today. I'm going home first."

I felt like I had been stripped naked. I was overwhelmed by the shame and humiliation I felt. I just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

I turned around and tried to leave, but Amber stood in front of me.

"Aria, did I make you unhappy? If I made you unhappy, then I apologize to you."

Amber held a glass of champagne in her hand, her eyes full of grievance.

Silas immediately stepped forward and snatched the wine glass from Amber's hand.

"You can't drink alcohol during your period."

The next second Silas handed the champagne to me.

"Aria, I won't hold it against you for forcing Amber to go abroad, but today is Amber's celebration party. Who are you showing your stern face to?"

"Drink this glass of wine as an apology to Amber."

I looked at the wine glass in Silas's hand, and I couldn't suppress my heartache.

"I'm still pregnant, and you want me to drink alcohol as a pregnant woman?"

Silas disagrees.

"It's just a glass of champagne. I've already asked the doctor. You're already eight months pregnant, and the baby has long been stable. Drinking a little wine occasionally won't have any effect at all."

I pushed the glass away.

"I don't want to drink. I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"

Silas's face instantly turned cold.

"Aria, I've given you enough face today, please don't challenge my bottom line."

"Brother, don't be so fierce! Aria is still a pregnant woman, don't scare her."

Amber handed it over with a glass of water.

"Aria, brother didn't mean to be mean to you, drink a glass of water and calm down."

I held the glass of water in my hand and looked at the clear water in the glass.

"Can I go upstairs and rest after I drink some water?"

After saying that, I drank the water in one gulp.

The warm water slid down my throat, and then I began to feel my body gradually getting hot, as if countless insects were crawling and gnawing on me.

"What did you give me to drink?"

After asking this question, my legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and then my body went limp and fell into the arms of a stranger.

With blurry eyes, I could only see Chase's evil face looking at me impatiently, his hands constantly touching my body.

"Amber, you really know how to have fun. Before, you used sleeping pills, but now you're like a dead fish, and your interest is gone by half."

Amber looked at me with a smug look on her face.

"This is the latest foreign drug, called Rohypnol-laced cocktail. Anyone who drinks it will forget everything and be at the mercy of others. You can have fun however you want today. When she wakes up, she will forget everything that happened today."

"Let me go."

I screamed with all my remaining sanity.

But I didn't have the strength to do anything. I could only look at Silas, trying to awaken a trace of his conscience.

Silas just glanced at me coldly and then looked at Chase.

"You guys should be gentle, after all, she is still pregnant, and that affects our $10M wager in Vegas-style betting pool."

I looked at Silas in despair.
