Eliza Sutton made an excuse and left the private room.
As soon as she reached the ergency stairwell, Woody frantically waved her over. "Boss, co quick! This is getting intense."
He handed his phone to Eliza Sutton, his face a mask of astonishnt. "I never knew your stepmom was so wild in bed. Your poor old dad, though... he’s being cuckolded spectacularly."
Eliza Sutton wasn’t interested in Mrs. Sutton’s dalliances. "Is everything arranged?" she asked.
"Of course. With handling it, this grand show will go off without a hitch."
Eliza Sutton nodded. Just as she returned to the private room, Harrison Sutton called her to his side. "Eliza, this is Mr. Owens. He even held you when you were a child."
Eliza Sutton raised her glass. "It’s a pleasure, Mr. Owens. This one’s for you."
With that, she tipped her head back and drained the glass.
Mr. Owens was extrely flattered and repeatedly praised Harrison Sutton for raising his daughter so well.
Harrison Sutton’s face flushed with excitent, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes as he looked at Eliza Sutton.
Eliza Sutton chose the perfect mont to bring up Mrs. Sutton. "I thought I saw Mrs. Sutton co this way a mont ago."
「Upstairs.」
Mrs. Sutton was in the throes of passion with her boy toy when the door to the suite was suddenly kicked open.
Uniford police officers stord in, shouting, "Police! Vice raid!"
They rushed in and quickly subdued the pair.
Before Mrs. Sutton could even process what was happening, she was forcibly handcuffed.
As she was being led away, a crowd gathered.
Mrs. Sutton had always been high-profile over the years, cultivating an online persona as the matriarch of a wealthy, prestigious family. This had made her a minor internet celebrity. That, combined with the recent marriage alliance between the Sutton and Lockwood families, ant she was quickly recognized as she was led down the hallway.
"Oh my god, isn’t that woman being taken away the Sutton family matriarch, Mae Sheffield?"
"Yes, that’s her! What did the Suttons do? How did even she get arrested?"
"It doesn’t seem like it was the Sutton family. The police are from the vice squad! And look, the man next to Mrs. Sutton isn’t Mr. Sutton!"
"That guy’s so young. A total boy toy. These rich wives really know how to live it up."
Mae Sheffield had always been obsessed with keeping up appearances. She wouldn’t even leave the house without a full face of makeup and her high-and-mighty act. But now, she’d been arrested for getting a room with another man.
The surrounding onlookers were eating up the drama, shoving their phones in her face to get a good shot.
Mae Sheffield broke down. "Stop filming! All of you, stop filming!"
「anwhile, in the private room downstairs.」
Harrison Sutton put down his glass, his face beaming. "My wife is here? I must go see her. It hasn’t been easy for her all these years, raising our children for . Eliza, you co with ."
Eliza Sutton agreed.
The other executives also spoke up. "Then we should go and pay our respects to Mrs. Sutton."
"Exactly, let’s all go together."
Harrison Sutton, thrilled to be the center of attention, gathered his friends and led the group of ten or so people out of the private room.
Just then, they ran right into Mae Sheffield, who was being escorted by the police.
Harrison Sutton was dumbfounded.
The mont Mae Sheffield saw Harrison Sutton, she started screaming, "Harrison, save ! Co and save !"
Harrison Sutton suppressed the horrible feeling in his gut and hurried forward. "Officers, there must be so misunderstanding. This is my wife. We can talk about this calmly."
It wasn’t that he was desperate to save Mae Sheffield; it was that if the scene continued, the Sutton family’s reputation would be utterly ruined!
The officer replied expressionlessly, "These two are suspected of engaging in prostitution. We’re taking them to the station for investigation. If family mbers wish to post bail, please do so at the station."
Pro... prostitution?
Harrison Sutton looked as if he’d been struck by lightning.
The executives trailing behind them exchanged stunned glances. They never imagined that trying to suck up a little would lead them right into a scene like this.
’That said, Mae Sheffield has a killer body. And she really knows how to have fun, finding a guy that young.’
’Is she trying to imply that old Sutton is getting on in years and can’t get it up anymore?’
The executives secretly exchanged glances, then made their excuses and left.
Her work was done, and Eliza Sutton was about to leave, but Harrison Sutton stopped her.
His face was flushed red, a terrifying light in his eyes. "Was this your doing!"
"What?" Eliza Sutton asked, her expression a mask of innocence.
"This business with your mother!"
"My mother died a long ti ago. How could she possibly be having an affair?" Eliza Sutton’s tone was flat.
Harrison Sutton couldn’t restrain himself any longer. He lunged forward, raising his hand to slap Eliza Sutton across the face.
Eliza Sutton raised her hand and caught Harrison Sutton’s wrist, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Mr. Sutton, we were just talking. Why the sudden violence?"
"Eliza Sutton, do you have any idea that this will destroy the Sutton family! What good does this do you?" Harrison Sutton was exasperated. He couldn’t even imagine how people would talk about him after today!
He was utterly humiliated! The Sutton family was utterly humiliated!
"Mr. Sutton, that’s a very serious accusation. I can’t possibly admit to it."
"Don’t think I’ll believe your excuses just because you won’t admit it!"
’This afternoon, Eliza Sutton, who had been ignoring him, suddenly called. She said she had seen the project proposal for Shane Lockwood’s Azure Dragon Bay developnt and wanted to discuss it with him in detail.’
’It was supposed to be just the two of them, but sohow they "randomly" ran into those other executives.’
’Even though they all move in the sa circles, those n are the biggest gossips around. After seeing sothing like this, they’re bound to spread it everywhere!’
’What’s more, the matter has beco public and is already causing a huge scandal. Even if he had the power of a god, he wouldn’t be able to suppress this!’
’That woman, Eliza Sutton, is clearly determined to destroy Mae and the Sutton Group!’
Eliza Sutton watched Harrison Sutton’s furious display with a faint smile. "Mr. Sutton, allow to remind you. The most important thing for you right now is to hurry to the police station to bail out your wife and salvage your public image as a doting husband. You also need to get on damage control as soon as possible. Otherwise, when netizens dig up more concrete evidence, the impact on the Sutton Group will be even greater."
Harrison Sutton glared at Eliza Sutton, but he had to admit she was right. Without another thought for anything else, he hurried away.
Eliza Sutton watched Harrison Sutton’s frantic retreat, her eyes filled with coldness. ’This is just the beginning. Everything my mother and I lost, I will take back from those two, piece by piece. I hope my dear father and dear stepmother can hold out for a while.’
The matter was perfectly concluded. Just as Eliza Sutton was about to take out her phone to call Woody, she heard the sound of clapping from behind her.
CLAP. CLAP.
Eliza Sutton glanced back and saw Shane Lockwood being pushed out in a wheelchair by Erik Irvine.
Shane Lockwood offered his sincere praise. "Not bad. That was quite a show."
Eliza Sutton looked completely bewildered. "Mr. Lockwood, what are you talking about?"
"I was talking about the big show just now—the vice raid. It was very well-staged."
Eliza Sutton looked even more innocent. "Vice raids are a police matter. What does that have to do with ?"
"Good. That’s the only thing you should say, no matter who interrogates you."
Eliza Sutton blinked, her face the very picture of innocence. "I only ever tell the truth, no matter who asks."
"Very good." Shane Lockwood seed quite pleased. "I hope you’ll rember the miserable state Mrs. Sutton is in and won’t make the sa mistake she did."
