Mandy’s once-beautiful makeup was smudged beyond recognition. It was as embarrassing as it could get.They had planned to sneak away unnoticed and find a room to freshen up.Actually, the crowd was immersed in the joyous atmosphere. No one seemed to notice them.However, Candice, always sharp-eyed, spotted them immediately.After Ivanka finished speaking, it was Candice’s turn to address the crowd.She smiled as she stepped onto the stage. She took the microphone and began by expressing her gratitude to Ivanka. Then, feigning surprise, she looked toward the back of the crowd. “Mr. Clark, Ms. Cruella, what happened to you? Why are you in such a state?”The crowd turned to follow her gaze and spot the disheveled duo.At that moment, Mandy wanted nothing more than to strangle Candice.To make matters worse, the lighting technician, mistaking them for special guests, spotlighted them.It threw their embarrassing state into full view.If not for the inappropriate setting, Mandy mi

Ivanka sneered and thought to herself. “So this is why the fox is suddenly acting friendly toward the hen. Now their intentions are clear.”Mandy, seizing the moment, raised her glass of red wine. Apologizing was not easy for her, but she convinced herself that everything would return to her favor by the end of the night.She forced herself to say it. “Ms. Ivanka, I was out of line before. Let me toast to you. I hope we can put our past grievances behind us. You’re magnanimous. Please forgive me.”Perhaps imagining Ivanka’s downfall later tonight, Mandy’s lips curled into a smile. It carried just enough of an impression of sincerity to make her words seem genuine.Ivanka smiled and said, “Sure. If you want to come back, just go through the interview process. I won’t stand in your way. But whether or not you can return to the company will depend on your own abilities.”Ferris and Mandy’s faces immediately darkened.Ivanka clearly understood they were asking for Mandy’s reinstateme

Mandy lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor.When she woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.Could someone please explain why a man was lying beside her?It was not just any man, it was the very one she had arranged to send to Ivanka’s room!Although she could tell she had not been violated, the sight of herself and a man not fully dressed in the same room was a disaster waiting to happen if anyone saw them.Suppressing the urge to strangle the man, Mandy tried to wake him up.However, he too had been drugged and would not wake up no matter how hard she tried.Sweat poured down Mandy’s forehead in large beads.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway. Like a startled bird, she frantically searched for a place to hide.As the footsteps grew closer, she had no time to think and quickly darted into the closet.Outside, she heard Ferris’s voice accompanied by a woman’s, one she did not recognize.Ferris’s tone dripped with lust. “I’ve missed y

There was another version of the story closer to the truth. Allegedly, Mandy had slept with some man in Ferris’ room.Meanwhile, Ferris cheated on her with his female secretary.When the four of them ran into each other, tension broke out.Mandy got jealous and started fighting the female secretary, who was an intern.Ferris could not talk some sense into her, so he had no choice but to leave the room and get a breather.He had not expected to be discovered that way.Of course, Ivanka was partly responsible for this version of the rumor.She would not let Ferris appear faultless and innocent in the rumors.She looked forward to seeing how he explained himself to his wife.In the meantime, after Mandy calmed down in Ferris’ room, she did not dare to face what came next.Ferris had sent the female intern away a while ago. Once he and Mandy cooled down, they realized Ivanka had set them up.Candice’s phone was on the table. She must have dropped it when she eavesdropped on them

The sea’s surface glistened under the moonlight, but Ivanka was nowhere to be found.As Mandy heaved a sigh of relief, she also lamented Michael’s death.He was an outstanding man. It was a shame that he had to die.She had no choice.There was a determined look in Mandy’s eyes. Anyone who stood in her way must die!Once everyone recovered from the shock, the man who invited Ivanka to dance wanted to jump off the deck to search for her.But Ferris stopped him.He stood before the crowd and said righteously, “I know everyone is worried about Ms. Ivanka. I’m also concerned. But now that she is absent, I have the obligation to watch out for everyone’s safety. It’s best to call the cops once we reach the shore.”Hearing what he said, everyone else could not refute him.Candice had been stunned earlier on. But after she came to her senses, she wanted to leap off the cruise.Everyone screamed.But somebody stopped her.It was Mandy.Mandy grabbed Candice in her arms, and they bo
