Chapter 573 - Punishment for Elien Mikhailova (2) (1/2)
Finally, the girl could only nod and kiss Alaric's cheek gently to excuse herself. As her lips touched her husband's cheek, she whispered, begging Alaric not to kill Elien. ”Honey, please don't kill anymore... I'll be waiting for you at the penthouse.”
She then nodded to Pavel and her two younger brothers before stepping out of the venue. Three burly bodyguards swiftly welcomed her and escorted her up to the penthouse.
Alaric gave a signal and the two staff members who guarded Elien immediately brought the girl before Alaric, who was sitting relaxedly in his chair. London and Rune just stood there staring at the scene in front of them. Pavel, who was well acquainted with his boss, immediately understood that Alaric knew what had happened and who was responsible for all the embarrassing events earlier this evening.
”Pavel, try to tell my two brothers-in-law what happened earlier and how you found this woman in the Presidential Suite,” Alaric demanded while sitting cross-legged, seeming relaxed yet so intimidating.
He deliberately didn't bring London and Rune to the Presidential Suite because he didn't want them to see first-hand the place that was almost a witness to the depraved act of the woman who deliberately set him up. It would be better for them to hear what happened from Pavel.
”Uhm... Elien was missing for hours, and when we tracked down her phone, we found her locked up in the presidential suite, n.a.k.e.d and tied to a bed, ready as a bait to trap you, who had been given an aphrodisiac this afternoon... she looked very hysterical and frightened, so we thought she was a victim, ”Pavel said.
”We found a variety of video recording equipment in the suite, ready to record the moment you came there and have s.e.x with her to defame you.” He continued.
London and Rune looked at each other with embarrassed faces when they heard Pavel's explanation. They then remembered their own father, who was also a man who was immensely wealthy and powerful, and Terry, their eldest brother... had they also experienced such traps? How scary!
”I was wrong because I was careless this afternoon, giving her the opportunity to put aphrodisiac into my drink. You know I'm very careful and I don't take drinks from strangers. Apparently, this female fox used our working relationship to secretly give me aphrodisiacs.” Alaric briefly explained, glaring at Elien who was forced to kneel on the floor in front of him.
The girl shook her head while crying.
”I... That's not true, Sir. I wouldn't dare...” she wept in a pitiful voice. ”I was framed... I didn't know the drink had aphrodisiac in it...”
”The secretary you bribed to leak my schedule confessed everything,” Alaric took the glass of wine from the table and sipped it in a nonchalant manner. ”The check-in clerk confirmed that your assistant booked the Presidential Suite and entered before you arrived, I suppose... he installed all of the cameras.”
”No... N-No, Sir... you're misinformed... it wasn't me... I'm just a victim...” Elien's weeps sounded more poignant. ”If you don't believe me, try asking the hotel staff... There were bad guys who entered the suite after and caught me...”
Elien knew it was impossible to expect mercy from anyone, so she finally shamelessly knelt and kissed Alaric's shoes.
”Please... Sir, I admit I was wrong. I'm in love with you and I really want to be with you, but I cannot possibly do such a deed... I booked a presidential suite here because I wanted... I wanted to flirt with you once again... But I didn't think that there would be bad guys who would take advantage of my feelings for you...
