Aaron held her hand and led her directly out of the room upstairs.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Nathalie had someone forcibly separate the two entangled people. Ernest looked utterly disheveled, still trying to grab onto Lila and continue.
Lila, now slightly regaining her senses, realized the situation. She let out a piercing scream, wrapped herself in the blanket, and cried out in distress.
"How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Why am I here? Mom, wasn't that bitch Selena supposed to be in this room? Why is it me? Why me!"
The sensation in her body was undeniable, and seeing Ernest in his dazed state, she could already imagine how wild things had been between them. Worse yet, many people had witnessed it!
This scene was supposed to fall on Selena!
What went wrong?
Nathalie hugged her, trying to calm her down, "Don't get worked up, Lila. You can't afford to get upset right now. It's okay, mom's here with you. I'll take care of this."
But Lila was inconsolable, sobbing uncontrollably. She knew her life was ruined! She could never be with Aaron again!
Kendrick coldly remarked, "Look at the mess you've made! This situation better have a perfect solution, or else leave the country and never come back!"
With that, Kendrick turned and left, his reputation utterly destroyed today!
If it had been a minor incident, he might have turned a blind eye. But now, it had escalated to the point where the entire city knew about it, and the Fletcher family had become the biggest joke! This mother and daughter duo were utterly useless! Nathalie was startled, her face paling. She had dared to act because she had Kendrick's support. But now, without his backing, she couldn't continue targeting Selena!
Her mind was in chaos, and the only solution she could think of now was marriage.
Lila had to marry Ernest to minimize the damage from this incident.
...
At the banquet, the crowd wore mixed expressions, gathering in small groups to discuss the events that had just unfolded. Aaron left the Fletcher estate, taking Selena with him.
Once they got into the car, he held her hand tightly, a hint of guilt on his face. "Selena, I'm sorry. I came too late."
He had been held up by the situation, which put Selena in such a dangerous position. It was all his fault.
Selena reassured him, "I'm fine, aren't I? Don't blame yourself. Besides, after everything that happened, we should be able to enjoy some peace for a while."
Nathalie and Lila had failed in their schemes once again, and they would have no choice but to lay low for now. Otherwise, the scandals surrounding the Fletcher family would only continue to spread, something no one in the family wanted.
Aaron kissed her forehead and pulled her into his arms. "This will never happen again."
"Yes, I believe you."
Selena leaned against his chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, feeling completely safe.
This time, Nathalie had gone too far, and Aaron wouldn't show mercy again. Joining forces with the Tudor Group, he directly pressured Kendrick to step down. Aaron took the opportunity to reclaim the shares Nathalie held, becoming the new leader of Fletcher Enterprises.
After the birthday party, the scandal of Lila and Ernest's wild escapade in bed became the talk of every high-society gathering, leaving Lila too embarrassed to even step outside.
