Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 37: Reaping What You Sow

Brandon began to wonder if he had offended Ella in some way. He racked his brain but couldn’t come up with an answer. Awkwardly, he smiled at Ella and suggested, "Ella, how about we go over there and have some snacks?"

Ella cast a contemptuous glance at Brandon and shook her head indifferently. "No, thank you. I don’t like those things."

Brandon’s mouth twitched. Charles also noticed Ella’s unusually cold demeanor tonight and gave Brandon a scrutinizing look.

Just then, Lily approached them, shyly addressing Charles, "Charles, I’ve heard your name since I was little..."

Charles smiled faintly, "It’s not convenient to talk here. How about we go to the gazebo over there?"

Outside Lily’s family’s grand hall, there was a small gazebo lit by a soft yellow lamp.

"Sure, I’d love to chat with you!" Lily’s heart raced, thrilled that Charles wanted to talk to her alone.

As Charles and Lily left, Ethan, who had been conversing with Chloe on the balcony, suddenly pushed open the glass door and strode upstairs, his face flushed as if something had happened.

Chloe came out and whispered in Ella’s ear, "It looks like Ethan has been drugged...his eyes are excited, you have to be careful."

Ella’s lips curled into a cold smile, and she nodded slightly.

A few minutes later, Lily returned, chuckling as she approached Ella. "Ella, I heard you love collecting paintings. I have some famous ones upstairs. Come and take a look; even my dad wouldn’t sell them!"

Acting like she was very familiar with Ella, Lily pulled her up and started leading her upstairs, not giving Ella any chance to refuse.

Ella didn’t shake off Lily’s hand. Chloe followed, calling, "Ella..."

"Wait for me here. Lily says she has some paintings to show me, so I’ll just go take a look," Ella said with a light smile, though she secretly sneered. Lily’s family was ordinary; there couldn’t be any famous paintings there. Hannah and Lily’s excuse was too clumsy—anyone sharp could tell it was just a pretext!

"Where does your dad keep his collection?" Ella asked as they reached the top of the stairs, glancing at the rooms lining the corridor.

Ethan was in one of those rooms.

Lily was about to answer when she suddenly felt dizzy, her heart pounding, and her body went weak. Alarmed, she found the sensation unfamiliar and strange. She hadn’t eaten anything odd, had she?

"In... the second last room on the left! I feel unwell, you go on your own," Lily hurriedly said, her breathing rapid and her face flushed.

Ella quickly supported her. "Lily, what’s wrong? You look really off..."

"I’m... I’m so hot, so hot... Help me to the first... room..." Lily stammered.

A cold glint flashed in Ella’s eyes. "Alright, let’s go."

At this moment, Lily felt as if the world was spinning around her. She couldn’t see anything clearly, panic flooding her senses. Her legs and body seemed to be drained of all strength, leaving her no choice but to rely on Ella for support.

Ella guided Lily to the second-to-last room and pushed the door open. Inside was a guest room, with several abstract paintings hanging on the walls.

Ella had no time to inspect whether they were famous works. After helping Lily to the bed, she noticed Lily’s continuous moaning.

"So hot... so hot... Mr. Carter... oh, Mr. Carter..." Lily’s face was flushed, her moans alluring and captivating.

Lowering her voice, Ella said, "You rest here, I’ll get you some water."

With that, Ella hurriedly left the guest room, closing the door behind her.

No sooner had Ella left than the closet door swung open. Ethan’s eyes, filled with intense hunger, fixed on the figure on the bed. All he could think of was the urgent need to release his pent-up desires.

Seeing Lily’s shapely body, he rushed to the bed, tearing at her clothes like a starving wolf...

Ethan’s reason was obliterated by the overpowering effects of the drug. All that mattered was that she was a woman; everything else would follow...

After heading downstairs, Ella accidentally bumped into a girl carrying a tray of juice.

The girl immediately glared at her, her eyes full of contempt. "Ella, are you blind? Didn’t you see me standing here?"

Ella quickly smiled apologetically, "I’m sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t notice."

"Hmph, I’ll let it slide for your sister’s sake," the girl said arrogantly, raising her chin.

"Your clothes are all wet. Here, let me wipe that for you," Ella offered, pulling out her handkerchief and reaching to dab the juice off the girl’s sleeve.

"No need... Thanks," the girl sneered, but her demeanor softened instantly when she saw Charles and Brandon approaching.

"It’s no big deal, Ella. Don’t worry about it, I wasn’t mad," she said sweetly, casting a charming smile as Charles, Brandon, and Chloe arrived.

"What happened?" Charles asked softly.

The girl’s eyes brightened, and she laughed, "Nothing, I just accidentally bumped into Ella and got a little juice on my sleeve. It’s nothing!"

What a nauseating white lotus!

Ella sneered inwardly but outwardly appeared anxious. "I can’t chat now, I need to take some water upstairs. Lily isn’t feeling well and asked for some water."

Hannah, who had just walked over, caught the last part of the conversation, and her face changed dramatically.

Lily went upstairs with Ella, didn’t she? The one who should be upstairs now is Ella, not Lily!

And Ella drank the juice with the drug in it; by now, the effects should have kicked in. Why is there no noise at all?

A strong sense of unease surged in Hannah’s heart. She hurriedly grabbed Ella’s hand. "Sister, is Lily feeling unwell?"

"Yes, she is. I need to take her some water," Ella quickly grabbed a glass of water and rushed upstairs.

Sensing something was wrong, Hannah followed closely behind her.

Several girls who were close to Lily also wanted to go up, but Hannah stopped them, saying it would disturb Lily’s rest.

Hannah and Ella arrived at the second-to-last room, and Hannah’s face turned even more ashen. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Lily was in this room?

Ella quickly pushed open the door. "Lily, I brought you some water..."

Both Ella and Hannah were instantly shocked by the scene before them. Clothes were strewn all over the floor, and on the bed, a man and a woman were entangled in a wild frenzy.

Lily’s gasps and moans, Ethan’s grunts, and the unmistakable sounds of their bodies colliding filled the room.

"Ahhhh!" Ella let out an earth-shattering scream, but the couple on the bed seemed oblivious, continuing their feverish movements.

Hannah’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight. It wasn’t until Ella’s scream that she snapped back to reality and hurriedly slammed the door shut.

"What... what is happening? I was only gone for a moment, how did they end up... like this?" Ella looked at Hannah in shock.
