Chapter 134: Excuse Is Too Perfunctory

After receiving the message from Katrina, Marcellus goes crazy with worry. He wants to call Katrina to ask her how she is, but the phone has been switched off.

Marcellus doesn't even go to work. He drives straight to the Jameson Hotel to find Katrina.

As soon as he gets out of the car, Marcellus hurries inside.

"Katrina!"

Marcellus goes to the room number Katrina gave him and knocks on the door with a worried look on the face.

But the room is quiet. No one came to answer the door for him.

How much wine did Katrina drink? Did she pa.s.s out?

Marcellus becomes even more anxious at the thought. He takes a step back before kicking the door hard. With a bang, the door swings open.

Ignoring his sore leg, Marcellus rushes inside.

Sophie has been hiding in the corner of the hall when Marcellus arrived. She sneaked in to personally see the wonderful scene of Marcellus catching Katrina's betrayal in bed.

After finishing her breakfast, Katrina goes downstairs to the front desk to retrieve her cell phone back.

Strangely, the phone is switched off.

Did her phone run out of power?

When Katrina presses the power b.u.t.ton, the phone switches on successfully, the battery is still half full.

As soon as the phone boots up, it immediately shows a missed call from Marcellus from a few minutes ago. Just as Katrina is about to call Marcellus to ask if something important happened, she notices a familiar figure heading for Melvin's room.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Sophie?

What is she sneaking around for?

Her instincts tell her that Sophie is up to no good.

Clenching her cell phone in her hand, Katrina purses her lips and follows the other girl. When she approaches, she hears someone calling her name.

Katrina is instantly stunned.

Marcellus? Why is Marcellus here?

Sophie must have told him to come over.

What are her intentions for leading Marcellus to Melvin's room? Does she want Marcellus to catch her in a miserable state?

Last night, Samuel brought her to Melvin's room for his own business. And now, Sophie brought Marcellus over to see her in the aftermath of their foul plot.

Samuel and Sophie are indeed good siblings who teamed up with each other for their own benefit. They used such unscrupulous tactics to achieve their goal.

If it hadn't been for her desperate escape last night if it hadn't been for the kind person who rescued her last night…

Not only would she have been raped by Melvin, who pretends to be a person of high morals, but Marcellus would also see her in the worst possible way.

Sophie and Samuel are so horrible that they secretly plotted against her and tried to harm her and ruin her image.

Katrina can't help shaking at the thought.

She can't imagine what would've happened if Sophie and Samuel actually succeeded. She would most likely hurt herself from extreme depression and rage.

Since Sophie and Samuel dared to do such a despicable thing to her, there's no reason for her to care about their prestige.

Katrina bites her lips, her eyes full of resentment.

Suddenly, there's a loud crash nearby that makes Katrina jump in fright.

Without care for himself, Marcellus kicks the door open for her. He rushes into the room, looking for Katrina everywhere.

On the bed, on the sofa, in the bathroom, in the closet...

After searching every corner of the room, he still can't find Katrina.

At this point, Marcellus is more fl.u.s.tered than ever.

Where on earth is Katrina? Has she been taken away in her drunken state?

At the door, Sophie is listening carefully to the movement inside.

She originally thought that Marcellus would get furious the moment he rushes into the room and sees Katrina lying naked in the bed with ambiguous marks on her skin.

But Sophie doesn't hear the angry shout she was expecting. Instead, she hears Marcellus rummaging through the room and looking for Katrina.

Sophie is puzzled.

Where is Katrina hiding?

The hotel attendant told her that no one besides Melvin had left the room. Did she fly away?

While Sophie is lost in confusion, she suddenly feels her arm being grabbed roughly.

Jumpy from her guilty conscience, she quickly turns around to see Katrina standing in front of her and looking at her with a sneer.

Katrina exclaims loudly, "Sister Sophie! What are you doing here?"

"Katrina, why are you here?"

The moment she sees Katrina, Sophie is stunned with shock and disbelief.

She's certain that Katrina slept with Melvin last night.

How could Sophie not be dismayed to see Katrina suddenly standing behind her? She looks like she's seen a ghost, and her makeup twists a little as her face falls.

Katrina deliberately raises her voice so Marcellus can hear her. Sure enough, Marcellus rushes out of the room at the sound of her voice.

Seeing Katrina intact in front of him, he immediately comes up and asks, "Katrina, are you okay?"

Katrina smiles at him. "I'm fine!"

After making sure that Katrina is okay, Marcellus breathes a sigh of relief.

But he starts to get confused when he recalls the text message he received earlier.

"Katrina, I got a message from you saying you're drunk and that I should pick you up in this room..."

The more Marcellus thinks about it, the stranger he feels.

Katrina looks sober, and he doesn't smell a hint of alcohol on her. Why did she send him that message? Katrina is not the type of person to play tricks on him. Something must have happened.

Instead of answering Marcellus's question, Katrina looks at Sophie with a smile. "I also want to know who took away my phone to send you that message. I wonder what her purpose is!"

Although Katrina is smiling, Sophie finds her tone a little chilling.

With Sophie's arm still in Katrina's grasp, she can't help breaking away. "Katrina, let me go!"

At this moment, Marcellus notices Sophie next to him. He instantly frowns. "Sophie, why are you here?"

Sophie doesn't expect Katrina to catch her eavesdropping. She originally wanted to watch the bustle in secret, but Katrina caught her.

Sophie is eager to prove her innocence. As if nothing is amiss, she says, "I was just pa.s.sing by. I have something else to deal with now. You two have a good talk."

As soon as she finishes talking, Sophie turns around to leave.

Katrina grabs her arm again. "Sister Sophie, don't go. Don't you think your excuse is too perfunctory?"
