Chapter 305
Chapter 305:
Boris sharply averted his gaze, refusing to meet Hester’s questioning stare. After all, it had been Hester who originally proposed exploiting Hailee as their entertainment. He had simply agreed to participate in order to please Hester’s twisted desires.
“You done?” Hailee inquired, her voice carrying the temperature of winter frost as she fixed Hester with an unblinking stare.
Hester, too consumed by her burning hatred to notice Boris’s strange behavior, glared back at Hailee with eyes blazing like hellfire.
“If you’ve exhausted your supply of hot air, then it’s my turn to speak,” Hailee announced, allowing a subtle smile to play across her lips while maintaining her perfectly composed demeanor. “Yes, I did work at Royal Club as a server to supplement my income. But that establishment maintains the highest p>
“Standards—completely legitimate, absolutely high-class. No questionable activities, no selling of personal favors. I’ve never participated in that world p>
Hailee retrieved an official document from her elegant purse and held it aloft for the entire crowd to examine. “Interesting coincidence—I visited the hospital this morning for a thorough gynecological examination because of my menstrual cramps. This medical report states unequivocally that I remain completely untouched by any man p>
The assembled guests stretched their necks and craned forward to verify Hailee’s medical documentation, and it completely substantiated her claims. Understanding slowly dawned across their faces. Hester had been weaving malicious lies from start to finish, spreading deliberate poison about Hailee’s character.
Elliana’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. No wonder Hailee had maintained such remarkable composure. Hailee possessed ironclad proof, and Hester was about to consume her own venomous words. The crowd pointed at Hester and began murmuring among themselves, systematically tearing apart her credibility.
“Hester’s got incredible nerve, lying so smoothly and convincingly. I nearly believed every single word she said p>
“She spun that fabrication like she was reciting absolute gospel truth. That level of deception is genuinely terrifying. We need to distance ourselves from people capable of such manipulation p>

“Professor Sampson presents himself as such a moral authority. How did he manage to raise a daughter who sank this low p>
Murray’s face flushed deep crimson, overwhelmed by complete humiliation.
Hester, boiling with uncontrollable rage and crushing shame, refused to accept defeat. “Hailee, I’ll destroy you completely!” she screamed with primal fury, launching herself toward Hailee in a blind rage.
Elliana prepared to intervene and shield Hailee when the massive doors to the banquet hall suddenly burst open with dramatic force.
A frigid, razor-edged male voice resonated through the entire hall with unmistakable authority. “I’m here to protect Hailee. Who’s got the guts to lay a finger on her p>
The crowd pivoted toward the entrance, their collective attention magnetized by the sound echoing through the banquet hall. A sharp intake of breath swept across the room like wildfire. Merlin had arrived! Merlin commanded a reputation built on ice and steel—his piercing gaze carved distance between himself and others, while his notorious absence from social gatherings transformed his rare appearances into events of profound significance.
