Chapter 240: Can’t Hide It from Him
Birthday party scene.
Evan Hughes felt like he’d never been more humiliated in his entire life. Which two shameless individuals dared to do such a thing in his house? Once today is over, he fears his reputation will be completely ruined by this pair.
He immediately ordered a servant to turn off the projector.
The servant quickly walked over to turn off the projection, but just then, someone exclaimed, "Look! The one inside is Coralie Hughes!"
The servant froze at those words, staring at the projection in disbelief.
In the video, the two people were facing the direction of the camera, their faces clearly visible.
Coralie Hughes! The woman inside was actually Coralie Hughes!
His precious daughter!
Evan Hughes’ face instantly turned deathly pale, filled with anger and humiliation.
A surge of intense rage boiled up from his chest.
If Summer Monroe hadn’t cured his cardiovascular disease, he might have passed out again right there.
But now, he almost wished he could pass out!
The guests erupted into even more fervent discussion—
"Oh my God! I never thought it would be Coralie Hughes herself!"
"Honestly, it’s not surprising. Who else would be so reckless to do such a thing in someone else’s house? It must be her..."
"Wait, so the woman is Coralie Hughes, but who’s the man?"
Someone quickly recognized the man and said in shock, "Isn’t that Mason Monroe?"
Mason Monroe’s face also appeared on the screen.
The video was HD, even showing the pimples and acne scars on Mason Monroe’s face clearly.
Upon seeing Mason Monroe’s face, everyone was even more stunned.
"Oh my God! Coralie Hughes has no standards, does she? Even Mason Monroe is down for this kind of daytime activity..."
Many people who hadn’t heard the name before asked in confusion, "Who’s Mason Monroe?"
"Don’t you know? Mason Monroe is Coralie Hughes’ cousin!"
"What?! Cousin?! Even with that kind of kinship? Coralie Hughes is really something!"
"She usually acts so haughty, like a princess. I never thought she could be so desperate and cheap. Had I known, I would’ve gone for it too!"
"Hahaha, you just might have a chance; you’re not handsome, but you’re better looking than Mason Monroe!"
"Not necessarily; maybe she sees something beyond looks, maybe Mason Monroe has some special talents!"
These were the kinder remarks, while worse comments filled the entire hall.
A guest with the surname Xiang sighed and advised Evan Hughes, "Quickly get someone to turn off the projector! This is such a scene! You should find her a mentor to guide her properly!"
Evan Hughes finally snapped out of his embarrassment and shock.
He hurried over to turn off the projection himself, then without regard for the guests, went upstairs with a trusted servant to look for Coralie Hughes.
Summer Monroe listened to these filthy words, not feeling pleased at all, but she knew that if she hadn’t noticed the odd scent of the incense, she would have been the one being attacked by these vile people.
Despite being surrounded by so many people in the hall, she felt utterly alone.
Even with all her malice, Coralie Hughes had her father to protect her, but what about her?
She had... nothing.
Just then, a large hand pressed down on her shoulder.
Summer Monroe instinctively turned her head, seeing Damian Knight looking at her with a teasing smile, saying, "In the one hour I was gone, quite a lot happened... Let me guess, how much credit do you take?"
Damian Knight had been dealing with a mysterious adversary, and upon entering, he heard about what had happened at the birthday party. Shocked, he immediately went looking for Summer Monroe.
Seeing her standing in the corner, apparently unharmed, he finally relaxed, even jokingly teasing Summer Monroe in good spirits.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the desolation on Summer Monroe’s face.
Damian Knight’s heart tightened again, frowning as he asked, "What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
