C145 Sara's Betrayal!(1)

"Lydia, stop messing around."

Reece held on to his will and pressed down on the restless Lydia. However, a unique fragrance in the air was numbing his senses.

He frowned and clenched his fists.

This won't do.

His rationality and calmness would collapse at any moment.

Reece grabbed the bed sheet and tried to tie her up, but he was met with an icy glare.

However, when he pulled the bed sheet, he broke a glass bottle. The liquid inside quickly evaporated, and a strong fragrance rushed into his nose.

Reece frowned. "Not good. This is..."

He raised his hand to cover his nose and mouth so that he wouldn't inhale the medicine.

However, it was already too late. His rationality and calmness had completely collapsed at this moment.

...

The next day.

When the effects of the medicine completely dissipated and her consciousness gradually returned, Lydia felt as if her head was about to explode.

Lydia rubbed her temples and slowly opened her eyes.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out. She stood up and wanted to sit up. "Sarah, you're up..."

When she saw the person lying beside her, her face instantly turned pale.

Shock, surprise, and anger surged in her heart. What was going on? Why was Reece here?

And he wasn't wearing any clothes.

Lydia suddenly lowered her head and glanced at her shoulder. When her starry eyes touched the strawberry mark on her shoulder, her mind went blank.

This...!!!

She froze for a second before a ball of fire shot out from the bottom of her eyes and kicked Reece off the bed. She gritted her teeth and roared, "Reece, you bastard!"

With a loud thud, Reece fell heavily onto the ground.

The pain from his body made him instantly wake up.

He did not refute the girl's accusations. There were some things that were wrong to do.

"..."

"Sarah, what's wrong?"

The two of them were too loud. Justus asked worriedly from outside the door, "Sarah, stop messing around. Open the door and we can talk."

Hearing the name 'Sarah', a complicated emotion flashed across Lydia's eyes.

However, she did not have the time to think about it. She quickly covered herself with the sheets and rushed into the bathroom.

After closing the door, she leaned against the wall with a headache and could not accept the situation.

She had obviously drank with Sara last night. Why... Why did she sleep with Reece?

She was confused as she put on her clothes.

When she turned around and walked back to the room, her starry eyes coincidentally saw something similar to a spray on the trash can.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks and bent down to pick it up.

When she saw the words and the effects of the medicine, her face turned pale.

How could there be such a thing in the room?

Her first reaction was that it was brought by Reece. However, she knew him well enough not to do such a despicable thing.

Then, what about this thing?

Only Sara and her were staying in this room. If she and Reece were excluded, then there was only one person left.

It was Sara!

"Sara, didn't you tell me to come here to have a good talk with you? I promise you, we'll have a good talk. Can you please open the door?" Justus's voice sounded from the other side of the door. It was only then that Lydia came back to her senses.

No, it couldn't be.

There must be a misunderstanding. Her best friend would never plot against her.

No, it couldn't be.

She silently comforted herself. With a pale face, she picked up the spray from the trash can and stuffed it into her pocket before walking out of the bathroom.

By the time she walked out of the bathroom, Reece had already finished putting on his clothes.

Their eyes met, but neither of them could say anything.

"…"

"…"

Lydia pursed her lips and broke the silence in a low voice. "Did you come to the hotel last night, Sara?"

"…"

Although Reece didn't say anything, she could tell the answer from his expression.

It was Sara who called him last night.

When she realized this, her heart skipped a beat. She had fainted after drinking a few cups last night, and she still had a sliver of hope in her heart.

Standing still, her body trembled.

At this moment, the door opened from the outside.

Sara walked in with breakfast and Justus. Their gazes met, and the room was momentarily silent.

The four of them glanced at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Little Violet, you're awake? I bought you the soy milk you love to drink. It's still warm. Hurry up and try it." In the end, Sara broke the silence and smiled as she handed a cup of soy milk to Lydia.

Lydia glanced at the soy milk in front of her with her dark eyes. Her gaze finally landed on Sara. She pulled her out of the room with a dark face. "Let's talk."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you drink some soy milk first to sober up?"

"No need."

Lydia coldly refused and dragged Sara to the balcony.

"Why?" On the balcony, she squeezed out three words while ignoring Sara and Lydia.

Being stared at by her sharp gaze, Sara felt guilty and avoided her eyes, pretending to be confused, "What, why? Lyan, I don't understand what you're talking about. Are you still drunk?"

Although Sara's face was calm, her hands were fidgeting with each other when she spoke.

Lydia clearly remembered that every time Sara lied, she would habitually make this gesture.

Her heart sank as she looked at Sara's hands.

"Sara."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know why you can't hide your lies from me every time?" Lydia smiled bitterly and pointed at Sara's hands that were tightly clenched together. "Because every time you lie, you always hold your hands together in nervousness."

"!!!"

Sara's body stiffened.

When she lowered her head, she realized that her hand had been gripped so tightly.

At this point, Sara understood that she could not hide it anymore.

"Why did you plot against me? Why did you deliberately put something in my wine? Why, why!" With red eyes, Lydia smashed the plastic bottle on Sara's face and roared angrily, "Tell me, why!"

"Because he likes you," Sara explained in a low voice with reddened eyes. "That's why I can't let you and Reece divorce. Only by cutting off all his hopes will I have a sliver of a chance."

Lydia was stunned. 'He? Justus?'

It made sense. The only person who could make Sara betray their friendship was Justus.

She could not help but smile bitterly as she thought about Sara, "You chose to betray our friendship for a man and plot against me?"

"I really love Brother Justus."

Lydia did not know what to feel in her heart when she saw Sara's infatuation. She could only clench her fists and pinch her nails until they turned red.

For a moment, she couldn't even hate Sara, but this time, she had really stepped on her bottom line. She hated people betraying her the most.

No matter who it was, no matter what their motives were, she couldn't forgive them.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the unbearable feeling in her heart.

"Don't worry. We won't see each other again. I don't like him, so I won't be a hindrance to your happiness. But as for you and me... we aren't suitable to be best friends anymore."

With that, she turned around and left.

Seeing her back, Sara knelt on the ground in guilt and cried like a baby, "I am sorry, Lian, I am sorry, please forgive me, please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me... I'm sorry."

In the quiet space, the girl's hoarse cries hurt her heart.

Under the sunlight, her thin body trembled slightly. At that moment, she wanted to turn around.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to leave.

"Lydia!" Sara screamed in agony as she watched her disappear into the corner.

In the past, she would always come back every time she recognized her. However, this time, the girl didn't come back.

Sara hugged her legs and buried her face between her legs, repeating, "Lydia, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Do you love me that much?"
