Chapter 236 Mandy's eyes briefly sparkled with a sharp gleam, a sign of her quick wit. She thought to herself, this man seemed easygoing, but he was surprisingly observant and not easily deceived.
However, she had already prepared an excuse.
When she looked up again, all traces of calculation had vanished from her gaze, and she once again appeared as the innocent college student she was so good at portraying.
"I couldn't find you this morning," she said sweetly, "so I cto the bar hoping I might run into you here."

At the time, he had been so furious over the Linwoods affair that he'd completely forgotten his promise to her.
Realizing this, his suspicion faded, and he nodded. "Oh, I see." Attempting to rise, he found his legs weak and struggled to no avail.
Mandy quickly offered, "Lethelp you." Liam glanced at her, noticing her clear eyes and the sincere effort as she helped him up. He couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking she seemed quite innocent.
Mandy pretended not to notice his faint smile and acted as if she were struggling to support him, helping Liam to his feet.

"Can you drive?" he asked.
Mandy hesitated but nodded, "Yes, I can." Liam fished the car keys out of his pocket and handed them to her. "I'll need you to drivehtonight." Mandy took the keys, a flicker of cunning passing through her eyes before she quickly masked it. Supporting Liam, she guided him to the car, carefully helping him into the back seat, and then shut the door. As she turned, she raised her eyebrows slightly, a satisfied smirk playing on her lips. Liam slumped against the seat, eyes closed, exhaustion overtaking him completely.
He mumbled his address, barely coherent, before drifting into a deep sleep.
Starting the car, Mandy shifted gears and accelerated out of the parking lot, the car speeding through the vibrant nightscape of Cresthaven.
They entered the affluent district of Cresthaven's city center, the gleaming lights reflecting off the sleek buildings.
Upon reaching their destination, Mandy helped the inebriated Liam to his doorstep. After unlocking the door with his fingerprint, they stepped into the spacious apartment.
As soon as they entered, Mandy's sharp eyes caught the tiny red light of a surveillance camera in the living room corner.
She frowned imperceptibly but quickly regained her composure, guiding Liam into the bedroom.
Her eyes swept the room swiftly, confirming the absence of cameras, and her smile grew more pronounced. She dropped Liam onto the plush bed with little ceremony.
Throughout, Liam remained as unresponsive as a log, utterly at her mercy. Mandy's gaze roamed the bedroom, taking in the surroundings meticulously. The room was bathed in soft cream tones, complemented by dark wooden furniture, exuding both luxury and warmth.
An abstract painting hung above the bed, its colors vivid and intense.
Elegant bedside tables flanked the bed, each supporting a lamp and a few miscellaneous items.
Having confirmed the lack of surveillance, Mandy's expression sharpened, like a hunter eyeing its prey.
She moved lightly to the bed, looking down at the sleeping Liam, her lips curling upward.
"Sir?" Mandy called softly, her voice probing.

"Sir!" she repeated, her tone firmer, but Liam remained motionless, his breathing steady, deeply asleep. Mandy chuckled coldly; he was indeed too drunk to notice anything.

With a sudden movement, she yanked open her blouse, the buttons popping off with a series of sharp cheks, scattering like beads onto the bed and floor. Her open blouse revealed the camisole beneath, adding to her disheveled and vulnerable appearance.
Grabbing her hair, she mussed it up, stray strands falling across her face, ephancing her look of distress. Then she let out a piercing scream, "Ah-please, don't!" Her voice was tinged with a sob, as though she'd just endured something terrible.
Afterward, she clutched her body tightly and fled the bedroom in tears.
