NovelGoldChapter 238 It turned out that she was the one who had brought him home.
Liam let out a sigh of relief, but his gaze was immediately drawn to the image of Mandy hurriedly leaving.
In the video, Mandy appeared disheveled and emotional, clutching herself as she ran out of the bedroom, tears streaming down her face.
(0_0)? Watching this unfold, Liam nearly choked on his own spit.
His eyes were wide with shock, his face a mask of disbelief.
What on earth had happened? Had he gotten so drunk last night that he lost control? He vehemently denied this idea in his mind.
No, it couldn't be. He wasn't that kind of person.
But the surveillance footage was right there in front of him, undeniable. He couldn't ignore it if he tried. Liam: ".
"1 He realized he needed to find that girl and get to the bottom of this.
After getting up, he went through his morning routine, changed clothes, and prepared to leave.

A faint memory of a conversation at the bar's entrance flickered in his mind.
It seemed, perhaps, that he had indeed asked her to drive him home? Liam was at a loss for words.
He had really drunk too much, enough to do something as reckless as asking a girl he barely knew, whose nhe didn't even remember, to take him home.
With a deep look at the umbrella, Liam pulled open the door.
Inside the elevator, the conversation between two middle-aged women reached his ears.
"Did you hear? Last night, a girl was nearly assaulted right at our neighborhood entrance." "It's all over the group chat." "Going out late at night is so dangerous for girls." "Exactly, and who knows why that young lady was out past ten?" Liam felt a chill run through him as he listened.
Could they be talking about the girl who drove him home? Was she assaulted because she took him home? The thought filled him with an overwhelming sense of guilt.
He rushed downstairs to check the security footage at the guard's office. Sure enough, it was Mandy.
Seeing Mandy's helpless figure in the video made Liam's heart clench.
He drove straight to Cresthaven Institute of Technology, intending to find Mandy, but he didn't even know her name.
So, he went directly to the police station, where he learned that Mandy had almost been assaulted the previous night, but fortunately, the police had arrived in tto save her.
The police also provided him with Mandy's nand phone number.
At a café across from the school, the warm sunlight streamed through the windows, casting golden patches on the wooden table.
Liam and Mandy sat across from each other.
Mandy looked incredibly tense, her hands clenching the hem of her shirt so tightly that her knuckles were white. Her eyes darted around nervously, clearly still shaken from the previous night's events.
Seeing her so vulnerable and frightened, Liam's heart ached.
"I'm really sorry about last night," he said, his voice low and filled with remorse.
Mandy's breathing was uneven. She picked up her coffee, trying to steady herself, but her hands were trembling, causing the cup to clink against the saucer.
Her distress only deepened Liam's guilt.
Nearly assaulted twice in one night-it was no wonder she was terrified.
Though he hadn't meant for it to happen, he had caused her distress.

If he hadn't asked her to drive him home, she wouldn't have had tom return to schoof so fate and run into return to trouble. Liam rubbed his temples, overwhelmed with regret.
"I had too much to drink last night," he attempted to explain, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"It's okay, I know you're a good person..." Mandy stammered though her eyes were brimming with unshed tears, making her look heartbreakingly fragile. Liam sighed, knowing that no words could truly make up for the ordeal she had endured.
He pulled out a card and pushed it across the table to Mandy.
"There's a hundred thousand dollars on here, as a compensation for what you went through."
Mandy bowed her head lower, her & long bangs hiding the gleam in her eyes. Liam assumed she felt he was trying to buy her off. He had no idea that Mandy was barely containing her excitement.
Inwardly, she celebrated: This is it! All that acting last night paid off.
Claire, soon I'll have the money.
Today I get the cash, tomorrow I'm off.
You'll stay hand take care of things, and our family will be perfectly happy.
The only regret was that the man in front of her was exactly her type.
She hadn't even had the chance to enjoy that.
But it didn't matter; no man could compare to Claire.
