Chapter 513 He Has Seen Everything
“Oh! Not at all!” he replied warily, shaking his head.
“Let’s go!” Lizbeth turned to leave without sparing Franco’s lifeless body another glance. It was as though he was erased thoroughly from her memory.
However, she had only moved two steps forward before she stumbled on the bedsheet. Fortunately, she flipped over at the eleventh hour and stood up steadily after regaining her balance.
Nonetheless, the bedsheet slipped off, exposing her in front of Jared. As the faint moonlight shone on her body, barely covered in underwear, her skin appeared to be even fairer and more flawless.
Right that instant, Jared could scarcely take his eyes off the woman with an eye-catching figure like a goddess’.
Sensing something awry, she turned abruptly in Jared’s direction. “You jerk, close your eyes!” she fumed as her face was flushed red. When she wrapped the bedsheet around herself hurriedly, no words could describe her embarrassment at the moment!
Jared turned swiftly and refuted, “I didn’t look at you intentionally. You accidentally yanked the bedsheet down, didn’t you? It has nothing to do with me, okay?”
“Stop retorting!” Lizbeth shot him a warning look. “Heed my words. Don’t you dare tell anyone about this when we go back later!”
“Sure! I won’t tell anyone!” Jared shook his head as he tried to convince her.
When they were back in the mansion again, they saw Josephine pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.
Her eyes lit up when the duo came into view. As Lizbeth looked exceptionally disheveled with the bedsheet, she dashed into her room to get changed.
“Jared, are you injured?” Josephine asked in great concern.
“No, I’m fine.” He shook his head.
“How about Lizbeth? Did anything happen to her?” Josephine asked anxiously.
“I’ve no idea too. Why don’t you ask her yourself?” Jared shrugged his shoulders.
Josephine could only proceed to check on Lizbeth by herself. The moment she stepped into the room, Lizbeth had changed and was staring into the distance by the window. She seemed to be lost in her thought, oblivious to the running tap in the bathroom.
Lizbeth did not even turn when she heard someone’s footstep, knowing that it must be Josephine. Deep down, she was suddenly fearful of facing her friend. Undeniably, she seemed to have fallen for Jared when she was in his arms earlier on. If he intended to force himself on her at that time, she knew she would give in to him willingly too! But he’s your best friend’s husband! Lizbeth Grange, how could you have no sense of shame?
Josephine’s heart wrenched at the sight of Lizbeth, who seemed to be in a trance. She assumed the latter was ashamed of facing her after Franco forced himself on her.
Thus, she consoled Lizbeth softly, “Lizbeth, everything is over. Take a shower and get a night of good sleep, okay? The worst has come to an end. After all, it’s pretty common for women to lose their virginity before marriage nowadays. So don’t dwell over the disgruntling moments, okay? Even if you can’t resist feeling that you’re imperfect in a way, you’re undoubtedly a gorgeous and capable woman. I’m convinced it’s just a matter of time for you to embark on a new life with a great man. Besides, I’ll be by your side despite what you’ve gone through. You must pull yourself together and don’t act impulsively, okay?”
“What! What’re you talking about?” Lizbeth rolled her eyes and finally turned to face her. “That sc*mbag was not in time to do anything to me. He only stripped me before Jared came to my rescue.”
Oh! Great to hear that!” Josephine heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that nothing had happened to Lizbeth.
“Wait a minute…” She was stunned when something came to her mind. “You mentioned that the sc*mbag stripped you, didn’t you? So does it mean Jared had seen you naked?”
Lizbeth blushed at once, blaming herself for spilling the beans. She explained apprehensively, “No! That’s not the case! I was still in my clothes when he came to my rescue!”
“Oh, I see!” Josephine nodded and chuckled. “However, if Jared has seen you naked, I’ll talk him into making it up to you!”
