Chapter 474 Taking Care Of The Drunk Woman
Amelia did not want to waste any more time with Cassie, so she moved aside and left the washroom. To her surprise, although Cassie was drunk, she was exceptionally strong. Like a beast, she pounced on Amelia and slammed her against the wall.
Amelia groaned in pain. Ugh, that is going to leave a bruise. She gazed at Cassie, who was pressing against her. After being drunk, she became like an unreasonable madwoman. How unlucky of me to have met her today!
“Let go of me, Cassie!” ordered Amelia through gritted teeth. Cassie raised her head and looked at Amelia drunkenly. She stroked Amelia’s cheeks and asked in a puzzled tone, “Amelia, when I look at you closely, you look quite similar to me. So why does Oscar prefer you over me? I don’t think that I’m inferior to you in any way. Why doesn’t he want me?” Amelia turned her head to the side, avoiding Cassie’s breath, which stank of alcohol.
“You’re drunk. I’ll ask someone to send you back. Let’s talk after you sober up. You should have a good sleep. You won’t remember any of this after you wake up,” coaxed Amelia gently, not wanting to provoke someone who was drunk.
Cassie glared at Amelia, her eyes burning with rage. She raised her hand and tried to scratch Amelia’s face, but Amelia quickly dodged it. She grabbed Cassie’s hand and said solemnly, “Cassie, stop being so unreasonable!”
Cassie flung Amelia’s hand away and slapped her. Amelia was stunned by that slap. She never knew that a drunk person could be so strong. Didn’t people say that drunk people are weak?
Cassie stared at Amelia through blurry eyes. She laughed in delight and said, “Amelia, I’ve finally slapped you. I’ve been yearning to slap you for two whole years. You sl*t! It’s all because of you that I am who I am today! I can’t have children, and the man I love also doesn’t want me anymore. Even the orchestra fired me! You’ve ruined my bright future, and I can only drown my sorrows in alcohol. Look at me! Do I still look human to you?”
Amelia regarded Cassie coldly. Is she pretending to be drunk?
Looking at the state that Cassie was in, Amelia did not feel any pity for her. After all, there must be a reason for her miserable state now. Although Cassie looked quite pitiful, she had brought it on herself. She had been pestering Oscar, dooming their relationship to failure. Amelia, despite being his official partner, did not even hold Cassie accountable. It was ridiculous for Cassie to blame everything on her.
They were both women—she did not understand why a fellow woman would want to make things difficult for her.
“Listen up, Cassie. I have never done you wrong. I am Oscar’s official wife. Even though it was a contract marriage, we are still officially registered as a married couple. Now that you have decided to return, you’re intervening in our marriage. Because of you, our marriage was on the rocks. You have harmed me as well, so you should be apologizing to me,” stated Amelia sternly.
Since Cassie was drunk, her mind was muddled. Her body swayed as she tried to say something, but she collapsed on Amelia instead.
Everything happened so suddenly that Amelia did not know how to react. They were still arguing earlier, but Cassie fell asleep on her in the next second.
Oscar’s voice sounded outside the washroom. Heaving a sigh of relief, Amelia yelled, “Oscar, come in! There’s no one else here.”
As he entered and saw someone leaning against her, he stretched out his hand to lift the person away. However, when he spotted the red marks on Amelia’s face, his expression turned grim.
“What happened to your face?” Amelia shook her head, wanting to avoid that question. “I’m fine, Oscar. Take her away from me. She’s a bit heavy, and I feel like she’s crushing me.”
Oscar took the person away obediently. When he took a closer glimpse at the person, his expression darkened even more.
“Did she hit you?” demanded Oscar.
Amelia touched her face and said, “I’m fine, Oscar. We’ll bring her out first. We know her after all. It’s not nice if we just abandon her in the washroom.”
“You really don’t mind if I carry this woman?” Oscar asked, suppressing his fury. Amelia walked over, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips to calm him down. “Carry her. She’s a poor thing.” Although there was a reason for her miserable state now, Oscar was still somewhat responsible for her downfall.
Oscar gazed into Amelia’s eyes and eventually relented. “I’ll call them and say that we’re going back first,” Amelia said once they exited the washroom.
She called Shane and explained to him briefly what had just happened. Thereafter, she suggested, “Oscar, let’s just send her to a hotel nearby.”
Oscar silently carried Cassie into the backseat of the car before opening the car door for Amelia. He then returned to the driver’s seat and started driving to the nearest hotel.
He asked for a presidential suite and carried Cassie there.
Upon entering the room, Oscar tossed Cassie onto the bed roughly. He walked toward Amelia, pulled her into his arms, and said gloomily, “I’m sorry for making you suffer, Amelia.” He was the one who committed the mistake, but Amelia had to bear the consequences.
Amelia knew why he apologized. Patting his back, she assured him with a smile, “We’re husband and wife. There’s no need for you to apologize to me. However, you’ve got too many girls flocking around you. If there are a few more women coming our way, I might not be able to survive.”
Amelia was just cracking a joke, but to her surprise, Oscar hugged her even more tightly. “I’m sorry.” Amused, she said, “Oscar, I’ve never blamed you. Let bygones be bygones. We’ll just let everything pass naturally, okay?”
Amelia felt guilty when she looked at the state Cassie was in. Back then, she had tried to make Cassie sleep with Oscar just so she could leave him. This was something that she would never forget. She had given Cassie hope but plunged her back into despair again, so much so that Cassie needed to drown her sorrows in alcohol. To be honest, Amelia was partly responsible for it.
It was undeniable that her thoughtless actions had harmed three people at the same time.
She was unhappy, and Cassie had lost so much more despite thinking that she had succeeded. The three of them became entangled with each other and ended up where they were today.
Mixed feelings surged through her. For a moment, she did not know what to do. Ignoring Cassie, who was lying on the bed, Oscar hugged Amelia and said, “Let’s go.”
However, Amelia suggested, “Let’s wait for a while more. It’s not good to leave a drunk girl like that without anyone accompanying her. If she throws up in the middle of the night, accidents might happen.”
Oscar looked at her broodingly. Amelia met his gaze and asked with a chuckle, “Are you trying to guess if I’m being genuine or not?” “You know I won’t think of you that way. I just don’t understand why you’re being so forgiving to your ex-love rival,” Oscar said honestly.
Cassie was like an unremovable thorn in their relationship. From time to time, she would appear and stir up some trouble. Amelia burst into laughter. “Actually, I hate her as much as she hates me. But if we leave her here alone and something bad happens, I’ll feel bad. It’s one thing for me to hate her, but I can’t possibly betray my conscience like that.”
Oscar’s eyes glinted. “I’m lucky and honored to have married you, Honey,” said Oscar sincerely. Amelia smiled. “Then you should be nicer to me in the future.”
“I will.” Just as he promised, Oscar treated Amelia very nicely and gave her all the trust he had.
