Chapter 5
Soon, Claire arrived with a group of relatives.
I didn’t know their exact relationships, but they were all faces I recognized from the
wedding.
Claire stood at the front of the group, walking towards me. The corridor was crowded and dark with people.
“Keith, where is Ellie?”
I pointed at the high heels on the floor and urgently replied, “Look, these are Ellie’s high heels. I suspect someone brought her to this hotel. What should we do? We need to rescue her!”
Claire’s relatives looked eager, seemingly ready to kick the door down.
Just as everyone was about to break down the door, a hotel staff member noticed us.
Claire quickly stepped forward and grabbed the staff member’s arm,
“Hurry, open the door! My daughter is inside!”

The hotel staff member was confused, but before they could refuse, they were surrounded by the group.
It was clear the crowd wouldn’t let them leave without opening the door.
Under the pressure, the staff member reluctantly took out the room key, and Claire swiftly swiped it on the door.
But the scene inside shocked everyone.
Eleanor was lying naked on the bed, a similarly naked man on top of her.
Someone beside them was holding a whip, cheering, while Eleanor was crying out “Daddy, Daddy.”
For a moment, Claire stood frozen, staring in disbelief at her daughter.
Quickly, she shoved the relatives outside, kicked the naked man off Eleanor, and threw her coat over Eleanor’s head.
The man staggered to his feet, pointing at Claire and cursing,
“Who the hell are you, ruining my fun? Get the hell out of here!”
Upon hearing this, Claire grabbed her bag and started hitting the man.
“You evil people, how dare you hurt my daughter! I won’t let you get away with this!”
Eleanor finally reacted, panic in her voice as she screamed “Mom!”
The men in the room were shocked. None of them had expected the woman in front of them to be Eleanor’s mother.
One of them, now dressed, tried to explain, “You’re mistaken, I’m just friends with Ellie!”
Claire wouldn’t listen to any excuses and began hitting the man in front of her.
“Get in here and beat these animals! How dare they assault our Ellie!”

“Get in here and beat these animals! How dare they assault our Ellie!”
The relatives outside rushed into the room, starting to punch and kick the men.
Eleanor was in a complete frenzy. Someone pulled out their phone, ready to call the
police.
Eleanor immediately blocked them, clutching Claire’s coat and screaming, “Stop! Stop! Everyone, stop! No one calls the police!”
Hearing this, the relatives stopped, and Claire stared at her daughter in disbelief.
“They didn’t hurt me! They’re my friends, understand? Friends!
“Today, this ends here. No one can say a word about this, no one can call the police!
“Or you can forget about any help from my family in the future!”
The relatives exchanged looks, but no one spoke up. No one wanted to lose the financial support they got from Eleanor’s family.
Just as the group was about to disperse and end the farce, the police arrived.
