Chapter 6
Chilly Brown reached out to grab his arm.
In a fit of frustration, Lynne Frank shook her off. Chilly Brown, unable to balance in her high heels, twisted her
ankle and fell into the flowerbed.
Lynne Frank heard the commotion and rushed over, pulling her out of the flowers.
Her injury seemed serious – her ankle was definitely sprained.
Lynne Frank picked her up and hurried to the red Ferrari, placing her in the passenger seat before driving off.
By the flowerbed, one silver high heel was left behind.
With the main players gone, people began to leave the banquet hall one by one.
Tina Susan returned to the hall, which was now empty except for the leftover food and drinks.
The staff members cleaning up gave her sympathetic, gossip–laden glances.
Tina Susan walked slowly out of the banquet hall, her white high heels crunching on the red rose petals scattered across the floor.
The Ferrari was already gone.
“Madam,” a man’s voice called from behind her.
Tina Susan turned, startled. The voice sounded vaguely familiar.
She turned around and saw a man with yellow hair, a mixed–race Georgian–Chinese in his thirties, with sharp eyes,
a high nose, and a generally handsome face. But it was his gaze – slimy and unsettling – that made her uncomfortable.
He extended his hand. “I’m Lee Liam, a Georgian–Chinese.”
Tina Susan didn’t shake his hand, turning away from him instead.
Lee Liam awkwardly retracted his hand. “I’m a friend of Lynne Frank. It’s hard to get a cab from here. Let me give you a ride home.”
Tina Susan responded coolly, “No need. The club provides transport.”
With the 500,000 annual membership fee, there was always a car service. She walked toward the car parked nearby. Lee Liam watched her curvy figure as she walked away, tilting his head and licking his lips with a predatory grin.
It was no surprise that someone as exceptional as Lynne Frank had been with her for three years.

Tina Susan felt a shiver down her spine as she got into the club’s car. She noticed Lee Liam still standing there, looking at her with an unsettling look.
She remembered his phone call with Lynne Frank earlier, and a wave of disgust washed over her.
She gave the driver her address and said firmly, “Let’s go.”
Bored on the drive, Tina Susan picked up her phone and browsed the trending news. The top four stories were all about Lynne Frank, Chilly Brown, and her.
[Lynne Frank rushes Chilly Brown to the city hospital, looking anxious – Is Chilly Brown severely injured or disfigured?]
[Lynne Frank throws birthday party for new girlfriend; Chilly Brown sends her blessings. The two meet in the garden, and then leave together!]
[Lynne Frank’s new girlfriend looks 70% like Chilly Brown – Is this real–life drama like a soap opera?!]
[After six years, are Chilly Brown and Lynne Frank rekindling their old flame, or was it never truly over?!]
The photos and videos spoke for themselves.
One photo showed Tina Susan giving a cake to Chilly Brown, the two standing together, looking strikingly similar.
Chilly Brown’s fans flooded the comments section, some wishing for the couple’s happiness, while others harshly told Lynne Frank’s new girlfriend to back off and stop being the third wheel.
Many fans suspected that Chilly Brown’s injury was some form of jealousy or revenge from Tina Susan, and the insults toward her were unrelenting.
Only a handful of fans pitied Lynne Frank’s new girlfriend.
Tina Susan’s hands shook with rage.
How dare they release her photo without her permission?
In such a high–end club, client privacy was paramount.
There was no way they would release any information without consent. This meant that, at the very least, Lynne Frank, the host, must have agreed to it.
Without wasting a moment, Tina Susan had her lawyer send a formal letter to the websites, demanding they take down the photos and videos for violating her rights.
Within two minutes, the photos and videos were removed.
But it was too late. Thousands of people had already downloaded them, and they continued to spread through private messages and comment sections.
