+10 pearls
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman spoke up. T… I think I saw a girl enter your room. I was
one of the hotel’s janitors back then.”
This woman instantly caught Elias’ attention. He took out his phone, found Amanda and
Grace’s photos, and showed them to the woman. “Was she one of these two?”
The middle-aged woman studied the photos for a long time before identifying Amanda.
She pointed to Amanda’s photo, saying. “I think it was this girl. I remember that she
seemed very anxious at the time.”
Amanda Elias’ heart clenched for a moment. It really was Amanda! So, she did enter my
room after all. He then asked, “Do you still remember when it was?”
The middle-aged woman thought about this for a long time. “Well, I don’t quite remember
this anymore, but it was probably just after 10.00PM. It was normally around this time
when I got to cleaning the 16th floor.”
10.00PM, huh… That was when the celebration party ended. So, Amanda came after I got
escorted back to my room? Elias handed the phone to Yacob before looking at everyone in
the room. “Does any of you still remember this lady? Does anyone remember having seen
her that night?”
Everyone looked at Amanda’s photo and began searching their minds for any memory of
her. After all, she and Elias had married in secret, so no one even knew that she had been
his wife. Even if she had shown up at the celebration party back then, no one would have
recognized her.
At last, someone recognized Amandla. All of a sudden, a female ex-employee of the hotel
said, “I think I’ve seen this lady before. Yes, I do remember her. She came looking for you
at the celebration party at the time, but I told her you were drunk and had gone back to
your hotel room, so she left. I thought she was the new secretary or something”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLight sparkled in Elias’ eyes. So, Amanda really was in Flimwood when the celebration
party took place? Doesn’t this along with the ex-janitor’s testimony-mean that she did
enter my room that night? But why was Grace sleeping next to me when I woke up? Who
can explain it?
Just when he was confused, the ex-hotel manager spoke again. “Mr. Winters, I wonder if I
should tell you something about the other girl…”
The other girl? Elias took the phone and swiped to Grace’s photo before showing it to the
man. “You mean her? What do you want to say about her! Spill it!”
The ex-hotel manager tried to remember that particular night’s situation. He replied, “I
don’t know if this will be of any use to you, but at around 6.00AM on the next day, I went
up to the 16th floor to deal with something-a guest who checked into their hotel room and
found that the sheets were dirty, I think. When I passed by your room, I noticed that the
door to your room was ajar. Just when I was wondering why, I saw this girl enter your
room.”

Alerted, Elias and Yacob immediately exchanged a brief look. This is a key piece of
information! “Are you sure this girl was the one you saw? Could you be mistaken?” Elias
asked. After all, Amanda and Grace looked totally different from each other.
The ex-hotel manager studied Grace’s photo several more times before he replied, “No,
there’s no mistake about it. I’m sure this was the girl I saw. She looked so sweet and
gentle, I despised her in my heart at the time, thinking it disgraceful of her to start
prostituting herself at such a young
age.”
Elias fell silent. So, Grace entered my room at around 6.00AM, while Amanda did so at
around 10.00PM the night before. Did Amanda leave early in the middle of this? Was that
how Grace took advantage of the opportunity? This seems to be the only way to explain
how they had both entered my room back then, which means that I did sleep with Amanda
that night. As for Grice….. He was almost half awake at around 6.00AM that day. If he had
done anything to Grace, he would surely have some memory of it, but he didn’t. He
remembered that it was 7.00AM when he opened his eyes.. And row, these testimonies
were enough to prove that Grace was lying.
He sat on the couch, his arm resting on the armrest as he propped up his forehead with
slender fingers. Finally, he closed his eyes and said impassively, “All of you may leave
now.”
Seeing that he had spoken, Yacob said, “Alright, everyone, that’s all about it. All of you
may now go to Mr. Jones to get your payment. Our chauffeur will send all of you home.”
Everyone thus slowly left the living room.
Standing beside the man, Yacob ventured after everyone else was gone, “Mr. Winters, Miss
Murphy has probably lied.”
“Mm-hmm…” Elias honestly never expected Grace to have lied. He had been inclined to
believe Amanda until now; however, now that he had found out that Grace might actually
be lying, he had mixed feelings about it. I slept with Amanda on the night of the
celebration party, so the positive result on the pregnancy test strip in her hand was real
tohen I asked for a divorce. She was really pregnant back then… Resentment swelled in
him at the thought that he had lost his own child.
Grace was on tenterhooks tonight. She was confined in the ward, unable to take even one
step out of it. She didn’t know where Elias had gone or what he was doing, but she felt an
inexplicable feeling of panic, as though something was going to happen. And now, it was
already close to midnight. She didn’t know if the man had returned, nor was she able to
get through to him on the phone.
Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly kicked open in a fit of deep, murderous rage.
Grace swung around to look at the door. Seeing that it was Elias, she immediately wore a
look of delight. “You’re back at last, Elias! Where have you been? I was really worried
about you—”

voice,
