Chapter 278 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Oriana wasn’t sure whether the key was in the Robert’s home or the Paula’s home. But she was ready to try her luck. Nora and Damien hadn’t divorced yet, so Nora’s room must be the master’s bedroom.

Oriana avoided everyone, and finally arrived at the master’s bedroom. She pushed open the door of the master’s bedroom and walked in.

The master’s bedroom was low-key and luxurious. Oriana looked around and opened the drawer of the bed cabinet. Soon, she saw a small brocade box in the bottom drawer. She quickly opened the brocade box, and there was a key in.

Oriana’s eyes lit up. She had an intuition that the key was the key to the forbidden place. She had finally found it!

Oriana took the key and quickly left the master’s bedroom, heading back to the party hall.

But as she walked through the hallway, she sighted Nora and Crystal.

Oriana’s panicked. She held tighter to the key, and wore a blank expression.

When she reached where Crystal and Nora Stord, she straightened her back and stared calmly at the due.

“Oriana, what’s your relationship with Deacon?” Crystal questioned impatiently.

“If I tell you that there’s nothing going on between us, and that we can’t even friends, would you believe?”

“Oriana, why are lying? Do you think that I’m a foul?” Crystal didn’t believe her.

“Look, no matter what I say, I know that you won’t believe it. Why don’t you just ask Mr.Armstead? Why waste your time on me?“

Crystal was so angry, but she restrained herself from doing anything that she would regret.

Oriana’s calm attitude particularly angered her the more. She gritted her teeth, and said,

“Oriana, you know that Deacon is my fiancee, why are you going about seducing him? Aren’t you just shameless?”

“Crystal, If something really happened between Deacon and I, would you blame me or your fiancee? Why don’t you interrogate him?

“And just so you know, he is also harassing me sexually. Take care of your man and tell him to stay away from me!” Oriana added. Then she turned around and walked away.

Crystal stomped her feet in anger, as she stared at Oriana’s unrestrained figure.

She pulled Nora’s sleeve, and muttered, “Mum, Oriana is so arrogant! Not only did she gain grandma’s favour, she even went on to confuse Deacon. She is trying to steal everything that I cherish! Are we really going wait until she kills Us?

Nora’s face was rather gloomy. She felt a sense of crisis and really couldn’t wait until things got out of control. If things continued this way, then they would eventually lose everything.

“Crystal, don’t worry, mum has a plan.” Nora assured confidently.

Crystal’s eyes lit up and she quickly asked joyously, “Really? What’s the plan, mum?”

Nora quickly called a maid. She whispered something to the maid. The maid nodded respectfully and left.

Oriana had gotten the key. She wanted to leave the Robert family to avoid any more trouble.

She looked around but couldn’t find Marvin. She walked around and searched for Marvin.

At this moment, she was just at the edge of the swimming pool when she lowered her head and stared at her phone, as she searched for Marvin’s number.

Suddenly, a maid rushed over and bumped into her.

Oriana was unable to stand firm, and with the fact that there was water in the pool, her legs felt slippery. Her phone suddenly dropped and she fell into the pool.

Oriana fell into the icy water. She could swim, so she quickly moved her hands and feet to the upstream.

But soon, she realized that she had lost the key.

Oriana could only turn around and search for the key. When she found it, the key was at the bottom of the swimming pool.

She swam over, picked up the key in her palm, and quickly went upstream.

However, before she could reach the surface of the water, her foot got stuck in something.

Oriana tried to pull her foot back, but she couldn’t.

Slowly, she felt all her strength wither, and there seemed to be a terrifying force under the water that was dragging her.

Oriana slowly began to lose her consciousness, as her bady continued to sink.

Could it be that she was about to drown?

Oriana had thought about several ways that she would die, but she never thought that it would be through drowning.

Oriana’s heart was aroused by a desire to survive. She wanted to live, because she still had a lot of things to do. Now that she had the key in her hand, she could enter the forbidden area to find the second treasure box that was left by her mother!

She didn’t want to die!

She wanted to live!

Who would save her?

Deacon left the party hall and was about to leave. He got into his Rolls-Royce phantom car. At this moment, he suddenly fell breathless and stuffy in his chest.

He instantly had difficulties in breathing. Deacon raised his hand and adjusted the tie on his neck, but it was still not better.

Deacon quickly pushed open the driver’s door. He got out of the car and returned to the party hall

Deacon returned to the party hall. He searched for Oriana in the crowd, but after looking around. he couldn’t find her.

Deacon had a bad premonition. He immediately reached out and grabbed a waiter. “Where’s Oriana? Have you guys seen her?” He asked.

“No, sir.” The waiter shook his head. Deacon let go of the waiter. He continued searching around the hall. Everyone was dancing and laughing happily. They were all busy and no one noticed Oriana’s disappearance.

Deacon suddenly stretched out his right leg and kirked a table,

“Will y’all shut the f uck up! Where’s Oriana? Did you all realize that Oriana was gone?”

The table fell over, and all the food and wine on it fell to the ground, causing a loud, crashing sound.

The party hall that had been noisy some seconds ago instantly became quiet.

Everyone stared at Deacon in dismay. Deacon had lost his temper, and he looked really frightening,

“Is Oriana gone?”

“I thought she was here just now? Some whispers were heard.

What are you guys still doing? Hurry up and find Oriana for me! If something happens to Oriana, none of you will get away with it!” Deacon yelled furiously.

Everyone shook in fear. They couldn’t understand what Oriana disappearance had to do with them. Wasn’t Deacon being too unreasonable?

However, Deacon’s current appearance was really scary. None of the guests had seen him lose his temper before.

At this moment, no one dared to mess with him.

Everyone quickly dispersed in search of Oriana.

In no time, someone found her in the swimming pool, and instantly shouted,

“Mr. Armstead, Miss Hendrix is here! Miss Tart has fallen into the pool!”

The swimming pool was relatively devoid of people since everyone were at the party, hence it was understandable as to why no one saw when she fell

If it wasn’t for Deacon’s arrival, no one would have found out about Oriana.

Deacon hastily walked over. He came to the edge of the swimming pool. The water was crystal clear, and he saw Oriana below.

Oriana slender body had already sunk to the bottom of the water. Her long starry dress and her long hair all sca ttered in the water.

Deacon’s eyes widened in shock. Before he could give it a thought, he had already jumped into the swimming pool. Deacon swam with agility and speed. He immediately saw that Oriana’s leg was stuck. He swam over and pulled out her foot.

He stretched out his right arm, then he wrapped around her waist, and he swam up with her.

“President Armstead has reduced Oriana!” Someone shouted.

Deacon’s body was wet. He placed Oriana on the ground, and someone quickly placed his finger under her noise.

Oriana was already breathless! The man was so frightened that he fell to the ground. No one would have thought that a birthday party would turn out to be that fatal.
