The Hidden Betrayal A Game Of Shadows Chinese Drama

I raped someone after drinking. I planned to settle the matter privately and generously gave him two million. Unexpectedly, he turned the tables on me and I ended up being taken to the police station.

---

"Hey, Valerie Barnett, are you coming or not? You're the only one missing."

"I'm on my way," I replied, hurrying into the Hydra's Yonder bar.

As soon as I entered the private box, I was handed several shots of strong liquor.

I suppressed the discomfort in my stomach and continued drinking with them.

"Valerie, look at you, still single at your age. Aren't you lonely?"

I played along, "I'm lonely, so I came here to ask you to introduce me to a boyfriend." I said with a smile.

The door to the private box swung open, and as I stood, I stumbled and accidentally bumped into the young waiter delivering drinks.

I looked at the waiter through my haze. He was quite handsome, so I leaned into him, letting my hands roam freely over him.

With a smirk, I leaned close to his face, stopping about an inch away, and said, "You're quite handsome. Interested in spending some time together?"

He squinted at me, raising his hand, and I thought I had a chance.

The next second, he pushed me away mercilessly, and I crashed onto the sofa. The glass in my hand slipped, shattering on the floor, spilling liquor everywhere.

He said coldly, "Please behave yourself."

The others were already looking at me, and now they started to make a noise.

I sneered, "Young man."

I looked at my liquor-soaked clothes and then at him. "Do you have any idea how expensive this outfit is?"

"I'll pay you back," he said, frowning at me.

"Alright, then spend the night with me," I said with a flirtatious smile, teasing him.

One of them chimed in, "Valerie, that's not what he meant by 'pay.'"

I turned to him and said, "Isn't it all the same?" I turned back to the waiter, "What do you think?"

He left with just one word, "Boring," and walked out of the room.

I was stunned by his behavior.

I bit my cheek, smiling to myself.

"Valerie, that guy is quite stubborn. Ha-ha, I didn't expect that you would be rejected one day."

I just smiled without saying anything, thinking about how to regain my dignity.

Afterward, I returned to the hotel.

By coincidence, I saw that guy from the bar again.

I thought he was really hardworking, he had to work so many jobs in a day?

The alcohol clouded my judgment, and seeing him made me angry.

With a playful attitude, I walked up to him and deliberately bumped into him.

He caught me.

The next second I looked up and kissed him accurately.

He seemed stunned for a moment, then pushed me to the ground.

When I woke up, I found us both naked in bed, his body covered in marks.

I recalled the scene of me pestering him to have sex with me.

I was stunned. I thought that even though I hadn't had sex for a long time, I shouldn't be that horny.

But the reality was, I raped a young man.

I grimaced, wondering what to do.

The man beside me stirred, slowly opened his eyes, and after a few seconds, sat up, glaring at me fiercely.

I looked at him with some embarrassment, pretending it was a common occurrence, just a one-night stand.

I smiled at him, smoothing my messy hair.

"Young man, don't look at me with such a surprised expression. Is this your first time having sex?"

"I'm calling the police."

Hearing that, I couldn't let it happen, so I quickly tried to grab his phone.

"Young man, casual encounters happen all the time," I said, smiling as I reached for his phone. "Besides, you're not losing out. I'm quite a catch, and I haven't complained."

He looked at me incredulously, "How can you be so shameless?"

"Young man, let's talk this over. How much do you want? I'll pay." I resorted to my last tactic.

"Do you think this is something money can buy?" he asked me harshly.

"Of course," I shamelessly replied. "Young man, you're juggling several jobs. Wouldn't you like an easy payday? This is a golden opportunity. Are you sure you want to pass it up?" I tempted him.

"Your family must be struggling, right? Otherwise, why would you be doing odd jobs at such a young age? You must be short on cash."

Seeing his expression change slightly, I knew I had hit the mark.

He put down his phone, looking at me cautiously, "How much can you give me?"

I pretended to think for a moment and said, "Since it's your first time, two million." I raised an eyebrow at him.

He didn't answer immediately.

I watched him, knowing he was struggling internally. But I couldn't afford a rape charge. I'd end up in jail, and he looked so young. Was he even of age?

"Okay." He stood there, still looking at me with disdain.

"Great," I said cheerfully.

I intended to get out of bed but realized I was wearing nothing.

"Young man, do you mind seeing my beautiful body?" I teased him with a smile.

He scanned me from head to toe, eyes filled with disdain, then turned his head away in refusal.

I shrugged. Who cared about that?

I got out of bed, picked up my clothes, and quickly dressed.

I took a check from my bag, filled it out for two million, and handed it to him.

"Here," I said, passing the check to him.

"Take a good look. From now on, let's pretend nothing happened."

I leaned in, gently patting his face, "Young man, go back and watch more porn and learn."

With my bag slung over my shoulder, I strutted out of the hotel in my high heels, laughing.

---

Unexpectedly, I was summoned by the police.

I received a call saying I was accused of rape and needed to go to the police station.

As soon as I entered the station, I saw that brat.

I gasped.

Thinking to myself, that brat actually set me up.

I gritted my teeth, glaring at him.

"Valerie, right?" the officer asked.

I nodded, "Yes."

After sitting down, he asked me a few questions.

When he asked if I had raped that brat, I denied it.

Calmly, I said, "Officer, I know this behavior isn't great, but we have a legitimate relationship. You can check where he went after leaving the hotel."

I fiddled with the ring on my middle finger.

"He's been throwing a tantrum because I haven't been seeing him. I'm really sorry."

In the end, we both got a lecture before being released.

I was displeased with him.

I deliberately grabbed his hand, holding it tightly. He struggled in vain, and we left the station looking intimate under the officer's watchful eye.

I pulled him into my car and drove off.

I stopped at a secluded spot.

I looked at him, my eyes filled with anger, my red lips dry and losing their luster. "What do you mean?"

I was dissatisfied with his actions.

"Are you not letting this go? Didn't you already take the two million?" I asked him.

He looked at me seriously, "Just because you paid, I have to accept it?"

I didn't expect him to say that.

Feeling a surge of anger, I laughed, "Young man, that's not very fair of you."

He suddenly laughed, "That's nothing compared to you, putting a price on your body."

His words were full of sarcasm, and even his smile was mocking.

His words pierced my heart.

I used to think the same way, but in our circle, who could remain untouched by the mud?

"Young man, You're still too naive." I smiled at him.

Didn't owe favors to others if you could solve it with money. If you wanted to gain a foothold in this circle, you had to understand this. Sometimes, money was more useful than anything else. Otherwise, how could there be such a saying as "Money makes the world go round"?

I looked into his eyes, clear and untainted by the world.

Stubbornly holding onto his principles.

"Fine, what do you want?" I suddenly asked seriously.

"Turn yourself in," he said coldly.

I pursed my lips, "Impossible."

I glanced out the window, then back at him, "Young man, anything but that."

I suddenly noticed the marks on his neck, thinking, haven't they faded after a week?

"I'll report you again," he said, getting out of the car.

I watched him in disbelief, shouting after him, "Young man, don't blame me for turning against you then."

He didn't respond, walking along the road.
