Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 173: Returning the Favor

The large room was filled with the scent of passion.

Traces of their lovemaking were left in every corner.

The river view outside the window was as beautiful as ever, the dazzling lights enchanting.

In front of the giant floor-to-ceiling window wall, the bodies of a man and a woman intertwined, rising and falling...

...

Thea Tate was interrogated at the police station all night, and Thomas Tate spent a large sum of money to bail her out the next morning.

When Thea walked out of the police station, she was still wearing that revealing lingerie.

Thomas went to pick her up personally, and upon seeing her scantily clad outfit, his face immediately darkened.

"Look at yourself, how you dress, how could I, Thomas Tate, have such a shameless daughter!" Thomas reprimanded angrily. "You need to figure out your identity, you’re the eldest daughter of the Tate Family, not a streetwalking prostitute!"

Thea drooped her head, following behind Thomas, feeling indignant. "Dad, I almost succeeded. Once I become Silas Sheffield’s woman and bear his child, we’ll have leverage."

"Can’t you just give me some peace of mind?" Thomas’ face was stormy. "What good does it do us to offend the Sheffield Family?"

Crestwood’s summers are very hot.

The interrogation room didn’t have air conditioning, just a small ceiling fan.

Thea had been inside all night, hadn’t bathed, her body was sticky with sweat, her face oily, makeup smudged, hair disheveled, and looking as disheveled as could be.

"I think you’ve truly lost your mind!" Thomas’ chest heaved with anger. "What were you thinking, drugging Silas Sheffield! Hurry back, clean yourself up, and accompany me to the Sheffield’s old residence to apologize!"

Back at the Tate residence.

Mrs. Tate, Marilyn Linton, was stunned at her daughter’s ghastly appearance, "How did Thea end up looking like this?"

Thomas was fuming, shouting angrily, "You still have the nerve to ask, look at the daughter you raised, constantly going out and making a fool of our family!"

"What do you mean the daughter I raised? Is she only my daughter?" Marilyn retorted furiously, fighting with Thomas.

Thea said nothing, heading upstairs to shower.

Downstairs, the fierce argument between Marilyn and Thomas continued.

After showering, Thea lay on her bed, feeling drowsy.

She hadn’t slept all night and was exhausted, wanting nothing more than to catch some sleep.

Thea closed her eyes as drowsiness overcame her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, the door to her bedroom was pounded fiercely.

It wasn’t so much knocking as it was banging.

From outside came Thomas’ angry voice, "Open the door!"

Thea was too tired to open her eyes, letting him bang away.

With a loud "bang", Thomas kicked the door open.

Enraged, he stormed into Thea’s room, yanking her off the bed and flipping her over with a loud slap.

The slap echoed throughout the entire room.

Marily also stormed in angrily.

In the past, when Mr. Tate threw fits at Thea, Marilyn would always protect her daughter.

But this time, Thomas slapped Thea hard right in front of her, and rather than scolding him, she shouted along, "Thea, get up!"

Thea was left dazed by the slap.

Half her face stung painfully, a constant buzzing in her ears.

Though Thomas was furious earlier, he hadn’t been angry enough to hit her.

Her mind was in chaos, unsure of the current situation.

"Why did you hit me?" Thea realized, upset and wronged, tears falling immediately, her voice stubborn.

"You still have the nerve to ask? Look at the stupid things you’ve done!" Thomas threw a phone at her.

Thea, perplexed, picked up the phone, her eyes widening instantly.

On the phone screen was a scandalous expose about her involvement in orgies in Freedonia!

How did it come to this!

Thea’s heart pounded painfully, instantly awake!

Just half an hour after the release, the post had over 50,000 comments and shares.

In such a short time, there were so many interactions, views must have surpassed 100,000.

Thea was in turmoil, her hands trembling with fear.

She couldn’t bring herself to lift her head and look at her parents’ expressions because the exposés were all true.

She had always portrayed herself as a well-bred, graceful young lady before them, her every action dignified.

The elders had always praised her, unaware of the side she concealed from them!

It all started from the night of her graduation when she was ruthlessly rejected by Silas Sheffield.

After four years of pursuing him, she confessed one last time only to be unapologetically turned down, even his gaze filled with disdain.

His loathsome gaze pierced her deeply, leaving her heartbroken and questioning herself.

In Freedonia, to combat loneliness, she indulged with a group of international students, living a hedonistic and chaotic life.

In that circle, promiscuity was hardly worth mentioning.

Seeking thrills, she had participated in orgies multiple times, witnessing the darkest, most decadent sides of the wealthy on cruise liners in international waters.

Scrolling through, she found the exposé straightforward yet incomplete, with videos showing only mild scenes.

Viewing the videos, her face gradually whitened.

Even though the footage was minimal, she knew the exposer must have complete versions.

She exited that post, opened the trending searches, and with a glance felt her heart drop to the depths.

Several entries were related to her on the trending list.

#TateHeirnessChaoticPrivateLife#

#TheaTateOrgy#

#TheaTateAbortion#

#TheaTateSugarDaddyActor#

Seeing these entries related to her, Thea’s face turned ashen, her temples throbbing.

She had kept these hidden so well, not even telling her closest friends in the country.

How did it suddenly get leaked?

A name flashed in her mind.

Silas Sheffield...

It must be him!

Who else but him had the power to uncover her dirt so thoroughly?

This was Silas Sheffield’s revenge.

Silas had mentioned at Mrs. Sheffield’s birthday banquet that the day after, which was yesterday, was her last chance to apologize.

If she didn’t, he would publicly reveal her deeds online.

Yesterday, she aimed for one last shot, daringly drugging Silas Sheffield.

She thought, even if she failed, she would fully fall out with the Sheffield Family, as Silas was already set to cut off ties with the Tate Family; she had nothing to lose.

If she succeeded, she’d be Silas’ woman and luck might even have her bearing his child.

At that point, even if Mrs. Sheffield disliked her, she wouldn’t abandon the Sheffield bloodline.

Perhaps she could use the child to drive Clara Sterling out of the Sheffield Family, taking her place as the wife of the Sheffield’s CEO.
