Betrayed and Broken : My Touch Reveals Your Secrets

Chapter 7

Cindy rubbed her eyes and shook her head repeatedly. “He... is indeed Peter. But how could he possibly be in that room right now?”

Cindy pinched her arm repeatedly. “This isn’t a dream, and that man really is Peter. What on earth is going on?”

Cindy watched as the staff entered the room carrying shopping bags. “The staff are treating Peter very well. They’re also placing the bags near him.”

“Oh my God, what is going on?” Cindy stomped her foot. “How could Peter be… I can’t believe this. But that man really is Peter.”

“What are you doing, ma’am?” asked a staff member, “You’ve been standing here for quite a while. Are you spying on our VVIP customer?”

“VVIP customer? Do you mean that man?”

The staff member nodded. “Please don’t stand there, ma’am. You might make our VVIP guest uncomfortable.”

Cindy sat down in a chair, continuing to watch as the staff came and went from the room. She checked the messages on her phone, massaging her head, which had suddenly started to ache.

“Clara said Peter fell off a bridge. Peter is likely seriously injured and dead.” Cindy glanced at the staff lining up to enter the room.

“But Peter looks fine. He’s even a VVIP guest at this luxury outlet.” Cindy fell silent for a moment. “Wait, isn’t Peter just a poor man? How could he be a VVIP guest?”

Peter stepped out of the room, glancing at Cindy, who was frozen in her seat. The outlet manager and staff were lined up, each carrying a shopping bag. The scene drew the attention of all the customers in the outlet.

“Peter!” Cindy shouted as she hurried over. Her curiosity overcame her fear.

Peter ignored Cindy’s call, but the woman suddenly blocked his path.

“I want to talk to you,” Cindy said, scrutinizing Peter from head to toe. There was nothing special about the man besides his handsome face, but that wasn’t what piqued her curiosity.

“How did you become a VVIP customer? You’re just a poor college student relying on a scholarship to attend school.”

“I don’t know you. Get out of my face right now,” said Peter.

The store manager hurried over to Cindy. “Get out of the way of our VVIP customer before we take decisive action.”

“This man has been lying to all of you. He can’t possibly be a VVIP customer. He’s just a poor college student!” Cindy shouted, pointing at Peter’s face.

The manager immediately called security. “Get this woman out of here!”

“What have you done, Peter?” Cindy grabbed Peter’s hand. “I know you’ve done something!”

Peter began to concentrate. A series of events instantly flashed through his mind. He fell silent as the effects of using his ability set in.

Cindy smiled widely. “See, you can’t explain it to everyone!”

Two security guards entered the store, forcibly dragging Cindy out.

“Let me go! How dare you touch me! I won’t tolerate your rough treatment! I’ll definitely report all of you!”

A man suddenly got out of the car and rushed over to Cindy. “What’s going on? Why are you treating my girlfriend so roughly?”

Peter came out of the store with the manager and the staff. He noticed the tall man hugging Cindy.

Cindy immediately pointed at Peter. “You damn liar! “I’m going to report you to the police, Peter! You’ve been lying to the staff here until they kicked me out of this store!”

“Did you order the staff to kick my girlfriend out, sir?” the man asked with a furious expression.

“Who are you?” Peter asked calmly.

“I’m Cindy’s boyfriend. I...”

“I saw Cindy enter the hotel with a man who had tattoos on his neck and right arm the other day. They were kissing in the hotel lobby.”

Cindy suddenly broke free from the embrace. Her face turned deathly pale. “W-what are you saying, Peter? D-don’t slander me! I... it’s impossible...”

“The Diamond Hotel. I saw Cindy go to that hotel with that tattooed man.”

“Are you cheating on me with my cousin?” The man accused Cindy.

“D-don’t listen to him! He’s a master liar! I would never cheat on you. I....”

A car suddenly pulled up in front of the store. Its arrival instantly put the argument on hold and drew everyone's attention, including Peter's.

“My car’s here.” Peter walked past Cindy and her boyfriend.

A driver got out of the car and opened the door for Peter.

Peter said, “Load those bags into my car right now. I don’t want to linger here.”

The staff lined up neatly to load and arrange the shopping bags into the car.

Cindy stared at the scene with her mouth agape, especially as the staff treated Peter so well.

“Who are you really, Peter?” Cindy muttered.

“Our issues aren’t over yet, Cindy. We need to talk.” The man pulled Cindy into the car. “You have to be honest with me.”

“I’ve never cheated on you at all!”

Peter left the store with a wide smile. He watched Cindy arguing with her boyfriend in the car.

“You deserve it, Cindy.”

“This ability is the real deal.” Peter stared at the pile of bags beside him. “I spent nearly thirty million dollars on all these purchases. That’s an absolutely fantastic amount.”

“I still have a few things I need to prepare before I go to the graduation party tonight.”

“I can’t wait to experience the excitement of tonight’s party.”

Peter visited a few other places in the capital.

Cindy had a huge fight with her boyfriend, then called Clara. Wiping away her tears, she said, “You’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you, Clara.”

Clara was sorting through some clothes on the bed when Cindy called her. “Don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me now.”

“I saw Peter at the Luxury Outlet. He... bought a ton of stuff there.”

Clara held the phone away for a moment, laughing out loud. “Stop joking, Clara. That loser couldn’t possibly afford even the cheapest items there. He just....”

“Peter is a VVIP customer. I saw the staff treating him really well.”

“I’d usually laugh at a funny joke, but I’m really busy picking out a dress right now, Cindy.”

“Oh my gosh, I’m serious, Clara. I really did see Peter there, but he pretended not to know me.”

Clara let out a long sigh. “That’s clearly impossible, Cindy. Simon told me that Peter fell into the river. He’s most likely still in the river and the campus woods, or maybe he’s in the hospital right now.”

“Did you eat something strange that’s making you confused and making things up?” Clara laughed. “There’s no way Peter could buy a single item at that famous outlet.”

Cindy fell silent immediately, but she wasn’t dreaming when she met Peter. “I know you won’t believe me, but....”

“Do you have any proof?”

“No.” Cindy pouted because she hadn’t had time to record it—she’d been too shocked.

“We’ll meet tonight on campus.”

Clara ended the call and picked up a dress. “What’s wrong with Cindy? She’s saying things that don’t make sense.”

Clara immediately called Simon to confirm one thing. “Have you found out where Peter is yet?”
