Chapter 381
Elijah stood there for a moment, his hand clutching his waist as he tried to think clearly. His mind was racing, torn between storming out to search for Sierra and not causing a full-blown scene in front of the students and staff.One of the staff members, noticing his expression, walked over and said gently, “Mr. Elijah, Sierra is an adult. Maybe she just wandered off somewhere or even went home. Why not keep trying to call her?”Elijah inhaled slowly, forcing a calm smile. “You’re right… thank you,” he said quietly, though his voice was strained.The staff member nodded and walked away, and the DJ immediately turned the music back on. The chatter and energy in the hall returned, but for Elijah, nothing felt normal. His mind was clouded, filled with questions and the heavy weight of unease.Could Sierra have gone home? Maybe she’s just tired and turned her phone off?But deep down, something felt wrong. No… she wouldn’t just leave like that without telling me directly.He glanced at

His entire demeanor shifted — calm vanished. Concern carved into his expression as a cold wave settled in his chest. He tightened his grip on the phone, exhaling sharply through his nose.He whispered under his breath, “No, no, no…”His head turned slowly, scanning the dark edges of the parking lot again. This time, with sharper eyes. Something wasn’t right. Sierra wouldn't just leave, not without saying something. Not without picking her phone.And now, her number was off.Elijah’s next move was no longer out of curiosity.It was warily driven by instinct. Something was wrong.At that moment, Elijah's mind was racing, but he knew he had to keep things controlled. He couldn’t afford for Betty to panic — not yet. So he quickly scrolled to her contact and called.“Hello?” Betty’s voice came through the line.“Hey,” Elijah said, forcing a calm tone. “Sierra’s with me — she was really tired and wanted to rest. We’re actually planning to stop somewhere on the way before heading home, so I

Meanwhile, Elijah had just finished his drink and was seated quietly, still waiting. Around him, students were laughing, dancing, and enjoying the end-of-term ceremony. Some were already queuing up for food and drinks while others danced freely on the floor. Elijah's gaze wandered casually over the crowd, but there was a stillness in his eyes—he was waiting.About ten minutes later, Betty returned, looking a bit exhausted. She dropped into the seat beside Elijah and picked up her cup."Where's Sierra?" she asked, brushing a few strands of hair from her face.Elijah glanced sideways at her and shook his head. "Haven’t seen her for a few minutes now. She must be around somewhere. Maybe over there where they’re serving food."Betty nodded slightly and stood up again. “I’ll go check.”As Betty walked off into the crowd, Elijah leaned back in his seat, observing the lively scene. The music thumped gently through the speakers, students swaying and laughing, some still taking photos and vide

As she walked she bumped into someone without knowing that was Daniel. Daniel’s lips curved into a cunning smile as he took a slow step closer, watching Sierra struggle to focus. Her eyes were dim, her movements sluggish. She clearly didn’t recognize him — didn’t even realize who she had bumped into. The drug was working better than he expected. “You don’t watch where you're going to?” he repeated, this time softening his voice even more, adopting a concerned tone with a subtle feminine edge. Sierra blinked at him, her brows furrowing. She was seeing him… differently. In her distorted vision and under the influence, Daniel’s voice sounded higher, and his face, softened by the haze in her eyes, seemed vaguely unfamiliar — almost like a woman’s silhouette under dim lighting. Daniel quickly stepped in front of Sierra, gently blocking her path as he said, “You’re weak. Let me help you.” Sierra paused, still swaying slightly, her vision blurred and mind foggy. But when Daniel added, “Y

As she moved through the crowd, one hand pressing lightly to her stomach, her vision faltered again.Sierra moved slowly through the crowd, her heels clicking unevenly now as she tried to maintain her balance. Her palm rested on her abdomen as a wave of discomfort surged through her. Her breath came shallow, her vision swimming slightly again. She whispered to herself, “Maybe I just drank too fast… maybe I’m just drunk…”As she made her way toward the hallway leading to the restrooms, someone brushed past her and turned with concern.“Hey, are you okay?”Sierra forced a smile and nodded weakly. “Yeah, yeah… I’m fine. Just a bit… drunk.”The person didn’t press further, watching her unsteady walk for a moment before returning to their group.But behind her, a shadow moved.Daniel Everhart rose slowly from his seat, adjusting his shirt and checking the hallway Sierra had just turned into. Without saying anything to his guys, he began walking in the same direction, keeping a few paces be

“Thanks,” Sierra replied flatly, keeping a polite distance as they danced. Her eyes drifted briefly toward Elijah, who was still engaged in conversation with Lana on the other side of the room, laughing lightly at something she said. The sight made Sierra’s mood dip slightly, her movements becoming more reserved.Troy, mistaking her silence for an opening, casually reached out and brushed a hand through a strand of her hair, letting it fall behind her shoulder with a grin. “Even your hair’s perfect. What do you use in it? I’ve never seen—”Sierra immediately stepped back slightly, her tone sharper this time. “Stop that.”Troy blinked, a little caught off guard. “What? Just admiring.”“Admire with your eyes, not your hands,” she said firmly, brushing her hair back herself.Troy raised both palms as if to signal innocence, chuckling awkwardly. “Alright, alright. No harm meant. You just look too good to ignore, you know?”Sierra didn’t answer. Her eyes glanced again toward Elijah… and th
