Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 385

Selene made her way toward the lounge. Ever since she’d uncovered Harrison’s scheme, she’d tipped Adrian off, and together, they’d decided to turn the tables—luring both Harrison and Felicity straight into the trap.

She had been wondering how best to expose their plot. If she confronted them directly in front of everyone, Harrison would inevitably twist things, accusing her of orchestrating the whole affair. But now, with the evidence Adrian had just handed her, Selene could finally bring their secrets into the light—and do so without a shadow of doubt.

She asked someone to fetch the key and unlocked the door. Instantly, a dense fragrance, tinged with the metallic sting of blood, hit her nose.

She coughed, wincing at the nauseating sensation that rose in her throat.

Behind her, several heads popped up, eyes wide with curiosity, craning to see what lay inside.

Selene was about to step in when Adrian threw an arm out, blocking her path.

“Careful!” he warned, and took the lead, entering first while Selene stayed close behind.

Inside, they found Felicity sprawled on the floor, her face bruised and swollen, clearly unconscious.

With a look of disgust, Adrian turned his face away. Selene noticed Felicity’s disheveled state—her clothes barely covering her. Selene stooped, grabbed a discarded jacket from the floor, and gently draped it over Felicity.

A rough, ragged breathing sounded from a shadowy corner.

“Oh my God!” someone behind Selene gasped.

The small crowd of wealthy socialites who’d followed her watched as Harrison slumped against the wall, his hands still bound tightly behind his back. His shirt was half-open, several buttons torn off, red scratch marks streaked across his chest. Damp hair clung to his forehead, and his breath came in shallow, panicked bursts. His eyes, wide with terror, darted around the room.

Suddenly, he lifted his head and stared at Selene in the dark. Any thought of escape had clearly left him; he knew it was pointless now. Behind Selene, familiar faces peered over her shoulder, equally transfixed by the scene.

When they saw Harrison’s state, shocked exclamations filled the room.
