“Ah…Oh, about that…” Sonnet, who had never done anything bad in her life, stuttered when Johnson caught her in the act. Maxwell noticed how anxious she was. He looked into the car and was taken aback when he saw Hayden lying in the backseat. “What happened to Mr. Gunn?” He frowned suspiciously. The moment Sonnet turned around, he noticed how she was dressed today. He felt rather displeased. Sonnet had never dressed up so sexily in front of him before. Why would she dress up like that tonight…Most importantly, she had run into Hayden. Hayden was now lying unconscious in his own car! “Oh, Mr. Gunn is drunk.” Maxwell raised his brow. Hayden had excellent alcohol tolerance. Even Maxwell had never seen him drunk. How could he get drunk tonight?! Hadn’t Hayden called him before getting drunk? Why were both of them together? There were countless questions in his heart. His expression darkened. “Did both of you come here to drink together?” “Yeah,” Sonnet replied
Maxwell started the car and drove out. Sonnet secretly texted Lindy and told her that they would have to cancel tonight’s plans. When she raised her head after texting Lindy, she noticed the car driving in a certain direction.She looked at Maxwell in shock. “Do you know where Mr. Gunn lives?”She did not even know his address. Initially, she planned to fetch him to Lux Club. “Yes, he told me when we had dinner at your place.” Maxwell looked in front. He did not meet her gaze. He had missed out on such details and almost exposed himself once again. He instinctively tried to come up with an excuse at once. Sonnet tilted her head and stared at him suspiciously. They had met each other for the first time that day, and Hayden had told him his address. Why did it sound so fishy? Similarly, Maxwell also felt that his excuse was rather forced. He coughed and explained, “Mr. Gunn probably thought that it’d be more convenient for us if we wanted to work together in the future.
“What are you doing, Johnson Yates?!” Sonnet wiped the corner of her mouth with all her might. She then shouted out at Maxwell. Maxwell was stunned. He finally returned to his senses. His heart filled with regret upon coming to his senses. What did he do? How dare he kiss his wife by force?! He disregarded the fiery pain on his face and apologized to Sonnet at once, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose. I just…I just lost control over myself for a moment…” “Can you do something like that just because you lost control over yourself?!” “No, it’s my fault. I’m sorry…” Maxwell apologized obediently. He had a ferocious expression on his face just now but his rage left in a split second. His tall figure was bent down as he lowered his head and cowered in front of Sonnet. It was as if he were a student caught by his home teacher for doing something bad. Sonnet’s overwhelming rage quelled when she saw Johnson admitting to his mistakes. “Johnson Yates,
Maxwell thought of something. He dialed Marcus’s number at once…Half an hour later, Marcus brought some doctors to Hayden’s apartment. The doctors were holding briefcases. The doctors took a sample of Hayden’s blood and conducted a medical checkup on him.“It looks like he isn’t drunk. He’s likely unconscious due to the effect of drugs,” one of the doctors told Maxwell and Marcus.“He’s unconscious due to the effect of drugs? What kind of drugs?” Maxwell immediately asked. “We speculate that it’s a type of sedative. However, we can only find out after the report for his blood test comes out.” The doctors left with Hayden’s blood sample. Marcus immediately asked Maxwell, “What’s going on?” Maxwell briefly told him about everything that had happened. Marcus sighed and said, “It seems like Hayden already sensed that he had been drugged when he called you over to fetch Sonnet. However, why did he go out drinking with Sonnet…” Maxwell cracked his knuckles and said, “He must
Sonnet did not expect Hayden to keep trying to avoid her. He did not fall for any of her tricks at all. Therefore, she had no choice but to change the plan and drug the glass of wine in advance. She wanted to bring him to the hotel room while he was knocked out. She did not expect the drug to take effect so soon. That was how their plans fell apart. “What a pity! We could’ve succeeded. Now that we’ve failed, Hayden will be even more cautious next time. It’d be difficult to use the same plan on him again!” Lindy said, clicking her tongue.Sonnet remained silent. Hayden was a smart man. He would probably realize what had happened very soon. It would be impossible for them to carry out the same plans in the future. If nothing else worked, she would have no choice but to tell him the truth and ask him to work together with her. She had to try everything for Jaybie’s sake.——When the sun was about to rise, Hayden turned around in bed. He placed his arm and leg on Maxwell’s torso.
If Maxwell had already found out about Sonnet expressing her feelings to Hayden, so should he beat Sonnet up instead? Why did Maxwell get beaten up instead? “I asked you a question. Can you just answer my question? Why are you being so talkative?!” Marcus chastised. Hayden kept causing more trouble for himself. He could not bear it anymore. “Oh, I ran into Sonnet, by coincidence, in the bar last night. I wanted to fetch her home but felt dizzy after drinking a glass of wine. That’s why I called Maxwell. I planned to leave myself, but I passed out before I could,” Hayden replied.“Did Sonnet give you the glass of wine?” Maxwell asked.Hayden waved his hands and said, “Yes, but she just treated me to a glass of wine as a friend. We planned to go home after drinking. We didn’t even get to talk much.” If he intended to survive, it would be best for him to minimize his interactions with his wife. They had already had a drink together. He could not talk to her! Hayden looked at
No one dared delay when it came to Hayden’s orders. Hayden’s friend delivered what Hayden wanted in less than two hours. Wyatt, the leader of the company’s security department, reported, “Mr. Gunn, I checked the surveillance camera recordings from yesterday, the day after, and two days before. A woman has been snooping around and looking around outside in the evening. She drove out and followed your car after you left the company.” “Alright, send the video to me!” Not long after, Wyatt sent Hayden the video. Hayden clicked the video. He frowned at once. The woman that had been snooping around the company and following his car was Lindy! She waited furtively outside the company for three consecutive days. She then started her car and secretly followed his car once he drove out! If Lindy was the one who had been following him around, his meeting with Sonnet in the bar yesterday night might not be a coincidence after all! Had Sonnet intentionally tried to meet him in th
After pondering upon it for a while, Hayden called Marcus and said, “The doctors took a sample of my blood, right? Has the test report been released?” “I was just about to call you! The test report just got released. We found components of sedative drugs in your blood.” Hayden furrowed his brow even tighter. That could not be right! If Sonnet wanted to drug him so she could sleep with him, she should have spiked his drink with some excitatory drug. Why did she use a sedative on him? He would pass out like a log after being drugged. How could he sleep with her? He could not understand Sonnet’s actions. On the way to work, he made sure of one thing. No matter what her reason was, he could not let Sonnet get what she wanted. He would not give her a sliver of hope at all! Otherwise, Maxwell would skin him alive! Even if Sonnet was the one who had schemed against him, Maxwell would blame everything on him in his rage. If that happened, he would be utterly done for! Mid-
