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-
Hayden felt extremely bitter. He did not want to get involved with Sonnet again, but it seemed like he was attracting what he feared. “Son…Sonnet?” He stuttered under the pressure of Maxwell’s icy gaze. “Mr. Gunn, there’s something I need to tell you. Shall we meet tonight?” There was a sense of urgency in Sonnet’s voice. Hayden glanced at Maxwell, whose expression had darkened completely. He immediately came up with an excuse to reject her. “Oh, I don’t think I can make it tonight. I need to attend an important online conference.” “What about tomorrow night? Afternoon works as well,” Sonnet said insistently. “I’m not free tomorrow either. I’m going out on a business trip. I’m traveling overseas,” Hayden said. Sonnet fell silent. Hayden did not dare to look at Maxwell. He lowered his eyes and said, “Sonnet, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. There’s something important that I need to take care of right now!” ”“Alright.” Hayden i
Sonnet immediately ran over and blocked Hayden’s car. The car stopped, but no one got off the car. Sonnet walked over. She bent down and knocked on the car window several times. The window by the driver’s seat rolled down to reveal Hayden’s chauffeur. Sonnet looked inside the car. The car was empty except for the chauffeur. “Where’s Mr. Gunn?” She asked in surprise. Just then, a car drove out from the exit of the company and sped off into the distance.Sonnet instantly realized what had happened. She had fallen for Hayden’s trick. Hayden was in the other car that had just left! Sonnet called Hayden as she watched his car speed off into the distance and disappear from her sight. However, nobody picked up her call. She called Hayden several times but no one picked up. It seemed like he had blocked her from calling him. She had no other choice now. She had failed to meet up with him in the afternoon. She could only wait till night now! Since it was still early, Sonnet
Maxwell could not sleep the entire night. He kept recalling the good times that he had with Sonnet in the past.Sonnet was such a kind, determined, opinionated, and beautiful woman! She was the prettiest woman that he had ever seen in the world! They were so happy when they were together. He wished he could also stop going around with a disguise on him. He wanted to live happily with her for the rest of their lives. However, why did she change? Some time ago, Sonnet had told him that she still loved her late husband. Why did she suddenly love Hayden so much to the extent that she could not live without him? How could she fall in love with his best friend? Maxwell felt like his heart was being crushed. It hurt so much that he found it hard to breathe. He tossed and turned around in bed till it was midnight. Half an hour later, Marcus rushed to Maxwell’s apartment unit and brought a box of wine with him. He was shocked the moment he saw Maxwell.Maxwell’s hair looke
“However, that’ll put her in danger!”“I think that you’re being overly cautious. As long as she doesn’t tell anyone about your true identity, she can be in a relationship with you.” Maxwell’s heart wavered. Previously, he was not willing to expose his identity because he did not want the person that had previously tried to scheme against him to find out that he was still alive. If he found out that he was not dead, Sonnet’s safety would be compromised. He did not tell Sonnet that he was still alive because he did not want her to know anything. That way, she would be able to act more naturally. Thus, the people secretly monitoring Sonnet would truly believe that he was dead.So much time had passed. The people secretly monitoring Sonnet should have given up. That meant he could show up in front of Sonnet with his true identity. He would then be able to date her as Johnson Yate. He patted Marcus’s shoulder forcefully. He used so much force that a pained expression flashed acro
