“Michael?” Tanya walked in and pushed the door open, only to see Michael dripping wet. His shirt clung to the lines on his body. His toned muscles were shown clearly. At that moment, he looked alluring. Although Michael’s consciousness was getting wrecked by the drug, he still held on to a small part of his rationality from splashing himself with cold water, as Xander instructed. When he heard the voice, Michael looked toward the sound. Tanya stood in the doorway, under the light. Although Chiara told her that Michael had already drunk the spiked drink and told her to hurry up, she still panicked. Just in case, she was even wearing a special mask that looked exactly like Ivanka’s face. Even so, she still felt a little guilty. “Iv?” Michael noticed the face. Under the light, the skin was smooth like cream, and she looked beautiful. Michael immediately stood up at the same time as he called out. He was swaying. When he almost fell, Tanya rushed toward him at onc
“Go away!” Michael bellowed. His eyes were bloodshot and icy.The drug was taking effect. His rationality was slipping away.However, on the edge of losing control, Tanya’s actions were like a cold splash of water that shocked him back to reality.Ivanka would never be so forward, nor would she ever engage in such a seductive display.Tanya had never been yelled at like that. At that moment, she had set aside all her pride and dignity. Ignoring how uneasy this would make her feel, she reached out and tore away the last of her clothing.“Michael, it’s me, Ivanka. I’ve thought it through. We can get back together. I realize I still can’t get over you. I love you!“After the divorce, I realized none of those men can compare to you. None of them are as good as you.”Michael’s anger did not deter Tanya. She continued to approach him. Her bare feet padded seductively on the floor with each step.Michael’s vision blurred, but Ivanka’s face remained sharply in focus and more vivid th
The drug coursing through Michael was no ordinary one.It was a powerful, fast-acting substance.Without having intercourse with a woman, the chaotic flow of his energy and blood could overwhelm his body and potentially lead to a fatal outcome.That woman…Michael gripped Ivanka’s shoulder. His other hand was already tugging at her clothes. In his current state, his rationality had vanished!Without hesitation, Ivanka reached into the small pouch she always carried with her and opened it. She took a pill out and fed Michael.Within moments, Michael became a little clear-headed.“Iv?”He had seen two versions of her earlier and knew one was an imposter, so he called her name because he wanted to distinguish the real Ivanka by her voice.“Don’t speak. Save your strength. I’m calling Evan now.” As Ivanka said that, she pulled out her phone with an intensely serious expression.The powerful drug coursing through Michael’s system would be agonizing to counteract with medication al
Ivanka’s expression instantly ran cold.Who would show up in such a barbaric manner at a time like this?“Michael, I’m going to feed you a few more pills to hold off the drug effect. You’re going to feel even worse for a while, but you have to hold on. I’ll go see who’s out there.”As Ivanka spoke, she quickly fed him the pills to help him stay clear-headed.With that, she got up and left the bathroom.Unbeknownst to her, Michael’s gaze, which lingered on her, was filled with a mixture of confusion and something else.Ivanka soon stepped into the main room.She saw Jackie leading a group of men, each one more intimidating than the last.This was especially so for the man standing right in front of Jackie, Bert!She knew Bert had held a grudge against her since the earlier gambling session. He was clearly looking for trouble at this moment. His current expression was anything but friendly.“What do you want?” Ivanka asked coldly.“You’ve got the nerve to ask us that? You and
“Creak.”The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside. Evan walked in.Evan looked anxious. He was followed by three or four men carrying a large bathtub.Seeing Jackie and Bert, Evan immediately understood their intentions, but Jackie and Bert were puzzled by what was happening.“What are you doing?”Bert stepped forward.Ivanka’s lips curled into a sneer.Bert really was a dutiful lapdog for Jackie.“We have something to take care of. Bring me hot water, but don’t worry, we’ll also pay you the venue fee later.”After saying that, Ivanka turned and left.Bert was about to say something more, but Jackie stopped him with a raised hand.Evan gave his men a quick signal.They carried the bathtub into the restroom.“Let’s go. I’ll settle the ten trillion and the venue fee with you,” Evan said coldly. He understood their concern given the large amount of money involved.However, the problem was that when things were taken too far, it easily provoked resentme
“Back to the hotel,” Tanya ordered the chauffeur sharply. Her expression was dark with anger.“What about the man we took out of the casino?” The chauffeur glanced back at Tanya and asked for instructions.Tanya suddenly remembered Blake.Her eyes narrowed dangerously. “Bring him back with us.”Not only did he not help her at the auction, he even had the nerve to take her virginity. She had to make him pay the price!...As Ivanka was preparing the third round of the medicinal bath for Michael, Evan returned.In his hands was the Ganoderma nebula they had bid for ten trillion dollars. At the same time, he brought news for Michael and Ivanka.“Mr. Barkworth, Ms. Lane, Kingzillion Casino would like to thank everyone for their participation and celebrate the success of the auction. They’re hosting a gala three nights from now at 10 p.m. Here’s the invitation.”With that, Evan placed a black, gold-embossed invitation in front of Ivanka and Michael.Ivanka frowned as she looked at
More than anything, she was upset.No matter who she was involved with, he had no right to look at her like that. It was as if he was silently questioning her. “What’s going on between you and that man?”She did not know who the man was.He had not revealed his identity. At that moment, she was too worried about their situation to confront him or ask any questions.“I’m just curious.”The moment the words slipped out, even Michael was surprised. Was he explaining himself?“I’m curious too. Evan, look into it. From the moment Michael and I started gambling, a masked couple was hanging around us. I suspect the man in room 4098 today might be one of them. See if you can find out who they are!”People would not hide their faces without any reason, especially when they suddenly appeared like that.Ivanka did not believe it was all just a coincidence. It had to be premeditated.“Got it, I’ll get on it right away.”Evan nodded.He was also smart enough to know that he should leav
With that in mind, Ivanka reached out and stopped Evan.She pursed her lips and said, “Get a staff uniform. If he refuses to put it on, stay here with him.”She did not want to spend the night in this strange casino!“Alright then.”Although Evan was reluctant, he relented when he saw how insistent she was.Soon enough, he found a staff uniform and handed it to Ivanka. “Ms. Ivanka, please bring it to Mr. Barkworth.”Evan was afraid of him.Ivanka gave him a look of contempt and walked into the washroom with the uniform.By then, the medicine had already cooled down.“I forgot to tell Evan to get you clean clothes. This is all we could find. If you don’t want it, then both of you will have to spend the night here.”Ivanka held out the clothes to Michael, but he did not take them.He frowned. “What about you?”“I’ll return to the hotel.”“I’ll go back with you.”Michael, too, knew that it was getting late.He did not mind inconveniencing Evan, but he could not afford to le
