However, it was hard to get away even if she knew something was wrong. The politician kept trying to prolong the conversation, and other guests joined. Even Selena came to stall as well. By the time she noticed it, she no longer had the strength to get away. "Layla, why are you so weak with alcohol? Let me help you back to your room." Selena took Flora's arm and tried to drag her away. Flora had already discovered Selena's true personality and couldn't trust her. She waved her hands. "It's okay. I can leave on my own."She stumbled away, but Selena couldn't possibly let her leave. Flora was practically dragged into the politician's room and delivered to his bed.She knew she was no match for these people and Selena's plan for her. She was devastated, and when Selena reached a business deal with the politician outside, Flora was livid. She had been right. All the concern that Selena showed her was fake, and her target had always been the Lovers' Poison. More precisely,
Flora first pretended to be unconscious. After the politician entered, she deliberately resisted, not allowing him to easily remove her clothes to stall. She exerted all her efforts to wait for Victor to come and rescue her. At the same time, she hoped that the effects of the drug on her would be suppressed.Little did she know that Selena came out of the room and ran into Victor, who had hurriedly arrived. "Victor? Why are you here?" Selena widened her eyes in shock, wondering if Flora had called him here. Victor had already caught on to the possibility that Selena might be involved in this because Flora told him not to reveal his intentions to Selena no matter what happened. He suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Why are you here?""Oh, I-I came with Owen and Layla. By the way, Victor, have you seen Owen and Layla?" Selena looked puzzled. "It's strange. I just escorted a friend who drank too much to the room, and when I turned around, they were gone."Selena murmured to her
"So, because of this incident, you became utterly disappointed with Mr. Victor and Jorn City, therefore choosing to leave?" Faye's voice was devoid of any emotions.Flora was still immersed in past grief and stared blankly at Faye, unsure of what to say.Her daughter was indeed different from her past self. Faye was smart and clever, unlike Flora when she was younger, who looked smart but lacked experience. She had been so naïve that she was tricked into doing someone's bidding for them. Thinking back to those years, Flora still found it difficult to let go. Faye's voice successfully brought her back to reality, and she nodded. "That was just the tipping point."What truly led Flora to leave was Victor and Diana. After the incident, Flora was disoriented. She thought everything could still be salvaged, only to realize it was already too late.Ever since she successfully developed the first Lovers' Poison pill, Selena and the people behind her had begun their meticulous plan
Exiting Flora's room, Faye saw Cedric and Victor, who had been waiting outside. They both had stern looks on their faces, and Victor looked like he had been crying. Faye guessed that they heard the conversation and tapped Victor on the shoulder. She sighed. "Mr. Victor, I don't care what happened in the past between you and my mother, but I'm sure you know what to do next."Had she not listened to what Flora said, she would never know how much Flora suffered in the past. Though she was fooled because she was too naïve, she was just a young, simple girl. Her brilliance was her sin. "Faye …" Victor ignored her words and grabbed her hand. Faye frowned and instinctively tried to shake him off. However, his strength was overpowering, and she couldn't get away. Her expression darkened, and she glanced at Cedric, hoping he would say something. However, Cedric simply observed them with a stern expression and didn't say a thing. Cedric was supposed to get jealous, yet he didn't
Faye left Flora's room and returned to her own room with Cedric. Worried that Flora's story might affect Faye's mood, Cedric stayed and chatted with her. Only when he was sure that Faye was fine did he go back to work. Faye sat on the balcony of her room and gazed at the beautiful scenery outside. However, her mind was still pondering over her mother's words.Since the events in the past were orchestrated by Selena and her backers, why couldn't Victor and the Reed family completely deal with Selena back then? Who were the people behind Selena? There was also a political figure involved. Since he didn't succeed in defiling Flora that night and ended up beaten by Victor, his deal with Selena would be voided. Therefore, this politician couldn't be the mastermind.Faye felt that this matter was related to the Anderson family. The events over 20 years ago didn't seem to have much to do with Diana. In this story, Diana only played the role of Flora's love rival. However, Faye
In the few days she spent in Jeorgia, Faye had been busy caring for Flora. Flora had gotten much better, while Victor spent most of his time around Flora. When he learnt that Faye was his daughter, he practically doted on her every move. Faye didn't think much of the truth concerning her birth. She had already proven that Victor was her father. On the day that she learned the truth, she took a strand of Victor's hair and had Alice run a paternity test. The results were released earlier today, proving that Victor was her father. She saw that coming and only ran the test to make sure she didn't refer to someone as her father recklessly. Still, she didn't intend to give Victor any special treatment, even if he was her father. She still needed to cure him. "Mr. Victor, you haven't exercised enough today. Stop wandering in the house and get out more."After dinner, Victor fawned over Flora once again. Observing the impatient look on Flora's face, Faye smiled and invit
Watching the eager anticipation in the eyes of the trio, Faye's smile deepened. She tilted her head and said, "If I were to give this money, it would be to the doctor.""To the doctor?" Clark was immediately stunned and exclaimed, "What do you need the doctor for?"Mandy glared at him and smiled. "Since it's for treating your aunt's illness, the money is obviously going to be paid to the doctors. Look, your aunt urgently needs funds for the surgery. Since you have so much money, hurry up and give it to us. We'll go to the hospital to pay for her surgery and subsequent treatment."Eleanor nodded. "That's right. If you have any conscience left, bring the money quickly. Otherwise, it will be your fault if we don't head back in time and your aunt dies."A normal person would probably be infuriated for being accused of such a severe crime. However, Faye simply laughed.She took a card from her pocket and toyed with it in front of them. "There's 300 thousand dollars in this card. I su
Where's the money?" Clark extended his hand at Faye as soon as he came in. Faye stood and stared casually at him, along with Eleanor and Mandy. "What money?" She shrugged.Eleanor immediately shouted in frustration, "Drop the act, Faye. Don't forget that you promised to give 300 thousand dollars to help your aunt.""300 thousand?" Sophia's eyes widened in shock, and she stared at Faye in disbelief. Gloria, too, was shocked. "Mom, what are you talking about?""She was the one who said she will pay!" Eleanor looked smugly at Faye. "Ask her."Faye smiled. "Yes, I promised to pay for Aunt Gloria's medical fee. Be it 300 thousand or 3 million, I will pay."Faye's generosity had shocked everyone in the room. Gloria shook her head. "Nonsense, Faye. Don't do that. The doctors had already said that I'm beyond saving. This is just a waste of money. Don't do it …""That's right." Mandy agreed. Clark raised his chin. "That's right, your aunt is about to die. It's a waste to spend s
