Shawn closed his eyes after staring at the face he had been staring at for the past twenty years. He unintentionally grabbed Jenna’s chin and caressed her.He said, “Don’t you know how Quinn Forester’s first two wives died?”Jenna slapped Shawn’s hand away fiercely. She tried her best to stick her body against the wall to keep a distance between the two of them. “I don’t care how they died and don’t want to know.”“Shawn, I registered my marriage with Quinn Forester. I’m his wife now.” Jenna looked at him. “How can you even dare touch me?”“His wife?” Shawn sneered as he suppressed the emotions in his heart. “If Quinn really thinks of you as his wife, why didn’t you ask him to take revenge on me and take Seabright back?”Shawn bent even lower, closing the distance between them again. “That’s because you’re not capable of demanding anything from Quinn.”Jenna clenched her teeth. Her heart suddenly sank.She and Quinn seemed to be cooperating. However, in this trade-off, she had n
Shawn wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips and tried to stand up.However, Quinn kicked him so hard that his internal organs were throbbing with pain. Shawn gritted his teeth, and it took him a while to stand.Looking at the woman in Quinn’s arms, Shawn felt a possessive urge, and his eyes darkened.Shawn said slowly, “Mr. Forester, Jenna is just a plaything for you. With a wave of your hand, someone will bring you as many women as you want.“Let’s make a trade-off.” Shawn raised his hand and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. “I only want her.”Quinn showed a look of contempt. “Who the hell are you to think you can make a trade-off with me?”At this moment, Jenna, who was in Quinn’s arms, suddenly twitched and mumbled something indistinctly. She rubbed her head against the man’s suit.Seeing that Jenna was not in the right state, Quinn did not bother talking to Shawn anymore. He picked Jenna up and left the guest room.Shawn’s face darkened. He
Sam immediately brought a medical glove forward and handed it to Jacob. “Put it inside, and I’ll throw it away.”He was terrified that they would all get affected by it if Jacob kept holding on to the thing.“This is just one part of the aphrodisiac. While your mouth will be dry after smelling it for a while, you won’t be as bad as they are,” Jacob said lightly, even lazily throwing the small ball into the glove.Contrastingly, Sam speedily knotted the glove to prevent the smell from leaking out.“I just took Kevin’s blood. There are a few types of special drugs in his system…” Jacob said, already looking some information up on his phone.Following that, Jacob handed the phone to Quinn. “Many years ago, in order to develop their pornography industry, its leaders from Russa specially hired a research laboratory to develop an aphrodisiac. This aphrodisiac can make people lust to death, but a component in the solution is actually a virus that can invade the human brain within a few s
Quinn frowned. “Speak clearly!”“For example, if someone catches a cold, they’ll only get better if they take medicine or sweat it out through exercise,” Jacob explained. “It works the same.”Understanding what he meant, Sam’s gaze changed subtly. “I’m going out to make a call.”“I’ve said it before. The effects of this prohibited aphrodisiac are very potent. The average person wouldn’t be able to withstand it.” Jacob held out a hand to stop Sam from going out. “If I remember correctly, Kevin has never had a girlfriend before and is a…virgin, right?”Sam remained silent.Jacob glanced askance at Sam. “If you rashly call a girl over, are you not afraid he won’t know how to hold back and kill the girl?”Sam stood there, conflicted.He had been the one to take care of Kevin inside the room just now. So, of course, he knew what state Kevin was in—he had practically gone crazy.However, the amount of antidote they had on hand could only save one person…“There’s actually a very str
Without the door in the way, the sound of the woman’s moans coming from the bathroom was even clearer than before.Perhaps because he had also smelled that scent, Quinn felt a little hot and undid the top two buttons of his shirt as he walked toward the bathroom.Jenna had been soaking in the cold water for a while now, but her face was still red.She felt too uncomfortable and was splashing in the water like a fish, every inch of her drenched. There was a red mark around her wrists from the tie.Quinn swept his gaze over the mess that was the bathtub and the woman in it. His steps paused for a moment before stepping into the bathroom and squatting down beside the bathtub.Jenna seemed to sense his presence and began to struggle even harder.As Quinn brushed his thumb against her soft and warm lips, she unconsciously followed her instincts and nuzzled her face into his palm, kissing his fingers reverently.The man stared at her, his gaze deepening.Undeniably, he could have bro
Sam knew what Jacob was like and revealed a helpless expression on his face.Instead of responding to Jacob, he reported the situation to Quinn. “Sir, I’ve already obtained the security camera recording from the 12th-floor hallway and handed it over to the police, but there isn’t enough evidence. Shawn Sadler will probably only be detained for a few days.”“A few days of detainment is enough.”Quinn flicked the ash off his cigarette with an indifferent expression. “When the time comes, spread the information to all the companies with a close working relationship with Seabright.”Sam responded in the affirmative and continued, “I’ve also checked the security cameras in the banquet hall and saw that an employee named Isabella Summers from the translation department pestered the missus a few times. However, the missus didn’t touch the champagne she gave her.”“I instructed someone to look into Isabella Summers’ social media accounts and found that she hired a few men to…”The follow
Her feet bare, Jenna hurriedly ran toward the door.Just as she pulled the door open and was about to rush out, Jacob, who unexpectedly happened to be coming to give her a check-up, walked in. It caused the two to nearly crash into each other.Right before Jenna could crash into him, Jacob grabbed her arm and steadied her. “Hey, hey. You slept for three days but already have the strength to rush outside the moment you wake?”Jenna was in the middle of panicking. However, after recognizing who was standing before her, her tensed nerves relaxed.“Dr. Tennyson, why am I here?”“Don’t you remember?” Jacob brought her back to the room and gestured for her to sit on the sofa as he brought out a needle to take her blood.“Oh, that’s right. That drug invades the nervous system. It makes sense you don’t have a recollection of what happened afterward.”“You got hit by the aphrodisiac too. It’s a banned substance and is very potent. At the time, I could only make one dose of the antidote,
Not long after, Jenna’s expression returned to normal. She picked up the bag on the chair, throwing the pendant in.After gathering everything, she opened the room door and walked out.In the living area of the suite, Sam was discussing work with someone from the secretarial department when he faintly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him and quickly put his phone away.As he turned around to look, Sam saw Jenna coming out from the room and said politely, “Good morning, Ma’am.”Jenna nodded and asked, “Where’s Kevin?”“After being injected with the antidote, he woke up the next day.” Sam paused for a moment, then said helplessly, “But Kevin feels as though he messed up and is too ashamed to see you. He went back the day he woke up.”“This has nothing to do with him.” Jenna said. “I heard from Dr. Tennyson that the drug was prohibited. Anyway, it was the enemy that was too cunning.”“I have to thank Kevin. If it weren’t for his help that night, Isabella Summers’ sch
