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
The netizen also posted a very blurry wedding photo with their tweet.It was unknown which church or city it was held at, but because of the camera angle, the male party could not be seen. However, one could vaguely tell that the bride in the wedding dress was precisely Ivy Langham.Jenna stared at this tweet for a while, her gaze gradually darkening.Her finger stopped on the screen, and she very quickly saved a screenshot of the tweet. When she scrolled down and later scrolled back up, that tweet was gone.Soon, Aunt Lily was done making lunch.Jenna went to the dining area to eat. When she saw Sam asking a helper to pack a separate portion to take to Kevin’s room, she asked, “What’s up with him?”“He said he isn’t feeling well and wants to eat in his room.”Jenna was speechless.According to Jacob Tennyson, in the three days Jenna was unconscious, she relied on a glucose IV drip. So, at this point, she was starving. Once she took her seat at the dining table, she made a clea
Kevin felt his forehead break out in a sweat and wiped it with his hand as he averted his gaze. “Sorry, Jen. I made you remember something bad.”He knew everything Shawn Sadler had done to force Jenna into divorce and relinquish all her marital assets.“It’s in the past now.” Jenna looked down but very quickly turned her gaze to him once more. “I’m saying all this so that you won’t overthink it. If you insist on leaving, it means you don’t see me as a friend anymore.”Hearing Jenna say that, Kevin broke out into a smile. “How dare I still leave when you’ve already said so?”Jenna smiled when she saw that he had finally let it go.The obstacle between the two seemed to disappear as they looked at each other and smiled.Kevin took a pear from the fruit bowl and began munching on it as he sat on the bed, saying to Jenna, “For the past two days, I’ve been trying to restore the deleted chat logs on Isabella Summers’ phone. Though it seems someone hacked into her phone before this and
Seven thirty o’clock that night, Quinn returned to Sparrow Garden with Sam.The moment he entered the house, he could hear the sounds of bickering. When he looked in the direction of the noise, he noticed Jenna and Kevin huddled on the sofa in the living area playing games.From his viewpoint, he could just see Jenna sitting on the single sofa on the right side, curled up in the chair.Jenna seemed to especially love the color green, as she was once again wearing a light green mesh skirt that covered her snow-white legs today. Her delicate ankles were folded together and seemed as if they would break with just a bend. Her round toes would contract one moment and stretch out the next, exhibiting her restlessness.Looking at her beautiful feet, Quinn’s Adam apple inexplicably bobbed.He handed the jacket in his hand to the helper standing by the side and walked into the living area, sitting down on the sofa opposite Jenna’s.“Jenna, can you change your sitting position?”He rememb
