Chapter 65
Zane had never used such lowly methods to hurt others, but the elite circle was complicated. People in
it used all sorts of dirty tricks.
His friend, Maddox Queen, was drugged and slept with Layla by mistake. That was why the two had to
get married.
Lianne’s circle was much simpler. After work, she spent most of her time at home drawing comics. How
could she understand what was happening?
“Drugged? What kind of drugs?”
“Aphrodisiac…” Zane gritted his teeth and said one word. His gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses
was menacing and frightening.
Anyone who dared to use such low-level tactics against him would have to bear the NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
consequences.
“A-Aphrodisiac?” Lianne was so frightened by the word that she almost bit her tongue. She could not
speak fluently.
Lianne finally understood why her body was reacting so strangely.
Not only was it hot, but she also felt like countless bugs were crawling in her body. It itched so much
that she wanted to peel off her skin.
“Mr. Atlas, who drugged us? When did they drug us? Why would they drug me and you?” Many
questions popped up in Lianne’s mind, but she had no clue.
“There’s a strange fragrance in the room. Can you smell it?” Zane guessed that the source of the
problem was the strange fragrance.
“I smelled it when I entered the room but thought it was an air freshener…” Before she finished.
speaking, Lianne suddenly realized something. “Mr. Atlas, if the incense was placed in the room. first,
is it possible that the person who drugged us was not targeting you and me?”
The incense was already in the room, which originally belonged to Lianne and Morgan.
If Morgan and Zane had not switched roles before the game started, Morgan would have been.
here with Lianne.
If Lianne was drugged and slept with Morgan, someone would “unintentionally” barge into the room and
spread the news. Thus, ruining her reputation and leaving her no choice but to flee. Rosewood in the
most embarrassing way.
Lianne quickly concluded that the mastermind behind this was Suzanne!
Thinking of Suzanne, that terrifying woman, Lianne quickly backed away to distance herself from
Zane. She even looked at him with a bit of fear.
“Are you doubting me?” Her terrified eyes were like a sharp knife that pierced Zane’s heart. His voice
suddenly became a little colder. “I can have any woman I want. Why would I use this kind of
underhanded tactic against you?”
“I’m not suspicious of you. I’m just suspicious of your mother…” Lianne explained. “Mr. Atlas, I suspect
she’s after me, and Morgan is just a random guy she picked. No one expected you’d switch roles with
him before the game started”
“It’s not random!” Zane also knew his mother. If this was planned by Suzanne, it would not be a random
selection.
Ten people -five men and five women- played this murder mystery game.
Charlie was the current head of the Graham family. The Graham and Irwin family had always been
close, so Suzanne would not scheme against Charlie.
The other two were too timid to touch Zane’s assistant.
Morgan was from the Quay family but not the heir. He had been infamous all these years because
everyone thought he was a typical playboy. He was known to be an animal who could only think. with
the lower half of his body and would sleep with any woman. That was why Suzanne chose him.
If Morgan had not exchanged roles with Zane and entered this room, then at this moment…
Zane did not dare to think about it any further. If he continued to think about it, he would never let
Morgan go, even if Morgan was innocent.
A monstrous anger was rampaging in Zane’s chest. However, when he spoke to Lianne, his tone was
soft. “Don’t worry, Lianne. I won’t let you suffer this grievance in vain.”
“Mm…” Lianne wanted to say thank you, but she felt dizzy. The drugs gradually consumed her sanity.
Zane was in a similar situation. Especially when he saw her charming eyes, which were dazzlingly red
and as if filled with blood.
For a moment, Zane just wanted to give in to his desire, but his strong rationality was able to control
the urge and sexual thoughts he could not bear.
When Lianne tugged at her clothes in a daze, Zane rushed over and grabbed her fidgeting hand.”
Lianne, listen to me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was enchanted by Lianne’s soft and smooth skin. He could.
completely wrap his big palm around her wrist and wanted to hold it for a little longer.
Every cell in his body was screaming to touch her.
However, he was a human being, not a beast. He would never take advantage of someone in this
situation, especially if it were Lianne.
Zane let go of Lianne and took two steps back. He reorganized his thoughts. “Lianne, the door is
locked, so we can’t get out for the time being. Hold on for a while longer. We’ll be fine once Dr. Leah
arrives. Just in case something bad happens before Dr. Leah comes, I’ll go to the corner farthest from
you, and we shouldn’t look at each other. Do you understand?”
His voice was very hoarse and deep and powerful as ever, which was particularly reassuring.
Lianne nodded obediently. “Okay…”
He said everything would be fine when Dr Leah arrived, and she believed him
Zane pushed his silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, took his gaze away from Lianne with
difficulty, and returned to the corner on the right to sit down
He turned his back and did not dare to look at Lianne anymore He knew that if he looked at her one
more time, his self control would completely weaken.
Similarly, Lianne turned her back to him. She was also afraid she would not be able to control
herself
Whenever a voice in her head told her that there was an “antidote in the same room, she would
forcefully scratch her arm until it was bleeding.
Lianne used such painful methods to keep herself sane. Before she knew it, her arms were covered
with bloodstains of all sizes.
Lianne did not know how long she could last. She did not even know if she could wait for Dr. Leah.
At the same time, Slater rushed to Suzanne in a panic with a tablet in hand. “Ma’am, something went
wrong.”
“What could make you panic like this?” Suzanne took the tablet. When she saw Zane in the video, she
panicked instantly. “Why is it Zane?”
Slater wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “That Morgan kid is really nosy. He switched roles
with Mr. Atlas…”
“Abort all plans. Let’s go to the airport immediately!” Suzanne dared not delay for another moment and
immediately got up to rush to the airport.
On the way to the airport, Suzanne was still holding the tablet in her hand, watching every move of
the two people in the room.
She knew that her son had good self-control. Any tactics would be useless to him if it were with a
woman he was not interested in.
However, Lianne was impressive. She would rather hurt herself than do anything inappropriate.
What a huge threat!
Suzanne wanted to eliminate this threat, but she knew she must not act so hastily in the future.
