Chapter 34
Her heart trembling with nervousness, she wondered why this man had pretended to be James in order
to get close wher
He didn’t dare to show his true face to others, so he turned off all the lights after coming in, wanting to
hide his identity.
She was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do next.
Originally, she had only planned to deal with James, but now there was a stranger, so what should she
do?
Her heart boiling with anxiety, she forced herself to remain calm on the surface, repeatedly.
Whoever entered this room had to find a way to drug him, no exceptions!
Scarlett thought to herself, loosening her clenched fists and pretending nothing had occurred. “Mr.
Forrest,” she said, “if you’re intent on role-playing, don’t switch off the lights. It’s too dark to see
anything”
As she spoke, she felt her way to the table, picked up the empty glass, and poured a small cup of wine
with sleeping palle mate
1.
She picked up the wine glass containing a small portion of wine, walked over to him, and presented it
to him. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Mr. Forrest, why don’t you have a glass of wine to liven things up?”
Scarlett had intended to offer the contract to James upon his arrival, and, upon obtaining it, he would
no doubt be drawn to her.
She advised James to drink first to liven things up, and then, when the medicine had taken effect, she
would kill him with a
short knife.
She would also record a video to demonstrate that James’ crime left her with no other option but to
take his life.
After doing all this, she would post the video on Twitter regularly and then, as for herself, choose to
commit suicide by slitting her wrist.
In this manner. Forrest Group’s personnel would assume that Susan and James had been killed in a
tragic love affair, and would thus not cause her any trouble.
No matter how much she calculated, she never anticipated that the one who arrived was not James.
This caused her plan to fail completely, preventing her from killing the person directly.
If James hadn’t been killed, it wouldn’t have been worth her while to kill an innocent person.
Therefore, she only mixed half of the wine, enough to make people faint for a short time, but not
enough to kill them.
She poured the medicine, then quickly opened a room and sent the address to James.
Otherwise, had James not received her address, he would have certainly dispatched someone to ruin
Susan and Cosmo’s wedding night.
Scarlett thought it through carefully, yet the person still didn’t take her wine; he just stared at her.
He seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and read her thoughts.
Only a pair of eyes could be seen beneath the mask, making it impossible to discern what expression
he had.
She only felt that the aura emanating from his entire body was as powerful as Sebastian’s.
Upon entering, he said nothing, merely lowering his head and gazing at her.
Had it not been for his chest heaving slightly, Scarlett would have believed him to be a walking corpse.
Her heart was pounding like a drum as she saw his particularly scary appearance, but her mind was
racing
As she was pondering how to handle him, he abruptly pinned her against the wall.
“Do you often play roles?”
His voice was so low and hoarse that it seemed as if he was deliberately muffling it, not something a
normal person could produce.
His voice gave no indication of who he was, leaving her to ponder how to remove the mask from his
face.
Scarlett realized he had no intention of continuing to masquerade as James, so she ceased her own
pretense.
She immediately furrowed her brow and demanded icily. “You are not Mr. Forrest Who are you? Why
won’t you reveal your true identity to others?”
The man did not respond to her. Instead, he raised his black-gloved hand and caressed her cheek.
“Answer the first” Scarlett, upon feeling his touch on her face, swiftly reached out to remove the mask
from his
He reacted swiftly, seizing her wrist.
She held the wine in her right hand while her left was clasped in his, and she felt herself become
passive.
The man noticed she was unable to bring herself to discard the wine in her hand, thus inferring that
something was amiss with the wine.
He removed the wine glass from her hand, brought it to his nose, and inhaled its aroma.
Scarlett, so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, found her brain instantly shutting down upon
seeing this.
Holding her breath, she waited for the man’s reaction when he realized something was amiss with the
wine.
He said nothing in the end, simply setting the wine aside.
He took out a white plastic bandage and, grasping her hands, applied it.
Scarlett immediately shrieked in terror. “You scoundrel! What are you planning to do to me?”
She fought with all her might, resisting fiercely, yet the man’s strength was too powerful for her to
budge.
He tightened his grip on her wrist, then used the tie band to bind her hands together.
He yanked off the expensive tie from the top of his shirt and tied it tightly around her eyes.
