“I will kill you!” threatened Shane. He wasn’t able to see the woman clearly, but he could still hear her voice.
Hence, he knew where she was and lowered his head to glare at her.
Looking into his emotionless eyes got the woman to tremble instinctively, and her fear revealed itself on her face.
He looks as though he wants to kill me… Is it too late to back out and flee now?
The woman was just about to leave when her cell phone vibrated.
She quickly fished it out and read the text message.
Almost immediately, the woman’s face fell.
In the end, she stomped hard on the ground as though she had decided to go all out. She put a smile back on her face before she claimed, “I will welcome death with open arms if it means I get to spend one night with you, Mr. Shane. Besides, it’s not like you can fight back in your current state. After all, you were given two doses of the drug.”
“Were you the one who spiked my drink?” demanded Shane when he heard about the double dosage, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
A sharp glint flashed across the woman’s eyes before she said, “That’s right, Mr. Shane. I went through so much trouble, so please just do me this favor, okay?”
As she spoke, she dragged Shane toward the lounge.
Shane wanted to push her away, but his energy was completely depleted.
The effect of the drug was slowly getting stronger as well.
If things kept spiraling out of control like that, he would lose consciousness soon.
Thinking about that got the murderous aura emanating from Shane to become even more intense. He bit his tongue to try to wake himself up with the pain.
Unfortunately, the drug was too powerful, and he couldn’t feel the pain from biting his own tongue. There was no way he could regain his footing under those circumstances.
Right then, something happened just before Shane got to threaten the woman again and get her to leave.
Jacqueline’s voice suddenly sounded. “Huh? Shane, what are you doing here? Who is this?”
“I am Mr. Shane’s date,” replied the woman before she rested her head on Shane’s shoulder and smiled tauntingly at Jacqueline.
Jacqueline’s expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. Staring at Shane in disbelief, she questioned, “Shane, you got yourself an escort? How could you do that? Have you considered Ms. Smith’s feelings?”
“It’s not like that. I was drugged,” replied Shane weakly as his heavy eyelids threatened to close.
Only then did Jacqueline realize that something was off about him. She sounded worried when she asked, “Shane, what’s wrong?”
“I was drugged,” said Shane once more.
His voice was even weaker than before.
Jacqueline shifted her gaze to the woman beside Shane and asked, “Are you the one who drugged him?”
“So what if I am?” said the woman as she held her chin up high.
Jacqueline had a grouchy expression as she warned, “That’s f*cking brave of you. I can’t believe you drugged the head of the Thompson family. Do you have a death wish? Let him go right now!”
“And if I don’t?” said the woman as she tightened her grip on Shane’s arm.
Jacqueline grinned menacingly and answered, “Then don’t blame me for what happens next.”
After saying her piece, Jacqueline got her cell phone out and made a call. “Hey, is this the security guard? There’s a…”
“Hey, how could you alert the security guard? Fine, I’ll leave him with you,” said the woman, who started to seem scared. She was quick to push Shane over to Jacqueline before she turned around and left.
Jacqueline scoffed and instructed, “Block every exit to the place. A woman in a yellow dress is trying to flee. Capture her.”
After issuing her orders, Jacqueline put her cell phone away and steadied Shane. She asked, “Shane, are you alright?”
Shane was barely holding on at that moment. With both of his eyes closed, his eyelids fluttered a little as he requested, “Take me to the lounge, then call Silas. Have him get the doctor over.”
“Okay,” replied Jacqueline before she helped him into the lounge.
She placed him on the bed before standing up and wiping away the sweat on her forehead.
After that, she lowered her head and stared menacingly at Shane. It seemed like she had no intention of calling Silas.
Later, she opened her purse and fished a small device out of it. She placed the device on her throat before calling out to the man on the bed. “Shane, Shane?”
