âSlowly, the worst side effects would show up,â explained Tristan.
Alyssa came to a realization. Tristanâs explanation matches the accounts of the assistant and the maid.
Tristan continued, âShe deserved it. If you need me to, I can send her to the afterlife with one injection.â
The way he suggested the idea was heartless, as though life and death meant nothing much.
Alyssa was speechless at Tristanâs offer.
He added fearlessly, âShe is the one who abused the drugs in the first place. Besides, she signed an agreement and has to be partly responsible. Look, drug-related deaths are commonplace in our industry.
âWe will just treat it as another medical malpractice case. The worst punishment I would face is to have my license revoked and serve a two-year sentence.â
âThereâs no need to risk your future for a bitch like Sophia Kirkman. That would be a waste,â Alyssa said with a sigh. âTristan, I assure you that I will ensure your safety when you carry out my orders. This incident will not affect your work at all.â
âI donât mind doing anything, Ms. Alyssa, as long as you get your revenge for your family,â Tristan replied, unbothered about his safety. âDonât worry. I have stored the evidence that will ruin her reputation if released.â
âThis is not the time yet,â Alyssa stopped him and inhaled deeply. âEven if I show the evidence now, I donât have the confidence to obliterate her. I want her to lose everything, including Javier Beckettâs support. I want her to be an outcast! Itâs go big or go home for me.â
Jasper was not a lightweight, but for some reason, he felt dizzy after having a few drinks. He struggled to breathe, and his eyelids drooped.
The dance had started. The guests had fun on the dance floor. Nobody noticed the situation that Jasper and Renee were in.
After taking a few gasps, Jasper tugged on his tie knot and swallowed. His cheeks were flushed. Desire coursed through his body, challenging his nerves.
Renee inquired with fake concern, concealing a grin, âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Beckett? Do you feel unwell?â
She knew the drugs had taken effect.
desire in him.
What did he drink? Why was the effect so unbearable?
Or did his tolerance drop after he was disconcerted by Alyssa?
âIâm fine. Leave me alone,â Jasper insisted, showing hostility toward Renee.
âYour face is red! Are you running a fever?â Renee exclaimed.
Then, she boldly pressed her chest against his body and attempted to touch his forehead.
Suddenly, he slapped her hand away, leaving a red mark on her skin. He glowered at her and bellowed, â
Donât touch me. Get lost!â
