Chapter 355
Riley wanted to retort, but Kayson lost his patience and resorted to violence, grabbing her with a
stretch of his arm. He perched the drink against her mouth and forced it down her throat.
âBlurgh!â Riley was aghast, shoving a finger down her throat in a panic to make herself throw up the
drink
Desmond, who was furious, smashed a bottle and scowled. âF*ck you! How dare you do that right in
front of me? Get him!â
Kayson dropped the courteous act then, sending three bottles flying and crashing against the menâs
heads. With three loud smashes, the three guys passed out on the floor in unison. âYou -You...â Riley
watched the scene in disbelief before her eyes slowly drifted shut and she fainted.
Queenie felt fear creep in. âThere was really something wrong with the drink!â âJust some sleeping
drug,â Kayson replied. Queenie sighed. âThank goodness for you, or I'd be in danger. You knew that
they were dodgy from the start?â
Kayson nodded. âWhile I donât know what your friend was trying to say when she gave you that
look, I can tell that something's wrong even when I'm being dumb.
âThis Desmond Studt's been convicted of murder. He's probably a thug. He's not someone nice
anyway.â
Queenie looked shocked, but not to the point of being terrified after what had happened last night.
Then, the server came with the sweet tea and looked surprised at the state of the room.
Kayson told him, âI'll pay for the damage. Let your boss know.â âAlright,â the server answered in
alarm.
Celeste looked at both of them in shock Queenie met her eyes and hurried over to her.â Celeste,
what happened? Why didnât you tell me that you came back?!â
Celeste teared up and recounted her encounter.
She had planned to come back for good and contact Queenie after she settled down. When her
flight had landed yesterday morning, she had met Riley coincidentally and the latter had looked
pleasantly surprised and asked to buy her a meal.
Celeste had not thought much of it but she had passed out during the meal. By the time she had
woken up, she had been tied up by Desmond. Her parents had been captured by Desmond's men
as well, and she dared not fight back out of fear for their safety.
She had given Queenie that look earlier because she had been scared that the latter would end up
like her.
"How did Riley end up like this?â
Queenie was furious but she asked worriedly right after that, âWhat about you? Are you okay?"
Celeste shook her head. âI'm fine. They didnât dare do anything to me. I overheard them on the
phone when I pretended to be asleep.
âTheir plan was to gift me to some bigshot...â
Queenie was scared for her. âThat's scary!â Celeste nodded and looked at Kayson curiously. She had
thought that Queenie had brought along a foolish coward, but he was actually so brave! Kayson
asked, âSo your parents are still in danger? Are they still captured by their men?â Celeste answered
worriedly, âYes. I managed to escape, but my parents... "Queenie, run. I dare not leave. I'm afraid
that they'll hurt my parents...â she said, fretting. Queenie admonished her. âWhat are you talking
about? There's no way I'd just watch without doing anything now that I know!â
Celesteâs response was wry. âThere's no way. They're backed by some bigshot. It's not someone
regular people like us could handle.â
