Chapter 37 âSeems like youâre pretty capable, huh?â
Josef wrapped his arms tightly around Eleanorâs waist and planted a hard kiss on her face. âTell me, babe, what do you want as a reward?â
Eleanor, with her hand covering the kissed cheek, calmly said, âI donât want any reward. I just want you to get your men out of my friendâs wedding room.â
âAlright.â
Josef immediately pulled out his phone, made a call, and told his men to leave.
It was only after this that Eleanor let out a sigh of relief. She turned around, picked up the drugged glass of wine, and handed it to Josef.
âMr. Caporal, I brought you this wine. Letâs drink it togetherâ
âDrink?â
Josef frowned slightly, surprised that she would invite him to drink.
Josef, somewhat taken aback, thought Eleanor might have had a change of heart and quickly leaned in to ask, âWhat, youâve finally come around?
Now youâll let me touch you?â
Worried that Josef might get suspicious, Eleanor maintained her previous demeanor, coldly saying, âYou misunderstood. I told you before, I donât want you touching me, thatâs why I offered the business deal in exchange. How could you not keep your word?â
Josef didnât like her response, âThen why are you asking me to drink with you?â
Eleanor frowned, âIâm just inviting you for a drink to show my gratitude, as youâve spared me twice and not only did you not touch me, but you also trust me so much. The least I can do is toast you.â
Being praised by Eleanor like that, Josef felt like his image had become great all at once.
âIf thatâs the case, then Iâll join you for a drink.â
Josef reached out and took the wine glass she offered.
She was probably too nervous and her fingers trembled slightly..
Josef immediately noticed that something was off.
He calmly took the glass but didnât drink it. Instead, he looked at Eleanor.
She put on a good show, but her quickened heartbeat gave her away.
âYou drink first.â
Josef handed the wine glass back to Eleanor.
Upon seeing this, Eleanor quickly realized that Josef probably figured out that something was wrong with the wine, which was why he was letting her drink first.
She quickly steadied her drumming heart, pretending it was no big deal, and took the wine glass before taking. a sip.
After she finished, Eleanor explained, âI couldnât afford expensive wine, so I asked the hotel for a cheap bottle. I know the taste isnât great, but if you donât like it, I can ask the front desk to bring a more expensive bottle.â
With that, Eleanor turned around and walked over to the phone. She picked it up and dialed.
Her move quickly dispelled Josefâs suspicions, and he stopped her before the call went through.
âIâve never tried cheap wine before. Changing it up might be kind of nice.â
Chapter 37 Josef took the wine glass from her hand once more, gently licked the lipstick mark on the brim, and tilted his head back to drink.
He slowly sipped the wine while observing Eleanorâs expression, and seeing that she appeared completely natural with not a trace of panic, he dismissed his doubts.

However, Josef was still very cautious and only took one sip before putting the glass down.
Eleanor didnât expect Josef to be so hard to deal with, making her increasingly anxious.
If he didnât drink the wine with enough sleeping pills in it, she wouldnât be able to take action against him.
Moreover, there was a stranger hiding in the bathroom, and if he found out she killed someone, she might be in trouble too.
At this point, Eleanor was in total chaos and didnât know what to do.
But of course, Josef chose this exact moment not to let her off the hook!
After putting the wine glass down, he grabbed Eleanorâs hand and pulled her onto his lap.
A disgusting pair of hands made their way towards Eleanorâs thighs.
âDidnât you promise not to touch me?â
Eleanor screamed out of fear, but Josef sneered, âHow could I possibly just let go of a woman I like so easily?â
