Bethany asked, âWhat way?!â
Rosalind looked around to make sure there was no one and no cameras before she took out two vials
of transparent liquid that Shannon had prepared for her from her handbag.
âWhat is this?â Bethany looked confused.
âItâs an aphrodisiac that makes men lose control of themselves after drinking it. Itâs most suitable for a
whore like Anna who likes to seduce men.â Rosalindâs eyes flickered with evil excitement.
âWhat?!â
Bethany gasped loudly, but Rosalind stopped her. âShh! Keep your voice down!â
âYou⦠You want to drug Anna? At Grandpaâs birthday banquet?!â
Rosalind leaned next to Bethanyâs ear and said with a sinister smile, âImagine how thrilling it would be if
the guests were to find out that Anna and Mr. Thompson had sex here tonight during the party. When
the time comes, her carefully crafted image will completely collapse. Justin and Grandpa will hate her
for embarrassing them. The Thompson family will also dislike her for being improper. Donât you hate
how close she is to Mr. Hoffman? If Mr. Hoffman saw Anna and Asher hooking up, do you think he
would still want a slut like her?â Bethanyâs mouth gaped open, and she could not make a sound.
She hated Anna and had always bullied her openly. She had never used such a dirty trick. âIf weâre
discovered, itâll be over!â
âThere are so many people here, so we wonât be discovered. Even if they suspected us, they have no
evidence to say it was us. If youâre afraid, send someone else to put it in Asherâs cup. Iâll get Anna. If
the two of us work together, itâll go smoothly.â
Rosalind said coldly, âYou saw what happened today. Mr. Hoffman only has eyes for Anna and doesnât
care about you.â
Bethany felt her heart ache and a huge sense of shame.
âIf
you donât get rid of Anna, the obstacle, you will never end up with Mr. Hoffman. Sitting and waiting will
only make you the laughingstock in the end. Think about it, Bethany!â
Rosalind was a quick learner. She was even quoting Shannon to brainwash Bethany.
Bethany nodded bitterly.
The guests remained silent during the dreamy performance of âO mio babbino caroâ.
Ryan looked at the beauty on the stage in a daze. He felt like he had lost his soul. His gaze was
intensely adoring.
Justin stared at Annaâs familiar face for a moment, feeling estranged from her. The tea he drank felt like
a strong liquor that irritated his throat.
âWhat a heartfelt and emotional plea.â Asher looked at his gorgeous sister on the stage and could not
help but sigh.
Justinâs heart rippled when he heard this.
At this moment, there was a commotion coming from the audience.
Bella raised her eyes, puzzled.
Suddenly, she felt like she had been shot in the chest. Her body shook in fright.
She saw Wyatt, accompanied by his bodyguards and secretary, walking confidently through the crowd
toward the main table. He looked so handsome and majestic.
âIs that Wyatt Thompson, Chairman of KS Group?!â
âIs Chairman Thompson here to attend Old Master Nigelâs birthday party?! OMG! Iâve lived too long to
see everything!â
âDoes this mean that the century-old grudge between the Thompson family and the Salvador family
has been resolved? This news will definitely make the front page headlines!â
Everyone whispered in shock.
Bellaâs voice shook uncontrollably, and her heart thumped against her rib cage.
Why was Wyatt here?
How was it possible for Wyatt to come over and celebrate Nigelâs birthday?! Who invited this deity to
the party?!
