“What’s going on with me?” George held his forehead as his body began to sway.
Stanford seemed to realize something at this moment and he immediately took a close inspection of the teapot on the table, “Didn’t you make this tea yourself?”
“It’s made by mum. Why…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground without warning.
Stanford turned to look at George who was lying unconsciously on the floor and shouted nervously, “George!”
At this moment, George was completely out cold, without any compass on his surroundings.
The first thought that flashed by in Stanford’s mind was to get out of this place as soon as possible. His leg was obstructing that intention, so he hastily took out his phone to call Atwood.
The line continued to stay idle without anyone connecting it, and his body began to show some signs of discomfort too. His line of sight was deteriorating.
He tightened his grip.
With a clanking sound, the door of the room suddenly flung open.
Alyssa stood at the door and stared at his son who was lying on the floor. She didn’t look startled at all as she walked over to help him up with a frown on her face.
“Son, I am doing this for your own good.”
Alyssa knew about George’s temperament, and if he had known what was going to happen, he would have objected against vying for the inheritance right using such means.
She had no choice but to drug him into oblivion for now.
This drug wouldn’t have any side effects too.
At that moment, Stanford’s call finally went through. Atwood’s voice came, “Mr. James…”
Alyssa snapped her head around immediately and before Stanford could say anything, his phone was snatched away by her and the call was ended abruptly.
Stanford felt his consciousness dying, and his gaze went blank. He had completely lost his consciousness.
Alyssa switched off the phone and tossed it into a dustbin. She snorted coldly, “Today, no one can stop me from carrying out my plan.”
She helped his son onto the bed before summoning a woman who was wearing a face mask into the room.
“He can’t be here,” Alyssa said. Atwood knew about this place.
It would spell trouble if he was able to find them here.
“I know another place,” Lindsay said.
The person who Alyssa had called in was none other than Lindsay.
Alyssa had set her sights on taking the family inheritance, so she had tried hard to brainwash Enoch to call Stanford here. However, she was refused every time by Stanford, and she knew that Stanford wouldn’t agree to that any time. Therefore, she had been thinking of ways to let Stanford soften his stance ever since she returned from the hospital.
At that moment, Lindsay approached her.
Lindsay realized that Amanda had left City B when she came back, so it was impossible to get her revenge for now. She couldn’t leave City B, and she couldn’t show herself anywhere in order not to get found out. This was how she ultimately set her sights on Stanford.
She knew very well that she alone was incapable of executing her plans.
