Marcella shook her head. "It's not likely. Last time, Colin told you that he was with Aaron and Sophia when the other incident happened, and promised it had nothing to do with the Lo siblings. I don't think she has the nerve to do it again. Perhaps Sophia has known that Colin is backing Dorothy up. She wouldn't dare target Dorothy anymore."
Gregary frowned. He'd have to wait until tomorrow to ask his daughter.
Gregary was also concerned about something. "Why did Sophia disappear in the end?"
"Oh, I asked June about that. Apparently, Sophia had to leave early to handle something." Marcella said. "Colin and Dorothy had been in the room for a long time by the time Sophia left." Since Sophia had left, Marcella didn't think she would be with Colin. He was still with Dorothy in the room.
As long as Colin and Dorothy spent the night together, Marcella didn't care where Sophia went to.
Gregary couldn't help but feel that there was still something wrong. "Are you sure that Colin and Dorothy were the ones in that room?"
"Of course! I personally saw Colin take Dorothy into the room where I burned the incense. The potency of the drugs in that room would've affect Colin so quickly that he wouldn't be able to leave." Marcella was quite sure of herself.
She had explained to the guests that the reason behind Dorothy's strange behavior was because she was playing a game with her fiancé.
As long as Colin had sex with Dorothy, her daughter would definitely be Colin's wofe. The title 'Mrs. Li' would belong to no one but her.
"Treat June better from now on. Jacob's company has been flourishing recently. Although we'll get Colin's support, it would be better if we have Jacob on our side." Said Gregary. But he didn't tell Marcella that his company had been in debt for a few months.
The only idea he could come up with was to get more business partners to help him.
Marcella looked down at the Ji Group. She was only counting on Colin to achieve her dreams. "We already have Dorothy. Patrick isn't our biological son. Why should we treat his wife well?"
She didn't think it was necessary to please an adopted son's wife. When she didn't have Colin, she had to please June because of Jacob Ji.
But now, Colin was her son-in-law. In addition to the SL Group, Colin was also a member of a prestigious family. More importantly, Colin got along well with both the mafia and the government. Marcella found it more worthwhile to please Colin.
If Dorothy gave birth to a boy, they would let their grandson displace the bastard Ambrose. Then their grandson would inherit Colin's wealth.
Marcella got excited at the thought. Little did she know that her pride and greed would lead to her ruin.
......
It was a crazy night in both the Redbud Mansion and Patrick's villa.
When Sophia woke up the next morning, Colin had gotten up and was washing his face in the bathroom.
Every inch of her body was extremely sore. Sophia sat up slowly in frustration. Why did she bear the burden that Dorothy was supposed to suffer? How was Colin also affected by the aphrodisiac?
Which part of her plan went wrong?
Sophia squinted weakly at Colin as he went out of the bathroom.
Colin looked refreshed. He bent forward and kissed her lips. "Good morning, honey!" he said.
Sophia was stunned. She had to admit that his voice was so damn nice!
She said weakly, "What happened to you last night?" By the time Colin finally took her away from the bathroom, it was already daylight.
"I got trapped by the Lien family." Colin said. He had called Wade to come over and take a blood sample. Wade would have Colin's blood tested in the hospital.
"Really?" Sophia asked doubtfully. "Are you sure you didn't kiss Dorothy?" Sophia was jealous.
There was a smile in Colin's eyes. "I'm definitely sure. Dorothy was lying on the floor the entire time."
Sophia bit her lip and cautiously confessed, "You've misunderstood. I gave Dorothy an aphrodisiac lipstick. If you didn't kiss her, then you must've smelled her lipstick. It must be why you and Dorothy were affected by the aphrodisiac together."
Sophia didn't think that the Dorothy and her family were behind this. Or was it a coincidence?
When she gave Dorothy the aphrodisiac lipstick, did Dorothy's family also drug Colin?
Sophia didn't think that such a coincidence was possible.
But Colin already knew. Why would Sophia apologize to Dorothy and please her at the party last night? Sophia's goal was to let Dorothy make a fool of herself in public.
