Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 259

After Jose muttered those things under his breath, he left the room.

Autumn was still hiding in the wardrobe, not daring to make a sound or come back out.

While that was happening, Marilyn was still leading Harold around the ballroom, chatting and collecting business cards.

Neither knew that people had sneaked into their rooms to set up traps for them.

Outside Grandeur Hotel, Lacie Jilsen, the celebrity, was resentfully staring at Marilyn's room.

Right then, one of the hotel staff exited the building and entered Lacie's car.

“Kornel, how did things go?” Lacie asked the other person.

As it turned out, the one dressed like the hotel staff was Kornel Mayfair, Lacie's feminine manager.

“Are you doubting my capability? I released the odorless and colorless gas into the vents. No one is going to notice anything unless they use a machine to test the air,” Kornel gleefully replied.

“Is the reporter you approached someone reliable?” Lacie worriedly asked.

“You should be even more at ease about that. The reporter is someone Jose is courting at the moment. Furthermore, she just graduated. A girl like her wants nothing more than to prove herself.”

The two of them were looking forward to seeing the people find out about Marilyn's scandal.

Soon, it was eight, which was also time for the performances at the party.

As a celebrity, Marilyn was bound to sing on stage.

Moreover, there were a few award-giving sessions afterward as well.

While Marilyn was performing on stage, Harold drank alone in the corner.

Just as Marilyn's performance was about to end, a server came to Harold.

“Sir, Ms. Schmidt told me to convey a message to you: If you're not enjoying yourself here, you can head back to the room to rest first. She has also asked you to help her fill up her tub with hot water,” the server informed.

Harold did not dwell much on that. He nodded, finished his wine, and stood up to return to his room.

Per Marilyn's request, after Harold returned to his room, he went into Marilyn's room to fill up a tub of hot water for her.

Right as he was testing the temperature of the water, he sensed something amiss.

His body had begun to heat up after he tested the water temperature.

Initially, he thought it was because he had drunk too fast earlier, which made his body feel hotter than usual.

However, he soon felt stranger and stranger, and he realized he must have been poisoned by some kind of drug that worked itself into his bloodstream via skin contact.

Instantly, Harold exited the bathroom and returned to his room. Then, he sat cross-legged on his bed, planning to force the poison out of his bloodstream with some techniques.

Preoccupied with that, he never noticed Autumn, who was hidden in his room's wardrobe.

Autumn, who had been waiting in the wardrobe for almost an hour, had been starting to feel impatient a moment ago. Just as she was about to leave, she noticed a man entering the room.

She was flabbergasted when she saw the man's face—it was Harold.

Why is he here? Could it be Harold being in a relationship with Marilyn is the breaking news that person said?

At that thought, Autumn inhaled sharply again. In fact, she nearly shrieked.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hand in time.

If her guess was correct, then it was indeed breaking news to find out that Marilyn Schmidt was sleeping with a married man.
