Chapter 126 Choose One
Orlando seemed to be very tired last night and fell into a deep sleep.
Viola stared at him for a while.
She saw that there were faint slap marks on Orlando‘s left cheek, which were slightly swollen and the blood at the corner of his mouth was not wiped. He looked miserable, not much better than her.
Although Viola had used up all her strength last night and could not remember what had happened after that. According to the look of it, Orlando should not have done anything to her.
Viola pursed her lips and suddenly tasted a sweet taste. Is it the taste of glucose?
It was he who drugged my coffee. Why does he pretend to be a good man now?
How hilarious!
The coldness in Viola‘s eyes was piercing.
A self–directed play? Wait and see!
Viola got out of the bathtub and tiptoed out of the bathroom. She didn‘t wake Orlando up.
Orlando was awakened by the sharp pain in his back
The way he leaned against the bathtub almost dislocated his arm.
Last night, he was busy helping Viola cool down and forgot to apply medicine to himself. Moreover, he accidentally bumped into a sharp corner of the bed and his back might be more swollen.
Orlando sighed and sat up, only to find that the woman in the bathtub was gone!
When did she wake up?
Orlando didn‘t know at all. It seemed that the special drug 023 had indeed reduced his sensitivity.
Orlando stood up and walked to the wash basin. After cleaning up the blood in the corner of his mouth in front of the mirror, he went downstairs to look for Viola.
The atmosphere in the living room was very depressing.
Viola crossed her hands over her chest and sat on the sofa with a cold face.
The four bodyguards, Jimmy, Toby, Vincent, and Shane, were standing behind the sofa, looking as gloomy as some ghosts.
As soon as Orlando went downstairs, he saw such a scene, and he knew that what should come would always come.
Orlando walked over with heavy steps and stood opposite Viola across the coffee table.
Viola raised her head and looked at him coldly, without saying anything,
Behind Viola, Vincent pointed at the two bags of coffee sugar on the table and said, “Mr. Caffrey, last night, Ms. Zumthor asked you to make coffee. You made coffee, but there was something dirty in it. Isn‘t it too much! We found another bag of coffee sugar containing an overpowering drug in your room. How do you explain it?”
Orlando fixed his eyes on Viola and explained, “it’s true that I put the coffee sugar bag on the coffee tray and brought it to you. I can‘t deny it, but I didn‘t know there was an overpowering drug,”
viola smiled sarcastically.
What‘s the point of these simple words?
Orlando knew in his heart that Viola wouldn‘t believe it at all, but he still wanted to try again. “Last night, I said that I
wouldn‘t lie to you anymore. I‘m a man of my word. Can you trust me this time?”
Viola chuckled.
“When Anaya drugged you, you came to my room late at night. On the second day, you suspected it was me. Did you give me a chance to explain? if I hadn‘t shown you the evidence, would you believe me?”
Orlando knew that this would always come up sooner or later.
Orlando pressed his lips tightly and was speechless.
Viola continued, “Last night, you promised that you wouldn‘t lie to me anymore, BUT you turned around and drugged me. You made the coffee, and you were the first one to rush in after I took it. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?
“In fact, if the one–year agreement is too hard for you, I can give you a chance to compete fairly, so that you may be able to take the Caffrey Group and the old house back from me.”
Viola paused and her expression suddenly became cold and harsh. “But you prefer to use such dirty tricks. Then I‘m sorry. I hate deception the most!”
Orlando had guessed that. With a bitter smile, he asked, “What do you want to do?”
“It‘s very simple.”
Viola smiled and raised her hand. Vincent immediately brought a cup of warm water from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table.
Viola said, “I know that the drug was given to you by Whitney when you went to the old house. Now there are only two bags of coffee sugar on the table that were found in your room. According to the test, one is with drugs, and the other is only sugar. Choose one so that I can know who did this.”
