That woman crossed the line, so she’d better be prepared for my vengeance.
Silas had his gaze down when he replied, “The culprit is Ms. Graham.”
“What?” blurted Shane in surprise. He turned to Silas and asked again, “Did you just say that the person who drugged me is Jacqueline Graham?”
“Yes,” answered Silas while nodding.
Shane hesitated before informing, “She is not the culprit. Someone else is. Jacqueline was the one who showed up and chased that woman away. If she hadn’t…”
“That is not what happened at all. Ms. Graham is the actual mastermind behind the incident. That woman is just a scapegoat Ms. Graham hired,” interrupted Silas.
Shane’s pupils constricted, and his expression turned downright murderous when he demanded, “Did you just say scapegoat?”
“Yes,” answered Silas while pouring Shane a glass of water. He then added, “This is what happened. Ms. Graham is the one who planned everything and drugged you. She had that woman pretend to be the culprit and take you to the lounge. After that…”
“Jacqueline showed up and pretended to chase the woman away. Then, she took me to the lounge herself,” said Shane to finish Silas’ sentence.
Silas handed the glass of water to Shane before adding, “That’s right. She did that so that you wouldn’t suspect her of drugging you. You’d even thank her for helping you out. After bringing you to the room, she used a voice-altering device to pretend to be Madam. She wanted to seduce you and trick you into having sex with her.”
After that, Jacqueline would say that she rescued you, but you raped her upon thinking that she was Madam.
You would then be accused of being a rapist and would be asked to marry Jacqueline.
Silas never said those last two sentences, but Shane guessed it himself.
The aura surrounding Shane suddenly turned cold, and his eyes glowed with murderous intent.
“What else?” demanded Shane in an icy tone.
