She propped her face with one hand, her fingernails gently tracing over the back of Joe's hand, her eyes revealing a hint of seduction. "There are some secrets of the Faulkner Family that I cannot mention here. Shall we go upstairs for a more detailed discussion?"
Joe nodded slightly, and the two of them walked out of the banquet hall, one in front of the other.
Inside the elevator, Sandra's vision gradually became blurred. She felt drowsy and flushed, her voice turning sweet and sticky.
Yes, everything tonight was well within Sandra's plan.
She had bribed a waiter in advance, faking a sealed bottle of red wine. In reality, she had laced the wine with a large amount of illicit drugs that would cloud the mind and obliterate reason.
To make Joe believe the wine was safe, she had even drunk an entire glass of it herself without hesitation.
Sandra looked at Joe with a hazy smile. This man would finally belong to her.
Her overwhelming desire left her without reason, and she only knew that she was pulled into a room where they became entangled in a frenzy...
Outside the room, Joe listened to the unbearable sounds emanating from within. He spoke to his bodyguards in a stern tone, "Keep an eye on this room. Don't let her leave."
If he hadn't received word that Sandra was planning something, he wouldn't have agreed to come here and waste time.
Back at the villa, as soon as Joe entered, he saw Mrs. River in the kitchen, preparing congee.
Mrs. River greeted him with a gentle smile. "The fever has subsided. Perhaps it was due to excessive exertion. She's been complaining of hunger."
Joe glanced at the bowl of congee on the table and said softly, "I'll take it up."
Mrs. River naturally didn't refuse and placed the congee bowl on a tray.
