Hector laughed. "Feeling weak?"
Yasmin's expression shifted as she said, "Did you drug me?"
It indeed felt like she had been drugged.
"I like it when women are dazed and confused in those moments. It's more fun," Hector said with a twisted smile.
Yasmin's heart tightened.
She tried to run but Hector pulled her into his arms.
Then, he sneered and pulled out his belt.
Yasmin felt disgusted.
She grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over Hector's head.
Then, Hector passed out without even making a sound.
Using the last of her strength, Yasmin called the police.
When the officers arrived, Yasmin weakly huddled in a corner while Hector lay amidst a pool of wine.
He had a big gash on his head that was bleeding profusely.
...
It was 11 pm and Yasmin still hadn't returned home.
Blake was waiting for her in the yard, and his face grew darker and darker as time passed.
Eventually, he gave Yasmin a call, but the call went unanswered.
Blake frowned and called Malcolm. "Malcolm, find out where Yasmin is."
A few minutes later, Malcolm called back and said, "Mr. Ford, Madam is at the police station."
Blake's face turned cold. "What happened?"
As Malcolm drove Blake to the police station, he reported, "Hector Chadwick is now in a coma at the hospital, and his family insists on suing Madam. It's a mess at the police station."
…
She looked over to the entrance and was stunned—it was Blake.
He was dressed in a black suit, and his nearly 6.3 feet stature was overwhelmingly imposing.
How did Blake know she was here?
Yasmin's heart couldn't help but feel stirred.
Meanwhile, the entire room fell silent. Even Adeline was intimidated by Blake's presence.
Beside Blake stood the chief of police, Brooklyn Simmons, who walked in and announced, "Mr. Ford obtained surveillance footage from the hotel. So, the case is solved.
"The drug was prepared by Hector Chadwick. He gave it to a waiter before entering the private room and had asked the waiter to drug her.
"We have both witness and physical evidence."
Suddenly, the case was solved.
Adeline's eyes widened in shock, and she was unable to speak a single word.
