Chapter 197 Timely Appearance
Xander was the first to react. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned and headed
downstairs.
Grace was sitting at a table and scrolling through her phone. Just then, a waiter approached her with a tray.
“Miss, this is a complimentary drink from our bar tonight. Would you like to try it?”
Without waiting for Grace to refuse, the waiter placed the drink in front of her.
Grace picked up the glass, but before she could take a sip, Xander’s voice interrupted her. ” Gracie!”
His steps were noticeably hurried. With just a few steps, he reached Grace and swiftly took the glass from her hand.
Puzzled, Grace looked at him, and their eyes locked.
Xander reached out and pulled her close. They seemed quite intimate to onlookers. In truth, he was using this as an opportunity to whisper in her ear, “The drink is spiked.”
Grace immediately knew what she should do.
“Where have you been, Xan? Why did you come so late?”
Xander affectionately smiled. “I’ve been here for a while. This bar is owned by a junior from my university days. Do you want to go say hello?”
Grace agreed with a smile. With the questionable drink in her hand, she followed Xander to
leave the bar area.
In a private room on the second floor, the waiter who had served Grace was now on his knees, pleading. “Mr. Martin, I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me.‘
Evan’s expression had turned extremely grim.
Someone had dared to tamper with drinks in his bar! It was as if they were asking for trouble.
“Who’s behind this, and how much were you paid?” he asked intimidatingly.
The waiter didn’t hold back any information and promptly took the cash out of his pocket. ” This is all the money that woman paid me. She told me to find a gigolo and then take the lady to Room 888 in the adjacent hotel after she drank the spiked beverage.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Martin. I won’t ever do it again. Please spare me. I was blinded for a moment. I swear, I won’t do it again.”
Grace walked in just then. She had already heard everything when she was at the door. With just one glance at the screen, she recognized Wendy.
