Chapter 229
When cold wine flowed down Adina‘s throat, she finally felt better.
Duke also coincidentally returned following his conversation on the phone, so Adina started to operate the simulation system. “After the sports car is installed with this smart system, it will reach the realm of human vehicle unity. Before the driver reacts to road conditions, the system will intelligently switch driving modes… Cough!”.
Adina‘s throat felt a little hoarse, so she took another sip of the wine. She spoke for a while before her body was suddenly filled with abnormal heat. Was the room too hot? But she only had a dress on, so she should not be feeling that hot. “Ms. Daugherty, why do you seem unwell?” Trent blinked. “Should we just end here for today?” Adina could feel her forehead becoming beaded with sweat. She pursed her lips and said, “I have to visit the restroom first. Please give me a few minutes.” She got up and left the private room. As soon as she stepped out, there was a huge wave, so the cruise lurched a bit. Adina could not stand firmly; and she nearly fell down. She supported herself on the railing and rested for a while before she quickly walked into the restroom. She turned on the tap and patted her neck with some cold water. Only then did she feel a little sober. Just as she turned around and was about to go back to the private room, she felt some heat in her body.
It was an extremely familiar sensation! Five years ago, at her ́18th birthday party, her stepmother had handed her a glass of wine. After she drank it, the same kind of heat filled her body like waves. Had she been drugged again? She had only drunk a glass of wine the entire time she was on the cruise. Was it the wine that Trent had handed to her?
Had Trent drugged her? Adina‘s flushed face showed a terrifying coldness. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. She slowly room in her high heels.
