Chapter 65
Zane had never used such lowly methods to hurt others, but the elite circle was complicated. People in it used all sorts of dirty tricks.
His friend, Maddox Queen, was drugged and slept with Layla by mistake. That was why the two had to get married.
Lianne’s circle was much simpler. After work, she spent most of her time at home drawing comics. How could she understand what was happening?
“Drugged? What kind of drugs?”
“Aphrodisiac…” Zane gritted his teeth and said one word. His gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was menacing and frightening.
Anyone who dared to use such low-level tactics against him would have to bear the
consequences.
“A-Aphrodisiac?” Lianne was so frightened by the word that she almost bit her tongue. She could not speak fluently.
Lianne finally understood why her body was reacting so strangely.
Not only was it hot, but she also felt like countless bugs were crawling in her body. It itched so much that she wanted to peel off her skin.
“Mr. Atlas, who drugged us? When did they drug us? Why would they drug me and you?” Many questions popped up in Lianne’s mind, but she had no clue.
“There’s a strange fragrance in the room. Can you smell it?” Zane guessed that the source of the
problem was the strange fragrance.
“I smelled it when I entered the room but thought it was an air freshener…” Before she finished. speaking, Lianne suddenly realized something. “Mr. Atlas, if the incense was placed in the room. first, is it possible that the person who drugged us was not targeting you and me?”
The incense was already in the room, which originally belonged to Lianne and Morgan.
If Morgan and Zane had not switched roles before the game started, Morgan would have been.
here with Lianne.
If Lianne was drugged and slept with Morgan, someone would “unintentionally” barge into the room and spread the news. Thus, ruining her reputation and leaving her no choice but to flee. Rosewood in the most embarrassing way.
Lianne quickly concluded that the mastermind behind this was Suzanne!
Thinking of Suzanne, that terrifying woman, Lianne quickly backed away to distance herself from
Zane. She even looked at him with a bit of fear.
“Are you doubting me?” Her terrified eyes were like a sharp knife that pierced Zane’s heart. His voice suddenly became a little colder. “I can have any woman I want. Why would I use this kind of underhanded tactic against you?”
“I’m not suspicious of you. I’m just suspicious of your mother…” Lianne explained. “Mr. Atlas, I suspect she’s after me, and Morgan is just a random guy she picked. No one expected you’d switch roles with him before the game started”
“It’s not random!” Zane also knew his mother. If this was planned by Suzanne, it would not be a random selection.
Ten people -five men and five women- played this murder mystery game.
Charlie was the current head of the Graham family. The Graham and Irwin family had always been close, so Suzanne would not scheme against Charlie.
The other two were too timid to touch Zane’s assistant.
Morgan was from the Quay family but not the heir. He had been infamous all these years because everyone thought he was a typical playboy. He was known to be an animal who could only think. with the lower half of his body and would sleep with any woman. That was why Suzanne chose him.
If Morgan had not exchanged roles with Zane and entered this room, then at this moment…
Zane did not dare to think about it any further. If he continued to think about it, he would never let Morgan go, even if Morgan was innocent.
