"What?"
Jordan observed Emily carefully and realized that her cheeks were flushed and her clothes were messy. She did look rather out of sorts.
"Jordan... I feel terrible..."
Emily held Jordan's hand as she spoke with much effort.
Jordan comforted her, "Emily, don't be afraid. I have the antidote here. You'll be fine after taking the antidote."
Taking out the medicine box his family had given him, Jordan looked for the antidote to the usual street drugs sold on the market.
"Here, swallow it."
Jordan personally fed Emily. She took a sip of soda and swallowed the antidote.
Seeing that Emily's body was flushed and warm, Jordan instructed Salvatore. "Turn the air conditioner in the car to the maximum."
"Yes!"
Salvatore hurriedly adjusted the air conditioning.
At this moment, Dragon said, "Master, I've already arranged for someone to deal with the dead bodies. We shouldn't stay here for long. We must leave the scene as soon as possible."
Jordan nodded. After all, there had been several deaths. Although three of them had committed suicide, Jordan and his men would still be in trouble if they were seen.
Jordan and the rest got into the car. Salvatore drove them away and returned to the Houston central district. All the while Salvatore was constantly observing Emily's condition through the rearview mirror as he drove.
Salvatore asked, "Mr. Jordan, how long will the antidote take to take effect?"
Jordan said, "It usually takes five minutes."
Salvatore said, "It's been six and a half minutes since you gave her the antidote. But judging from Ms. Emily's expression, she still seems to be very uncomfortable."
Jordan looked at Emily. Her condition did not seem to have improved.
"Emily, are you feeling better?"
Emily shook her head honestly. "No... the antidote doesn't seem to have any effect."
"What? How can it be ineffective?!"
The Steeles had given Jordan this antidote. He had tested it before and it should be very effective against the typical street drugs sold on the market.
Why was it ineffective when it came to Emily?
Unless the knock-out drug used on Emily was not an ordinary drug!
Dragon said, "Master, your medicine was specially concocted by the family. It's a level higher than the normal antidotes on the market. It's impossible that it's ineffective. Unless, of course, the drug they used was also very advanced."
"Could it be..."
At that moment, both Dragon and Jordan thought of the
same person.
Jesse!
There were not many people in this world who could possess a drug that even Jordan could not counter.
Jordan did not try to ponder too much about this now. His current top priority was to solve Emily's problem!
Emily was feeling very hot and fidgety. The drug had strong aphrodisiacal effects and now, she was sitting in the back row with Jordan and Dragon.
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Emily suddenly said, "Jordan, did you invite Ji Chang-wook especially for me?"
Jordan nodded. "Yes, I know you like him, so I invited him over to hold a concert just to lure you out. I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened... and now that you're in a bad state, I'm responsible."
Jordan was willing to do a lot of things for Emily. He would even shed blood for her. But how could he, as her brother-in-law, help her in such matters?
