The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 480

He had found out. He had actually found out!

With so many people at the year-end gala last night, and Sebastian St. John being the CEO who interacted with countless guests, how did he pinpoint her so quickly?

Perhaps The Lab Report was for a drink or something similar. Yes, she couldn't afford to panic now.

Swallowing the fear rising in her throat, Serena Landon looked up at him. "Sebastian, what is this?"

Sebastian looked at the woman who was desperately feigning calm despite the glaring cracks in her facade. He didn't mince words, instantly shattering her delusions. "This is the proposal you brought me to sign last night. The test results of the residue found on the paper."

He had spent the entire day investigating covertly, replaying every detail of the previous night. He hadn't consumed anything unfamiliar, which meant the tampering had to involve the space he was in or an object he had touched.

Sebastian had no patience for her games. "Who gave you the drug?" he asked, his voice dark.

Unable to even meet his eyes, she kept her head down, shaking it repeatedly. "I don't know. I have no idea what you mean."

Sebastian slowly exhaled a ring of pale smoke, glancing at Franklin Finch. "Educate her on the law."
