Chapter 245 Drugged
Queenie learned that Colton would be in the bar tonight, and she dressed up specifically for a chance encounter with him.
The bar was absolutely perfect for her plan. After all, it would be easier to drug him in such a cluttered environment.
She’d just have to ask him to send her home. With the effect of the drug, her plan would undoubtedly go smoothly.
Queenie couldn’t help but smile when she thought of this.
She then approached Colton gracefully in her high heels and said in a surprised tone, “Colton, it’s really you! I was wondering whether it’s you when I saw you from a distance, which was why I came closer to have a look. Don’t you avoid places like this, though?”
With that, Queenie sat down with them without their invitation.
She then raised her head to look at Richard. With a smile on her face, she nodded to him.
Richard returned a nod too. Then, he turned around and asked Colton, “Are you not introducing us? Who is this lovely lady?”
But Colton maintained his emotionless expression even after seeing Queenie. “She’s Queenie, an employee of the company,” he explained as he sipped his drink.
Queenie’s smile stiffened as she heard Colton introduce herself in this manner, but she said nothing more and simply cast him a tender glance before looking away.
Richard, on the other hand, looked at both of them and knew something was off. Hence, he did not say anything as well.
Colton began to tug on his collar a few minutes later. He had consumed a large amount of alcohol earlier and now felt the need to use the gents. “I’m going to the gents,” he said as he stood up.
And he left right after his words, ignoring Queenie.
Sitting directly across from Richard, Queenie looked at the leftover alcohol in Colton’s cup. It is now or never, she decided.
Hence, with her lips pursed, she tried to start a conversation with Richard to divert his attention. “You’re Colton’s cousin, right?”

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
