Chapter 741 Passed Out
Pietro returned his focus to Donald and said in disdain, “I'm trying to find out if there are any staff around. If you pass out, they won't be able to save you in time if they're not anywhere nearby.”
“Oh, you don't need to worry about me. You should be worried about yourself instead.” Donald picked up his drink and took a sip of it. “Well, it's almost time for it to start taking effect anyway.”
“What?”
Pietro froze when he heard Donald's abrupt words.
“I'm talking about the drug. Didn't you spike the drink?”
Immediately, Pietro's eyes widened. He knows I spiked the drink!
Right as Pietro stood up, the world spun around him.
Instinctively, Pietro glanced at the bottle beside him.
It was then he realized the bottle had a marking he made earlier.
When did he swap the bottles? I clearly remembered seeing Jennifer drinking from the marked bottle!
As if reading Pietro's mind, Donald clicked his tongue and said, “Not even gangsters use this lowly trick of yours in nightclubs anymore. If you insist on marking the drink again next time, remember not to use your fingernails to mark it. It's too easy to copy.”
It was then Pietro finally realized what was going on.
As it turned out, when Donald said he wanted a sugarless drink, he had taken the opportunity to make the same mark on another bottle.
He then picked an unspiked drink and marked it before passing it to Jennifer.
As Pietro's focus had been completely on Jennifer back then, he did not suspect anything after seeing the mark on Jennifer's bottle. Never once did he think that the bottle he had was the spiked drink.
That was how he had fallen for Donald's trick.
“You f*cking set me up...”
As soon as he realized it, Pietro raised his fist and swung it at Donald.
Alas, the combination of the medicinal hot spring and the drug made him fall backward before his fist could even reach Donald.
“Pietro, what's wrong?” Minnie cried out when she saw Pietro faint. She hastily leaped into the water to pull Pietro out of the pool.
Diego, as well as two of his subordinates who were disguised as medical staff, were taken aback by the unexpected scene.
What in the world is Pietro doing? Why is he the one fainting instead of Jennifer?
“Boss, what do we do now?” Owen Cavendish, his subordinate, asked.
Diego smacked the back of Owen's head and huffed, “What can we possibly do? Obviously, we've got to rush over to save him!”
Owen and Diego's other subordinate quickly picked up the stretcher and dashed over to carry Pietro onto it.
Everything happened in less than a minute.
Minnie asked nervously, “Is my boyfriend going to be okay? Where are you taking him to?”
Diego walked out of the woods and promptly reassured her, “Don't worry. We have a doctor for treating emergencies like this. Your boyfriend will be fine.”
“No! I have to check on him!”
Diego did not stop Minnie from tagging along.
After all, their target was Jennifer. Minnie would be an extra obstacle in their plan if she were to stay in the area.
Donald walked out of the hot spring pool with a towel around him. When Jennifer saw him, she hurried over and asked in concern, “Darling, are you okay? I told you guys not to stay in the pool for too long. Look, he passed out!”
