Chapter 440 Run As Far As You Can
“Manuel, you’ve gone too far!” Irene shouted angrily.
Suddenly, a man pushed open the door of the private dining room.
Though Irene didn’t know the man, she took her anger out on him. “Who the *********are you? How dare you barge
in like that?” she snapped.
However, the man didn’t look at Irene. “Mr. Gage,” he said respectfully as he looked at Manuel.
Manuel frowned when he saw the man. Manuel had this man protect Ainsley. And his presence meant that
something had happened to Ainsley.
After the man whispered in Manuel’s ear, Manuel immediately put on a serious face.
“Take me there.”
“Where are you going?” Irene widened her eyes. She didn’t expect that Manuel knew the man and was ready to
leave with him.
Ignoring Irene, Manuel was about to follow the man out of the room.
Irene immediately walked up to stop Manuel. “Manuel! Don’t you want to know why your grandfather would be
in a coma? Don’t you want to know what happened that afternoon?”
“I do, but are you gonna tell me that?” Manuel looked at Irene coldly.
Since Irene walked in, Manuel had been sure that Irene had no intention of telling him the truth.
“Of course, I will. That’s why I’m here.”
However, Manuel didn’t believe her. “All right. Just tell me, right here, right now. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
Irene was in a daze. Then she continued, “I can’t explain it to you in a few words. Manuel, I know we have
nothing to do with each other, but we almost got married. Am I asking too much of you to dine with me as a
friend?”
Manuel sneered, “Looks like you’re not gonna tell me. Fine, I can wait till you’re ready. Now I have something
important to do. I’m leaving.”
After saying this, Manuel immediately left the restaurant.
In a coffee shop.
Ainsley blinked her watery eyes. She felt that her body was on fire. It was like an uncontrollable desire. All
Ainsley could think was to take off all her clothes.
However, Ainsley knew very well that it was Daniel’s scheme.
Ainsley pinched her thigh hard. The pain helped Ainsley regain her senses to some extent. For the last ten
more minutes, Ainsley had been trying to keep herself sane.
Finally, Daniel lost his patience. He came closer to Ainsley and said, “Ms. Easton, look at me. What’s so good. about Manuel? You deserve a better man like me. I can give you anything you want. We’re gonna be a happy couple.”
Daniel sat next to Ainsley. He reached out his hand and stroked Ainsley’s loose hair by the ear. Daniel smiled mischievously, “Just give up. You were roofied. You have no choice but to have ********with somebody. You can
still control yourself, but soon, your *********desire will get the best of you. It’s only a matter of time before you
throw yourself at me.”
Daniel deliberately whispered in Ainsley’s ear. Daniel’s warm breath kind of turned Ainsley on.
Ainsley stood up with her pink hands on the table. She shoved Daniel aside. “Go away! Stay away from me!”
Daniel was right. Ainsley was about to lose control of herself.
Because of the roofie, Ainsley was suffering, and she was going to lose her mind.
Ainsley stood with one hand on the wall and fumbled with her phone with another. Her hand shook so badly
that she could hardly press a number on the keypad.

Daniel snatched the phone from Ainsley. He looked at the number on Ainsley’s phone and snorted, “Who do you want to call? Manuel? Do you know what Manuel’s doing right now? He’s having a meal with Irene.”
“What?” Though Ainsley couldn’t think clearly, she could still hear Daniel.
“You don’t believe me? They are at Quelan Restaurant now. Aren’t you curious about what they’re talking
about?” Daniel smiled slyly.
Ainsley wanted to take her phone back, but Daniel held it up high.
“Did you change your mind, Ms. Easton?”
Ainsley pinched her thigh hard again. “Don’t even think about it.
“Give it back to me!”
Daniel pulled a long face. And his eyes glinted with a vicious light. “You asked for it,” Daniel threatened.
Daniel was impatient. He threw Ainsley’s phone away, grabbed Ainsley’s arm, and took Ainsley to the sofa
behind them.
“What are you doing? Let go of me! Daniel!” Ainsley screamed.
“Let go of you? Are you kidding me? Do you know how hard I was to get hold of the roofie and get you here?”
Daniel threw Ainsley on the sofa. “Stop struggling. I can give you whatever Manuel can give you. It doesn’t have to be Manuel. What’s more, you know Irene’s crazy about Manuel, don’t you? Irene won’t stop until she
gets Manuel.”
Ainsley stopped struggling for a few seconds. The next moment, Ainsley pushed Daniel away.
“**********up. Enough of this nonsense. If I didn’t choose Manuel, why would I choose you?” Ainsley said,
frowning.
