The Enchanting Doctor With a Bite novel Chapter 5

"Iris, what happened?" Samuel immediately caught Iris, who swayed and seemed she might fall at any moment. He took off his coat and draped it over her.

Then, he held her protectively in his arms and asked, "Why are you still at Zouk Lounge?"

He'd arranged to meet Iris there. But after sending her away, he'd gone to Sebastian's room and had a couple of drinks. He'd never expected to run into such a scene.

Samuel coldly ordered, "Logan, clear the scene! Make sure nothing about tonight gets out!"

"Got it!" His assistant, Logan Lowe, obeyed.

Nestling in Samuel's arms, Iris shot Kylie a smug, provocative smile before putting on a pitiful expression.

"Kylie asked to meet. She said she regretted everything as marrying a man who doesn't love her will never bring her happiness. She wanted to step aside for us, but I never thought… She'd try to ruin me. She even took pictures to blackmail me…"

As Samuel listened, his eyes grew darker.

Kylie was stunned by Iris' words. It was Iris who'd been fooling around with another man, yet now she twisted the truth.

Sensing Samuel's growing anger, Kylie suppressed her shock and nervousness. Then, she calmly said, "It's not like what you think, Mr. Vance. You can investigate. I was just…"

"Shut up!" Samuel's sharp voice cut her off.

"I trusted you so much, Kylie. I begged Mom and Dad to take you to the Vance residence and came here to see you full of hope. How could you do this to me?" Iris continued sobbing pitifully.

Then, she looked up at Samuel with teary eyes. "Samuel, I just drank the cocktail she ordered. You can have it tested, and everything will clear up."

"M-Mr. Vance, i-it was her! She paid me to do this!" Scott suddenly pointed at Kylie as his voice trembled with nervousness.

The two worked together to play their parts seamlessly.

"Fuck! How dare you touch my woman!" Samuel's eyes swept over the disheveled Scott. Fury surged through him, and he kicked Scott so hard in the stomach to send him flying.

Then, his cold gaze landed on Kylie. "Logan, do as she said."

"Got it." Logan immediately took the two glasses of cocktails away for testing.

Kylie's heart pounded, and she felt a chill all over. Samuel was convinced Iris was the girl from years ago. Now, he treasured and adored her greatly.

It seemed he wasn't as cold and heartless as the rumors claimed. All his gentleness was probably meant for Iris, who enjoyed everything that should have belonged to Kylie—her parents and Samuel.

Yet, Iris wasn't cherishing any of it.

As the thought crossed Kylie's mind, she felt a mix of emotions, and her heart ached with every beat.

Logan soon returned with the test results, and his expression was grim. "The results are out, Mr. Vance."

Samuel took the report and read it, frowning. His thin lips pressed into a tight line as he radiated a dangerous air.

Iris had drunk a glass of Hanky Panky, a cocktail known for heightening sensation and stirring deep intoxications.

Kylie noticed the change in his expression and immediately understood everything. In his eyes, she was now nothing but a scheming woman who used underhanded tactics to force a marriage.

She understood that no amount of explanation mattered if Samuel didn't trust her, so she didn't bother defending herself and waited for Samuel to make his next move.

His eyes were cold as he ordered, "Logan, take her to Hythe Villa and keep a close watch on her!"

"Got it!" Logan replied. Then, he turned to Kylie with a look of disdain and said, "This way please, Ms. Clark."
