362 She Is Drugged


    Director Lee nodded. He intended to pull Isabe towards him.


    Isabe suddenly opened her mouth.


    The moment Director Lee reached out, she snapped at his arm.


    She felt like she was on fire. Fortunately, those are low-alcohol drinks. So her mind was still very clear. She found that Miles was no longer gentle and warm, and Lee was not as stern and dignified as he used to be.


    She even guessed that they wanted to join up to do something against her!


    “Damn it!” Director Lee felt a pain in his arm. He flung Isabe away. She fell onto the bed.


    “Lee, you are really a good for nothing bum! You can’t even deal with a little girl!”


    Miles nced at her watch and stomped her feet in anger. She stepped forward and hugged Isabe from behind. She grabbed her hair and lifted her face. “Hurry up and force her to drink it all!”


    “What are you doing to me?”


    .....


    Isabe struggled, but she was too weak to stop them.


    “You’ll know soon!”


    Director Lee looked at the bite marks on his arm. He got very angry. He pinched Isabe’s chin and poured the drink down her throat.


    Isabe choked on the sweet and sour drink. She involuntarily screamed desperately, “No ... I don’t want to drink! What do you want to do? Let go off me!”


    Isabe was struggling so hard that she was only forced to drink half of the drink. Miles angrily grabbed Isabe’s mouth and said anxiously, “Lee, you make her drink another bottle! I’m afraid the medicine mixed in the drink is not strong enough!”


    “Is she gonna be all right?”


    Director Lee saw that Isabe choked and coughed. He hesitated. “If we let her drink too much, she may be in danger.”


    “We have no other choice!”


    Miles snatched the drink from Director Lee’s hand, “If we fail today, we will suffer more than losing our reputation!”


    ...


    After Cedric answered a call, he soon arrived at the Star Building which was opposite to the Golden Apartment.


    Joseph opened the door for Cedric. Joseph was wearing a ck shirt. His face was very quiet, and he looked very serious.


    The two men sat across from each other on the sofa. Joseph poured a ss of red wine for Cedric and said, “We’re both men. I’ll get straight to the point. Cedric, how can you let Isabe go?”


    Cedric paused with a wine cup in his hand. “Joseph, what do you mean?”


    “No matter the woman you slept with, or the girlfriend you made, you’ve never taken any of them seriously...”


    Joseph looked at Cedric coldly, “I know you better than others. You’re the young master of the Stretton family. Your family controlled the entire underworld of Peace City. You look gentle, but you are actually heartless and cruel. You have been abroad for many years just to study design? Isabe is a simple girl. What do you see in her? Is it because she is different from those women you knew before? If you want to find any woman who is pure, charming or cute for your freshness, just tell me. I can help you until you are satisfied! But don’t approach Isabe, OK? You are not a gentle person, and you cannot give the gentleness she wants! She is my woman! I’ll not allow you to hurt her!”


    Cedric kept silent and then he smiled. “Joseph, you think Isabe and I are just ying around? Do you know we have established our rtionship?”


    Joseph didn’t say anything. Cedric added with a smile, “Isabe is my blind date partner. We are in love for the sake of marriage. From the moment we established our rtionship, we were already engaged. She knows this very well. I told you before, a girlfriend and a wife are forever two different concepts for me. I have always been very gentle to my wife.”


    “Wife?”


    Joseph smiled disdainfully. “Alright, Cedric, I admit that Isabe indeed trusts and relies on you because you met each other a few times when you were young. But do you really not feel it? She was just wronged by me and tookfort from you. She had depended on others for a living since childhood. Shecked a sense of security. As I hurt her feelings, she was sad and angry at me. And she met you when she was in danger. You are like the straws that she could clutch at. In other words, she will only seek protection and security from you. She takes you as her brother. Do you think she fell in love with you? Did she say that she loved you?”


    Cedric looked down and gulped down a mouthful of wine. “These are just what you think. Joseph, why should I believe your judgment is correct?”


    Joseph paused and said angrily, “The day she left home, we were still discussing buying the diamond ring! Cedric, don’t be so self-righteous. Who do you think you are? You are just taking advantage of others!”


    “That day in the West City District, she was surrounded by a few gangsters. She was pushed around and hugged by them. Where were you when she screamed in panic?”


    Cedric got furious. “Later, I held her hand and took her away. I brought her back to the apartment and gave her a cup of hot milk. Her hands were kept trembling in fear ... Where were you then?”


    Cedric said fiercely, “I don’t care whether I take advantage of anyone. But if I saved her life is nothing, then what about you who abandoned her? You just want to keep her with you and control her because she is simple and easy to coax!”


    Joseph frowned. “I didn’t leave her alone on purpose that day. Ste deleted all my messages and phone calls. This is a misunderstanding.”


    “Misunderstanding?”


    Cedric stood up and sneered, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you just let this misunderstanding continue? You already have Ste. Could you give up Isabe to me?”


    Joseph pped the table and stood up. “What do you mean? No! I only want to marry Isabe!”


    ...


    Vans Nightclub.


    Isabe drank a bottle of drink mixed with medicine. Now she couldn’t defend herself.


    “The medicine works. It’s our time!”


    Miles carried Isabe to the bed and observed her for a while. Isabe looked ssy-eyed. Miles said, “All set. Lee, quickly bring Lukas in. I’ll turn on the camera.”


    “Alright!”


    Isabe curled up on the bed and she twitched.


    Weak and unbearable loneliness made her extremely upset. She just felt pins and needles all over.


    After a while, the door opened. A gust of cold wind came. Isabe stretched her neck anxiously to cool off. She was burning.


    In a daze, she saw Lukas...
