Since she resorted to playing such a filthy trick against Arielle, Vinson felt it was only fair to feed her own poison back to her.
Just then, Donovan woke up and caught the word “aphrodisiac.”
He was no fool either. Watching Queenie being dragged out of the room, he instantly understood who the aphrodisiac was supposed to be used on.
“Vinson! You mustn't do that! That's against the law!”
Hearing that, Vinson immediately swung a kick toward Donovan's abdomen.
“Did it ever cross your mind that it's illegal when you used the drug on Arielle?”
"I ." Donovan opened his mouth to speak but could not find a word to defend himself.
He thought his plan was perfect, but he had not foreseen Vinson's appearance.
“Take him away as well!” Vinson ordered at the top of his voice and added, “He has a broken rib, which might impact his movements. Find him an orthopedic to stop his pain temporarily and treat his other wounds before giving him the drug.”
“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard then dragged Donovan out of the room, with Rayson following closely behind.
Then, only Arielle and Vinson were left in the room.
Arielle instantly felt her breath quickening as if the air in the room had suddenly grown thin, and her heartbeat began racing as she shot a glance
at Vinson.
“Vinson, I..."
“Hmm?” Vinson's voice was tender as he turned and gazed deeply into her eyes.
Taking in a deep breath, Arielle mustered all the courage she could garner and said, “I met with a psychologist today.”
Vinson froze for a moment, asking uncomprehendingly, “What for?”
Clenching her fists tightly, Arielle gulped before answering, “B-Because I've been experiencing some symptoms that I found puzzling.”
“Puzzling? In what way?”
“1-1 was puzzled over the strange feelings whenever I saw you, I-"
Before she could finish her words, however, Vinson's phone rang.
“Sorry, please excuse me for a moment,” he apologized before picking up the call.
A moment later, a deep frown formed on his forehead as he spoke into the phone, “If he rejects this one, then just assign him someone else. Don't accept any offers for him within the next month.”
With that, he hung up the phone and turned back to Arielle at once. “Sorry about that. You were saying something puzzling happens to you whenever you see me? What was it?”
