Vincent had been to Howard's house three days ago.
Later, he didn't look so good when he came back, so Ruben asked him what had happened, but he blatantly ignored him and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.
Curious, Ruben immediately replayed the surveillance and footage, only to find that Vincent and Elaine were doing the despicable thing on the sofa.
Vincent scared her out of her wits.
As a result, Vincent left the house frantically and even acted like a big bully, threatening her not to tell anyone about what happened.
Upon thinking of this, Ruben rubbed his chin and wondered if he should check the surveillance again to see what did they do last night.
With determination, Ruben muttered to himself, "I'll check the surveillance and see how was she able to make you sleep by just singing. She's not a mermaid, is she? I bet she spiked your drink without you noticing it."
Vincent frowned, a look of suspicion flashing across his face.
When he woke up on the sofa this morning, he was confused at first and quickly followed by shock. Never did he expect that he would fall asleep unscrupulously.
In fact, it was in such an uncomfortable posture as both of them squeezed in the same sofa for a whole night as if they were warming up each other.
The autumn night was quite cold but the coldness did not wake him up.
On the contrary, he slept soundly for a few hours.
Although it was not long, it was good sleep quality.
He felt even better than sleeping after taking the sleeping pills.
After he woke up, apart from the soreness on his body due to the poor sleeping posture, he felt surprisingly relaxed and refreshed.
It was an extraordinary feeling after a night of excellent sleep quality.
This had been bothering him for the whole day today. Why and how could he fall asleep in that kind of state?
In the study.
As Ruben watched the surveillance replay, he felt confused and complicated.
He had thought that he would see something indescribable, but when he looked at the monitor, what he saw was two people sitting in the dark living room chatting about some boring topics.
This was the ruthless and fearsome Vincent! Why would he chat to Elaine about such boring topics?
Glancing at Vincent several times in disbelief, Ruben stated, "I've checked all the surveillance in every room, and I confirm that she didn't drug you. Are you sure it was not because of the sleeping pill she gave you that made you fall asleep?"
Vincent said faintly, "I took two pills after I came back this morning, and I've been up for the whole day."
What he meant was that even two pills would not be effective on him, let alone one.
Rubbing his chin skeptically, Ruben blurted, "That's weird."
The surveillance video showed that the two of them curled up on the sofa and fell deeply asleep for a few hours.
It wasn't until dawn when Vincent abruptly woke up. After sitting on the sofa for a while, he carried Elaine back to her room and left.
After turning off the video, Ruben thought for a while and raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you give her a try again tonight? Let's see if she can make you fall asleep by singing again and this time, without pill."
Ignoring him, Vincent stood up and began to walk out.
Ruben paused for a moment and asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
"Howard's house."
"D*mn it, wait for me!"
Morgan had already ordered the servants to prepare a feast, waiting for Ruben to bring Vincent downstairs to eat.
Vincent had only a handful of people whom he trusted, and Ruben was one of them.
