"I know I've made a mistake, Mr. Killian. Can I not drink it?" Lorna gulped while asking nervously.
Fiona had prepared the aphrodisiac for Lorna. Moreover, Fiona even added extra so that she and Lorna could achieve their goal.
As the aphrodisiac was quite potent, most people would lose their senses after having half a glass. In the end, they would only be left with their primal urges.
Bernard did not say anything else as he pointed the gun at Lorna.
With the muzzle of the gun pointed in her direction again, she became so terrified that she had no other choice but to do as he said.
"I'll drink it! I'll drink it!" Lorna slowly walked toward the coffee table. After taking an empty glass and filling it up halfway, she tilted her head backward and forced herself to finish its contents.
Bernard cast a glance at her before checking the time. Having estimated that it was almost time for Hera's return, he resisted the itch on his body and tipped his head back to finish the remaining glass of spiked water.
Lorna was shocked to see Bernard drink it. At the same time, the aphrodisiac was starting to take effect. She began to feverishly tear off her clothes while moving closer to him.
…
Meanwhile, Fiona was in the banquet hall. She checked the time before looking at the closed door to the lounge.
Lorna had not come out after being inside for such a long time. Fiona thought it was very likely that Lorna had succeeded in the task.
Fiona was determined to give Lorna a hand. If Lorna could marry Bernard, the Killian family would be a huge support to Lorna and Fiona.
After all, the Killians would be a powerful backer. Moreover, Bernard was Tyler's nemesis. Thus, Lorna could hold her own against Tyler and become the head of the Presgrave family.
