He turned his head and saw no movement inside the SUV, guessing that the driver must have passed out. He quickly got out of his car and ran over.
As he approached the SUV, he froze because the person sitting inside was none other than Nathan Humphreyâs mother, Liliana Grey.
Lilianaâs face was flushed red, and there was a noticeable injury on her forehead from the impact.
Greg thought she had been knocked unconscious by the hit, so he rushed to check her pulse.
Then, his expression immediately darkened.
The reason Liliana had passed out was not due to the impact, but because she had been poisoned with a potent seductive drug!
At this moment, her face was red, breathing rapid, and her heartbeat was as fast as a drum.
Clearly, the seductive poison had already invaded her heart, and he had to administer an antidote to her immediately.
Greg furrowed his brow and gestured to the security guard at the entrance of Dreamscape Garden. He was acquainted with the guards since he would occasionally chat and smoke with them.
The guard saw his wave and hurried over with a smile, âMr. Jensen, donât worry. We have surveillance at the entrance; this accident has nothing to do with you.â
âItâs not about that!â
Greg, caught between laughter and tears, said, âThe person in the accident is my friend. Iâm going to take her back to my place to rest for a bit. You keep an eye out for the insurance companyâs people. When they arrive, help me handle the procedures.
After everythingâs done, you can keep it with you until sheâs okay to come and get it herself.â
The guard glanced at Liliana Grey in Gregâs arm and, with a knowing smile, nodded willingly:
âNo problem, itâs a small matter. Drive in quickly, itâs freezing out here.â
âGreat, thanks for the trouble.â
Greg carried Liliana to his car and drove into Dreamscape Garden.
Once at home, he took her straight to the bathtub and turned on the cold water, pouring it over her.
Then, he took a large amount of ice cubes from the refrigerator and dumped them all into the bathtub.
He hesitated for a moment before stripping Lilianaâs clothes off and took out a silver needle, planning to stem the flow of the seductive poison.
But just then, Liliana, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Greg with a dazed expression.
The next second, she lunged at him with her hot body.
Greg tried to break free but found that the poisoned Liliana was incredibly strong, and he didnât dare use too much force for fear of injuring her.
Back and forth, Liliana, like a well-trained ground technique master, had locked Gregâs joints, and her clothes had long disappeared.
Waves of fragrant scent, accompanied by warm breath, entered Gregâs nostrils.
The unique charm of a mature woman was unmistakable at this moment.
After struggling a few times, unable to escape, Greg became heated up as well and carried Liliana back to the bedroom.
If he couldnât resist, then he could only close his eyes and enjoy it.
Time passed, and eventually, Liliana fell into a deep sleep.
Greg looked at the messy room and let out a helpless sigh.
Who would believe this if he told them?
He shook his head, gently rose to his feet, and tidied up a bit before planning to go to the spare bedroom to sleep.
But then he thought, since everything that needed to be done was done, what was there to fear about taking a nap?
He turned back, about to get into bed to sleep, but found Liliana already awake, leaning against the bedhead and looking at him shyly.
âUhâ¦â
Gregâs face turned red and he said awkwardly, âWell⦠When I got home, I saw you had an accident, then realized you might have been drugged.
I intended to take you to the bathroom for a cold shower, but⦠it seems that it didnât have much effect.â
Lilianaâs gaze lingered on Greg, half her face hidden under the blanket, looking at his distinctly muscled physique while her heart raced.
Watching Greg Jensen struggling to continue, she blushed and said, âActually⦠I remember everything.â
âHuh?â
âYes, I remember what just happened. I initiated it, so donât blame yourself.â
Liliana Greyâs gaze seemed distant, as if reminiscing about the sensation she had just experienced. Since her husbandâs death, she had not felt this way.
Decades had flown by, and unexpectedly, the man she was with was a young fellow.
Seeing that she wasnât speaking, Greg hesitated and said, âWhy donât you⦠take a nap first? Iâll sleep in the next room. We can talk about anything in the morning.â
âNo way!â
Liliana Grey lifted her head; the smile on her face had disappeared, replaced by a cold indifference as she said, âAfter all, you slept with me. Do you really think itâs going to end like this?â
Greg frowned and asked, âWhat do you want then?â
A sly glint appeared in Lilianaâs eyes as she crooked her finger at Greg and said, âCome here, Iâll tell you.â
Greg unsuspectingly approached the bedside.
But at that moment, Liliana suddenly pounced on him and whispered, âIf you want your sister to forgive you, youâll have to do it again.â
âYou⦠â
Upon hearing this, Greg realized he had been played and flew into a rage, delivering a smack to her bottom.
âBrother, it hurtsâ¦â
âDonât call me brother!â
âNo, I will!â
Smack!
Another slap left her fair skin visibly reddening.
âAhh, I was wrongâ¦â
Until the break of dawn, the two were still wide awake, sitting side by side at the head of the bed, smoking cigarettes.
Moments later, Liliana suddenly turned her head, shared a look with Greg, and both of them burst into laughter before starting a conversation about the art of painting.

At Harrisonâs Home Cooking, Cindy was livid, her face an iron shade as she said sternly, âJay Brent, that son of a bitch, acts so tough. Turns out heâs just a silver needle with a wax head.
Failed to deal with Jensen, and instead got extorted out of two to three million, what a waste!â
âCindy, donât be in such a hurry. These things take time; you canât rush them.â
Judy Lampe advised, âIf it really comes to it, we can wait for Ethan to come back.â
âDreamscape Garden will be opening soon, and theyâve even started advertising. If we wait for that bastard to return, all our loyal customers at Harrisonâs Home Cooking will be snatched away.â
âBut we donât have any other good solutions right now.â
Cindy was extremely upset. After thinking it over, she decided to call Ethan to see if she could use his connections to dig into Gregâs networks and look for ways to deal with him.
This time Ethan was quite obliging, sending over a number to Cindy without a second word and telling her to call that person directly for anything she wanted to investigate.
Cindy finally felt somewhat relieved. After a spell of coquetry, she hung up and dialed the number Ethan had sent.
Once she made clear who she wanted to investigate, Cindy felt completely relieved and asked, âAuntie, when is Dreamscape Garden opening?â
âThe 28th of this month. Seems like theyâre planning to heat things up early and capitalize on the New Yearâs rush.â
âHeh, find me a floor clock. When Dreamscape Garden opens, Iâll personally deliver it.â
âGreat idea, that funeral bell will ensure their business plummets!â
âHmph, letâs see what Greg Jensen is capable of this time.â
