Chapter 376

With a blank face, Ashlyn looked at Dixon and said, “Oh. Mr. Haddock. I didn’t know you like to use the ladies’ washroom.”

“Dr. Berry, I don’t have much patience. If you don’t want to see Berry Furnishings go bankrupt, you’d better promise me that you will see my Grandpa.” He stared at her evilly.

“If that’s the case, please let Berry Furnishings go bankrupt as soon as possible,” Ashlyn stated calmly.

She then left as soon as she finished speaking.

Ashlyn went back to the private room.

As she was a bit thirsty, she reached out for her glass of water in front of her.

Her family members were watching her closely, especially Horace.

As soon as Ashlyn picked up her glass, Horace felt his heart beat faster. He was getting nervous and also feeling a little bit guilty at the same time.

When Ashlyn’s red lips almost touched the rim of the glass, the waiter came in to serve them their creamy corn bisque.

Ashlyn glanced at her glass again.

She was a doctor and was extremely sensitive to drugs.

There was nothing strange about her glass of water, but she had a bad hunch.

Furthermore, she noticed that her family members were staring at her closely. She found the situation a bit weird.

But still, she pretended to take a sip before she put the glass down in silence.

Her family members instantly felt relieved when they saw her drink the water.

Ashlyn squinted her eyes before taking a serviette to wipe her mouth.

She then took a bowl of the creamy corn bisque and drank it slowly.

“Why hasn’t Mr. Haddock come back yet?” Horace stood up. “Let me go and look for him.”

“Honey, let me go with you.”

“Mom, don’t leave me behind. I don’t want to stay here with Ashlyn alone.”

At that, three of them went out. The door of the private room was slammed shut.

Ashlyn raised her eyebrows when they left. She then exchanged her glass with Penelope in a hurry.

Ashlyn was a kind person as long as people did not cross the line.

If someone wanted to hurt her, she would not let them get to her.

As soon as Horace and his family came out from the private room, they met Dixon.

The four of them went back to the private room together.

Ten minutes later…

Horace glanced at Ashlyn stealthily.

He sensed that something was not right.

Ashlyn drank the water just now. But it’s been more than ten minutes…Why is she not showing any symptoms yet? Does the drug need a longer time to take effect?

Penelope was confused too. Dad said the drug would turn even the purest girl horny in just seconds.

No matter what, we must let Ashlyn accompany Mr. Haddock tonight.

Penelope picked up her glass in front of her and took a sip.

“Penelope, come. Let’s give Mr. Haddock a toast,” said Horace. Horace was not a fool. Although he would like Penelope to marry a rich man, Dixon was definitely not the person he would choose. He was ruthless and cruel. Penelope would surely be bullied if she were in a relationship with him. It was impossible for her to become his wife.

That is why I choose Ashlyn this time. As long as Ashlyn is aroused with the drug, Mr. Haddock could do whatever he wants with her. I don’t care if he dumps her later… It’s none of my business.

Penelope stood up. However, as soon as she wanted to say something, she felt her body getting hot;

her face was burning.

Her throat felt dry and scratchy.

The moment she spoke, her voice sounded like a cat in heat, “Ahhh… Mr. Haddock… Ahh…”

Penelope couldn’t help but clench her legs as she looked at Dixon uncomfortably.

She was sending amorous glances to him…

Penelope felt befuddled. What is happening to me?

She felt extremely uncomfortable and could not stand steadily.

Horace immediately noticed something was wrong with her. “Penelope, what’s wrong with you?”

Penelope’s face reddened, and she could not help but twist her waist in front of them. “Dad… I… I’m so uncomfortable.”

Dixon took a glance at Penelope, who was in heat.

He could not help but sneer, “I didn’t expect Ms. Berry is so open-minded.”
