Chapter 1196



Devin paused and turned to look at her.

His gaze was cold and distant, like a dagger stabbing into her heart.

“Get lost!” Devin spat out.

Carmelita stiffened as the color drained from her face.

Without another word, Devin continued to walk forward.

Carmelita could only watch them go, even as she stewed in a mix of worry and resentment.

This was all Belinda’s fault! If she hadn’t interfered…

Belinda soon jumped into the driver’s seat and sped to the nearest hospital.

The doctors and nurses took over as soon as they reached the emergency room.

“What happened?” the doctor asked Belinda.

He needed to understand the patient’s situation in order to administer the proper treatment.

“Uh…” Belinda wasn’t sure how to explain Devin’s condition. She had a rough guess about what had transpired, but she hadn’t exactly confirmed it. She turned to Devin in silent query.

Devin was barely holding on at that point. He took a deep breath, practically gasping for air, and said, “I’ve been drugged with a potent aphrodisiac.”

The doctor hesitated momentarily but swiftly regained his composure. He then turned to the nurse beside him and instructed, “Take him to the emergency unit immediately.”

“Understood,” the nurse replied.

Devin was swiftly escorted away by the medical team, leaving Belinda and Bethany exchanging glances filled with incredulity.

“So it’s true,” Bethany murmured, her expression darkening. “Devin has been drugged.”

She then sighed, her voice laced with complexity. “Judging from the way he reacted to Carmelita earlier, even if she didn’t administer the drug herself, she was definitely involved in the matter.”

Belinda’s lips pressed into a thin line. She remained silent.

Bethany continued, “It seems Carmelita was attempting to get Devin and Iliana to sleep together. I’m familiar with Iliana—she’s the second daughter of the Garza family. Her father, Gil Garza, is the CEO of the Garza Group. The Davidson and Garza families have maintained strong business ties over the years. I’ve even heard rumors that Iliana has been infatuated with Devin for quite some time.”

She exhaled deeply before adding, “Now, the question is: was it Iliana who drugged Devin, or was it Carmelita?”

Belinda’s voice was calm but resolute. “Regardless of who did it, this kind of manipulation is inexcusable.”

“Absolutely!” Bethany agreed vehemently, a flicker of disdain flashing in her eyes.
