Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 65

Marcus would never stoop to low as to hurt others with dirty tricks, but in the circle he was in anything and anyone were capable of using tricks

Has buddy Zavier ended up marrying Skyler after being drugged and accidentally sleeping in bed with her

Cornela’s life was way simpler. When she wasn’t working she’d mostly stay at home painting, charless about all that shady stuff. “Drugged? What kind of drug?” She asked

“Aphrodisiac “Marcus gritted his teeth to say d, his eyes dark and terrifying behind his silver glasses

Whoever dared to use such low means on him would pay the price

“Aphrodisiac Cornelia was so shocked she almost bit her tongue and could hardly speak.

Now she understood why her body was reacting so strangely

It wasn’t just the heat, it felt like countless bugs were crawling inside her, itching her so much she wanted to scratch her entire body with her nails.

President Hartley, who drugged us? When? Why would someone target you and me specifically?” Cornelia had no clue, with so many questions in her head

Did you smell something strange in the room?” Marcus guessed that the weird scent might be the issue.

smelled it when I entered the room. I thought it was air freshener Before she finished, Cornelia suddenly realized something “President Hartley, if that’s the case the scent was there before we

entered the room. Could it be that the person who drugged us wasn’t aiming for you and me?”

The scent had been placed in the room beforehand, which originally belonged to her and Leonardo.

if Leonardo hadn’t swapped roles with Marcus before the game started, he would have been the one to enter the room.

If she had lost control to Leonardo due to the drug, someone would have “accidentally witnessed it, spread the news, and ruined her reputation. It would force her to leave Riverton in the most humiliating way

Cornella quickly concluded that Courtney, the terrifying woman, must be the mastermind behind all this!

Thinking of Courtney, Cornella hurriedly backed away from Marcus, even looking at him with a touch of fear in her eyes.

“You suspect me?” Her fearful eyes were like a sharp blade piercing Marcus’s heart, making his voice colder. “Do you think I’m so desperate for a woman that I’d use such dirty tricks on you?”

“I’m not suspecting you, I’m suspecting your mother “Cornelia explained. “President Hartley, I suspect she wants to frame me, and Leonardo is just her pawn. But no one could have predicted that you would switch roles with him before the game started.”

“It’s no coincidence!” Marcus knew his mother well, if Courtney had planned this, it couldn’t have been random

There were ten people playing the murder mystery game tonight, five men and five women.

Cameron was the current head of the Reese family, and the Reeses had always been close to the Kamps, so naturally, Courtney wouldn’t target him

The other two were too timid and wouldn’t dare do anything to Marcus’s assistant.

Leonardo was a member of the Wilson family but had no inheritance rights. He had a bad reputation over the years, and everyone thought he was a typical playboy who’d sleep with any woman, so Courtney chose him.

If Leonardo hadn’t swapped roles with Marcus, he would have been the one to enter the room, and by now.

Marcus didn’t even dare to think about it any further.

Araging fury exploded in Marcus’s chest, but he still spoke gently to Cornelia, “Cornelia, don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer this injustice for nothing”

“Okay “Cornelia wanted to say thank you, but her head was fuzzy, and the drug was gradually eating away at her rationality.

Marcus was in a similar situation, especially his enchanting eyes, which seemed to be filled with blood at this moment.

For a split second, he even thought about giving in to lust, but his strong rationality desperately held back his unbearable evil thoughts.

As Comelia was confusedly tugging at her clothes, he rushed over and grabbed her hand. “Cornelia, listen to me.” He said.

Before he could finish, he himself was the first to succumb. Cornelia’s hand was so soft and smooth that it could be completely wrapped in his large palm, and he wanted to hold it for just a little longer

However, he was a man, not a beast. He would never take advantage of someone in distress, especially Cornelia

Marcus let go of Cornelia and immediately stepped back, organizing his words again, “Cornelia, the door is locked, and we can’t leave for the time being Just hang on a little longer. When Dr. Dawson gets here, we’ll be fine. To prevent anything bad from happening before Dr. Dawson arrives, I go to the corner farthest from you, and we won’t look at each other, okay?”

Cornelia obediently nodded. “Okay”

He said everything would be fine when Dr. Dawson arrived, and she believed him.

Marcus pushed up his silver glasses, struggling to look away from Cornelia, and sat down in the corner on the right.

He turned his back, not daring to look at Cornelia again, knowing that one more glance and he would lose his senses

Similarly, Cornelia also had her back to him, afraid she couldn’t control herself.

Whenever a voice in her head told her that there was a “cure” for her in the room, she would forcefully scratch a bloody mark on her arm.

She used pain to keep herself rational, and before she knew it, both of her arms were covered with various sized bloody marks.

Cornelia didn’t know how much longer she could hold on, or even if she could wait for Dr. Dawson to arrive

Meanwhile, Billy rushed to Courtney with a tablet, panic–stricken, “Ma’am, something’s gone wrong” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“What the heck made you freak out like this?” Courtney grabbed the tablet, and when she saw Marcus in the video, she lost her cool instantly. “Why is it Marc?”

Billy wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “Leonardo and President Hartley swapped roles”

“Drop everything, get to the airport now!” Courtney didn’t dare to waste a second, and immediately rushed to the airport

On the way to the airport, Courtney still held the tablet, watching every move of the two people in the room.

She knew her son’s self–control very well, no method could affect him if he wasn’t interested in the woman.

On the contrary, it was that woman named Cornelia who was impressive Shed rather get hurt herself than do anything inappropriate

This was a massive threat!

She couldn’t relax until the eliminated this threat, but she definitely wouldn’t act so hastily in the future
