Chapter 82: Chapter 82 She... Feels Uncomfortable

Alexander Johnson and Chloe Simpson both drank the water; the Flibanserin will take effect in less than half an hour.

No, this time the dose he added was substantial; it wouldn’t even take half an hour.

Hahaha, I really can’t wait!

Lucas Hughes’ heart was excitedly restless, and he even closed his eyes and began to fantasize.

He didn’t notice anything unusual about Alexander Johnson after drinking the water.

Whether it was a habit he developed over the years abroad, or because he was always wary of Gabriella Dyer, he noticed something was off after just a few sips before putting down the glass.

Just like animals in nature keenly sensing danger.

He gently put down the glass, scanned the room, taking in the bed, sofa, nightstand, clothes rack, IV stand, and even the curtains by the window.

Then he got up and went to inspect the bathroom.

Chloe Simpson assumed Alexander just needed to use the restroom and didn’t think much of it.

Everything seemed normal in the bathroom too.

But emerging from the bathroom, Alexander still felt a strong sense of danger.

Inside the cabinet, Lucas Hughes imagined he would soon see Chloe and Alexander’s intense reactions, so excited that his tightly clenched hands were trembling nonstop.

Even his body was shuddering with anticipation.

However, because he clenched his hands too tightly, his bones cracked audibly.

Yet that slight sound was instantly detected by Alexander’s keen senses.

He held his breath, softened his steps, and slowly moved towards the cabinet.

Inside the cabinet, Lucas could clearly see everything outside through the gaps, watching Alexander slowly approach.

His breath caught suddenly, and his heart leapt to his throat.

Did Alexander discover him?

It’s over!

Alexander, however, was staring unblinkingly at the cabinet, assuming a defensive posture.

He instinctively and continuously analyzed who could be hiding inside the cabinet in his mind.

Gabriella’s people?

His enemies? Or the Johnson family’s enemies?

The Johnson Clan, being the financial moguls of Kyohai, must have made plenty of enemies over the years.

And he, as the Eldest Young Master of the Johnson Family, was a prime target for revenge.

When he reached the cabinet, he glanced at Chloe, who was lying on the bed, back turned to him, still unaware of anything amiss.

That’s good, for if there truly was danger in the cabinet, he could neutralize the threat as quickly as possible.

A small cabinet like that could hide at most two people, not more.

With his skills, handling not just two but even four people wouldn’t be a problem.

Inside the cabinet, Lucas was so nervous that cold sweat drenched his entire body, the shirt sticking to his skin in wet patches.

The fearful consequences of being discovered by Alexander made him almost want to cry out in despair!

What to do?

Ah! What should he do?

Damn it, how did he get so unlucky!

Alexander is truly formidable!

Why did such a small sound raise his suspicions?

When Alexander laid his hand on the cabinet’s handle, Lucas was so scared he almost wet himself.

Just as Alexander was about to open the cabinet, his phone rang unexpectedly.

It was a message from Jack Woods: [Young Master, are you alright? Our surveillance team noticed Lucas Hughes didn’t go home after work, so they came to report immediately. After an investigation, they found he went into a pharmaceutical research base, likely targeting you and Miss Simpson.]

[Here is a video of his sneaky entrance, only capturing this brief segment. Fearful of being discovered by Gabriella, our team didn’t dare record more. Is there anything unusual on your end?]

Alexander turned the volume on his phone to the lowest, watching the video sent by Jack.

The video clearly showed Lucas sneaking into the room just before he and Chloe left.

He turned off his phone, glanced at the gap in the cabinet, and smirked.

So, it was Lucas Hughes.

If it were Gabriella’s people, it would indeed be dangerous.

But if it were Lucas, the bastard, there was no need to worry.

A single look from him would have this bastard begging for mercy!

But what did Lucas come in for?

[No problem, it’s just Lucas. I can handle him alone.]

Alexander replied to Jack, then returned to the bed, planning to stay put and see what Lucas was up to.

However, as he lay back down, it wasn’t long before he felt an unusual heat within his body.

He was very familiar with this sensation.

Back then, Gabriella tried to plant spies around him using such tactics with many women.

Alexander glanced at the water just now.

Alright, Lucas, you dared to mess with him.

Courting death!

Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he was about to rush to the cabinet and save Lucas from harm.

But just then, he heard a muffled groan from Chloe.

He paused, looking at her; she was already flushed with heat, sweat pouring down the sides of her face.

Alexander’s face darkened, remembering how she gulped down nearly the entire glass of water earlier.

Back when he nearly fell into Gabriella’s trap, he went to great lengths to test various drugs on himself, bolstering his resistance to such substances.

By now, his resistance in this area had reached a level far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Even so, he felt the heat within him, let alone Chloe.

She must be feeling a hundred thousand times more heated than him.

Well done, Lucas, you infertile medical doctor; your expertise in this field is impressive.

Too bad you used it wrongly, scheming against him, you were living on borrowed time!

Alexander clenched his fist, ready to charge toward the cabinet, but was suddenly held back by Chloe.

"I... feel... terrible..."
