Chapter 487 The Banquet

Jerry raised his head and stared at the crescent moon outside the window with his deep

blue eyes.

Something crossed his mind, so Jerry groped his pocket and took out a packet of

powder the size of a fingernail.

Jerry stroked the packet with a decisive light in his eyes. Nobody knew what he was

thinking.

Sherlyn woke up on the fourth day of treatment.

Her eyes were half-open with no light in them. Sherlyn didn’t go crazy or hurt herself, she

was like a lifeless doll.

Viola, Russell, and Kolby nervously looked at Sherlyn who feebly leaned against the

bedhead.

Red-eyed, Russell suppressed his excitement. “Sherlyn, I am Russell, your lover. Do you

remember me?”

Sherlyn kept her head down without any response, as if she did not hear Russell at all.

Viola leaned over and whispered, “Do you know me? We met in an orphanage in

Washington. I am your best friend.”

If Sherlyn didn’t blink her eyes from time to time, Viola and Russell would think that she

was asleep.

Kolby recorded Sherlyn’s responses, shook his head, and sighed. “We failed. We can

calm her down with medicine. To cure her, we need to find out the cause of her disease.”

Viola thought, if so, we have to wait for the banquet.

Ronian will hold the banquet at his old house, so we may find out the truth that day.

“Sherlyn, do you remember Roman?” Viola sighed.

Sherlyn, who only blinked, slowly raised her head at the mention of this name, she said

weakly and calmly, “My second brother.”

Russell turned around in surprise and exchanged one glance with Viola.

Kolby recorded this new development.

Russell held Sherlyn’s hand and asked, “What about Jennifer?”

Sherlyn fell silent and did not respond.

“Pamela? She’s your mother. Do you remember her?”

There was no response.

Kolby took notes in detail, “she remembers only Mr. Felton. Possibly that the culprit

hypnotized her when she was unconscious after being drugged.”

Russell asked, “Does Ronian know hypnotism?”

Kolby said, “Well… I don’t know much about Mr. Felton. Ask Mr. Hobson. He may have

the answer.”

After Ormand came home at night, Viola brought up the topic of hypnotism.

Ormand pondered for a moment. “During the training in National Bureau of Investigation,

Ronian did learn something about psychology. However, the training didn’t last long.

Therefore, Ronian doesn’t know much about hypnotism even if he has learned it in

training.”

Viola looked grim. “If he drugged Sherlyn and hypnotized her, Sherlyn might act

according to his instructions, right?”

Ormand nodded. “Yes. I will add this finding to the record. If Jerry can find during the

banquet the medicine that Ronian hid, I can send Ronian to jail with the analysis report

of that medicine.”

“Great. That will spare Sherlyn from pain and trouble.”

Ormand held Viola by her slender waist and said worriedly, “Hypnosis and the drugs

severely damaged Sherlyn’s nerves, viola, you must know that Sherlyn may not fully

recover.”

“It is your guess. Don’t tell Russell for the time being because he will be disappointed.”

Viola sighed.

Ormand nodded. Then, he went upstairs to check his children with Viola hand in hand.

Days passed, and this was the day when Ronian would hold a banquet.

Russell took care of Sherlyn, so he did not attend the banquet. Viola, Ormand, Todd, and

Leia dressed up. They appeared at the banquet at 7:30 pm.

“Mr. Hobson, welcome. I haven’t seen you for a few days. I am jealous of you and your

wife for being in such a happy relationship.”

Ronian wore a decent smile on his face.

“If Viola wasn’t here, I might take your brother, Jerry, away today,” Ormand said with a

sinister light in his eyes.

“Mr. Hobson, you must be joking. That mess happened one year ago. Jerry regrets his

impulse then. He will not do anything crazy again.”

With a kind smile, Ronian added, “Tonight, I will tell Jerry to apologize to you again. I

hope you can forgive him.”

Ormand snorted arrogantly and then led Viola into the garden.

The garden became noisy after the guests arrived.

Jerry in a blue suit stood behind the curtains and looked at Ronian who was greeting the

guests with a smile.

Then, Jerry looked down at his watch. There were 15 minutes to go before the banquet

began.

Perhaps this is my opportunity, Jerry thought.

Jerry turned around and left the room. Then, he walked slowly in the corridor.

When Dewey walked past with something in his hands, Jerry deliberately and skillfully

collided with him.

“Ouch!”

Before the expensive glass bottle Dewey held in his hands fell to the ground, Jerry

quickly pulled Dewey up.

Meanwhile, Jerry agilely slipped his right hand into Dewey’s trouser pocket.

“Are you alright?”

“Thankyou. I’m fine.”

Dewey nodded, expressed his gratitude, and then strode away with the glass bottle.

Jerry looked at Dewey and clutched the small key in his hand.

In the past few days, Jerry kept observing Dewey about his routine and working habits.

Therefore, it was a piece of cake for Jerry to get the key.

When the garden attracted the gaze of all people, Jerry walked upstairs casually.

Jerry unlocked the door, opened it, and quietly sneaked into the corridor on the top floor.

All these happened in the blink of an eye.

Before Jerry went home, viola had told him the approximate location of Pamela’s

bedroom.

Jerry had a clear goal, so he went straight to the fourth closed door on the left.

Jerry turned the doorknob. He stood transfixed with shock after seeing what was in the

room.

Under the black sky, the Felton’s house looked beautiful with lanterns and streamers.

People in the garden clinked glasses and drank to each other’s health, looking

harmonious.

Viola and Ormand glanced at the pitch-dark top floor from time to time.

Todd and Leia drank champagne and chatted with Ronian.

Ronian felt annoyed. He didn’t show his impatience because he considered Todd and

Leia his guests. Moreover, they came with the Hobson couple.

Leia kept praising Ronian and asking him questions.

Even so, Ronian was still clear-headed. He called one servant over.

“The banquet will begin in two minutes. Go see if Jerry is ready. Why hasn’t he come to

entertain the guests? Does he need me to escort him as I do the ladies?”

Ronian sounded unhappy because Leia upset him.

“Yes, Mr. Felton.”

Todd and Leia exchanged one glance with each other in shock.

Leia said, “Mr. Felton, your brother has been abroad for almost one year. He must be

nervous now.”

“Mr. Felton, the banquet will start soon, but where is Mrs. Felton? I haven’t seen her.”

Todd asked. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ronian became grim as if this was a grave problem.
