There was a slight sound of footsteps from outside.
She shook her head, thinking it was Anna coming in, and shouted out loud, “Anna, I’m not ready yet. Can you wait for me a while longer outside!”
After saying that, she braced herself and tried to stand up for a shower.
However, the tingling sensation coming from her body made her knees go weak, and she nearly fell.
Zoe’s face turned pale as she snapped awake.
How could she not know what was going on with this familiar sensation?
Damn it!
How could that be?
She remembered no one had ever touched anything she had eaten this evening. And there was no way something should happen to that cup of wine.
Could it be…
She widened her eyes and suddenly remembered the cup of warm water Anna had just given her.
Her eyes turned freezing cold, and the raging anger was about to explode in her chest.
So these people just … would never fail to surprise her whenever she decided to go easy with them.
They had treated her in such an underhand and stupid way repeatedly, thinking she was just a weak cat!
Zoe bit her tongue hard, and the taste of blood spread in her mouth, temporarily clearing her mind for a few moments.
Then, she struggled to get out of the bathtub on her hands and knees.
…
The sound of footsteps outside grew closer and closer. At the next second, someone opened the bathroom door from the outside.
Randy Kruf walked in with a lascivious smile on his face, looking around excitedly as he pushed the door open.
However, the bathroom was empty. The bubble-covered bathtub was still laden with a steaming mist, but the person who should be in there was nowhere to be found.
He was puzzled and let out a shrill.
Then, he glanced over the corner of the bathroom, where a pair of slippers could be found under the hem of the curtain, and the curtain seemed to have just moved a little.
He got it immediately. He walked over and chuckled, rubbing his hands together excitedly.
“My dear, what are you doing hiding behind the curtain? Come on, let me take a good bath with you! After you’ve bathed, let me sleep with you, okay?”
His lascivious and nasty words were so disgusting.
He quickly walked to the curtain. He had his heart in his throat at the thought of a gorgeous naked beauty standing behind it.
He gripped the corner of the curtain with excitement and said, “Here I am!”
Then, he opened it with a swish.
He froze the next moment.
There was nothing behind the curtain, except for the open window, blowing in chilly breezes.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
His face changed.
“Damn it! How dare you trick me!”
He subconsciously thought that Ciara was fooling him. He was about to turn around and go down to settle the score with her. However, just then, “Bang!”
“You-”
He looked incredulously at the woman standing in front of him, covering the back of his head as he fell limply.
Zoe sighed in relief, looking at the man lying on the ground.
She dragged him behind the curtain with great effort and took a rope to tie the man up before she changed her clothes and walked out.
The bedroom door had been locked up from the outside, and she couldn’t open it after several attempts.
She had not expected Ciara to go this far to prevent her from escaping.
Zoe furrowed her brows tightly.
Now that things had come to this point, there was no way to leave. She thought for a while and fished out her mobile phone to call Henry.
Meanwhile, Henry was eating out at the moment.
Almost all of the most prestigious noblemen in Eqitin were inside the luxurious private room.
Though they had come from different backgrounds, politics, army, and business, all of them were just elites, the best of the lot.
They were all Henry’s best friends and had grown up in the same block.
At this moment, they were laughing and discussing something.
Henry sat at the side of the round table and didn’t join their discussion.
His face was tinged with a slight flush due to the wine he had drunk. But even so, his handsomeness was still unhidden.
On the contrary, he looked loose and passive because of the alcohol. The way he leaned slightly askew against the back of his chair made him look even more like an aristocrat in the legends.
A man filled the glass of wine in front of him and said with a smile, “Henry, you are the host this time. We have come all the way here, and you must have a few more drinks with us.”
The man pouring the wine was called Gordon Rogers, the second son of the Rogers family in Eqitin, who usually liked to gather and have fun.
It was his idea for them to gather in Julio this time.
Henry didn’t refuse. He just smiled, and drank the wine in front of him.
Seeing this, another man also went forward and filled his glass for him.
He was the only son of the Bowers family in Eqitin, and his name was Peter Bowers. He was quite close to Archie because his family was doing business too.
At this moment, he squinted while pouring the wine and said, “Henry, I heard Stephen say that you found a wife in Julio, is that true? How come you didn’t bring her with you tonight?”
The rest of the group was surprised when they heard this.
“What? Henry has married?”
“How is that possible? I don’t believe it!”
“Neither I. Henry has always been uninterested in women. He would only find a woman when pigs fly!”
“Hahaha… You guys are so outdated! And I have evidence. If you don’t believe me, ask Henry yourselves.”
After saying that, everyone looked at Henry curiously.
Henry smiled. He looked calm and gentler than usual.
He played with his wine glass with one hand and smiled faintly, “She’s busy today. I’ll bring her out to see you guys some other time.”
“What the hell? Really?”
“Gordon, pinch me and see if I’m dreaming or not.”
“Hiss! Be gentle! It hurts!”
“It’s all over. It’s such a dumpster fire!” The private room was abuzz, and everyone found it unbelievable.
After all, Henry was well-known for being ascetic all these years.
They had never seen any women appear around him despite the fact that he was almost thirty.
It was rare for him to encounter women even at work.
Even his secretaries and assistants were all men to avoid certain women with weird intentions.
At first, people thought he had a secret love, so he deliberately stayed away from these people.
Later on, after years of watching him, it turned out that he was not in love but just not having any interest in women.
Gradually, a rumour spread that although Mr. Han was handsome, tall, powerful and stunningly wealthy, he was, unfortunately, a gay man.
It was such a waste for him to have that gorgeous body that broke every girls’ heart in Ambario.
It was said that Mr. Han was a real man!
How could a real man like him go down on a girl? A real man had to fuck a man!
In short, this matter had been passed on as a joke to this day.
In addition, everyone knew how much he had spoiled his little test-tube brat, and they felt that Henry disliked women and even hated them so much that he had no hope of having a baby if not in such a way.
Now, Henry Han, who hated women, had actually had a wife?
