Standing there, the woman’s gaze was clear and sharp, tinged with a discernible curiosity as she surveyed. the quartet.
It was well–known that beautiful women take pride in their appearance and often find themselves silently comparing their charms to those of others.
Upon noticing Aurelia, the expressions of the three sisters immediately turned sour,
Their mission for the day had been clear– they intended to secure a place in Matthew’s affections, and potentially his bed. Why then were there other women here? Their father had assured them he had even instructed them to dress their best. A cello and a harp were strategically placed just outside the door, their musical talents on standby, all se

Catching the sisters‘ glances, Aurelia offered a subtle, knowing smile.
The three sisters, in contrast, could not bring themselves to smile.
They sensed Matthew’s disinterest. Just moments before, they had reflected on how their families had raised them to be women of poise and grace. Ho
Clearly, it was all because of the woman before them.
Victor was visibly shocked, likely not anticipating another woman’s presence.
I–I had everything all planned out….
This… This…”
No one had expected a woman to be at Matthew’s side, as he was typically seen with his assistant, Gordon. Over the years, many women had vied for M

Her father had always appreciated her for her decorum and her ability to charm. She was also known for defusing tense situations gracefully.
Aurelia blinked, slightly taken aback by the turn of events.
Noticing Aurelia’s intrigued reaction, a mysterious spark ignited within Matthew. From between his thin lips, tinged with a hint of sterness, he commanded
Victor breathed a sigh of relief,
His daughter’s quick thinking may have just saved them from complete embarrassment.
He had invested heavily in this gambit, staking all on this single night. He had to ensure his daughter captivated Matthew. If Matthew became his son– in–law, his assets and status would remain secure. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurelia had initially intended to visit the restroom, but the unfolding drama had quelled her urgency, and she decided to stay.
As Aniela began to play the harp, the enchanting melodies filled the air, enhancing the dining experience. Aurelia found herself eating more than usual, d
However, midway through the meal and the musical performance, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her. It wasn’t the sort of lethargy that invited sleep, but rather a disorienting sensation accompanied by a strange feeling in her body.
For reasons she couldn’t explain, Matthew, who sat across from her, seemed excessively handsome and overwhelmingly charismatic.
Matthew’s gaze, deep and inscrutable, was fixed on Aurelia. It was as if a fire had been lit in their eyes.
Victor stood off to the side, his back drenched in sweat from the intense anxiety he felt.
Looks like the drug is beginning to take effect…
Despite the medicine’s influence, Aurelia’s presence was proving to be a nuisance. Moreover, Matthew’s attention was undeniably fixated on her, barely acknowledging his daughter despite her enchanting aura.
He had always been cautious about showcasing her, worried she might attract too much attention. His plan had been to marry her off to someone useful

Matthew hadn’t spared her a single glance.
Aniela’s eyes brimmed with a sense of injustice, turning red.
Aurelia, feeling increasingly out of sorts, decided it was time to leave. She needed to splash some water on her face in the restroom to clear her head.

As she stood up, a wave of familiarity washed over her. The vivid memory of being drugged by Melanie and Curtis before her reincarnation was still fresh in her mind.
The drug was potent, known to cloud one’s desires and rationality. While the sensations were not as intense as before her reincarnation, they were enough to stir an uncontrollable urge within her.
She took a deep breath, puzzled by why she was drugged just for coming out for a meal.
“I’m not feeling well, Matthew. Let’s go home.”
“Mm.” Matthew agreed, a subtle hint of restrained desire flickering in his eyes as he moved closer to Aurelia.
Just as Matthew took his first step toward leaving, Aniela interjected, “Mr. Quigley, I haven’t finished my performance yet. Could you please stay to listen
Victor looked toward his other two daughters. “Help this young lady upstairs to rest in the hotel.”
With everything at stake, he was prepared to go all out.
The two sisters approached to assist Aurelia.
With a swift motion, Aurelia pushed them away. “Go away!” I’d be a fool if I can’t figure out who’s behind the drugging.
“You’re not feeling well; it might be best if you rested.”
“Yeah, there’s a hotel upstairs. You should rest; perhaps you’ve caught a cold.”
Soon after, they arranged for a few men to approach her. Being so beautiful could easily disrupt their father’s plans. Their family could not afford such co
Aurelia pursed her lips, preparing to push them away again when Matthew suddenly intervened. He kicked Aniela away.
Accompanied by the young lady’s shriek, Victor’s belated attempts to intervene were futile. Matthew delivered a fierce punch, causing the man to cry out
“Dad!”
The scene quickly descended into chaos, and upon hearing the commotion, the restaurant staff hurriedly intervened.
Upon witnessing the scene before them, they were all stunned.
With a cold, authoritative tone, Matthew directed the manager, Take them to the police station and send these dishes for inspection. I need you to handle
The manager nodded, understanding the urgency. “Rest assured, Mr. Quigley, I will take care of everything exactly as you’ve instructed,” he affirmed.
