Chapter 187
Bethany asked, “What way?!”
Rosalind looked around to make sure there was no one and no cameras before she took out two vials of transparent liquid that
Shannon had prepared for her from her handbag.
“What is this?” Bethany looked confused.
“It’s an aphrodisiac that makes men lose control of themselves after drinking it. It’s most suitable for a whore like Anna who likes
to seduce men.” Rosalind’s eyes flickered with evil excitement.
“What?!”
Bethany gasped loudly, but Rosalind stopped her. “Shh! Keep your voice down!”
“You... You want to drug Anna? At Grandpa’s birthday banquet?!”
Rosalind leaned next to Bethany’s ear and said with a sinister smile, “Imagine how thrilling it would be if the guests were to find
out that Anna and Mr. Thompson had sex here tonight during the party. When the time comes, her carefully crafted image will
completely collapse. Justin and Grandpa will hate her for embarrassing them. The Thompson family will also dislike her for being
improper. Don’t you hate how close she is to Mr. Hoffman? If Mr. Hoffman saw Anna and Asher hooking up, do you think he
would still want a slut like her?” Bethany’s mouth gaped open, and she could not make a sound.
She hated Anna and had always bullied her openly. She had never used such a dirty trick. “If we’re discovered, it’ll be over!”
“There are so many people here, so we won’t be discovered. Even if they suspected us, they have no evidence to say it was us.
If you’re afraid, send someone else to put it in Asher’s cup. I’ll get Anna. If the two of us work together, it’ll go smoothly.”
Rosalind said coldly, “You saw what happened today. Mr. Hoffman only has eyes for Anna and doesn’t care about you.”
Bethany felt her heart ache and a huge sense of shame.
“If
you don’t get rid of Anna, the obstacle, you will never end up with Mr. Hoffman. Sitting and waiting will only make you the
laughingstock in the end. Think about it, Bethany!”
Rosalind was a quick learner. She was even quoting Shannon to brainwash Bethany.
Bethany nodded bitterly.
The guests remained silent during the dreamy performance of “O mio babbino caro”.
Ryan looked at the beauty on the stage in a daze. He felt like he had lost his soul. His gaze was intensely adoring.
Justin stared at Anna’s familiar face for a moment, feeling estranged from her. The tea he drank felt like a strong liquor that
irritated his throat.
“What a heartfelt and emotional plea.” Asher looked at his gorgeous sister on the stage and could not help but sigh.
Justin’s heart rippled when he heard this.
At this moment, there was a commotion coming from the audience.
Bella raised her eyes, puzzled.
Suddenly, she felt like she had been shot in the chest. Her body shook in fright.
She saw Wyatt, accompanied by his bodyguards and secretary, walking confidently through the crowd toward the main table. He
looked so handsome and majestic.
“Is that Wyatt Thompson, Chairman of KS Group?!”
“Is Chairman Thompson here to attend Old Master Nigel’s birthday party?! OMG! I’ve lived too long to see everything!”
“Does this mean that the century-old grudge between the Thompson family and the Salvador family has been resolved? This
news will definitely make the front page headlines!”
Everyone whispered in shock.
Bella’s voice shook uncontrollably, and her heart thumped against her rib cage.
Why was Wyatt here?
How was it possible for Wyatt to come over and celebrate Nigel’s birthday?! Who invited this deity to the party?!
