Chapter 296
"Got it, Dad," Sebastian said. "It is already on the agenda, isn''t it? It is going to happen soon."
"The sooner the better!" Philip kept bobbing his head up and down in agreement.
He couldn''t help thinking how he had led a life with Lady Luck by his side.
Just when he had thought that he would never be blessed with a child in his lifetime, his wife suddenly
got pregnant with a baby boy who had lived up to their family name since his young age. Sebastian
was exactly the type of boy people would oftenpare their sons to. Not only was he capable and
had good character, he was also pleasing on the eyes. Philip had never needed to worry about
Sebastian.
Now that his health wasn''t the best due to old age, he was always worried that his son would be alone
with no one beside him after Philip passed on. All of a sudden, he had two grandsons pop out of
nowhere!
His grandsons were even smarter and more adorable than his son was back in the day. On top of that,
a gentle, beautiful and reasonable woman came as a package with his grandsons.
Sebastian didn''t even have to do much, and he already had a wife and kids.
Just what kind of extreme good luck was Philip blessed with?
He could even go to his grave with a smile even if he were to pass away immediately after his son and
Madeline had their wedding, and had finally formed their own little family.
"Alright, Dad. I will make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible," Sebastian assured him
before he suddenly brought up another issue. "Dad, other than the wedding talk, I have something else
to tell you."
"Go on!" Philip chortled.
"Dad, Ann drugged mest night."
"What?" The smile on Philip''s face instantly disappeared when he heard that.
"It is exactly as I said," Sebastian revealed the truth. "I was working overtime in thepanyst night
when Mrs. Emma suddenly brought Ann to mypany. She said that she was passing by and wanted
to drop by to see me. They brought me ate-night snack, and they had a cup of coffee prepared for
me. Ann spiked the coffee."
"What kind of drug was it? Does it affect your body?" Philip''s eyes quickly darted from Sebastian''s
head to his toes.
Although he knew that Sebastian should be fine since he was sitting next to him without a problem, the
older man still couldn''t stop worrying about his only son.
His wife had given her all into giving birth to their bloodline.
He couldn''t bear the thought of his son having even the smallest and mildest of idents!
"Dad, don''t worry. It was not poison. She gave me an aphrodisiac. It was unpleasant after I took it, but I
was fine after it was cured."
"Aphrodisiac?" Philip red at Ann and roared, "Are you crazy? Sebastian has a wife and children! You
actually gave him an aphrodisiac?"
Ann''s face quickly turned pale at that. "Mr. Philip, I am also a victim of someone''s scheme! I didn''t know
that the coffee was drugged. I don''t know who did it. It has nothing to do with me..."
Ann and Emma had already guessed that Sebastian would tell Philip aboutst night when Philip
suddenly invited them over out of nowhere.
With that in mind, they had discussed and decided beforehand that they would not admit to their crimes
no matter what.
They would insist that they didn''t know who the culprit was, and that they weren''t the ones who did it no
matter what Philip and Sebastion might say. They would tell the men that they didn''t know anything,
and the incident had nothing to do with them.
As expected, Sebastian really told on them to Philip.
Now that she was panicking and afraid, Ann had no choice but to use the method she and her mother
had agreed on.
"You were not the one who put in the aphrodisiac? Do I look like a fool to you?" Philip heavily mmed
the coffee table. "There is no one who doesn''t know what you think of Sebastian. Has he not made
himself clear? It is because I kept educating him to treat you nicer for your mother''s sake that he is
respecting my wishes and not treating you like aplete stranger. How dare you drug him?! Y-You
little sh*t! "
Philip proceeded to grab the ss in front of him and angrily threw it at her feet.
Ann shuddered in fright and her tears fell immediately. "Mr. Philip, you have to believe me. I don''t know
who framed me. I am telling the truth. I really didn''t know that something was mixed in with the coffee. I
have been framed…"
"Stop making excuses." It was Sebastian who spoke this time. As he looked at her, he spat, "I have
found the person who sold you the drug. Do you want to see him?"
Subconsciously, she yelled, "That is impossible!"
Ann had bought the drug a few months ago. The only reason she hadn''t drugged Sebastian was
because her mother was not in Dusktown then, and she had no one to create the opportunity for her.
She had practically camouged herself when she went and got the drug. She couldn''t even recognize
herself in the mirror. Moreover, she had bought it at awless underground clubhouse. She was sure
that she did note across anyone she knew when she bought the drug too. And even if she did, she
had disguised herself to the point her own mother wouldn''t have recognized her. It was impossible that
Sebastian had found the person who sold her the drug!
Hearing her outburst, Sebastian sneered and took out his phone to dial Quinton''s number. "Bring him
in," he barked as soon as the call got through.
"Yes, sir!" Quinton''s dutiful response came from the other end of the line.
It didn''t take long after the phone call before a knock came from the door of the living room. Quinton
and Wem then came in while dragging a young man in with them.
Ann couldn''t hide the shock on her face when her eyes fell on the man''s face.
It actually was the man who sold her the drug a few months back!

How is this possible?
How did Sebastian find him after so many months?
I can''t believe this!
As Wem held the man down, Quinton tapped on the screen of his phone a few times, and a
surveince video was projected on the white wall of the living room.
It was an edited clip that showed scenes of Ann going out after disguising herself, her entering the
clubhouse to trade with the man who was currently being subdued by Wem, and another scene of
her returning to her residence after she got the drug.
She was cautious enough to not drive her own car. After leaving her residence, she walked a distance
before she got a taxi.
However, the taxi brought her back to her own residence.
The surveince video specially gave a close-up of the house number of the ce she stayed at. The
evidence was so conclusive that she had no way of denying it.
Ann was a pale, shivering mess by the end of the video.
With tears in her eyes, she questioned Sebastian in a shaky voice, "You got someone to watch me?"
"Turns out I was right to do so, yeah?" he asked in return, his cold eyes on her.
"But why?" Ann''s pale face was covered in tears. "Why did you drink that cup of coffeest night when
you already know that I bought that kind of drug?"
"It is because I trust Mrs. Emma too much!" His eyes shifted to Emma, and the corners of his mouth
curled into a half smile. "How could Mrs. Emma, who loves me so much, ever allow her daughter to
feed me such a harmful drug? It is because you came to mypany with Mrs. Emma, and I trust her
too much that I let down my guard, and you sessfully carried out your scheme."
Emma''s heart instantly jolted at that. Her hand under the coffee table had clenched into a fist, but her
face remained calm as her gentle and elegant smile stayed stered on it. "I don''t have the faintest
idea about this whole thing..."
Even though she imed that she was a clever woman, she was starting to get a little flustered at this
moment.
It was obvious that Sebastian was suspecting her.
He wouldn''t have said the words he said otherwise.
His attitude toward her was the most important decisive factor to whether or not she could live the rest
of her life as carefree and unrestrained as before.
She had decided she couldn''t let him drift apart from her because of his suspicions!
