    Suddenly, <b>a </b>figure appeared in front of Skr. It cast a shadow over her.


    Then, Joe kissed her furiously. Skr dropped her bag


    “You…“.


    When Skr got the opportunity to take a breath, she reminded him, “Wake up. I’m not who you think I am. I’m not Annie. Do you know that


    Skr moved hastily. It was as though he’d lost all semnce of rationality. He sealed Skr’s lips with his.


    Skr didn’t want to be anyone’s recement. She raised her hand to p him. However, Joe put her hand around his back.


    She’d forgotten that Joe was professionally trained. He was different from the men that she’d met. She knew how to fight. However, he was even better at it.


    The physical differences between men and women were painfully evident at that moment.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    On the way back home, none of the Silvers said a word


    The driver could feel the heavy atmosphere. He stared straight ahead throughout the ride and drove carefully.


    They were silent because they knew that great trouble was heading their way. The opportunity they’d obtained after a whole night of meticulous nning had gone down the drain.


    Grayson was pale. His pursed lips indicated that he was on the verge of a breakdown.


    “How did Joe realize it? Didn’t they say that the aphrodisiac would make him disorientated? Even if he didn’t like Annie, he should have thought she was the one he loved. How did they…”


    Sabrina collected herself. With horror brewing within her, she asked, “Annie, what happened? You… Were you still thinking of Steven? Did you fail to please Joe and piss him off as a result?”


    Joe stood atop the pyramid of power in Jipsburg. Few people dared to upset him.


    This time… It looked as though the Silvers were finished.


    Annie was as pale as a ghost. Everything that happened in the hotel felt like a p to her face. It mocked her for overestimating herself.


    Even if Joe had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, he still felt nothing for her. The second he touched her, he shoved her off him immediately. It was as though she was a piece of trash he resented. Intense embarrassment washed over her.


    “I did nothing. Joe’s self–control was too strong. The aphrodisiac couldn’t influence him. He loves Skr. When he saw me, he thought I was Skr at first. However, he recognized me for who I was shortly after. Then, Paul and the both of you appeared,” Annie exined with a smile.


    Sabrina was surprised. She asked, “How important is Skr to Joe? Was she so important that Joe thought of her even then? I’ve seen pictures of Skr. She is pretty but otherwise iparable to you in every other aspect. What were Joe and Gloria thinking?


    “Mom, this is not what we should bo

    Grayson bit his lip harder. He said, “We’ve <b>underestimated </b>Joe. This wouldn’t have happened if we’d used arger dose<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    They were afraid of unexpected developments, so they merely used a regr dose. This was their

    “Annie is right. Tomorrow, Joe will be hunting us down. We don’t have much choice left.”


    Sabrina was terrified. She asked, “T–Then, what should we be doing next? None of you will give this up. We’re in a horrible situation already. What can Joe do to us?<b>”</b>


    “All the wealthy families in Jipsburg know how Joe treats his enemies. We do too, don’t we?” Annie chuckled bitterly.


    Grayson suddenly had an idea. He suggested, “Annie, your boyfriend is Skr’s brother, right? Skr is probably the only one who can save us. Talk to Steven and make him pressure Skr into helping us!! give my blessing to your rtionship right now!”
