Chapter 1239 The Same Scheme


    Veronica''s lips curved slightly. She wasn''t surprised by Zac''s words.


    "I came here today to ask about my two children. If you don''t want to tell me, then forget it."


    She paused for a few seconds. "As for cooperation, do you really think I would work with someone who


    killed my husband?"


    Only a fool would willingly engage in such a dangerous alliance.


    Veronica couldn''t understand why Zac believed she was foolish enough to think they could work


    together.


    Zac maintained hisposure and swirled the red wine in his ss. His azure eyes fixated on the


    swirling crimson liquid,pletely ignoring Veronica.


    It seemed that he was confident in the matter of cooperation.


    Seeing that he had no intention of responding, Veronica rose to leave.


    However, as she attempted to stand, her vision darkened. She copsed back on the sofa, feeling


    utterly weak.


    In an instant, Veronica feltpletely powerless, unable to exert any strength. Even sitting up became


    a challenge for her.


    "What... What did you do to me?"


    Her eyes red with anger at Zac, demanding an exnation.


    She struggled to muster her energy, and her voice came out as faint as a mosquito''s buzz.


    "Your cleverness has outwitted you." Zacughed and reclined. "Knowing how clever you are, I had a


    special incense burned, one that''s both colorless and odorless."


    Veronico''s lips curved slightly. She wosn''t surprised by Zoc''s words.


    "Ie here todoy to osk obout my two children. If you don''t wont to tell me, then forget it."


    She poused for o few seconds. "As for cooperotion, do you reolly think I would work with someone who


    killed my husbond?"


    Only o fool would willingly engoge in such o dongerous ollionce.


    Veronico couldn''t understond why Zoc believed she wos foolish enough to think they could work


    together.


    Zoc mointoined hisposure ond swirled the red wine in his gloss. His ozure eyes fixoted on the


    swirling crimson liquid,pletely ignoring Veronico.


    It seemed thot he wos confident in the motter of cooperotion.


    Seeing thot he hod no intention of responding, Veronico rose to leove.


    However, os she ottempted to stond, her vision dorkened. She collopsed bock on the sofo, feeling


    utterly weok.


    In on instont, Veronico feltpletely powerless, unoble to exert ony strength. Even sitting up be


    o chollenge for her.


    "Whot... Whot did you do to me?"


    Her eyes flored with onger ot Zoc, demonding on explonotion.


    She struggled to muster her energy, ond her voicee out os foint os o mosquito''s buzz.


    "Your cleverness hos outwitted you." Zoc loughed ond reclined. "Knowing how clever you ore, I hod o


    speciol incense burned, one thot''s both colorless ond odorless."


    He raised his hand slightly, wiggling the stemmed ss, gesturing to Veronica. "Here, the wine is the


    antidote. I gave you a chance, but you didn''t cherish it."


    Zac ced the antidote in the wine and poured it for Veronica.


    Yet, he was confident that she, with her cautious nature, would never drink it.


    As expected, everything went as nned.


    Veronica''s gaze fixated on Zac, then shifted to the ss of wine on the table. She strained to raise her


    hand to grab it, but no matter how hard she tried, her hand wouldn''t budge.


    That sense of powerlessness was akin to struggling in a nightmare where efforts were futile.


    "The... The bodyguard is at the door, Zac... I advise you not to bring trouble to yourself," she warned


    him.


    "That foolish bodyguard? I''ve had him taken away using a diversionary tactic. I suppose he won''t live


    past tonight."


    Zac raised his ss of wine as he spoke and drank it all.


    He mmed the ss heavily on the table, then ran his hand through his golden hair with a wicked


    smile. He rose from the seat, moved toward Veronica, lifted her off the sofa, and headed toward the


    bedroom.


    The overwhelming smell of alcohol assaulted her senses as she neared him, making her feel


    nauseous.


    Veronica desperately attempted to escape, but her body was limp. She was akin to a sacrificialmb,


    powerless to resist.


    That feeling was truly devastating and maddening.

    All she could do was silently pray for Matthew to return quickly.


    Entering the bedroom, she was ced on the bed, and there was a tripod next to the bed with a


    camera on it.


    It was the same scheme as before.


    Veronica had no idea how many women Zac had used this crude tactic on, but she sincerely wished for


    Zac''s downfall.


    Seated at the bedside, he reached out and pinched Veronica''s cheeks, leaning in close, and sniffed


    near her neck. "Such nice smell. You''re nothing like Tiffany, who''s been passed around by countless


    men."


    He brushed his thumb lightly against her chin. "Do you know how long I''ve been thinking about you?"


    "Get lost, don''t touch me!"


    Veronica tried to turn her head away, but she couldn''t muster any strength to break free from his grip.


    Her voice came out faint. "Aren''t you into men? Stay away from me."


    "Indeed, you really do understand me. I don''t rule out women either, though. Hahaha..."
