Chapter 551


    ?


    Thinking Hera had returned, Bernard said hoarsely, "I feel terrible, sweetie."


    His gentle voice held a hint of yfulness, making him sound nothing like his usual cold self. Hearing that made Lorna''s heart race involuntarily. She never knew he had such a gentle side to him.


    "Mr. Killian." Lorna held a ss of water as she cautiously approached him.


    Realizing that it wasn''t Hera, Bernard red at Lorna before coldly uttering, "Get lost!"


    Lorna flinched slightly at his sudden change of attitude, but she did not back down. "Mr. Killian, I noticed how ufortable you were, so I poured a ss of warm water for you. Drink it, and you''ll feel better."


    While speaking, she sat on the couch next to Bernard and deliberately leaned closer to him, trying to offer him water.


    "Get lost! Don''t make me say it for a third time." Bernard pulled out a gun from behind him and coldly pointed it at her forehead.


    Lorna stared at the dark muzzle of the gun, her heart thumping madly. She gulped in fear and dared not to move anymore. She knew that he would really pull the trigger if she continued getting closer to him.


    Bernard was more terrifying than a cold-blooded animal. If Lorna had known he carried a gun, she wouldn''t have riskeding here.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Killian. I only wanted to help take care of you because you looked like you were in a lot of pain. Please don''t get the wrong idea. If it really bothers you, I''ll go out now."


    Lorna looked pitiful as she backed away in terror. She was genuinely scared that he would really shoot her if she identally provoked him. "Hold on." As she reached the door, she suddenly heard Bernard''s somewhat hoarse voice behind her.


    Lorna stopped and immediately turned around to see that Bernard had already put the gun down. That made her panic turn into glee. Had he changed his mind?


    "Did you add some kind of drug to the water?" Bernard nced at the ss in her hand


    Lorna paled at his question and quickly looked away in terror. She wondered how he knew about that.


    She had used a colorless and


    tasteless aphrodisiac that was


    highly effective. She even


    intentionally waited for Hera to leave so that she could enter the room and convince Bernard to drink it. Content belongs to

    Once they had sex, it would turn into a huge scandal when Hera returned. Everyone would know that Lorna and Bernard had slept together. With so many people around, he would have no choice but to take

    After all, that was the same tactic Fiona had used to marry Connor. Thus, Lorna believed that using the same method would work for her as well. However, she was terrified upon seeing the ck gun in Bernard''s hand. She wasn''t sure about the others, but she knew that Bernard was capable of killing.


    It was rumored that he had even injured and crippled several maids at the Killian residence. They eventually died in their suffering.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    If Bernard learned of Lorna''s motives and the aphrodisiac she had added to the water, she wondered if she would even be able to walk out of this room.


    "No... No... What drug?"


    Before she could finish speaking, Bernard interrupted her. He could tell from her expression that something was wrong with the ss of water.


    Lorna bit her lip hard, not daring to say a word. She timidly stared at Bernard. Although he was extremely handsome, he currently seemed as terrifying as a demon.


    Bernard impatiently raised his gun and ordered solemnly, "Tell me!"


    She trembled all over as she stuttered, "I-It''s an aphrodisiac." Usually, a woman would give an aphrodisiac to a man to sleep with him.


    Bernard''s gaze turned colder as he gestured to the ss on the coffee table with his gun. "Pour out half and drink it."
