Chapter 1018
Lysander wasn''t feeling quite right. His handsome face was flushed with a wine-red hue, and the air
around him carried a tipsy yet chilly pressure. His brows furrowed, a gesture of suppressed difort,
as he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to ease the unpleasant sensation.
Across from him, Joshua also looked worse for wear. He was shaking his head as he took in ragged
breaths.
Susan, having only indulged in a single drink, was still rtively steady, though an abnormal flush had
crept onto her cheeks.
She rose to her feet, the ambition in her heart nearly impossible to conceal. She rubbed her hands
together, looked at Lysander with a smile, and said, “Mr. Sinir, Mr. Joshua, you both seem a bit tipsy.
Lucky for us, we''re at the Draven Group Hotel. How about booking a room and resting up? I should be
heading home myself. Thank you both for being so gracious today.”
Thssa watched Susan with a restrained gaze. Others might not pick up on it, but she knew perfectly
well that Susan''s mention of leaving was deliberately intended for Lysander to hear. She wanted to
show that she had no intention to him to avoid his suspicion.
No one paid Susan any mind, making her seem like she was talking to herself. But she didn''t mind in
the slightest; after all, she had achieved half of her goal.
All she needed now was to patiently wait for Thssa to summon her to Lysander''s room.
She wasn''t worried about Thssa being disobedient, unless she wanted to risk her mother''s dignity.
After delivering her piece, Susan walked to the door and shot Thssa a venomous nce as she
passed by, the meaning clear as day.
Thssa''s heart tightened. She red back at Susan, furious but voiceless.
Seeing Thssa''s helpless expression, Susan''s lips curled into a smug smile. She turned away and
exited the private room.
As Susan disappeared, Thssa came back to her senses and stood beside Lysander, saying, “Mr.
Sinir, I have something to attend to... I should leave too.”
She hoped to sneak out while Lysander was preupied and Susan was not here. She would sneak
home and have Atticus to delete the video, before Susan found out that she was gone.
Then, Susan couldn''t threaten Thssa anymore.
But if she left without saying a word to Lysander, he would surely look for her, and things could spiral
out of control.
Hearing her voice, Lysander rxed his grip on his brow. His deep and brooding eyes glossing over
with a drunken sheen.
In a low and husky voice, he asked, “Where to?”
“Home.” Thssa replied, meeting Lysander''s desireden gaze. Her breathing slowed and her heart
raced.
Just one look from him could unsettle her so.

“Together.” Lysander said, rising to his feet. In that second, a wave of heat rushed from his core to his
head, his brain swelling with the intense warmth.
He stumbled slightly, his brows knitting together.
“I should head back too.” Joshua said as he stood up, the difort making his body sway.
“Mr. Joshua.” Richard quickly steadied him, “You''ve had quite a bit to drink. For safety''s sake, why don''t
you stay at the hotel tonight? I''ll escort you to your room.”
Richard was the host of the evening''s gathering, and he had to take care of his guests. If something
happened to them after attending his event, he would be responsible.
Both Joshua and Lysander were heavily intoxicated and in need of immediate rest. It would be unwise
for them to travel in such a state.
Then, Richard turned to Thssa and said, “I''ll take Mr. Joshua to his room. Could you please help
Lysander get to his? They''re on the same floor.”
Thssa''s breath hitched as she nced at Lysander. He was definitely not in good shape, and if he
insisted on going home with her, his presence would prevent her from asking Atticus to delete the video
right away.
If she missed this critical time, and when Susan realized Lysander wasn''t at the hotel, she would text
Bruce to release the video to the public.
