Chapter 1498


    Chapter 1498 A Familial Grudge


    Sally wore a conflicted expression on her face.


    Subsequently, she got up on the pretext of going to the washroom and made her escape.


    You wanted me to drink and take advantage of me when I’m inebriated? In your dreams! I’ll be back


    after twenty minutes. At that time… you probably wouldn’t even have the strength to stand up, much


    less pressure me to drink!


    In the room, Kyle took out the antidote he had prepared beforehand and ingested it.


    Then, he had someone exchange the bottle of red wine for an exact same one and started savoring it.


    Just after he drank a ss, he suddenly received a message. It was from his assistant who was


    keeping an eye on the old manor of the Maupay family.


    Sure enough, someone was living in the basement of the Maupay family’s old manor.


    There were even a few photos attached.


    Unexpectedly, the basement was decorated like a pce. Despite having no sunlight, it was luxurious


    beyond words. Hmm, it looks like the people living there are by no means ordinary people. Instead,


    they’re people who are ustomed to living in thep of luxury!


    Right then, someone in the photo snagged Kyle’s attention. It was a man who resembled Sally closely.


    Is this her younger or older brother? Regardless of whether it’s the former or thetter, the important


    thing is to capture him first!


    He immediately replied to the message, emphasizing to have it done without alerting the others.


    His assistant answered: Understood, Mr. Seet.


    Putting his phone aside, he poured himself another ss of wine. But before he could drink it, he


    spotted Sallying in and scrutinizing him intently.


    Kyle’s eyes narrowed a fraction. Knowing what she was looking for, he deliberately allowed the wine


    ss in his hand to slip before he feigned a headache and massaged his temples. The next instant, he


    slumped onto the table.


    Sally was stunned for a moment before she hastened over to check on him. She called out to him


    twice, but he didn’t even twitch. Seeing that, she shoved at him, but still, he remained motionless.


    Finally, she believed that the powder she added into the wine had taken effect, and Kyle had truly


    passed out cold.

    She promptly acted ording to her n and had a waiter help carry him to a suite.


    When the waiter had left, she locked the room door with a click.


    Then she hastily strode over to the bed and removed Kyle’s tailored suit. After doing that, she started


    unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time. At the sight of his muscr and mesmerizing chest, as well


    as his tantalizing abs bared before her, a hint of a blush stained her fair and delicate cheeks.


    Seized by a sudden impulse, she reached out to touch his bare skin. The moment her fingers made


    contact, her cheeks heated and grew bright red.


    If I don’t have any ulterior motive, will we make a good match?


    “Do you think I’m worthy of you? You’re the heir of Seet Group, while I’m Maupay’s daughter. And in


    truth, the Maupay family isn’t all that bad. Are we then considered well-matched in terms of our family


    backgrounds? You’re intelligent while I… Although I’m no devastating beauty, I’m still as pretty as a


    picture, no? Do we suit each other?”


    Kyle, who was feigning unconsciousness, was a touch mystified. Is she… really nning to marry me?


    But on the heels of that, Sally heaved a sigh. “But so what if we do? The grievances of the previous


    generation and a familial grudgey between us, so it’s of no use no matter howpatible we are…”


    A familial grudge and grievances of the previous generation? I once asked Daddy about that, but he


    had no idea what bad blood there was between him and the Maupay family. Could there be some


    misunderstanding?


    Subsequently, he heard Sally sighing once more.


    “Ah well, some things shouldn’t be dwelled upon. Thinking too much about it doesn’t do me any good


    but adds to my troubles instead. All I need to do right now is to attain my goal!”


    After saying that, she slipped her jacket off andy down beside Kyle. Unlocking her phone, she started


    snapping pictures as she adjusted the angles.


    Click, click, click!


    While she was engrossed in taking photos, she felt as though she was hit by something out of the blue.


    Following that, a wave of dizziness assailed her. She shook her head frantically, but she only managed


    to hold out for three seconds. Before she could even see what had happened, she groggily slipped into


    slumber.


    Beside her, Kyle sat up. Staring at her, he extended a long and slender finger and stroked her fair


    cheek lightly.
