    Chapter 19


    After a moment, he finally agreed with a pained expression, “Fine, let’s divorce peacefully and follow the normal process. Let’s consider this a favor I owe you, and do not disturb the olddy. Tomorrow morning, bring yourwyer to my office, and I’ll call for mywyer as well, and we can discuss it further then.”


    Lily Gray had no reason to doubt Austin Lucas who, after all, was just an illegitimate child from a branch of the Lucas family. He had only be its heir in thest six months.


    For his own future, he dared not y any tricks.


    “Alright, I’lle to you tomorrow.”


    After reaching an agreement, they separated. Austin Lucas returned to the crowd and chatted cheerfully with the guests he knew, while Lily Gray walked slowly to a rtively quiet corner to rest.


    On her way, a waiter came with a tray of red wine. Having resolved a matter in her heart, Lily Gray felt rxed, and casually took a ss of red wine in her hand.


    Leaning against a pir in the corner, she sipped the red wine while watching the guests in the dance floor with their beautiful clothes and hairstyles.


    Despite the lively scene, she felt somehow lonely.


    It was better to leave early, anyway. The birthday blessings had been offered and the agreement with Austin Lucas had been made. The olddy might go to bed early, so there would be little to sayter.


    With that thought, Lily Gray put down the wine ss and prepared to leave. But after taking only two steps, she suddenly felt her heart race uncontrobly fast.


    Hot, so hot.


    A strange heat rose from her lower abdomen, rushing straight up from her abdomen to her forehead.


    Her vision became blurry, her head was in chaos, and even her breathing became more intense.


    Had her contact lenses fallen out again?


    That was a thought in her mind, but soon after, she had only one idea left.


    Get out of here, back to the car.


    Lily Gray staggered toward the exit of the banquet hall, followed closely by a waiter who had already taken a bribe from Austin Lucas.


    The waiter who had served Lily Gray wine couldn’t help but feel nervous. The affair tonight was actually quite dangerous, and he wouldn’t have dared to do something like this in the Lucas family’s mansion had it not been for therge sum of money Mr. Lucas had given him.


    However, the world of rich people was indeed strange. Mr. Lucas had given him arge sum of money to spike his own wife’s wine with a potent aphrodisiac.


    Spiking the drink was one thing, and at first, he thought it was just a special sexual fetish of the rich. But Mr. Lucas not only asked him to spike the drink, but also demanded that he “take care of the drugged woman on the spot.”


    Heh heh, such a thing… just thinking about it was exciting.


    Although nervous, the waiter stuck close to Lily Gray, just waiting for her to reach the stairway so he could abduct her to the upstairs floor.


    There were many guest rooms upstairs, and all he needed to do was take this curvy woman up there.


    ording to the agreement with Mr. Lucas, Lily Gray would be his tonight. Once the deed was done, Mr. Lucas would personally bring someone to expose the affair the next morning. By then, he would just have to endure some hardships and y the role of an adulterer, and he would receive arge sum of money afterwards.


    Lily Gray walked forward in a daze, and as her pace increased, her headache and heart palpitations intensified.


    The evening dress had a long hem, and the dazed Lily Gray tripped over it with a moment of carelessness. Unable to support herself, she leaned forward uncontrobly.


    The expected pain did note, as her swaying body was caught by a pair of powerful arms.


    “Uh… help me…”


    Her body felt terrible, and although she wanted to call for help, the words that spilled from her mouth sounded more like a seductive invitation.


    The man lowered his head, coldly staring at the flushed woman in his arms..
