Chapter 236 Own Goal


    A clinking sound rang out as the cups collided.


    "Okay. Cheers to reconciliation." J was sneering on the inside, but she clinked cups with her.


    She smiled at Jocelyn with clear eyes, as if she was oblivious to everything.


    Jocelyn fixed her eyes on her adoptive sister and took a few sips of her coffee. Several ideas on


    what she would do next swirled in her conniving mind.


    "Oh, you are almost done drinking your coffee." When she saw that J had almost finished up


    her cup of coffee without suspecting anything, her smile became brighter.


    "Well, I can''t help it. I like the coffee here. No other cafe makes such a perfect cup of coffee." She


    supported her jaw with one hand, and circled her index finger on the brim of the cup while looking


    into the night through the window.


    At this moment, a tall and familiar figure wearing a windbreaker quietly passed by the window and


    blended into the dim street. This figure had a ck cap on. Although his face was covered, his tall


    figure was eye-catching under the streetlights.


    J was relieved to see him. That tall figure was Ethan.


    Ethan took nces at the two women who were sitting beside one of the windows of the cafe. He


    stood beside the newsstand across the street. Afterward, he took out today''s newspaper and leafed


    through it.


    "What did you see, J? Why are you smiling from ear to ear all of a sudden?" Jocelyn tapped the


    table with her fingers to call J''s attention. She was waiting for the drug to begin to take effect on


    her.


    The tap on the table made Je to her senses at once. She pursed her lips to hide her joy


    and decided to change the topic. Waving her hand, she said, "It''s nothing. I''ve epted your


    apology and was done with the coffee. Do you have anything else to say to me?"


    ''You want to leave now? Not so fast, bitch. I finally got you to drink the coffee. How can I let you


    leave just like that? You have to pass out in my presence. And then, I will take my revenge!'' Jocelyn


    thought devilishly.


    "Oh, J. I haven''t seen you for a long time. I want to catch up with you. We can talk just like all


    sisters do." Jocelyn called her name dearly as if they were really close. She even brushed the back


    of J''s hand.


    The drug was supposed to take effect in a few minutes. Now, she was only stalling time.


    The fake smile on J''s face vanished at this time. Instead of replying, she folded her arms over


    her chest and stared straight at her foster sister.


    ''Gosh! Where did her smile go? Why is she staring at me like that?'' Jocelyn felt ufortable


    under J''s stare. She swallowed hard and averted her gaze without moving an inch.


    Both women were still silent when Jocelyn began to feel dizzy a few minutester. She caught


    herself dozing off and rubbed her eyes incessantly. It was at this moment she finally realized that


    something was wrong. She looked at the quiet woman in front of her.


    Noticing the faint smirk at the corners of J''s lips, her face turned pale. It dawned on her that she


    had been tricked. J had made her fall into her own trap.


    "J! How dare you..."


    Jocelyn wanted to stand up and curse her out. But she was so weak that she passed out on the


    table before she could finish speaking.


    Without wasting time, J moved her seat next to her and exchanged their coats and bags. She


    then put on Jocelyn''s hat and sunsses.


    When Ethan saw that Jocelyn had passed out, he pushed the ss door open and walked in


    briskly. J signaled him to act with her.


    A waiter noticed that Jocelyn was lying on the table and seemed unconscious. He quickly walked


    over to check on her.


    "Are you okay, Miss?"


    "There''s no cause for rm. My friend justined of a stomach ache. We are about to take her


    to the hospital." J apanied this exnation with a natural smile. She then held one of


    Jocelyn''s arms and asked Ethan to help her with the other.


    The waiter swallowed her exnation hook, line, and sinker. He nodded understandably and didn''t


    ask any more questions. He made way for them.

    As they walked out of the cafe, J began to rack her brain on what to do next, but she couldn''t


    come up with anything. All of a sudden, a ck minibus came towards them at high speed from


    down the road.
