Chapter 85: Being Tricked Again

Luna was startled. She spun around and slapped the person repeatedly until they retreated. Seeing it was Victor, she quickly assessed her surroundings, then grabbed him by the collar, her expression fierce. "You're resorting to such despicable means? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Victor's face flushed, his breathing heavy. His eyes burned with a primitive desire.

Disgusted, Luna forcefully kicked his leg. Wearing high heels, her kick made Victor groan as he fell to the ground. "Who do you think you are, trying this on me? While I'm tearing people apart in the business world, you're still clueless!" She stepped on his chest, her face contorted with anger.

He struggled for breath. The leg pain momentarily restored some sanity. He croaked weakly, "Today… the water… there's an issue… Don't worry about me…"

Her anger subsiding, she lowered her gaze.

"Miss Quinn… Check on Miss Quinn…" he whispered.

Realizing something was wrong, Abigail returned to her room and took a cold shower, but it was no use. Once the aphrodisiac took effect, she collapsed in the bathroom, powerless. With great difficulty, she reached the sink and picked up her phone.

She struggled to unlock it several times before succeeding. Her consciousness faded as overwhelming desire consumed her; she didn't even know if she'd successfully called Luna.

"Is there something wrong?" Sean's voice remained calm.

Abigail heard someone speaking but couldn't tell if it was Luna. She bit her lip, sitting on the floor, struggling to breathe. "I-Is this Luna?"

Sensing something was wrong, Sean's expression turned cold. "What's wrong with you?"

Her head buzzed. "I think… I'm very sick. Please come back… I'm scared… I have no strength…"

His expression darkened. "I'll be right there. Don't hang up."

He hung up and quickly returned to her place, worried. Abigail was utterly weak, her body feeling torn apart.

Less than two minutes later, he opened the bathroom door to find her soaked on the floor, her clothes clinging to her body.

"What did you eat?" Sean asked, lifting her.

Abigail smelled his scent and reached for his tie, tears in her eyes. "I feel terrible… Luna."

He held her pale hand, his gaze hardening. "I'm not Luna. I'm Sean."

Struggling to focus, Abigail became anxious. Her voice trembled. "Sean, I feel uncomfortable… Please help me."

Knowing her condition, Sean kissed her to ease her discomfort. The incessant knocking at the door went unheeded.

Luna was about to force the door open when Cameron stopped her. "You…" she began, then recognized Cameron and swallowed her retort.

"Miss Smith, Mr. Graham is inside," Cameron said politely.

Relieved, Luna headed for the elevator, calling Kevin. "The drinks she and Victor had were spiked. Find out who did this!"

Meanwhile, inside, Abigail was held by Sean in the rain, weak and clinging to him. He noted the potency of the drug; she was far more proactive and passionate than usual.

They moved from the bathroom to the bed, Sean carefully supporting her weakened legs. Time passed slowly.

Abigail awoke to the sound of Sean's phone call. Dazed, she felt pain with every movement.

"You can't investigate this thoroughly. The program can also be stopped indefinitely," Sean said angrily.

She saw him seated beside her, realizing she was in her room and he was asleep on her bed. He had numerous scratches and clear kiss marks on his neck.

Abigail closed her eyes, vague memories flashing through her mind. She wanted to disappear.
