Chapter 188
Irene, relieved that Aaron seemed to have let bygones be bygones, raised her glass to drink with him. After only two drinks, her head began to spin. Across from her, Dustin also appeared disoriented; he swayed slightly in his seat. Seeing this, Aaron and Phoebe dropped their pretense.
"Irene, you idiot! Did you really think I wanted to make peace? As if you're even worthy!" Phoebe sneered.
"What… what are you saying?" Irene's heart sank with unease.
"You walked right into this—no hesitation, no questions. Honestly, you're pathetic. Serves you right to lose your virginity tonight!" Phoebe taunted viciously, malice glinting in her eyes. "Aaron, what are you waiting for? Haven't you wanted her for years? Here's your chance to finally get what you want!" she spat.
Aaron stood and ripped off his shirt. His gaze was cold and fixed on Irene's vulnerable figure. "Four years, Irene. Four years of chasing you, only to be looked down on? Who do you think you are? Too good for me? I'm from the Burke family! Do you know how many women would kill for my attention? Tonight, I'm going to break you, ruin you, and show you exactly how far you can fall! Bitch!" he roared, barely containing his rage. "You know what's in that drink? The strongest roofie money can buy. Even the purest goddess will become a whore. I'll record every shameful moment and share it with the whole campus. I want everyone at Lannopolis Elite College to see what a slut you are!" Aaron erupted into cruel, maniacal laughter.
Irene tried to stand, but her limbs felt like lead. Worse, an unbearable heat surged through her, fogging her mind and setting her body aflame.
"Dustin…" she whispered weakly.
Phoebe snorted disdainfully. "Still counting on him? That drink he had? It's five times your dose—a different drug entirely. It will kill him!"
Chapter 189 (Presumably, this is what should follow Chapter 188)
Aaron sneered. "I've already called the Crimson Gang. They'll deal with him soon enough. You'll never see him again."
Irene's face paled with fear. The Crimson Gang was a notorious underground gang in Lannopolis, infamous for their brutality and crimes. They stopped at nothing, far more vicious than any other gang. She knew Dustin was strong, but even he couldn't fight back under the influence of such drugs. Her fear wasn't for herself anymore; if anything happened to Dustin, it would destroy the West family.
"Dustin…" she whimpered, tears welling in her eyes.
"Bitch! You're still crying over him? Even now?" Aaron snarled, his face contorted with fury. "Fine! I'll make you put on the wildest show of your slutty life right in front of him! Let's see if he still wants you after this! And when I'm done, I'll let the Crimson Gang have their turn too. Dozens of them. By the time they're done, you'll be nothing but a broken toy, Irene!"
Tears streamed down Irene's face. She had no strength left to fight, no hope of escape. She could only curse her naiveté and trust, and the fact that she had dragged Dustin into this nightmare. Despair consumed her.
"Here I come!" Aaron pulled off the rest of his clothes, seemingly unfazed by Phoebe's presence. Just as his hand reached for Irene, a chilling voice cut through the air.
"Touch her, and I'll make sure the Burke family ends with you."
