Chapter 533

Grayson and Sabrina appeared unexpectedly. They seemed surprised to see Paul in the corridor. Paul was attending to Joe's condition and only briefly glanced at them, failing to notice the panic on their faces. He had no time to spare. He hesitated for a moment, then heard Sabrina say, "I think the hotel attendants made a mistake."

Paul frowned. Her voice sounded familiar. Simultaneously, Grayson and Sabrina's expressions changed. Had their plan failed? The aphrodisiac, a newly developed drug from Murida, shouldn't have malfunctioned. It was supposed to disorient the user, causing amnesia.

An idea struck Paul. He turned to the Silvers, warning, "It better not have been you guys!" He recognized the woman as Annie. Gritting his teeth, Paul was furious at their audacity in scheming against his boss during a charity gala.

He stepped back, then kicked at the door, unconcerned about injuring Annie. He would kick it down if necessary. To the sound of Annie's screams, he forced the door open.

Joe was leaning against a table. Paul glared at him coldly. "Mr. Martin" He noticed Joe's coat on the floor. Although his shirt was unbuttoned, his pants were still on. Paul breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Annie, who was clutching a towel to herself. Her forehead and arms were bruised from her fall, making her appear like a victim.

Grayson and Sabrina exclaimed simultaneously, "Annie!" They were uncertain if their plan had succeeded. Sabrina immediately asked, "Annie, what's wrong? Why are you Mr. Martin, what are you both?"

"Mr. Martin, why would you and Annie be?" Grayson looked horrified. However, their surprised expressions froze as they looked at Joe. Unlike Annie's disheveled appearance, Joe was fully clothed. The failure of their scheme was evident.

"Get them out of here," Joe ordered icily.

Paul roared, "You will pay for this! Get out!" The Silvers seemed dazed and didn't move. Paul stepped forward and repeated, "Get out!"

Annie recovered, her face drained of color. Although she realized she'd ruined their plan, her mind was blank. Grayson, reluctant to accept defeat—he'd meticulously planned this—said, "Mr. Martin, you look unwell. You might need Annie. Are you sure you don't want her to stay?"

"Yes," Sabrina added, "You've known each other since childhood. It would save you trouble if Annie stays to help."

Paul was speechless. "Mr. Silver, do you not understand me?" He saw Joe was in terrible shape. "Go and think about how you'll grovel for his forgiveness!"

Under Paul's forceful command, they left.

After they left, Paul immediately closed the door. Joe had rushed into the bathroom. While listening to the running water, Paul called Skylar again. "Where are you, Ms. Sullivan?" His voice was calmer, though still tinged with panic. Skylar glanced at the signs and replied, "I'll be there in a few minutes."
