After Marico Kingsley finished his second song, Leo felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Coral. Why would she be calling him now? Was she having computer trouble, or was it a plumbing issue this time? Either way, he needed to answer the call from the beautiful CEO.
Leo pressed the answer button. “Leo, I’m… I’m so hot, please… come quickly,” Coral said, her tone sounding completely off despite the loud music and cheers from the audience.
Leo immediately stood up from his seat. “Miss Wilde, what’s happening?”
“I’m so hot and uncomfortable…”
“Where are you?” Leo asked, growing more anxious.
“Azure Sky Hotel, fifth floor, the Violet Pavilion… in a private room…”
Before Coral could finish her sentence, Leo heard a loud thud through the phone. It seemed that Coral’s phone had dropped to the ground.
Azure Sky Hotel wasn’t too far from their current location, and Leo couldn’t afford to waste any time. Without hesitation, he turned and made his way towards the exit of the sports arena.
Azure Sky Hotel, Violet Pavilion.
Manager Ted patted his beer belly, wearing a lecherous smile on his face as he addressed Antony, “Mr. William, all the drunken folks in the private room have been removed. I won’t disturb you here.”
Antony waved him away.
Manager Ted hurriedly left the private room and sought out a server. He wanted to know which room Coral had taken her secretary to.
Antony’s gaze shifted in the direction of the bathroom. The fact that he was now alone with Coral in the private room increased the pace of his heartbeat. “Coral, I’ve pursued you for so long, and you haven’t agreed. After tonight, you’ll see if you can continue to act aloof in front of me,” Antony muttered as he loosened his tie slightly. He was feeling increasingly excited and walked towards the bathroom.
Outside the bathroom door, Antony knocked and said, “Miss Wilde, are you feeling better? Can you come out? I’m about to burst.”
In the bathroom, Coral continued to splash cold water on her face, trying to cool down her increasingly heated body. Her urge to remove her clothes was getting stronger.
She realized that something was seriously wrong with the drink she had earlier. Most likely, Antony had tampered with it.
Antony’s voice came through the door, “Miss Wilde, we’re all adults here. You don’t have to force yourself. I know exactly what you need right now, and I can help you.” His tone was filled with sinister intent, and the evil within him began to surge.
In this moment, Coral was sure that Antony had drugged her drink.
“Antony, you bastard! My grandfather will never forgive you for this!” Coral’s face was now as red as a rose in full bloom, and her body was weakening rapidly.
Antony’s face briefly showed a hint of change when she mentioned her grandfather, but his sinister desires quickly overcame his rationality.
In Antony’s mind, Coral was no longer the pure and untouched woman she once seemed to be, given that she was living with her company’s Leo.
The truth was, Antony had never invested so much effort into pursuing a woman before, and Coral had practically become an obsession for him. Even if he couldn’t win her heart, he was determined to have her physically.
In Antony’s eyes, there was no woman he couldn’t conquer.
“Coral, there’s no need to resist any longer. I’ll count to three, and if you don’t open the door, don’t blame me for breaking in,” Antony threatened, his face marked with evil intent.
In the bathroom, Coral couldn’t speak because she was in so much distress that words wouldn’t come out.
“One!”
“Two!”
Antony began to count, and the gleam in his eyes grew more intense.
“Three!”
With that, Antony’s face darkened, and he viciously kicked the bathroom door.
Bang!
Bang!
Two different sounds of doors being kicked echoed at the same moment.
As Antony kicked the bathroom door open, the door to the Violet Pavilion private room was also kicked open by someone.
Antony turned around and was shocked when he saw Leo. “It’s you!”
Outside the door, Leo appeared like the angel of death in front of Antony. Antony’s bodyguards were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
Then, Antony felt his world spin, and a sharp pain struck his chest.
Thud!
He was thrown out of the bathroom door and crashed heavily against the wall. Several of his ribs snapped, and he coughed up blood.
Leo paid no attention to Antony. He rushed into the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, Coral was sitting on the floor, hugging her knees, her face alarmingly red, and her clothes disheveled.
Realizing that someone was coming in, Coral attempted to move away, but her body was too weak to respond.
“Miss Wilde, it’s me,” Leo said as he reached down to help her up. She sighed in relief upon recognizing Leo, and her body went limp, leaning against him.
Leo was familiar with Coral’s symptoms and immediately understood that Antony had drugged her.
Feeling Coral squirm against him, Leo quickly lifted her and carried her out of the bathroom, placing her on the nearby couch.
“Miss Wilde, I’m going to remove the drug from your system,” Leo said, taking out a silver needle he had with him. He began to administer acupuncture on Coral.
After three needles, the unbearable heat within Coral quickly dissipated along with the sweat that poured out.
Once he had fully cleared the drug from Coral’s system, Leo allowed her to rest on the couch while he went over to Antony.
Antony, sitting on the ground against the wall, saw Leo approaching, and to him, it was as if the Grim Reaper was coming for him. He frantically called his bodyguards, but Leo had already incapacitated them, leaving no one to come to his aid.
“Antony, you dared to lay hands on my boss. You’re just begging for a death wish,” Leo’s eyes burned with cold determination.
Seeing the look in Leo’s eyes, Antony paled. He was genuinely afraid that Leo might lose control and kill him.
Leo had no intention of killing him, though. On the contrary, he wanted Antony to live and experience a fate worse than death. Leo had a hundred ways to make Antony suffer.
With a silver needle in his hand, Leo made a swift motion toward Antony’s groin.
After a brief glint of silver, Antony suddenly felt a sharp pain below. When Leo turned away, Antony breathed a sigh of relief, still unaware of what Leo had done to him.
