Chapter 63
After a tormenting night. Florence went home with wounds all over her body.
Seeling her pale face, Matilda hurried to take her back to her room. When she saw the whip and burn marks all over Florence’s body, her heart ached.
she cursed.
“That d m n Doughs. How could he do this to you?” she cu
Florence shouted madly. “It hurts! Mom, Douglas is useless
“What do you mean? Matilda hurried to find the ointment in the medical kit.
“Down there! It’s completely useless, so he can only get his self-esteem back through such methods,” Florence explained.
Matilda was stunned. “What? How could this be?”
Florence narrowed her eyes. “Douglas told me that Dr. Summer did it. That woman is in cahoots with Vincent. Now Douglas hates Vincent very much, and there’s bound to be sparks flying.”
She excitedly held Matilda’s hand. “The more Douglas hates him, the better. He’ll hate Stephanie along with him and destroy her for me. Mom, don’t tell me you feel sorry for Stephanie.”
“Of course not! Not when she made you like this,” Matilda replied.
Florence snorted. “All I need to do now is fan the flames and sit back to watch. Mom, contact your guy as soon as possible. I must get my hands on Stephanie’s rough sketch!”
Matilda nodded. “Don’t worry. We will succeed.”
The summer product launch was going to be held in a week. In Tranquil Garden, Stephanie had been refining her sketches and taking part in tailoring.
The designers had different opinions about her.
Some felt that her designs lived up to her title of 5-class designer and were as good as Star’s.
Others felt that their designs were similar. In addition, all rough sketches used for the summer product launch were Stephanie’s
The designers who idolized Star grew dissatisfied.
Some of them even went to Julianna and asked if she had given Star’s designs to Stephanie to prop her up. After all, their designs were so alike.
Julianna just smiled and said that she would explain later. The most important thing at present was for the product launch to be successful
Stephanie went out early and came back late every day, which made Vincent look like a furning housewife waiting for her husband.
That night, Stephanie put her final sketches into a brown paper bag to be presented at tomorrow’s meeting.
She stretched and looked at fier watch. It was already ten o’clock.
She sent a message to Vincent: I’m going home, When will you be done?]
While waiting for his reply, she packed her bag and was about to leave the design studio.

She intentionally left the door unlocked.
Before leaving, she glanced at the surveillance a
e cameras and intentionally left the door unlocked when she did.
When Stephanie got to her car, she checked her phone but Vincent hadn’t replied.
Usually, he would reply instantly. Since it had been a long time, Stephanie couldn’t help but grumble a little
She called him, but no one answered.
Then, she called Zane, who also took a long time to answer.
“Zane, is Vincent with you?” she asked.
“Mr. Fletcher was poisoned with a potent substance. He’s now taking a cold bath in Azure Clubhouse Room 888. There are lots of reporters gathered outside, probably waiting to see if Mr. Fletcher is disabled.”
“I’m on my way,” Stephanie said.
She started the car and sped off.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Twenty minutes later, Stephanie arrived at the entrance of the club to find dozens of reporters standing there.
Since the club was a members-only, the reporters could only wander around outside!
She put on a mask and a baseball cap and got out of the car, Zane was waiting for her at the side entrance.
“What happened?” she asked.
Zane took her up the stairs. “We can’t tell who did it because everyone had touched that bottle of wine. Later, Mr. Fletcher felt unwell, so he asked me to take him away as soon as possible. The drug took effect very quickly, and Mr. Fletcher’s face turned red. There were reporters outside, so I brought him to the guest room. There was even a woman who came knocking on the door. She was probably trying to probe around.”
The first suspect that came to Stephanie’s mind was the Hayes family, and the second was Douglas. “Look into who these people have contacted recently. Make it discreet. Don’t alert anyone, such as the people close to us
“Yes, Mrs. Fletcher,” Zane replied.
they arrived at Prom
As they spoke, they
at Room 638.
Zane swiped the card for the door, and Stephanie entered.
The light in the room was very dim. Only a faint ray of moonlight was shining on the white carpet.
A wheelchair was placed at the end of the bed.
When she saw there was no one in the bed, she called out, “Vincent? Vincent, it’s Stephie. I’m here..
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Stephanie walked over. She pushed the door, but it wouldn’t open.
“Vincent? Are you in there? It’s Stephie,” she called out again.
She knocked on the door and leaned her cheek against it to listen for some sounds.
Suddenly, the door opened and Stephanie was pulled in.

Vincent held her tightly in his arms. His cold skin pressed against hers made her shiver.
“Are you taking a cold bath?” she asked.
Vincent buried his face in her neck and burzled it.
Stephanie could feel the heat from his cheek and breath.
It was like hoing surrounded by ice and fire.
“Stephie… Vincent grabbed her chin and kissed her
He kissed her passionately as if he was going to swallow her up.
His large hand slid up
up her firm abs, pinching the skin as it went up.
The kiss made Stephanie light-headed. Then, Vincent slid his hand into her pants.
She came to her senses in an instant. She grabbed his hand and said, “Vincent, I’m still on my period.”
Vincent swallowed and hummed lowly. “I’ll just kiss you. I won’t do anything else.”
Stephanie wanted to say that she had brought antidote pills and needles, but as soon as she opened her mouth, his tongue slipped into her mouth.
Savoring her beauty, Vincent carried her and walked out of the bathroom. He threw her on the bed, bent over, and kissed her hard.
As the two clung to each other, Stephanie could clearly sense how much Vincent was holding back,
Stephanie knew he was uncomfortable, so when he kissed her, she took out a white pill from her trouser pocket and put it into his mouth.
Vincent, I’ll help you get rid of the poison,” she said.
Because she was in a rush, she only had one pill on hand. However, the pill’s effects were minimal, perhaps because Vincent was taller and heavier than
the average person.
Stephanie pushed on his chest. “I’ll do some acupuncture for you. You’ll be okay soon.”
Vincent bit her lips and said, “I trust you. But I don’t plan to do any acupuncture tonight”
Stephanie opened her mouth in shock. “You…”
Vincent whispered in her ear,
I be helping me.
