Chapter 1049

It was but a moment, yet to Alicia, it felt like an eternity. She saw the hurt and heartbreak inNarissa's eyes, and it sliced her heart to pieces, tearing the remnants of her dignity apart. "I'm sorry."Unable to face anyone, Alicia let go of Jamie and escaped into her room like a scared kitten. Despitethe short journey, she still managed to bump into the doorframe, and it bruised her shoulder. Yet,she ignored the pain and quickly closed the door. Only when darkness had engulfed her could sheheave a sigh of relief. She leaned on the door and slowly slid to the ground.

It was still silent outside. A long while later, Narissa finally moved. She made her way to Jamie andeasily held him around his shoulder. Calmly, she moved to the elevator. When she passed byZephyr, she hissed, "Do not tell this to anyone. Not a soul.”

He took a deep breath and looked away. "I'm not much for gossip. I saw nothing."

Narissa didn't seem to hear that. She made her way to the elevator and stopped. Quietly, she said,"Thank you.” And then, she took Jamie into the elevator.

Zephyr looked at the ground. He muttered, "Sweet dreams, though I wonder if you can even sleeptonight.” After that, he went back into his room.

Narissa came back to the second floor. Just when she was about to enter her room, she noticedsomeone talking in Room 206, so she turned around to check things out.

Danny and Ariel were on the sofa, and they were covered in robes. One was massaging theirforehead while the other was poking their temples. Maverick was lying beside Danny, wearingnothing but a shirt and a pair of boxers. He was still out cold. A roll of blanket slept on the long sofabeside him, revealing a pair of women's feet facing the door. On the table were bottles of mineralwater brought by Ariel. Irvin was fiddling with a test tube, and it clanged with another. It seemschaotic.

"You guys are late.” Noticing Narissa holding Jamie, Elise asked worriedly, "Is he alright?"

Narissa looked at Jamie calmly. "He's alright.” A pause later, she looked into the room. "Whathappened?”

Irvin was done with his experiment. He held up a test tube and answered, "Hallucinogen. Almostevery single bottle is tampered with."

Danny gave Maverick a hard kick. "You b*stard. You did the same thing last time! That's it. You'relosing your d*ck. I don't want you to harass Ariel anymore. You're really getting it this time!"

"Ahem." Elise cleared her throat. "He was going after you, actually.”

"Sorry?" Danny gave Elise a look of bewilderment.

"If it weren't for Mommy and me, you would've been violated, Uncle Danny,” added Irvin.

Danny went silent for a moment. Then, he went to the kitchen and came back with a knife. Hestared at Maverick with nothing but murder in his eyes.

Worried that he might kill Maverick, Ariel took the knife away. "Don't dirty your hands.”

"What about that woman?" asked Elise.

Danny heaved a sigh in frustration. "She's Alicia's friend. I have no idea why she's here. Gave her twobottles before. She probably drank some. Or maybe Maverick screwed her. I came back with Danny,and she was already there. Must be related to Maverick or something,” said Ariel.

Danny froze upon hearing that. "We should see Alicia. She might be drugged as well. Don't wantanyone to do anything to her."

Coldly, Narissa said, "She's fine."

Danny paused for a moment and looked at her. "How do you know?"

"Met her on my way back. She was fine," Narissa spoke calmly. Too calmly.

With that, she left with Jamie. So, that's what happened. Alicia and Jamie were drugged. Then, theyhad sex for some reason. She was already in a rut and didn't want to see anyone for the moment, soshe left.

Odd. Narissa loves to replace out the freshest gossip. What happened to her? Well, she might not wantto talk, so I should leave her to it. "What now?" She turned to the other people.

Danny glared at Maverick. "Call Zephyr. We need to neuter this guy. He's a menace.”

"Are you sure Zephyr can do that?" I'm worried for him. Zephyr, I mean.

"He's a doctor. As long as Maverick doesn't die, it's alright. Even if he does die, he deserves it."Danny wanted results. He couldn't care less about the process. This b*stard almost violated me. I'dhave skinned him alive. He's lucky he’s getting off with surgery. And one operated by Zephyr, noless.

Elise and Irvin were speechless.

Only Ariel was processing the whole case. "Rylantha's room is right across. Maverick wouldn't havecheated on her so brazenly. She must have been drugged as well. Can you unlock that door for me,Irvin?"

"Sure thing." The boy had taken over the lock system. All he had to do was type in the number, andthe door would unlock.

Ariel went inside and saw Rylantha sleeping soundly. She pushed Rylantha for a bit, yet the womandidn't stir.

"So, honey... Found anything?" Danny craned his neck.

Ariel left the room and grinned. "I wonder what'll happen to Maverick if Rylantha sees him sleepingwith another woman."

"She might cut his d*ck off?" Man, that might actually happen. Ooh, I see! He clapped happily. "Isee. Will be back in a jiff."

Ariel supervised the operation. Maverick was already going to cheat anyway, so they changed thespot and his partner. He'll deal with the problems himself.

Jamie woke up when it was nearly afternoon the next day. He saw Narissa sitting on the windowsill,and he massaged his head. "We went on for a while last night." He sat up. "You're up early."

"I didn’t sleep.” Narissa sat by the window the whole night.

Jamie sobered up a little upon hearing her answer. "Is something the matter? Did I hurt you? Sorry, Ihad no idea what I was doing, so... I'm really sorry if I hurt you."

Danny glared at Maverick. "Call Zephyr. We need to neuter this guy. He's a menace."
