Chapter 742

The coffee had a beautiful brown color and a pleasant aroma.

And there was a cup with some coffee powder on the table.

As a coffee lover. Reign also had many expensive coffee beans in her office.

The coffee she drank the most was Arabica coffee. However, she had some knowledge about all the other kinds of coffee as well and could immediately identify the coffee Bernard served her was the precious Saint Burdi.

She sat down with a smile. Instead of drinking the coffee, she praised the man, “I didn’t expect you to know anything about the Longhard Kingdom’s coffee. I’m really impressed.”

Bernard smiled happily as he said, “I still have niany things that will impress you in the future.”

“Oh? Do you know a lot about the Longhard Kingdom’s culture? Reign asked curiously.

“Though I’m from the Whileal Kingdom, I’m interested in the Longhard Kingdom’s culture and I’ve learned quite a bit on my own.”

Bernard put on a gentlemanly smile and said to Reign, “Come, try this. My coffee won’t disappoint you.”

It would be ungracious to deny his great hospitality. Therefore, Reign could only give it a try and take a sip.

The coffee was smooth in the mouth and had an enjoyable balance of flavors where sweetness and acidic notes worked perfectly well together.

Reign’s eyes lit up and complimented sincerely, “Mr. Bernard, your coffee tastes really good. You make better coffee than many Longhard Kingdom people.”

When Bernard saw Reign drink the coffee, he was delighted. Without saying anything, he began his “performance“. From measuring the brew ration to boiling water and soaking the coffee, he was very skillful.

Reign watched at the side and could replace any fault in it.

After brewing the coffee, Bernard poured Reign another cup.

However, Reign did not drink the coffee. Instead, she cut to the chase and said. “Mr. Bernard, I’ve tasted your coffee. Let’s get to the point now.

“Regarding the new medicine, when are you going to use it on my brother? How long will the process take?”

“Well, it can be fast and slow. It depends on how you handle this, Ms. Labenz, Bernard said with a wicked smile.

“What do you want me to do?” Reign’s face darkened.

The man wouldn’t act unless he was sure to succeed and he wouldn’t stop until he reached his goal.

Bernard said, “It’s very simple, Ms. Labenz. I’m the director of the hospital. It’s my call whether to use the medicine or not. If you want us to treat your brother with that medicine, you’ll have to get my approval first.

“You should know what to do.”

Reign’s eyes turned cold. She immediately took out a check and wrote 1 million dollars on it before placing it in front of Bernard.

*1 million dollars? Ms. Labenz, are you bribing me?” Bernard said coldly.

“Isn’t that what you want?”

“Ms. Labenz, do you think I’m a greedy person?” asked Bernard.

“Then what do you want?”

Reign furrowed her brows when she heard that.

In the beginning. Bernard had told her to donate money to construct a building in his alma mater.

She directly gave him the money now, but he rejected it. “So, he’s not after money, but fame?” she couldn’t help but wonder.

Bernard seemed to have guessed what Reign was thinking. With a smile on his face, he said, “Ms. Labenz, you’re right. I like both money and prestige.

“But compared to fame and fortunate, I’m more interested in women.”

Reign’s eyes widened in shock. She immediately understood what was going on and sprang from the chair. “You spiked my coffee?”

“Hehe, Ms. Labenz, no wonder you’re a CEO. You’re really smart.”

Bernard looked at Reign with even more admiration in his eyes. “For a smart woman like you, plus my good genes, what do you think our child will look like?

Without wasting another second, Reign wanted to run out of the room.

However, just as she was about to move her feet, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.

“Gamma hydroxybutyrate, also known as liquid ecstasy, is a powerful sedative that has a strong anesthetic effect on the central nervous system.”

Bernard looked at Reign, who was lying on the ground, with an extremely evil look in his eyes. He said proudly. “This medicine is colorless, odorless, and easily soluble in water. It’s very difficult to detect when it’s put in a drink.

“Ms. Labenz, no matter how capable and vigilant you are, you would never expect me to be so bold as to drug you in the hospital, right?”

After saying that, he drank a cup of coffee triumphantly and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a wall on the side of his office creaked and split in half, revealing a secret door.

A woman with an 80% similar figure to Reign walked out and looked at Bernard respectfully. “Boss, what can I do for you?” She looked like a foreigner and had a pair of blue eyes that were as clear as sapphires.

Her skin was rosy and flawless.

And her hair was black.

She was normal–looking, like an average Jane that no one would recognize if she was standing among a crowd.

Bernard smiled sinisterly and put down the coffee cup. Thereafter, he ripped Reign’s clothes off her and threw them to the woman, saying coldly, “You put on this and go out. Remember, don’t let the cameras capture you.

“If you give yourself away and let others replace out that you’re an imposter, your mother and brother will die, understand?” “Understood. L.. I promise I won’t give myself away.”

The black–haired woman’s voice was shaken and her eyes were filled with fear. She quickly nodded respectfully and put on Reign’s clothes and shoes. Then, she put on a wig and made her hair look the same as Reign’s. After getting dressed, she lowered her head and walked out of the room.

Her movements were deft and quick and she was familiar with the environment. She even where the cameras were. Every time the cameras were about to capture her face, she would lower her head to avoid being captured by the cameras. When she walked out, Yvonne happened to be heading toward the director’s office.

After much thought, Yvonne couldn’t put her mind at ease as Reign was alone with Bernard, so she came to watch her friend’s back.

When she saw the black–haired woman in Reign’s clothes walk out of the director’s office, her eyes brightened up and she immediately shouted, “Rei, over here.”

She waved her hand as she was calling out.

Hearing Yvonne’s words, the black–haired woman’s brows shot up in surprise. She immediately lowered her head and ran in another direction.

“Rei, why are you running?”

Yvonne’s eyes were filled with bewilderment as she hurriedly chased after her.

However, the black–haired woman was very fast. Yvonne could not catch up with her at all. The black–haired woman then disappeared around a stair at the corner.

Yvonne scratched her head in confusion. “I’m not an enemy or a monster. Why is she running away?

“Did something happen?”

She racked her brains but could not figure out why Reign ran away when she saw her.
