Gordon shouted her name coldly. Ashlyn’s arrogant attitude had crossed the line.
Denise was discomfited under Ashlyn’s cold glare, so she quickly shrank behind Gordon and cried, “She drugged me, Gordon!”
Hearing this, Gordon frowned slightly and said, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
But Denise didn’t want to leave. She was nowhere near reconciled. She wanted to see Ashlyn get on her knees and beg for mercy. “No, Gordon! She drugged me! I’m calling the police! She kidnapped me and drugged me!”
“Okay, let me do that for you, Denise.”
As she spoke, Ashlyn took out her phone and dialed 911. But before she hit the dial button, she looked at Denise and added, “Oh, and don’t forget to tell the police to investigate what happened when I was taken away the night before yesterday.”
Denise faltered slightly, and the drug began to take effect in her body. Her legs went limp and she loosened her grip on Gordon’s arm. Before she could react, she lost her balance and fell to the floor.
Gordon stretched out his hand to support her. Denise looked at Ashlyn, who was also looking at her. “I have called the police. Denise, please hang on. We can go to the police station to make a record first.”
All of a sudden, Denise was scared of Ashlyn. Her crime was about to be exposed. If she was found out, she would go to jail.
Thinking about this, Denise faltered. “Gordon, I don’t feel so good. Let’s go to the hospital now, please…”
With an irritated expression, Gordon scooped the weak Denise into his arms and shot Ashlyn a cold glance before leaving.
Ashlyn didn’t shrink under his gaze. Instead, she looked back at him indifferently.
At first, Denise was exaggerating her discomfort, but as the minutes ticked by, the drug took effect and she gradually felt more and more uncomfortable.
Her consciousness grew blurred and she cried and pulled at her clothes desperately.
Without a moment to lose, Gordon took Denise straight to the hospital.
After they left, Jessie pouted. “We should’ve come here earlier. That way, when the drug took effect, we could’ve thrown Denise out. I wonder if she would still be so arrogant in the future!”
Even Ashlyn felt a little bit of regret. But she knew that this punishment was enough to make Denise suffer. “Forget it. We’ll let her go for the time being.”
If Denise dared offend her again, Ashlyn wouldn’t be so kind the next time.
As the drug took over her body, Denise gradually lost all semblance of reason. Aiken had to pin her down in the back of the car and was scratched several times.
“Are we there yet?” he asked with a frown.
Where on earth did Ashlyn get this drug? It was so effective!
Gordon didn’t say anything. Soon, the car turned a corner and pulled to a stop.
Denise kept clawing at her clothes, muttering in a strange voice that she felt hot. Gordon briskly scooped her up into his arms and carried her into the hospital.
Several nurses received Denise and hooked her onto a bag of glucose. Gradually, she calmed down, which made Aiken breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to speak when Gordon abruptly turned around and walked out.
He frowned in confusion for a while before following him out.
It turned out that the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital was nauseating to Gordon, so he came out for some fresh air.
Aiken approached him and mused, “It seems that Ashlyn has changed into a completely different person.”
Gordon narrowed his eyes at him and asked sardonically, “What’s your point?”
Aiken smiled meaningfully. “I’m not saying that what Ashlyn did was right, but your sister also did something bad.”
With a cigarette clamped between his lips, Gordon lowered his head and lit it.
Of course, he knew that Denise did something to hurt Ashlyn. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Ashlyn off the hook so easily just now.
Aiken still had a lingering good impression of Ashlyn.
After that night in ONE when Ashlyn played the drums onstage, he doubted he’d ever see her in too negative a light.
“Ashlyn has changed after your divorce. She used to be gentle and quiet, but now, she won’t let anybody who provokes her go unpunished. You’d better warn your sister, or else she’ll continue to suffer.”
Gordon took a long drag on his cigarette and frowned. “Ashlyn wouldn’t dare.”
Aiken chuckled. “She didn’t have the nerve before, but now she does.”
Gordon’s expression darkened. He took another drag on his cigarette and said nothing.
Aiken was right. Ever since the divorce, Ashlyn had become unrestrained.
In the past, she was meek and timid, but now, she dared to look straight into his eyes without an ounce of fear.
Since Gordon had fallen silent, Aiken coughed and took his leave. “I’ll go now.”
Gordon nodded absentmindedly.
Since Aiken’s car was still parked at Citrine Club, he had to take a taxi from the hospital.
However, on his way back to the club, he saw a familiar figure sitting at a roadside barbecue stand.
He had thought that Ashlyn was only joking when she said that she was hungry earlier, but it turned out that she actually meant it.
Aiken asked the taxi driver to stop and he got out of the car.
Jessie raised her head and saw Aiken. Her expression darkened instantly. “Aw, man!” she whined.
