Chapter 428 I Love You So Much
Colton would never admit that he was drugged. Hence, he replied, “It’s just that I have been too busy with the company’s affairs lately. Nothing serious, don’t worry.”
Anna did not doubt her son’s reply, so she patted his hand and urged, “Take care of yourself, Colton. I know you’re hardworking, but you can’t just ignore your health.”
Colton knew his mother cared about him, so she would nag him sometimes. He had a faint smile on his face and replied softly, “I know, Mom.”
Because Benedict was old, he got tired pretty quickly. So, he decided to end the party early as he went upstairs to rest. While the elders of the Gardner Family accompanied him, not everyone followed. That was because Colton made a detour as he went to the backyard.
In the dilapidated utility room, a woman was lying unconscious on the ground while the air was filled with a disgusting smell. Two sturdy bodyguards were sitting beside her smoking cigarettes, and when they saw Colton, they quickly snuffed out the cigarette butts and addressed Colton respectfully, “President Gardner.”
Colton covered his nose and frowned slightly when he noticed the smell. Then, he looked at Queenie, who was unconscious. Fortunately, her body was already wrapped in cloth because he would feel nauseated otherwise. “This is the birth control pill. Feed it to her,” Colton threw the pill toward the bodyguards and said indifferently.
The bodyguards instantly grabbed Queenie and fed her the contraceptive pill. Afterward, they merely sat there and dared not speak because they did not know what Colton was planning. Colton looked at the bodyguards and continued, “If you reveal anything about what happened today, you know what’s coming for you.”
The bodyguards had been working with the Gardner Family for many years, so naturally, they knew what the Family was capable of. If the Gardners wanted them gone, it would be as simple as stepping on an ant. Therefore, they immediately understood their perilous situation as they nodded and said, “Don’t worry, we know what to do.”
Colton gazed at the bodyguards, who were being very respectful, and then glanced at the woman on the ground. “Take her to the second-floor guest room at the Gardner Residence,” ordered Colton. He was just about to leave the room when he remembered something, halted his footsteps, turned, and instructed the bodyguards, “You two will work at the Gardner Corporation from tomorrow onward coupled with a pay raise, as long as you keep your mouth shut.”
When they heard the good news, they quickly nodded. “Thank you, President Gardner!” Of course, they were willing to work at the Corporation. It was much more convenient to work there than at the Gardner Residence. Not to mention the spare time they would have, the salary was also higher. More importantly, not everyone had the privilege to work at the Corporation.
Colton then left without wasting a single second.
As soon as Colton departed from the room, the bodyguards quickly moved Queenie upstairs. Fortunately, most servants were still cleaning the anteroom up, so no one noticed the three. The bodyguards placed her on the bed as ordered and hurriedly retreated after they tidied everything up.
Queenie did not know how long she had slept, but when she was awake, she could clearly feel the exhaustion—she must have been doing it with Colton for a long time. She let out a low whine, frowned, and felt like her body was about to fall apart. Even the movement of covering her forehead with her palm made her feel very uncomfortable. Then, she noticed that her groin area was swollen and painful.
When she thought of that, she blushed slightly as she did not expect Colton to be so forceful in bed. Unfortunately, her memory was a little fuzzy, and she could not recall what she was doing when the drug took effect. She just vaguely remembered that someone was on top of her body and wanted her again and again.
Just when she tried her best to remember what had happened, she heard a low male voice ring next to her. “You’re awake.” She looked up and saw Colton leaning on the door frame. It was that moment when she started to panic and hurriedly explained, “Colton, I-I drugged you because I love you so much!”
