Chapter 64 Tossed in Together
Meanwhile, the Mann Family had also received the Andersons’ invitation. Queenie immediately pulled Joseph upstairs to the second floor when he arrived.
Today, Joseph was dressed up to the nines, but his outfit still didn’t do anything to change his usual demeanor. The expensive suit he had on made him look like a greasy young man.
“Miss Anderson, you must have a reason for bringing me up here, right?” Joseph asked with a smile. He had attended William’s birthday party today primarily because Nicole would be here. Although Nicole did not believe the results of the paternity test, once they repeated the test this upcoming weekend, Joseph would still be confirmed as Hayden’s father. There was no escaping from the truth.
The elders of the Mann Family had begun to treat him nicer because of this. Even his own father praised him.
Queenie grinned coldly on the inside when she saw how Joseph brimmed with energy, but she still feigned a kind tone. “My sister wanted you to come. She said she has something to tell you here.”
“Nicole asked for me?” Excitement peeked through Joseph’s voice.
Queenie nodded. “That’s right. Nicole told me to inform you to wait here. She’ll be coming over in a bit.”
Joseph was ecstatic. The reason why Nicole would ask for him had to be because of her son. He hastily said, “Okay, I’ll wait for her here!”
Queenie’s smile became even more pleased when she saw the delighted look on his face. She nodded. “I’ll take my leave for now. Please wait here for a moment. Nicole will be here soon.”
Queenie then exited the room. There was an aromatherapy oil—with something extra added to it—being diffused into the room. Queenie was certain that Joseph would feel its effects once the door was closed.
Prior to Joseph’s arrival, Lydia and Queenie had already set up a hidden camera inside the room. The camera was linked to the screen on the main stage where the party was being held. When the time came, Nicole would sleep with Joseph. If she didn’t marry him after that, she would have to live her life in shame forever. And if Nicole did marry Joseph, she would be doomed still because he was a worthless, spineless man!
At the end of the day, Queenie would win and have Nicole eternally cut out of Colton’s life!
Joseph excitedly waited for Nicole inside the room. She must have wanted to talk to me about the paternity test if she asked me to wait here. At that thought, Joseph’s smile widened.
But why’s the room getting hotter? It’s still February, and the breeze outside still has a slight chill to it. Why is it so hot?
Before he could think even further, the door suddenly swung open. Two bodyguards immediately tossed Nicole inside.
Joseph was startled by this. He hastily stepped forward, wanting to ask what had happened out of concern. When he looked down though, he saw that Nicole’s face had reddened. Her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, in contrast to her usually pale skin. Her pink lips were moist, resembling springy jelly. It made Joseph want to bite at them. Her eyes were slightly distant. She looked like she was seducing him when she looked at him.
Joseph’s heart was stirred. Heat rushed through his lower half. He had visited his share of nightclubs over the years, and he definitely knew that Nicole had to have been drugged, considering her state now. But that fit perfectly with his agenda. They would be together at some point anyway. There was no difference in doing the deed now or delaying it a bit more.
With that thought, he began to act on his impulses. At first, Joseph even politely asked, “Miss Nicole, are you okay? You seem to be in pain, judging from your expression. Do you want me to help you?”
Nicole lowered her head as she bent over on the ground, as though she was doing her best to hold something back.
Joseph swallowed. Seeing how Nicole neither answered nor refused him, his lecherous side reared its head. He reached out to touch her, but before he could make contact with Nicole, she suddenly lifted her head. Those misty eyes had cleared up, and there was even a mocking look in those clear eyes of hers.
Joseph was angered by Nicole’s gaze. This woman is looking down on me!
“Quit the act already, Nicole. You crawled into my bed five years ago certainly because of money. Aren’t you waiting for a man, since you look so seductive now? I’ll fulfill your wish!” he said cruelly, smiling all this while.
