Chapter 1125: Eyes in a Daze

Jared Quinn’s large hand gradually loosened, the corner of his lips carried a mocking coldness, “Miss Knight, don’t you think this kind of behavior just makes me despise you more?”

Flora Knight gasped for air, her hand lightly brushed her neck, where blue marks had already been left from his grip. She truly believed Jared Quinn wanted to kill her as simply as squashing an ant.

But even if it meant mutual destruction, she wanted to obtain the man she desired.

If she couldn’t have him, she would drag Melody Thorne down with her!

Yet, when facing this powerful man, she had no choice but to make concessions.

“Mr. Quinn, how about this? We take seven days as the limit. During these seven days, I’ll stay by your side. After seven days, then tell me whether you want to marry me,” Flora Knight proposed.

She knew precisely when Melody Thorne had been drugged, so she calculated carefully that in seven days, Melody Thorne would be in even more pain, and Jared Quinn, unable to bear it, would have no choice but to marry her in order to save Melody Thorne.

“Hand over half the pill first,” Jared Quinn extended his hand.

Flora Knight hesitated for a moment, “Alright!”

Once Jared Quinn acquired half the pill, he immediately had it delivered to Elias Hale instead of Melody Thorne.

Elias Hale could analyze and decompose that half-pill to create a new antidote.

If he gave it to Melody Thorne, they would still need to wait for the other half of the antidote in Flora Knight’s possession!

“Jared, how are things outside?” Leon Rivers was hiding and made a phone call, “Sister-in-law has me and Chloe Summers with her. I figure with her temperament, she won’t stay here for long. You need to act fast over there!”

“I’ve already taken half the pill from Flora Knight and given it to Elias Hale. He should soon produce the antidote!”

“Good.”

Leon Rivers hung up the phone, sat across from Melody Thorne, and continued watching the two women laugh and chat.

“Leon Rivers, why are you just sitting there? Don’t you see Chloe Summers is drunk?” Melody Thorne pointed at Chloe Summers.

Leon Rivers “…”

He had just slipped out to make a phone call and hadn’t noticed when the two women brought out the wine to drink. Now Chloe Summers had a blushing face, her eyes blurred.

“You should take her home first; I’ll stay here,” Melody Thorne picked up a nearby phone to start checking some information.

“Okay, I’ll be right back,” Leon Rivers picked up Chloe Summers and headed outside.

Melody Thorne’s fingers stopped dancing across the keyboard, and she abruptly shut the laptop and walked outside.

Jared Quinn hadn’t called her at all until now. In the past, he would’ve shown up at Harold Chapman’s place long ago.

Melody Thorne dialed Simon Sutton’s number. “Where’s Jared Quinn?”

“Mr. Quinn? He… he…” Simon Sutton glanced inside at the woman who had been staying in their CEO’s office all day.

“He…is in a meeting, a meeting!”

“Is he now in a meeting with a woman?” Melody Thorne exposed unhesitatingly.

Simon Sutton “How did you know?”

Right after he said it, he quickly covered his mouth.

He was busted!

Melody Thorne hung up the phone. A car had been trailing her since she left Harold Chapman’s territory, not too fast and not too slow.

“It’s this woman; she belongs to Jared Quinn, but today, after going to the Lancaster Family, she attacked Mr. Lancaster!”

Liam Lancaster stared at the woman ahead, his expression malicious, “Bring her to me. Don’t reveal our identity. I want to teach her a good lesson!”

“Yes.”

The car sped up to catch up with Melody Thorne, quickly pulling alongside her. As the car stopped, two people got out intending to drag Melody Thorne into the vehicle. At this moment, a sports car sped past, taking Melody Thorne away with it!
