Chapter 107 Tit For Tat
Chapter 107 Tit for Tat
Jane lifted her wine glass and pretended to drink about half of it. Taking advantage of the darkness, she secretly poured out the rest of the wine. Annie didn't notice and smiled as Jane drank the wine, which had been spiked with something extra.
Success! Jane finally drank that tampered-with drink. She would pay for it later!
Jane noticed Annie's expression and inwardly chuckled to herself. She deliberately swayed her body, holding onto her wine glass with one hand while propping up her head with the other.
"Oh my goodness, why do I feel so dizzy?" Jane complained.
"Jane, are you okay? What's wrong?" Annie asked with feigned concern.
"My head is spinning and I feel so hot," Jane replied while pretending to be uncomfortable. She leaned against the railing looking limp and weak.
"Did you eat something bad? Let me help you go rest in the lounge,” said Annie as she tried to suppress her excitement. She took a step forward and kindly supported Jane.
"Okay, thank you." Jane looked restless as she kept pulling at her dress saying "Why did it suddenly get so hot?"
"Just bear with it until we reach the lounge,” said Annie as she helped support Jane towards their destination.
The medicine worked like a charm; soon enough, Jane started feeling its effects!
Annie secretly sent Florence a text message: "Everything is going smoothly; Jane has already drunk that cup of wine. I'm now helping her go rest in the lounge; after 10 minutes or so, you can call someone over."
Once they reached the lounge area where there were sofas available for resting on, Annie helped settle down an exhausted-looking Jane on one of them before turning around to leave without any suspicion from anyone else present nearby.
However just when she took a step away from where they were seated together on that sofa bedded couch-like furniture piece within this roomy space designated for taking breaks between events or meetings held here at this venue location...
"Stop!" came an icy voice from behind, causing Annie to freeze mid-step before turning back around quickly. She could only see that Jane, who moments ago had appeared completely helpless, standing upright now and staring daggers straight into hers eyes, without any hint weakness. "You're not..." stammered out an incredulous-looking Anne who couldn't believe what was happening
"I'm not what?" Jane sneered and grabbed Annie. Then she pushed Annie with force onto the sofa. "A wave of fear rushed through Annie's heart. She struggled to get up, but Jane pressed her. "What are you doing?" Annie stared at Jane in anger and fear.
Wasn't she drunk or drugged?
Why is everything okay now?
Did she fake it just now?
Jane shook the half-full glass of red wine in her hand and said coldly, "Since this wine is so good, you can have it all."
"I won't drink. Let go of me,” Annie struggled hard to push Jane away.
Jane held Annie's head with one hand and poured the remaining red wine into her mouth with the other.
Since Annie was so shameless and used such despicable means to harm her, it was no wonder she wouldn't be polite.
As you sow, so shall you reap. Let Annie fall into this trap by herself.
Annie's throat was choked badly and she coughed violently. "Cough... cough... cough... Jane, you... you bitch! You didn't drink that glass of wine at all. You faked it!"
"Yes, I didn't drink it. So what?" Jane sneered, "I never expected you would use such a low trick. Since that's the case, enjoy this glass of red wine yourself."
"Jane, I won't let you get away with this!" Annie glared at Jane fiercely with infinite resentment on her face and tried to stand up but the drug took effect quickly.
She collapsed weakly on the sofa.
It's so hot...
Under the influence of drugs, Annie began to feel feverish like having a high fever, which made her very uncomfortable.
Seeing Annie lying weakly on the sofa, Jane smiled sarcastically before turning around and leaving the lounge room.
The banquet hall dance floor...
Florence tightly hugged Patrick in front of him while feeling nervous inside, as they were close together for their first time ever like this before..
He wanted to dance with her; does that mean he likes her too?
Thinking about this made Florence's heart beat faster like a deer running wild..
She looked up at Patrick's handsome face obsessively as if lost in thought.
If only time could freeze at this moment forever...
Just when Florence was lost in thought, Patrick suddenly released his grip from hers coldly without any warning or explanation whatsoever..
Patrick had never taken his eyes off Jane throughout their dance, and when he saw Jane getting up to leave, the interest he had for dancing with Florence disappeared completely.
"Patrick where are you going?" Florence almost fell down but managed hold onto Patrick just in time .
Patrick pushed Florence away expressionlessly,”l have something else.”
As she watched the man in front of her return to his usual cold and distant demeanor, Florence couldn't help but feel her heart sink. Just moments ago they were dancing together so perfectly, why did Patrick suddenly become so indifferent towards her in just a few short minutes?
Why?
She loved Patrick so much.
Why was he so untouched?
It was all Jane's fault!
Just then, Florence received a text message from Annie. Seeing that everything was going smoothly according to plan, Florence couldn't help but smile.
Great.
Jane took the bait! There would be a good show soon enough!
When Patrick saw Jane fooling around with other men and publicly humiliating him by cheating on him, he would surely explode with anger.
Now there was no need to worry about getting rid of that bitch Jane!
Patrick pushed Florence away and looked around the banquet hall but didn't see Jane anywhere. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as his handsome face tensed up. What was this woman up to? Did she really not care at all about him dancing with Florence?
Unable to find Jane anywhere, Patrick picked up his phone and called her only for it to go straight to voicemail.
Feeling irritated, Patrick tugged at his tie when suddenly he heard Florence's voice behind him say "Patrick."
"What?" He impatiently replied.
Florence hesitated before speaking again. "There's something I don't know if I should tell you..." "What is it?" Patrick asked expressionlessly.
"Just now... I saw Jane with another man..."Florence bit her lip intentionally leaving out some details for people's imagination
Jane with another man?!
Patrick's handsome face turned icy cold as he demanded "Where is she?"
