Anderson trade out of the hotel room, stepping over anything in his path. The hotel manager quickly ducked away upon seeing the most formidable figure in the city‘ Mr Barlow
Anderson’s voice was cold. ‘If a word of tonight gets out, you’ll deal with the consequences. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The trembling manager nodded quickly. “Rest assured, Mr. Barlow. Not a single word will be leaked. I’ll delete the surveillance footage immediately.”
Without hesitation, Anderson walked into the elevator.
The night had taken an unexpected turn. As they headed toward the Barlow mansion, Shane asked, “She’s been drugged. Mr. Barlow, are you sure we don’t need to go to the hospital?”
Hailey, burning with a fever in Anderson’s arms, restlessly moved her hands against his chest. He unfastened his tie and bound her hands.
Hailey, unable to move and overcome by the drug, felt as if thousands of ants were crawling over her. She whimpered, “It’s… so… hot…”
Anderson, perhaps because affected by the strong alcohol, frowned due to a severe headache. The car continued to speed along the highway.
They arrived at the mansion at around 11:00 pm. When the car stopped, Anderson commanded, “Get out.”
Shane silently exited the vehicle.
Anderson soon untied Hailey’s hands, and her feverish body immediately clung to him. “I feel… so uncomfortable…” she whimpered, her voice mixed with soft sobs. Meanwhile, Mayra, who was rummaging through a nearby trash can, noticed the car and the entangled couple inside. Shocked, she dropped the empty water bottle she was holding.
Hailey was barely clothed in a skimpy camisole, and her eyes were glazed over. Anderson was looking at her with a calm gaze that Mayra recognized all too well.
In her previous life, Anderson had given her the same look after they had sex. The connection between Anderson and Hailey was undeniable.
Was it all really for her sake? Or was it just to satisfy his own desires? Mayra doubted the sincerity of Anderson’s words.
Mayra watched the scene unfold before her. Her vision was blurred by the darkness, but the pain in her chest grew.
As Anderson had said, Hailey didn’t know she was Renee’s biological daughter. But what about Anderson? How could he be with Hailey, knowing that Renee was behind his own mother’s death?
Unable to bear the sight, Mayra picked up the dropped water bottle and left.
Nearly 15 minutes later, Anderson carried Hailey into the mansion.
Julia had set out a late–night snack and was coming down from Mayra’s room when she saw Hailey in Anderson’s arms. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Mr. Anderson! How could you bring her here? Do you know who she is?”
“Bring some ice to my room.”
Julia watched helplessly as Anderson carried Hailey upstairs.
In the master bedroom’s bathroom, Hailey was dumped into the bathtub. Julia poured the ice into the water, her eyes full of malice.
Anderson asked, “Where’s Mayra?”
