They had drinks in a restaurant on the second floor of a hotel.
Yvonne poured Eustace some wine. “Come on, drink with me. I don’t know if we’ll be able to eat and drink like this in the future.”
She was so sad that she almost burst into tears. Eustace couldn’t stand the sight, so he didn’t refuse the wine glass she handed over.
“Eustace, if I make a big mistake in the future, will you forgive me?” Yvonne watched Eustace finish the glass of wine, feeling uneasy. She knew Eustace well, so she knew how horrible he became when enraged. However, she had no choice but to take a risk. What if she succeeded?
Eustace looked at her thoughtfully. “Yvonne, you have made many mistakes. I hope it won’t happen again.” “Does that mean you’re not going to forgive me?” Yvonne asked, her voice filled with anguish and hatred. If Danika hadn’t entered their lives, she wouldn’t be in this lowly position. She had ruined everything for Yvonne. Now that Eustace wouldn’t protect her, Yvonne knew there was only one path left for her to take.
Oblivious to her thoughts, Eustace frowned when he heard her question. “No, no one will tolerate you forever. Not even me.”
While they grew up together and Yvonne brought warmth into his life when he was a child, it didn’t mean he would tolerate everything she did forever.
“I understand.” Yvonne nodded. She knew it all too well. Filling his glass again, she said, “Have another glass with me.”
“You drank too much.” Eustace frowned.
“One last glass.” Yvonne looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Please?”
Eustace sighed and picked up his wine glass. “I’ll take you home after this.”
After drinking wine, Eustace got ready to send Yvonne back, but she still didn’t get up.
Looking out the window, she murmured, “Eustace, you only have yourself to blame. I have no other choice.”
“What did you say?” Eustace didn’t quite catch her words.
Yvonne turned her head and looked at him.
“Yvonne-” Eustace was about to ask her to get ready to leave when a wave of dizziness hit him, causing him to stumble. His vision of Yvonne became blurry. As he held the table in support, anger began to build within him. “What did you put in the wine?”
“Don’t worry, Eustace. I won’t harm you. It’s just a little something to put you to sleep.” Grinning, she rose from the chair and reached to hold Eustace’s arm.
He felt disgusted and tried to shake her off, but he failed.
Grabbing him tightly, she said, “Don’t waste your energy. Even a child has the upper hand against you in the state you’re in right now.”
With a small smile, she lugged Eustace toward the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, she turned her head to look at the entrance where a person was waiting. The person started taking many pictures with their camera.
Yvonne’s lips curved into a triumphant smile as she led Eustace into the elevator. She was busy imagining what would happen the next morning when he noticed that Eustace was trying to make a phone call.
She grabbed the phone and ended the call.
“Eustace, I don’t want to hurt you, so you’d better not do anything stupid.
With that, she put Eustace’s phone into her bag. However, she didn’t choose to turn off the phone. After all, if people knew that Eustace was missing, his assistant Vincent would show up in the blink of an eye. She was. just getting started, and there was no way she would allow anyone to interrupt her.
Meanwhile, in Perry Residence, Danika was in the shower. When she exited the shower, she noticed she had a missed call. To her surprise, it was from Eustace.
After a moment of thought, she called him back, but no one answered. Frowning, she wondered what was going on.
Flinging the phone aside, she lay on the bed, ready to sleep. However, five minutes later, she found herself calling Eustace again.
Eustace rarely called her, and it was even rarer for him not to pick up her call. Suddenly, Danika thought of the people who had stared at them in the grocery store. Perhaps their target wasn’t her, but it was Eustace instead.
With that thought in mind, she began to worry. She dialed his number again, but she still received no answer. Nonetheless, she didn’t give up and dialed once more.
Just as she thought she wouldn’t receive an answer again. The call connected, and she hurriedly asked, ” Eustace, are you okay? Why was there no one on the phone just now-”
“Miss Zellweger?”
It was not Eustace on the other end of the line, but Yvonne, whom she hated.
“Eustace is taking a shower. Are you in a hurry to speak to him? Do you need me to pass him the phone for you?” Yvonne asked, making sure Danika could hear the sound of water from the bathroom.
Danika was at a loss for words. She felt stupid for thinking that something could happen to the mighty Eustace. Why would he call her when he was with Yvonne?
“Miss Zellweger?” Yvonne called.
“There’s no need,” Danika said coldly. “I called the wrong number.”
“Oh.” As soon as Yvonne finished speaking, Danika hung up the phone.
Sneering. Yvonne turned off the shower and walked out of the bathroom. Watching the man lying on the bed, she grinned as she removed her clothes and climbed into bed with him.
