That night, Danika slept very poorly. She had a dream that lasted all night, but she couldn’t remember what she had dreamt about when she woke up.
In the morning, she dragged herself out of bed to make breakfast for herself despite her fatigue. Since it was Sunday and she wasn’t on hospital duty, it was a rare day off. However, she didn’t feel like resting, so she went to see Gilbert after breakfast to enquire about the current situation of the Dickmans and to seek his help with the clothing brand.
With that, Eustace cropped up in her mind. For some reason, Danika felt a little down, as if a heavy weight had been placed on her chest. When she realized what she was feeling, she slapped to stop herself from thinking about him. She had nothing to do with him, so why was he on her mind?
Little did she know, a piece of shocking news had flooded the Internet, and the main character of the news was Eustace.
Eustace woke up naked beside Yvonne, who was also naked. However, that was not the worst part. Before he could ask any questions, a large group of reporters rushed in with their cameras to take pictures. By the time Vincent arrived, the reporters had already circulated the photos, and it was too late to stop them.
When all the reporters had finally been chased away, Eustace glared at Yvonne, livid. She was still lying on the bed.
“I drank with you when you were sad because you were my friend, and this is how you treat me?” he spat, his voice cold as ice.
Vincent shivered, knowing that Eustace was furious.
Yvonne raised her head, meeting Eustace’s eyes, her expression stoic as she said, “I had no other choice. If I don’t marry you, I must marry that fat man from the Bloom family.”
“You think doing this will make me marry you?” Eustace sneered, wondering where Yvonne got her confidence in her plan.
What did a photo of two lying together in bed prove? He knew very well that nothing had happened between them.
“Well, at least there’s a chance. If I do nothing, all chances are lost,” she said. There was no point crying over spilled milk.
Eustace tried his best to stop himself from hitting her.
Yvonne nonchalantly grinned and said, “Even if you don’t marry me, I believe Danika won’t be with you when she sees the news. She might hate you even more.”
In an instant, Eustace’s anger rose. He grabbed Yvonne’s jaw, asking, “Is that your real purpose?” Yvonne didn’t speak, but her silence was the answer he needed. Eustace flung her to the ground and looked away.” Make sure she doesn’t go anywhere. I’ll deal with her when I’m back!”
He wouldn’t let her off the hook so easily. However, there was something more important he had to deal with at the moment.
Meanwhile, Danika was in her condominium. She had just had breakfast, changed her clothes, and was about to head out when there was a knock on the door.
Wondering who had come so early in the morning, she opened the door cautiously only to see Eustace standing outside. The sight of him shocked her.
After she finally recovered and made sure that she wasn’t hallucinating, she asked coldly, “Anything I can help you with, Mr. Quincey? Why are you here so early in the morning?”
“Danika, I-”
“Mr. Quincey, please call me Miss Zellweger or Dr. Zellweger. After all, we aren’t very close with each other.”
It disgusted her that despite announcing his intentions to pursue Danika, he spent the night in the same room with Yvonne. Her words didn’t make Eustace angry. He didn’t even dare to look her in the eyes. Seeing him like that, Danika figured that her guess was correct-Eustace was sleeping with Yvonne. “What an absolute scumbag!” she thought to herself.
*Danika, I swear nothing happened between Yvonne and me. Those articles online are all nonsense!” Eustace explained.
Danika didn’t believe him. Just as she was about to reply, she noticed something amiss. “Articles? What articles online?”
With that, she took her phone out to check the news. Although Eustace wanted to stop her, he knew it was meaningless. However, he was surprised Danika didn’t know anything about the articles, yet she reacted in such a manner.
Before he could figure out why she had reacted that way, Danika had read the news, and her expression was even uglier than before.
She looked at Eustace as an indescribable feeling of discomfort filled her chest. All she knew was that she couldn’t stand the sight of him.
“Well, it seems that he came bearing good news. Congratulations, Mr. Quincey.”
Everyone on the Internet said that Eustace and Yvonne were going to get married soon, and Danika thought the same too. They had slept together, so what else would they do if they didn’t get married?
Feeling rather upset, Eustace tried to explain, “I didn’t know she would drug me, Danika. I really don’t like her that way.”
He was drugged?
She chuckled lightly, pointed to the photo on the phone, and asked, “So you went for a meal with her, and she drugged you?”
Assuming his claim was true, everything could have been avoided if Eustace had never had a meal with. Yvonne. They had a meal in a hotel restaurant. No matter how she tried to think otherwise, they looked like they were on a date.
Yvonne had also picked up the phone when she called Eustace last night, and she told her that he was taking a bath. Could he take a bath after being drugged?
“Eustace, I’m not an idiot!”
“Danika, I didn’t!” Helpless, Eustace wondered how he could explain the situation to her. Still, he took a deep breath and told her everything that had happened last night. “I never thought Yvonne would do something like that. Look, nothing happened between us-she wanted to create gossip and force me into marrying her.”
After hearing that, Danika chuckled. “Isn’t that perfect? You’ve known her since childhood. There’s nothing. wrong with marrying her early.”
“Danika-”
