Chapter 50
Sergio had never been wary of Hailey, who had raised him since childhood.
But Maeve knew about Hailey’s tactics.
In her previous life, Halley had facilitated Maeve and Sergio’s relationship.
Back then, Hailey had slipped something into the red wine without even telling Maeve beforehand.
That was why Maeve intentionally avoided drinking any alcohol earlier.
“Am I overthinking this?”
After a fruitless search, Maeve was filled with confusion.
In the middle of the night, Maeve tossed and turned in bed and faintly heard some noise downstairs.
Ever since Sergio started coming back more frequently, he had fixed up a room for himself. They still slept in separate rooms every night.
Maeve pushed open the door and saw that the kitchen light downstairs was on.
She went downstairs and saw Sergio in just a loose bathrobe, drinking cold water from the refrigerator.
“Sergio?” Maeve called out softly.
The dim light in the kitchen made it hard to see, but Maeve could see Sergio’s body stiffen.
“Why are you here?” Sergio’s voice was hoarse. “Go back upstairs!”
Maeve realized something was wrong. She saw Sergio’s cheeks were slightly red, but it wasn’t a normal flush.
A bad feeling arose in her heart.
Sergio had been drugged!
“Are you okay?”
Maeve didn’t move from the stairs on the second floor.
This was the safest distance for her.
“I’m fine.” Sergio’s voice was filled with restraint. “Get back to your room!”
Upon hearing that, Maeve immediately rushed back to her room.
She wasn’t foolish enough to provoke Sergio at this moment.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, there was a sound of glass shattering downstairs.
Maeve was startled and immediately opened the door, only to see Sergio lying on the floor downstairs, seemingly unable to stand up
“Sergio!”
Maeve ran to him. The floor was covered in shattered glass.
Sergio looked unconscious. Maeve placed her hand on Sergio’s cheek, feeling the burning heat.
The next moment, Sergio grabbed Maeve’s wrist.
Maeve’s heart skipped a beat.

After a frubless search, Marw was filled with confusion.
In the middle of the night, Marve tossed and turned in bed and faintly heard some noise downstairs.

The next moment, Sergio grabbed Maeve’s wrist.
Maeve’s heart skipped a beat.
She shouldn’t have come out at this moment!
Sergio tightened his grip on Maeve’s hand. At this moment, his throat was dry, and his body felt hot all over. All he could think about was how soft and smooth her hand was, like some long–awaited nectar feeding his parched body.
Sergio’s voice was hoarse, “Is this what you wanted?”
Maeve’s expression tumed unpleasant, Sergio pressed Maeve onto the floor, staring intently at her from above.
Marve looked stunningly beautiful, her lips lush and pink like peach blossoms, and her eyes carried a hint of fear, luring him to tease her.
He hadn’t really paid attention to her before, but now he realized that Maeve was exceptionally beautiful. It would be hard to find a socialite in Seathbum City who could match her beauty.
Under the influence of the drug, Sergio slowly leaned down, wanting to relieve the burning desire in his body.
“Sergio! Get a hold of yourself!”
Sergio paused for a moment, but soon, he became angry at her words. “Get a hold of myself? You conspired with Grandina to drug nie. Ba’t this what you wanted? Marve, why are you acting innocent now?
“This has nothing to do with me!”
Maeve couldn’t justify herself, but based on her past actions of trying to please Halley, Sergio wouldn’t believe her.
Sure enough, Sergio pressed down on her hands with more force.
