Chapter 105

Brandon shot a wary glance our way. Once he saw I wasn't paying attention, he shoved Maeve onto the couch.

Kathy and I quickly turned our gazes back, having looked away earlier to avoid being noticed.

"Go home now. This is your last warning!" Brandon said coldly.

Maeve snatched her drink back and took a few more sips.

Kathy then turned to Savannah and said, "Find an excuse to get close to Maeve and slip this into her drink."

Savannah nodded, took the item from Kathy, and quietly approached Maeve.

She positioned herself in front of Maeve and said something to Brandon.

Brandon glanced at me and gave a small smile.

Maeve, not wanting to see this, turned her head away. At that moment, we saw Savannah discreetly drop the substance into Maeve's drink.

The whole maneuver was smooth and seamless, impossible for anyone to notice.

Savannah returned, and Kathy looked at her curiously. "What did you say to him?"

Savannah replied, "I asked Brandon when he was going home, on behalf of Ms. Sharp."

Kathy gave her a thumbs up. "Smart and brave. Well done."

She then smiled and said, "Now, let's sit back and watch the show."

I was curious too. "What did you give Maeve?"

Kathy winked. "You'll find out soon enough."

Brandon seemed to be giving up on convincing Maeve. He was always impatient with women.

Maeve, not wanting him to leave, grabbed Brandon's arm. They started to pull and tug at each other in the corner.

Brandon, always cautious, kept looking around, not wanting to make a scene.

Maeve kept talking to him, and despite his irritation, there was a hint of enjoyment in his eyes.

Kathy checked her watch. "The drug should kick in soon."

I was even more curious now, wondering what Kathy had given Maeve.

Suddenly, Maeve started undressing herself, her face flushed and looking overheated.

I realized what was happening and stared at Kathy in disbelief.

She nodded and smiled. "Yep, it's an aphrodisiac."

"Someone like her deserves this. Nothing else would suit her better!"

I asked, "Why do you carry something like that with you?"

Kathy gave a mysterious smile. "I had a feeling something might happen tonight, so I came prepared."

I couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. It was satisfying, in a way.

Brandon was stunned by Maeve's behavior. "What are you doing?"

Kathy pulled me and Savannah closer to watch the scene unfold.

As we approached, Brandon quickly distanced himself from Maeve. "Honey, I don't know what's wrong with her. She just started undressing herself. I didn't touch her."

I knew the truth but pretended to be confused. "She looks really uncomfortable. Maybe we should take her back to the hotel to rest."

Brandon, relieved that I wasn't suspicious, nodded quickly and called over a security guard. "Take her upstairs."

Maeve was almost down to her underwear, still calling out for Brandon.

A man came to help her, and she clung to him, feeling the coolness and comfort.

From our perspective, it looked like Maeve was all over the security guard.

The middle-aged man seemed thrilled by the unexpected encounter.

But Maeve wasn't satisfied with just clinging. She started kissing the guard, making the scene even more shocking.

Brandon's face twisted in disgust. He hated women who had been with other men, so I knew he would never touch Maeve again after this.

He called out to the guard, "Get this disgusting woman upstairs."

Maeve continued to cling to the guard, mumbling incoherently.

The hall was still full of people, all witnessing the scene, confused by Maeve's sudden behavior.

Kathy smiled at me. "By tomorrow, Maeve's reputation will be even worse."

"She won't be able to attract any wealthy men after this."

Maeve had only been able to find men because she slept with rich ones, moving down the ladder. But after tonight, no wealthy man would be interested in her.

It was getting late, and Brandon arranged for a car to take Kathy home.

He looked at me. "Honey, I have a bit more to do. Want to wait and go home with me?"

I shook my head and pointed to Savannah. "No, I'll go with Savannah. She hasn't been drinking."

Brandon nodded and left.

Savannah and I headed to the hotel entrance. She told me to wait while she got the car from the garage.

I nodded, not in a hurry, and watched the night scene outside.

The weather was nice, with a cool breeze and a hint of floral scent in the air.

Suddenly, a van pulled up, and several men got out.

Sensing something was wrong, I instinctively stepped back, but the men moved quickly, grabbing me.

A black bag was thrown over my head, and I was shoved into the van.

I realized I was being kidnapped.

I didn't struggle or scream, seeing the bulges at their waists, likely guns.

To stay safe, I let them push me into the van, which drove off to an unknown destination.

After a long, bumpy ride, they finally pulled me out, dragging me to the ground.
