Did you smell something when you entered the guest room?” asked Stephanie.
Vincent hummed and felt something different: He understood what Stephanie meant and said, “So, I caught something?”
Stephanie nodded.
Vincent closed his eyes and tried to calm down. “Then why are you and Douglas all right?” he asked.
“The scent is strong. Normally, one would succumb to it in one to two minutes. I’m fine because I took the antidote pill in advance. Douglas must have taken the antidote as well. Otherwise, he would have lost his mind, not to mention control me. It’s my bad for forgetting to remind you,” replied Stephanie.
Vincent took a deep breath and asked, “Do you still have the antidote pill?”
Glancing at Vincent, Stephanie said apologetically, “I only have one in my b

“I can only knock you out first, but I can’t do it,” said
“Then… I can,” said Vincent.
Vincent called Zane and told him to avoid it. However, Zane informed Vincent that he had already sensed something

With murderous bloodshot eyes, Giovanni asked, “Where is your boss?”
The staff sneered and replied rudely, “The boss is unavailable. Come back
nother day!”
Giovanni punched the staff in the face and said, “I’ll kill you if you don’t tell me today”
The people in the restaurant were frightened and ran out.
Only Graham and Joseph in the corner were amused.
Joseph smiled and said, “Gio, what a temper.”
Giovanni turned toward the voice with a serious face. “Julianna was kidnapped in the basement of this shop. She’s in serious danger,” he said.
Graham and Joseph’s faces changed in an instant. They bolted up and grabbed the other restaurant staff to ask about the basement,
Yet, the staff kept silent,
Seeing that, the three of them started pressuring the staff.

Julianna sniffed and answered, “I thought I was going to die! I was so scared!”

Graham was speechless.
Giovanni and Joseph were confused. They wondered, ‘What did Graham do to her? Is he getting unjustly attacked?’
When they tried to leave the basement, the entrance was suddenly blocked, and the sound of hammering was heard.

owner immediately realized that something had happened in the basement. Indeed, he heard the sound of fighting inside when he ran over.
The owner thought he was doomed if the people inside came out.
immediately, the owner decided to keep them contained while he called Douglas to handle the situation.
at the nailed entrance, the owner spat and said, “I’ll see how you can get out! You’ll be begging for mercy on your knees when Mr. Fletcher gets

Although the owner loved beautiful women, he only wished to call Douglas at that moment. “I’m truly sorry. The shop is closed,” he said.

Stephanie had unwrapped five sets of cutleries and said, “I heard you’re running a shady business here, selling buns filled with human flesh.”-
The owner’s mouth twitched and replied, “There’s no such thing.”
Spinning a fork between her fingers, Stephanie asked, “Then why do you have so many people locked up in your basement?”
At that moment, the owner realized that the beautiful woman was not there for food but for trouble.

However, Stephanie was like a lamb to the s la g h t e r since she was alone. The owner thought he only had to lock her up and wait for Douglas. After all, she would surely fetch a good price with her looks if she was sold to other countries.
The owner glared at Stephanie and said in a deep voice, “You brought this upon yourself. Now, you can’t leave even if you want to!”
The owner then reached out to grab Stephanie’s neck.
However, Stephanie grabbed the owner’s wrist and pressed it on the table. Then, she stabbed the back of his hand with the fork.
Splat!
The fork pierced through the back of the hand, and instantly blood gushed out.
The owner cried miserably.
“F u c k!” shouted the owner.
Stephanie pressed the owner’s other wrist on the table and did the same thing.
The owner wanted to pull them out, but he couldn’t.
“There’s a few forks left. What do you think about stabbing the eye?” asked Stephanie.
The owner never expected Stephanie to be so ruthless. Sweating in pain, he begged, “Madam, forgive me. I’m only following orders. Mr. Fletcher is behind this. You should take it out on him!”
Stephanie stared at the owner and said, “Do you know why I stabbed your hand?”
The owner trembled and replied, “B-because I locked your friends in the basement.”
“That’s one. Another reason is that you nailed the entrance of the basement. Now, I have to remove the nails!” said Stephanie.
The owner was speechless.
Ignoring the owner, Stephanie went to the storeroom and found a tool to remove the nails.
Soon, Stephanie kicked away the plank and saw Giovanni smiling at her.
“Boss, I knew it was you!” said Giovanni.
Stephanie stepped aside and gave way.
Julianna immediately hugged Stephanie and said, “Stephie, I was almost frightened to death.”
Stephanie hugged Julianna back and said, “I’m sorry, Julia. It was Douglas. He came for me.”
Julianna shook her head and said, “Don’t say sorry. It’s those s c u m b g s’ misdeeds!”
Withdrawing from Stephanie’s arms, Julianna wiped her tears and continued, “I think it was Cornelius who kidnapped me. I think I heard him before I lost consciousness.”

Stephanie replied, “He’s highly suspicious. I haven’t interrogated Douglas yet, but don’t worry. I won’t let him go based solely on what happened last night.”
Holding Julianna’s shoulders, Stephanie added, “The police will arrive soon. Gio will accompany you to the station to make a report because we’re sending Douglas to prison.”
Julianna nodded and said, “Okay! We’ll send that jerk into prison forever so that he’ll never harm anyone again!”
Stephanie also nodded and said, “I’ll find you later. Vincent is poisoned, so I have to perform acupuncture on him.”
Julianna blinked and whispered in Stephanie’s ear, “Acupuncture? Aren’t you the antidote?”
Stephanie was speechless
Julianna snickered and continued, “It’s a good chance to try him out. Some men look like they’re good in bed, but they’re actually terrible!”
Stephanie was quiet.
Juljanna patted Stephanie’s shoulder and added, “I’m fine. You don’t have to come accompany me!”
Stephanie had no words.
At last, Julianna chased Stephanie into the car and gave her an ambiguous look.
Stephanie looked at Vincent and noticed his neck had begun to turn red.
Vincent looked like a temptress with his thin lips slightly open and Adam’s apple bobbing.
Vincent opened his eyes and said seductively, “Stephie, I feel uncomfortable.”
