Chapter 1218
Bonnie’s hearing wasn’t sharp enough to catch their low-voiced conversation, but she was skilled in lip reading and knew every word they said.
She realized why her initial sniffing hadn’t revealed anything. It turned out Billy had used a new type of drug in the food.
“This new drug has hallucinogenic properties. What is Billy planning to do by making me ingest it?’
Based on her analysis, Bonnie had a vague idea but needed to know more about what Billy and his subordinate discussed.
Having heard his subordinate’s words, Billy felt some of his suspicion ease. “True, no matter how skilled he is, he couldn’t possibly identify the hallucinogen in such a short time. But if he doesn’t eat, it will affect our plan to hypnotize him. How can we make him eat the drugged food?”
Billy pondered the problem while observing Bonnie.
“There’s no way he can avoid the hallucinogenic dishes every time with such a large spread,” the subordinate suggested, believing it unnecessary to worry too much.
“Not necessarily.” Billy shook his head. “Barrett’s luck is surprisingly good. If he avoids the drugged dishes, our long preparations would be in vain.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The subordinate thought momentarily and quickly suggested, “Mr. Billy, why don’t you serve him the food yourself? Given your status and gratitude towards you, he wouldn’t refuse. He would likely eat everything you serve him.”
Billy’s eyes lit up. “Good idea! If he refuses, it would indicate something suspicious. If he doesn’t, I’ll make sure to serve him the most drug-laden dishes. Then we can proceed with the next step and bring in the hypnotist to put him under.”
Bonnie, watching their lips move, instantly understood their plan to make her eat the hallucinogen-laced food.
She had already suspected Billy wanted to hypnotize her to test her loyalty. Though Billy had relaxed his guard and trusted her, his suspicious nature made him repeatedly test her.
These were only her guesses until now. Reading Billy’s and his subordinate’s lips confirmed her suspicions. With this confirmation, the rest was simple.
She had taken an antidote; such a small amount of hallucinogen posed no threat to her. As for hypnosis, she had studied it before. Since Billy’s hypnotist needed drugs to succeed, it meant his skills were lacking and posed no real threat to her.
Bonnie decided to pretend to be hypnotized and say whatever Billy wanted to hear. With her mind made up, she felt much more relaxed.
