Chapter 362 
Cynthia and the others completed their search for all the rooms below. They gathered at the stairs and headed to the top floor with their final hope. As they approached, they heard a knock on the door. They rushed over joyfully. They tried to open the door, but it was locked. 
Hallet slammed the door and called out. “Queena, are you in there? 

Inside the room. Arnis finally heard the sound and was thrilled. He hurriedly exclaimed, “Hallet, find a way to open the door. Your girlfriend is too scary.” 
As he heard this, Hallet’s mind began to wander. He 
Olded angrily, “Arnis, if anything happens to Queen Ill skin you alive. 
The lock on the door should be a new one. The key that Cynthis had just snatched over was unable to unlock it. Hallet got impatient and kicked the door forcefully. The belongings of the Merion family, which were anything but inexpensive, had now been severely damaged by Hallet’s actions. Cynthia was shocked to witness Hallet’s violent actions for the first time and silently took a step back. Suddenly, the sturdy door collapsed, almost crushing Arnis underneath 
Hallet didn’t care about anything else. He immediately ran over to the bed. Seeing Queena’s miserable look, he was filled with distress. He quickly untied the rope from Queena’s body and covered her with his coat. 
Without restraints, Queena tightly wrapped her hands around him. Upon catching a familiar scent, Queen was entranced, longing to draw closer to him 

Hallet coaxed her gently, “Queena, listen. Don’t move. It will be over soon. 
Outside the ro 
room, Liam silently looked away. 
When Cynthia came in from outside and passed by Arnis, she glanced at him with a complicated expression. Arnis was so frightened that he raised his bands. “I didn’t touch her or even look at her. I just focused on guarding the door” 
Without saying a word, Cynthia silently approached the bed and gently checked Queena’s pulse. Alter some time, her expression grew somber. “There’s that kind of drug in her system, but it has been in it for too long. The acupuncture is no longer effective.” 
Although this type of drug was not lethal, it could be extremely uncomfortable without the antidote. Now, there were only two options. The first was for Queena to endure the discomfort on her own, while the second was for Haller and Queena to engage in a sexual encounter. The final decision rested upon Hället’s choice. 
Hallet remained silent for a moment, then lifted Queena up. Queena grew increasingly restless in his arms, her hot face pressing against him. Halict was very distressed. He went to Arnis and asked, “Where’s your room!” 
Arnis immediately understood his intention and led them directly to his room. Once Haller entered the room, he locked the door. As soon as the door closed, Queena instinctively pressed herself against Hallet, wrapping her arms and legs around him. 
Hallet also ate the pastry. He was already feeling sensitive. When he saw his beloved woman, he couldn’t control his desire and started sweating profusely. Hallet tried to calm her down in a rough voice, but she held onto him tightly, making it impossible for him to move. “Queena, please stop moving. Let’s go cool off in the cold water. 
Unable to find any relief for her physical discomfort, Queena cried, “Hallet, I don’t feel well” 
Queena’s crying almost broke Hallet’s heart and made him almost lose his control. He struggled to remain composed and said with a heavy breath, “Querna, hold on a little longer.” 
He did indeed desire to have a sexual relationship with the woman he liked, but he was determined not to take advantage of her at this time. Any potential intimacy between them would only happen after they both confirmed their relationship and with Queena’s consent. With sweat streaming down his forehead, Hallet carefully carried her into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Queena finally calmed down when cold water hit her, and Hallet also felt relieved. Although he looked almost to have lost his composure after her intimate act, he never entertained such thoughts. As he looked at her wet face, all he felt was a strong sense of concern. 
Meanwhile, a few of them gazed at the closed door outside, rach wearing a different expression. They believed that whatever was going to happen next had already been resolved naturally. Cynthia asked in dismay, “What if Vincent finds out?” 
Then, she looked at Arnis and slapped him on the brad in anger. “It’s all because of you 
Arnis lowered his head and covered it with his hands, feeling aggrieved. Alina usually appeared kind, so he didn’t expect her to do such a thing- Arnis said seriously, “Don’t worry. I’ll provide you with an explanation” 
Cynthia refused to tolerate it. She was not one to endure grievances, nor did she like to let her anger linger. Without hesitation, she seized Arnis by the collar and walked toward Alma’s room. “Let’s go. I need an explanation now.” 
When they approached Alina’s room, they found a heated argument taking place. ‘Grandma, I’ve always been kind to you. Why are you still dwelling on Arn Yaunison’s cold, diydrased voice could be brand through the door. 
Amis, who was about to open the door, paused for a moment. Cynthia and Liam also remained still behind him. Then, Yannison continued, Tm now in charge of the Merson family. It’s a settled matter. You’re already so old, so stop getting involved in this issue. And since you are so fond of Arnis, it would be best for you to move to Rose Manor starting tomorrow.” 
Then, Alma’s voice rang out, filled with emotion. No way. This is my home. No one can make me leave,” 
After uttering those words, Alma began to cough uncontrollably. Arnis was concerned about Alma’s well–being and promptly pushed open the door. They both looked over at the same time. Alma’s eyes flashed with disappointment when she saw Armis, realizing that her plan had not succeeded. Without hesitation, Arnis hurried behind Alma, gently passing her back to help her breathe. 
Yannison observed their interaction with a cold stare, indifferent to the dynamic between them. Alma had always favored Armis since they were children, consistently prioritizing him in every family situation. As the eldest member of the family, she consistently exercised her authority to assist Arnis, often to his detriment. He thought she was elderly and incapable of causing any trouble, so he decided to overlook it. However, he didn’t anticipate that she would outlive her son and daughter–in–law. Now, she was still determined to cause trouble. Yannison declared coldly. leaving no room for debate. Tm now the head of the Merson family. According to the family’s rules, I have the authority to manage anything and anyone that is not beneficial to the family. 
He then turned to Arnis and stated icily, Take her away, or Ill resort to using other tactics.
