Chapter 63
Looking at Nicole’s sincere expression, Aaron was momentarily at a loss for words.
But he clearly remembered what had just happened.
His gaze toward Nicole shifted, taking on a playful and probing edge. After being drugged, did Nicole really feel nothing for him at all? Even when she was doing acupuncture on him, hereves didn’t flicker with the slightest bit of emotion.
When did he… become this pathetic?
But the more indifferent Nicole was, the more intrigued he became
Aaron’s eyes flickered, and then the comers of his lips curled into a barely noticeable smirk.
Monica really had the guts She even dared to drug him.
Even without evidence, he had no trouble suspecting her.
Nicole frowned and said, “Mr. Compton, since you were drugged at the Boyd Corporation banquet, then it had to be someone at the banquet who did it.
“Why not take the residue from the wine glass for testing? That way, you can analyze the drug’s composition and trace where it came from.”
She remembered how she had rushed to the restroom to vomit at first, feeling dizzy and barely avoiding making a fool of herself.
She hadn’t expected Aaron to have beenaffected, too.
Seeing this, Aaron looked at Nicole. “Are you that worried about me?
“Hm?” Nicole looked up at Aaron, and their eyes locked before she could react. She had no idea what was about to happen next
When he stared into the clear, bright eyes of hers, he suddenly felt the urge to mess with her. Without warning, he reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in front of him.
In that instant, Nicole’s breath caught, and her eyes widened with shock as she stared at Aaron.
When she looked into his deep eyes, she suddenly grew alert. Could it be that the drug hadn’t wom off yet?
straight for Aaron’s forehead.
Without hesitation, Nicole yanked open the toolbox and grabbed a set of silver needles, aiming st
Aaron knew very well that silver needles had to be placed precisely on acupuncture points, or it could be dangerous.
He immediately wiped the smile from his face and pulled Nicole into his arms, using one hand to block her from stabbing him.
“Nicole, that’s pretty ruthless of you, going at your fiancé with silver needles like that?”
Nicole’s eyes widened in disbelief, her face flushed red, and her breathing faltered. “Mr. Compton, please don’t joke like that. I’m being serious.” Aaron narrowed his eyes, then suddenly said, “We’re a man and a woman alone in a room. Nicole, do you really not have any thoughts about it?” Thoughts?
The next second, a vivid image flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t imagine something like that happening to her.
“Mr. Compton, I saved you, and this is how you repay me?”
Seeing that Nicole was truly scared and nervous, Aaron felt a little defeated. He wasn’t some land of beast, and he didn’t look that bad. Why was she so resistant But in the end, he reined himself in and pulled her up, raising both hands to show he meant to ham. “I won’t touch you. There’s no need to be afraid.”
She was still visibly shalom, pot daring to trust him so easily.
After all, he made her realize something
Having a man and a woman alone in the room was already a dangerous situation.
So even atter they separated, Nicole still gripped the silver needles tightly, unwilling to let go, afraid Aaron might try something again at any moment.
