Chapter 282
Kevin said worriedly, “Dad, going back there is like walking right into the lion’s den
But Leo just shrugged. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
He narrowed his eyes. “I want to see what they’re really up to.”
Seeing how worried Kevin was, he added, “Don’t worry. I’ll bring a few bodyguards with me.”
Kevin finally nodded. “Alright, just be careful. If anything happens, call us right away.”
This time, Leo gave Mavis a heads-up and told her he’d be home tonight.
Mavis knew her husband was about to crack.
Later that evening.
Leo headed back to the old house, bringing a few bodyguards along with him.
Mavis came out to greet him, and when she saw the bodyguards, she gave him a sharp look. “Why are you bringing bodyguards home? What, you think I’m out to get you or something?”
‘Does he really not trust me at all?’ she thought.
His actions cut deep, and she was fuming.
Leo shot her a glance. “That’s exactly why.”
Mavis was left speechless for a second. ‘He really does see this house as a snake pit,’ she thought.
Leo walked into the living room and sat down, cutting straight to the chase. “What did you do to me when I came back the night before last?”
Mavis was caught off guard-she hadn’t expected him to notice.
Her eyes flickered with unease, but she forced herself to stay calm. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Mavis replied.
Leo suddenly asked, “That miracle doctor is Nicole’s real father, right? Did he have you drug me?”
Her eyes widened in shock, and Mavis blurted out, “How did you know?”
Only after she said it did she realize she’d just walked right into his trap.
She really hadn’t expected her husband to catch on.
Just yesterday, the miracle doctor had reassured them that nobody knew about his connection to Nicole, so they didn’t need to worry.
Leo’s eyes darkened. “So you really are scheming with your lover to hurt me.
“Out with it-what exactly are you after, drugging me like this?”
He’d slipped a mini recorder into his shirt pocket ahead of time.
Mavis figured she was going to have him under her thumb anyway, so she dropped the innocent act.
She said, “I just wanted to make you so dependent on me that you couldn’t leave.”
Leo let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Can’t live without you? What makes you think you’re that important?”
“The miracle doctor gave me that confidence,” Mavis shot back. She suddenly pulled a small porcelain vial from her pocket and hurled it to the floor with force.
The bottle shattered instantly, and the liquid inside spilled out.
Leo hadn’t even realized what she was about to do.
He suddenly smelled a strange herbal scent, and in an instant, his eyelids grew heavy and he passed out.
The bodyguards he’d brought started to step forward to help.
But they barely took two steps before their bodies went limp, and every single one of them crumpled to the ground.
Mavis stroked her unconscious husband’s face and said, “That miracle doctor really is impressive-he even had me make an extra backup plan.
“Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, you can forget about ever leaving me again.”
With that, she got up and put out the rest of th Successfully unlocked!
If she hadn’t lit that sleep-inducing incense first, au use activany pullon, there’s no way she could’ve handled her husband and all those bodyguards.
