Chapter 329
Both of them tumbled to the ground.
Tarquin passed out cold, and Elysia, retracting her acupuncture needle, shoved him away with all her might.
Without wasting a second, she rudely unbuttoned his suit and shirt, yanking it to expose his shoulder p>
The sight of the deep bite mark on his shoulder made Elysia’s breath hitch, p>
It was only when she felt like she was about to suffocate that she finally let out a gasp, stepping back in horror p>
It was really him!
It was really him p>
It was really him p>
Trembling, shaking, retreating p>
Even though she had always suspected it was him, suspicion was after all just suspicion-nothing compared to the shock, the fear, the anger that confirmation brought!
Memories flooded back, overwhelming her like a tidal wave!
She forgot how to breathe, as if she was drowning, retreating step by step to a corner, squatting down, staring at Tarquin in terror!
Fear, anxiety, anger, rage, injustice, resentment… all these negative emotions converged, pressing down on her like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.
When she could no longer hold it in, she lost control and screamed out loud,
“Ah ah ah p>
Lowell and Benjamin had been standing by the door the whole time. Hearing the commotion, they rushed in.
And then they saw it p>
Tarquin, disheveled, lying on the ground, Elysia cowering in a corner, screaming her lungs out.
“Ms. Thorne p>
“Tarquin p>
As soon as they spoke, Elysia suddenly got up, crying, and ran towards the door, only to faint again after a few steps.
Lowell and Benjamin were flabbergasted, p>
Half an hour later, Tarquin woke up.
Lowell was at the bedside. Seeing Tarquin awake, he immediately asked, “How do you feel? Are you okay p>
Tarquin instinctively touched the back of his head, feeling a needle-like pain at the back of his neck.
Lowell explained,
“You were probably knocked out by Ms. Thorne with an acupuncture needle. When we entered the room, you were already unconscious. Ms. Thorne was in a corner, screaming as if she was terrified. Seeing us enter, she tried to run but fainted as soon as she got up p>
Tarquin sat up, noticing his clothes were open, and frowned, p>
Lowell continued,
“That’s how we found you when we entered. Not sure if you undressed yourself or if Ms. Thorne did p>
Before Tarquin could speak, Lowell hesitantly asked,
“Tarquin, did you try to… with Ms. Thorne today? You’re disheveled, and Ms. Thorne was so terrified. She was still screaming even in her unconscious state, shouting for someone to leave, then pleading, crying ‘please don’t, please don’t Clearly, she was frightened, as if she was molested This ‘someone’ referred to Tarquin!
He suspected that Tarquin attempted to molest Elysia, and in her emotional turmoil, she defended herself by knocking Tarquin out with the needle. Tarquin’s lips tightened in anger, his face turning black with rage as he snapped at Lowell,
“Did you leave your brain at home today p>
“I… It’s not that I’m overthinking. It’s just Ms. Thorne’s state… She kept saying ‘please don’t, please don’t p>
Please don’t, please don’t?
The scene from the airport lounge six years ago suddenly flashed through his mind!
Back then p>
As if realizing something, Tarquin’s brow furrowed deeply, and he turned to pull off his shirt, exposing his shoulder.
Seeing the deep bite mark, Tarquin’s expression went through a rapid change!
It seemed like he realized something, his eyes filled with urgency as he asked Lowell,
“Where’s Elysia p>
