Nelson nodded, "Yes sir, I understand."
After a moment of silence, Colton asked,
"Where is Stephen?"
Nelson answered fluently, "Since being expelled from the Rolan family, he has been staying in the imperial capital, indulging in places of pleasure and becoming quite decadent."
Colton sneered, "Make arrangements to return to the imperial capital.
This time, let's start with him."
"Yes sir."
Nelson looked at his boss's gloomy expression and suddenly wondered if Redford was not fond of Stephen for a long time?
It seemed not only because of the poisoning incident!
Imperial Capital.
"Redford family, Rolan's family... My grandfather, my parents... None of them are any good, they don't take me seriously!
They kicked me out of the company in public!"
Stephen was drinking to drown his sorrows and became disorderly when drunk, nearly smashing the bar and frightening the bartender to call the police.
"I will compensate for the damage here."
A deliberately low-pitched female voice came.
The bartender only saw a familiar figure walking towards Stephen, trying to figure out who it was...
Then his view was blocked by a tall and robust bodyguard.
The man handed him a card, "Compensate with this card!"
"Stephen... Stephen Rolan?" Sonia looked at the drunk Stephen, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
She instructed the bodyguards to send him to the hotel room and then made a phone call to the housekeeper in New York, "Is there any reply from dr. Claris?"
"She didn't refuse, but she's not willing to meet easily."
The housekeeper hesitated, "It seems that dr. Claris wants to test us somehow... Maybe all these mysterious families have such quirks.
Back then, the renowned doctor, Mason, had even stranger habits..."
"What else does she want!
Lately, she's made all sorts of weird requests – having me copy scriptures a hundred times, observing fasting and bathing for seven days, traveling on foot to temples, worshipping and burning incense for God, recording videos of me personally taking care of my mother's daily needs..."
Thinking of what she had gone through recently, Sonia's face turned somewhat pale, and her tone was aggrieved, "I'm willing to do all these things for my mother and Colton.
But dr. Claris still refuses to make his stance clear...
Housekeeper, does he have a grudge against me and purposely tormenting me?"
The housekeeper also felt sorry for Sonia's sincerity, "Miss, don't worry.
The sir and the younger brother have checked Dr. Claris's background.
Her medical practices are indeed strange, and his demands are extremely harsh!
But as long as we follow them, she should keep her word...
Perhaps, dr. Claris just wants to test your filial piety towards the lady."
Sonia was just venting her anger.
Upon hearing the explanation, she nodded and asked, "What are her new demands?"
"This time, she..." The housekeeper's tone was somewhat odd, "She wants you to pay respects to your foster parents!"
With a clang, Sonia accidentally knocked over the cup beside her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a strange premonition suddenly emerged – could Claris really know her?
"Sonia, how did you get here?"
At this moment, Stephen, half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly embraced Sonia.
His hands began to wander, and the butler seemed to hear a man's voice, "Miss, are you with Mr. Redford?"
"Ah... Yes, I have to take care of him."
Sonia replied perfunctory and hung up hastily.
Just now, the butler mentioned her foster parents, and she thought of the photo Jennifer sent her, causing her breath to become rapid.
"Stephen!"
Sonia suddenly grabbed Stephen's hand, turned around to hug him tightly, and whispered, "Today, you're in this state not because of your parents, nor the Redford family.
It's all Jennifer's plot!"
Stephen raised his eyes in a daze, "Jennifer?"
"...Yes, it's her!"
Thinking of Jennifer vomiting before, a cold light flickered in Sonia's eyes.
She then leaned down, whispering in his ear, "Don't forget, in her eyes, we're the enemies who caused the death of the Williams couple!
She won't let you or me go...
What should we do?
I'm so scared!"
"Don't be afraid!
Jennifer is nothing without the Redford Mansion!"
Stephen suddenly became angry, "I almost had her right in front of that blind man Colton Redford bed!
Now, I want her to desire life but not get it, and desire death but not die!"
Sonia lay in his arms, her voice warm with praise, "...I knew you'd have a way." ...
That night, at Gravity Club.
Jennifer received an invitation from Liam.
She rushed to the private room only to find no one there, just a table covered with various types of alcohol.
A faint scent mixed with a hint of medicine lingered in the air, mingling with the room's original rose fragrance, a scent indistinguishable to ordinary people.
However, Jennifer had a keen nose due to her medical background and immediately detected that something was wrong – the scent had aphrodisiac properties.
There was fraud here!
The person who invited her must not be Liam!
Jennifer turned to leave, but the private room's door wouldn't budge.
She had personally designed the security system of the Gravity Club, and it was top-notch.
Once locked, it could not be opened by ordinary means.
However, unless there were special circumstances, the door of the private room should not be locked.
This password lock can only be controlled from the multimedia control center and requires the consent of high-level management personnel.
It seems that the other party went to great lengths to trick them in.
"Jennifer, it has been a long time."
At this moment, the door in the room opened, and Stephen, dressed in a flamboyant manner, slowly walked in.
His eyes swept across Jennifer's slender body like a searchlight, touching his chin, "You are getting more and more tender!
Colton is blind for not appreciating your charm.
What a pity."
Jennifer's eyes narrowed dangerously,
"…It's you!"
"Surprise or not, unexpected or not?"
Stephen walked over shamelessly.
Not knowing that Jennifer was a divine doctor and assuming that she hadn't discovered the poison, he saw her face was flushed and thought the drug had taken effect.
Excitedly, he approached and wrapped his arms around Jennifer's shoulders, "As the saying goes, nothing is better than eating cakes and having fun with…"
With a slap!
Jennifer slapped his face and shook her tingling palm, "Stephen Rolan, you're courting death!"
"You dare to hit me?"
Stephen was angry, but as he looked at the fiercely gorgeous woman, he was somewhat confused,
"No!
How can you still have so much strength…"
This drug was a recent acquisition for him, only obtainable by pulling some strings.
Unless someone was a divine doctor, it was impossible to detect its presence.
One sniff would cause someone to feel weak and overwhelmed by desire, and they would lose their sanity and throw themselves at a man…
Why had Jennifer shown no reaction after being here for so long?
"Stephen, do you really think I'm easy to manipulate?
Today, I'll settle all the debts you've accrued in the Redford Mansion!"
Jennifer counterattacked with a single move, stepping on Stephen and pinning him to the ground with a long table, leaving only his panic-stricken head exposed.
"Jennifer, what… what do you want to do?
Let me go!"
"I'll feed you some aphrodisiacs, an eye for an eye!"
Jennifer sneered and circled the room.
She easily found the pill hidden in the incense and sniffed it.
At this point, most of it had already melted, with only the seed-sized pill remaining.
However, one of the ingredients in this drug would double its potency when dissolved in alcohol!
Jennifer tossed the pill into a bottle of wine, shook it, and pried open Stephen's mouth, forcing the liquid down his throat.
"You like playing with women?
Today, I'll make you Stephen play till your kidneys give out!"
