Chapter 39

Extreme Cold And Heat

Eliana tried to hold back her tears.

Since she couldn’t find Hodge, she decided to ask Maurice directly.

Turning around, she went back to the banquet hall.

In the hall, people mingled, crystal glasses in their hands.

Waiters and waitresses were shuttling among the guests, serving them.

After talking to an elderly man, Maurice walked to the table.He loosened his tie, revealing his s**y neck.

Just then, a waiter walked over to the table with a plate.

Picking up a glass of wine from him, Maurice looked around for Eliana.



Before he found her, he noticed that the waiter kept peeking at him.He suddenly turned around and
stared at the waiter, who immediately became nervous.

Maurice noticed that something was wrong, and questioned, "Who sent you here?"

His voice was low, intimidating and cold.

"I…"

Terrified, the waiter was weak in the knees and almost knelt down.

Maurice sneered and pushed the glass to him.




"Fine.Drink this."

The waiter’s hands trembled.He did not dare to take the glass of wine.

While they were in a stalemate, Eliana rushed over, gasping for breath, and heard Maurice say, "Drink
it first, and then we’ll have a nice talk.And if you refuse, then you will be facing really bad
consequences."

Eliana was so frightened that she shrank back.

Did Maurice already know what she was about to ask him? She looked at the goblet in front of her
hesitantly.

The crimson liquid inside emitted a sweet aroma.

If Maurice was willing to tell the truth, then she would not even mind drinking poison, let alone a glass
of wine.

Eliana snatched the glass from him immediately.

Maurice was shocked, but by the time he grabbed her wrist to stop her, it was already too late.

There was not even a single drop of wine left in the glass.

"Eliana! What are you doing?"

He looked at her coldly and clenched his jaw.

"Didn’t you know that something was mixed in the wine?"

"Wh…What? If there was something wrong with it, then why did you give it to me?"



Eliana looked at him as though he was a pervert.

"You took it from my hand," Maurice reminded her, gritting his teeth.

With a long face, Eliana grabbed her dress and asked, "Is it too late for me to go to the hospital now? I
just…didn’t…"

Her breath became abnormal and she staggered.

Maurice grabbed her arm, frowning.

"How are you feeling?"

"Hot."

Eliana’s cheeks were flushed and her breath became heavier.Her vision slowly turned blurry, and she
could only see a handsome man in front of her.

Feeling his cool touch, she could not help but grab his hand and snuggle up to him, his breath brushing
against her skin.She closed her eyes comfortably, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Maurice’s expression darkened.He knew that the wine was mixed with some drug.And now, it became
clear as to what was mixed in it.

"I feel so bad.Please take me to… The hospital…"

Eliana’s voice was soft and sweet.

The feeling that she was experiencing was rather new and strange to her.

Burning desire flowed through her blood, causing her body temperature to rise.



Some guests, who had just seen Maurice question the waiter, now were stunned to see her moaning.

They were all gazing at her movements.

Everyone felt that she was too bold for showing her coquetry in public so brazenly.

Maurice glanced at them coldly, scaring them.He then bent down, picked up Eliana, and strode out of
the banquet hall.
