Chapter 873 Leia's Scheme

On the other side of town.

When Leia woke up in the private room, she realized that she was naked and her body was in pain.

She was alone in the private room.

After a brief period of confusion, Leia knew what had happened to her.

It was because there were countless bruises on her body.

A bag containing white powder was placed on the sofa and there was a note under it.

Leia took it and saw Cree's messy handwriting.

[Ms. Norman, you're not bad. We're in business. This is what you need. Would be happy to work with you again.]

Leia was so furious that she crumpled the note.

She shuddered with disgust at the thought of having slept with such a good -for-nothing the night before.

However, she needed this drug. She knew that Cree had slept with her. It happened only once, but what came to her mind was the scene of her doing it with Cree countless times...

When she ran to the bathroom, Leia vomited everything that was in her stomach and cursed Charmaine and everyone related to her.

She immediately called Charmaine, but her phone was turned off.

Leia smashed her phone to the floor, turned on the shower, and scrubbed every inch of her body.

The hot water hurt her skin. Leia could not help but curse Cree. She then quickly put on her clothes and left the private room with the white powder.

At night.

A high-end French restaurant.

The piano played in the background of the restaurant. Rows of beautiful French phoenix trees were outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Countless twinkling fairy lights were hanging on the trees, which emphasized the elegance of this high-end restaurant.

At the corner of the restaurant, there were pots of fragrant flowers.

A man and a woman sat behind the flowerpots.

The man was in a suit, leather shoes, and had the trendiest hairstyle. He stared at the well-dressed woman, his thin lips slightly curled.

That woman was Leia, who had spent the night with Cree in the private room just before.

The man was Brody Hilton, who had been on a blind date with her once.

Brody propped his head and held Leia’s slender hand that was on the table. He had a big smile on his face as he said, "Leia, I'm so happy to see you. Why are you free for a date today? Whenever I asked you out before this, you'd say you have no time or are busy with work... The food here is to your liking, right?"

Initially, Brody was indifferent to Leia.

However, Leia was skilled in seducing men and breadcrumbed him. She would flirt with him while maintaining a distance.

Brody had been obsessed with Leia recently.

Leia acted shy and withdrew her hand, saying softly, "I’ve been overwhelmed recently, so I haven't been able to go on a date with you. It won’t be like this in the future. The food here is delicious, but..."

As soon as he saw Leia frowning, Brody straightened his back and said," But what? Leia, tell me straight."

Leia glanced at the various desserts on the table and pursed her bright red lips slightly. "The food here is expensive. I think it's wasteful that the two of us ordered so many dishes."

Brody was satisfied, thinking that Leia was a caring and loving woman. He thought that although she came from a family of officials, she had the traits of a diligent and thrifty housewife.

He chuckled, took her hand again, and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. "Leia, I like you, so I'm willing to give you the best. The Hilton family can more than afford it, so you don’t have to worry. From now on, what's mine will be yours."

Leia resisted the urge to withdraw her hand. She was racking her brain thinking of a way to distract Brody.

A moment later, he spoke again.

Brody rubbed his stomach with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "Leia, my stomach feels off. I need to use the bathroom. Give me a second."

Leia nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Brody walked in the direction of the bathroom.

A few minutes after he left, Leia took out the white powder from her bag.

She looked around cautiously, making sure that no one was looking her way. Then, she raised her lips into a sneer and shook the powder into Brody's glass of red wine.

Leia gently shook the cup, her expression looking complicated and cruel.' Brody, I don’t want to do this either, but I have no choice. You say that you like me, and I want to see how much your so-called interest is worth. I would've never paid any attention to weird men like you in the past. Now that I'm giving you a chance to marry me, you should count your lucky stars. Many men are infertile and can't have heirs. When we get married, you’ll be a father. You're in luck!"

Brody came back from the bathroom and saw Leia staring at his wine glass in a daze. He could not help but put his hands over her shoulders curiously. "Leia, what are you thinking about?"

Leia was taken back by Brody's voice. She almost broke out in a cold sweat.

She was obviously flustered.

However, she carefully observed Brody's expression and glanced at his red wine again. She made sure that he had not noticed anything. Then, she hammered him in the chest.

She took the opportunity and handed him the red wine. "How could you? Why did you go to the bathroom for so long? I thought you had left. I'm almost done. Brody, let's leave after this last glass of wine..."

Brody looked at the coquettish Leia and his heart softened.

He took the red wine unsuspectingly and took a sip. "Of course, my love."

Seeing that he only took a sip, Leia kept staring at his glass and her tone was anxious as she said, "It’s the weekend tomorrow, it's time for you to relax. Do you want to go see a movie together later? I’ll wake up early tomorrow and cook you your favorite food."

Brody nodded. He was overjoyed that Leia was being kind to him and immediately chugged the red wine.

Leia pursed her lips in satisfaction when she saw that he had finished it. Brody was oblivious to Leia’s scheme.

After the meal, they planned to go to the cinema. Brody was supposed to drive. Content © 2024.

However, when he got to the driver's seat, he lost consciousness for a moment and Leia grabbed him in time so he did not fall to the ground.

"Brody, are you okay?" Leia struggled to support Brody and faked her concern.

Brody shook his head, feeling as though he was losing his sense of reality." I don't know what's going on. My head feels dizzy, let's head back..."

Leia exhausted all her strength and forced Brody into the passenger seat." You're not feeling well. Let me drive you home. Your house..."

Before she could finish, Brody passed out in the passenger seat and lost consciousness.

Leia looked at Brody and breathed a sigh of relief. A chilly look appeared in her eyes...
