Chapter 388
388:
The moment he caught sight of Fernanda, he approached quickly, his voice filled with urgency. “Have you seen Linsey?”
Fernanda’s eyes narrowed at his impatience, a flicker of disdain creeping up. What was so captivating about Linsey? How did she manage to capture both Collin’s and Gorman’s attention so completely? She was like a siren, weaving her spell on every man she met.
Fernanda silently judged her, but her smile remained sweet, a mask of politeness. She gestured toward the lounge, her finger tracing an arc in the air as she whispered to Gorman, “Mr. Green, I’ve got a little surprise waiting for you. I hope you’ll enjoy it.”
With that, Fernanda gave him a knowing smile and added, “But I wonder… once it’s all said and done, will you really keep your word and free Huntley?”
Gorman, assuming she was talking about arranging a meeting with Linsey, chuckled, his tone laid-back. “Are you questioning my abilities?”
“No, no, of course not,” Fernanda quickly reassured him, her voice dripping with praise. “Mr. Green, your influence stretches across all of Grester. Whatever you wish to do is naturally within your reach.”
She flashed him another smile and continued, “Don’t worry about meeting Linsey. I’ve taken care of everything. No one will get in your way, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased.”
After speaking, Fernanda turned and walked away, not bothering to linger.
Now, all she had to do was wait for Gorman to succeed and keep his promise. Maybe, when the time was right, she could even bring that worthless man, Collin, into the mix…
The thought of Collin’s reaction when he found out his beloved wife had been unfaithful made her smile.

Once Fernanda was gone, Gorman felt a sudden wave of nervousness. His eyes locked on the door of the lounge, his heartbeat quickening. All his efforts over the past few days hadn’t been for nothing—Linsey was finally ready to come back to him and start over.
Gorman couldn’t stop the excitement bubbling inside him. As long as Linsey was willing to be with him, he would cherish her and make her the happiest woman alive.
But in that moment, his emotions began to swirl uncontrollably. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and slowly pushed open the lounge door.
To his surprise, the room was pitch black—not at all the kind of place where someone would be waiting.
Gorman’s brow furrowed in confusion as he stepped inside.
Could Fernanda be playing games with him?
“The audacity!” The excitement in Gorman’s eyes quickly morphed into a sharp, menacing glare.
Just as anger began to surge, a strange scent floated through the air. In an instant, he recognized it—a potent aphrodisiac, unmistakable in its intensity.
Years of surviving assassination attempts and devious traps had taught him to recognize such tactics quickly.
It didn’t take him long to connect the dots.
Was this the “surprise” Fernanda had hinted at?
Fernanda claimed she could handle Linsey, yet she resorted to drugging her? The audacity was shocking. Gorman’s mood darkened by the minute.
