Chapter 529 You’re in Big Trouble, Thomas

Wilda checked almost all the rooms inside their villa, but she couldn't manage to find Noah anywhere. She grew more and more anxious at the thought that Shane might have done something to the man.

Eventually, she decided to head over to Shane's room.

I'll ask Grandpa about Mr. Quincy's whereabouts, and maybe I'll put in a good word for him too.

Just then, she bumped into Noah while she was exiting a room. As the morning light shining through the window fell across the man's face, Wilda found Noah looking even more dashing and radiant than he was yesterday.

Noah greeted her, "Good morning, Ms. Wilda."

Wilda's cheeks flushed pink upon hearing his deep, husky voice. "I've been looking everywhere for you, Mr. Quincy. Where were you?"

"Is something the matter?" Noah replied smoothly without answering her question.

Wilda was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she did not even realize Noah had tactfully changed the topic. "Yesterday, Grandpa…"

"There was a minor misunderstanding between Mr. Harvey and me yesterday, but we managed to resolve the issue in the end. There's nothing for you to worry about now, Ms. Wilda," Noah said expressionlessly.

However, Wilda seemed to be able to pick up the faint hint of joy in Noah's eyes. Her heart was filled with delight as she thought that Noah was happy to see her as well.

"Are you returning to Imperia soon, Mr. Quincy?" She followed behind him as the man started walking down the corridor.

At the same time, Elise happened to open her door and saw the pair walk past her room. She rolled her eyes when she saw Wilda going after Noah like a puppy following its master.

"What are you looking at?" Dylan stuck his face next to hers at that moment. Elise's heart missed a beat as she felt his hot breath against her neck.

As memories of what happened between them last night came back to her, Elise felt her indignation rising. She took a step further away from Dylan and scowled at him. Then, she slammed the door shut.

As it turned out, Dylan and Elise had spent the night together. However, Elise kicked the man off the bed as soon as she opened her eyes.

"I'll forget everything that happened between us last night. You are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone about this!" Elise warned him through gritted teeth.

The light in Dylan's eyes went dark when he heard those words. He stared at Elise with a frown on his face. "How could you ever forget something like that?"

Before coming to this place, I was worried that she might turn me down at some point. However, after last night, I thought she had forgiven me and was willing to accept me.

"Why can't I? Would you prefer that I press charges on you for forcing yourself on me last night then?" Elise rolled her eyes again.

Dylan fell silent. Then, he fixed Elise with a sad, piercing gaze.

"What?!" Elise felt as though his gaze was about to bore into her.

"I want to take responsibility for what happened last night!"

"I don't need you to do that!"

I do have feelings for Dylan. However, things got a bit awkward between us due to some misunderstandings. So, I decided to take things easy and go with the flow for the time being.

However, I didn't expect him to come at me like that last night. I won't accept such ruthless behavior from a man!

Well, maybe it was partly my fault too since I had accepted his advances at first. Dylan seemed to have lost his restraints only after I had given him the green light.

Still, if I knew he would keep me up for the entire night like that, I would have just knocked him out with that ashtray in the room.

Upon seeing the steely and determined look in Elise's eyes, Dylan was overcome with a sense of dejection and defeat. He sat down on the edge of the bed, looking extremely gloomy and depressed.

Outside their room, Thomas hid in a dark corner not too far away as he watched Noah and Wilda go down the corridor. Judging by the expression on Noah's face, Thomas could tell that his father was in a good mood. He felt slightly relieved after confirming that.

Next, the young child went to Lucas's room and tried to open his door. Unfortunately, the door was locked, so Thomas tried knocking on it. Yet no one answered the door, no matter how long he waited.

Eventually, Thomas gave up waiting and went to Dylan's room. He tried to turn the doorknob again. To his surprise, the door was unlocked, and he found Dylan and Elise inside.

However, his heart sank as he noticed the saddened expression on Dylan's face. Also, it seemed like Elise was getting ready to leave and was in no mood to speak.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Thomas treaded quietly and carefully into the room. Then, he lightly poked at Dylan's arm. "What's the matter with you?"

Dylan focused his gaze on Thomas. Then, it finally occurred to him what had actually happened last night.

This kid added some type of aphrodisiac into my water last night! I only started feeling weird after drinking the water that he offered to me!

Though I wished I could use the opportunity to start a relationship with Elise, I knew it was wrong of me to force myself on her like that yesterday.

She's gotten so upset about it that she won't even forgive me, no matter what I said earlier.

"You! Explain it to Elise! It was because of you who drugged me last night. That's why I…"

"Uncle Dylan, do you think Auntie Elise would believe me even if I admit to doing that?" Thomas looked at him apologetically.

Dylan paused for a brief moment. Then, he threw back his head and heaved a long sigh.

"Uncle Lucas and Auntie Mia are still not up. I've knocked on their door for a long time, but no one came to answer it." Thomas swallowed hard and said in a small voice.

Dylan's eyes flew open in surprise. "How many people did you drug last night?"

"You, Uncle Lucas, and Daddy." Thomas lowered his head in embarrassment.

I didn't do that on purpose… The three of them were busy discussing several matters last night, so I thought I should bring them some water.

When I had finished pouring the last cup of water, the pill that was hidden in my sleeve slipped out and fell into that cup. I quickly scooped the pill out. However, I accidentally dropped the pill into the second cup since my hand was wet. I took the pill out again, but the same thing happened for the third cup…

I tried to check the water by smelling them, but I couldn't detect anything strange. At that time, Uncle Dylan called out to me to hurry and bring them the water. So, I took those cups and gave them the water.

"Kid, you're in big trouble." Dylan glanced over his shoulder in the direction of the bathroom. Elise had gone inside to take a shower. He sighed slightly and got up to take Thomas to see Lucas.

Just as they were about to reach Lucas's room, the door swung open and a man rushed out of the room in a hurry. Thomas and Dylan saw Lucas walking past them while carrying Mia in his arms. A trail of blood followed behind the pair.

"You're officially in big trouble, kid." Dylan hurriedly told Thomas to return to his room. Then, he went after Lucas at once.

Soon enough, Noah and Madeline learned of the news too.

Noah was with Wilda when her family's butler came running to her. The butler reported that Lucas was trying to leave the villa with Mia. When he was denied permission to leave, Lucas started beating up the bodyguards stationed at the front gate.

As for Madeline, she found out about the incident when Thomas went to her in tears and confessed everything that had happened up till that morning.
