Chapter 246 Going To Kill Him
“You were about to inject me with this, weren’t you?” Jefferson asked, his gaze dark.
Fear crept into Naomi’s heart, and her arms started to shake, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not climb back upright.
In the next instance, the needle was inserted into her arm.
Once the syringe’s contents were in Naomi’s bloodstream, Jefferson grabbed her chin and forced her to look at his gentle smile. “Tell Arnaud I’m going to kill him.”
Naomi’s eyes widened, and she panted.
Then, Jefferson threw her off the bed, snatched the chair, and smashed the computer. Without even changing his clothes, he left.
When his subordinate in the corridor saw him, he hurried over and greeted, “Mr. Hamilton.”
“Scram!” Jefferson roared before shoving his subordinate away. A metallic tang rushed up his throat, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Weakly, he supported himself against the wall.
“Arnaud! Montail!” Jefferson closed his eyes. Recalling what he saw in the surveillance camera, he grounded out, “I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”
When Curtis came back to the waking land, he woke up with the headache of the year. Then, he noticed something heavy on his chest, and that sobered him up immediately.
It was then he recalled driving to the club and seeing Stephanie entering the room.
Once his eyes were used to the dim lights in the room, he realized there was a woman sprawled on his chest. That certain scent was still strong in the air, and he knew what that meant.
D*mn it.
A homicidal thought formed in Curtis’ mind. Just as he was about to pull the woman away from him, he spotted the pearl earring on the woman’s earlobe and froze.
He had seen that earring many, many times.
While he was still in a daze, the woman sprawled on him woke up. She looked at him groggily and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Curtis let out a sigh of relief upon registering her face.
Thank goodness it’s her.
“I’m so tired,” Rayna mumbled hoarsely, the exhaustion audible in her voice.

She lowered her head to plant a kiss on his chest. Thinking that the drug was still not out of his system, she muttered, “Let me sleep for a little longer, okay? My waist hurts…”
The spot she kissed heated up, and that heat wormed its way into his heart. He could not help but hug her and kiss her hair.
“Why is your heart beating quicker?” Rayna questioned, sober from her worry. “Do you feel unwell?”
It’s already been one night, but he’s still feeling like this?
At that moment, Rayna felt the urge to skin Stephanie alive.
After rubbing her cheek on the man’s chest, she sighed and said, “All right. I’ll help you out, but I can’t stand, so I’ll help you in another way, okay?”
Rayna kissed his lips before letting her kisses trail downward.
When Curtis saw the hickey on her bare shoulder, he quickly pulled her up and said, “You don’t need to do that.”
“Are you uncomfortable?” Rayna asked as she lifted her head. It was then she realized that the man had clear, bright eyes. She stiffened. Then, her face heated up and turned red.
Flustered, she hung her head and cried out, “This is so embarrassing!”
What was I just doing?
When she heard the man’s quiet chuckle, she hammered his chest and huffed, half-embarrassed and half-mad. “Why are you still laughing? You gave me such a scare last night! You were nearly raped, you know?”
“All right, I won’t laugh anymore.” Curtis embraced her. “Thank you for protecting my reputation, Ms. Garland.”
Rayna felt strange to hear that.
Then, she stiffened when she heard that she was apparently the one who invited him to the club. “But I didn’t send you any message. The company had a gathering last night, and I was having a meal with my coworkers.”
“Did anyone use your phone?”
Rayna shook her head. “I had it with me the entire time, but my account was logged into last afternoon.”
“It looks like this was premeditated.” Curtis sneered. “How dare they make a move on me on my territory. They must think that it’s their time to die!”
“I thought Stephanie was interested in you,” Rayna said, realizing that she had underestimated the complexity of the matter. “Someone must have instructed Stephanie to do this.”
Curtis took her hand to his lips to kiss it. “That’s why you were in a rush to come last night?”
“Stop kissing me.” Even Rayna’s fingers were starting to heat up. She could not even sit upright even if she wanted to, so she resorted to merely glaring at him. “Look what you’ve done! You were so aggressive last night.”
I shouldn’t have come here to suffer for the whole night!
“Does it hurt really badly? Let me take a look.”
“Curtis Faymon!” Rayna bellowed before wrapping the blanket around her tightly. At the same time, she kicked him down from the couch. She was angry, but she was also scared that he would do something to her.
In a resigned voice, Curtis said, “I just wanted to…”
“Shut up!”
After getting showered with the random things Rayna threw at him, Curtis zipped his mouth and put on his pants. Glancing at her torn dress, he quietly made a call and walked out of the room.
When Jeremy came with a set of new clothes, he had a barely-concealed smile on his face.
Curtis was close to giving him a beating at that.
Rayna then took the clothes to get changed in the restroom. After coming back out, she saw Curtis walking over to the wall lamp and taking something out of it.
“Was it switched on the entire night?” Rayna’s face turned as white as a sheet when she figured out what the item was. “Did I show up in a video on those dirty websites last night?”
Again, she felt the urge to murder Stephanie.
Curtis’ expression was dark, too. As he took apart the tiny camera, he consoled, “No. I’ll deal with this myself.”
“I can’t believe you can still say that!” Rayna cried out. “This won’t hurt you at all! Argh! Curtis, why are you so stupid to have come to this club?”
