Chapter 143 Just Relax

If the matter wasn’t handled properly, the restaurant would surely go out of business.

With the situation taking a dire turn, Victor and his three daughters turned deathly pale.

It’s over! We’re done for. Our family’s going to be ruined because we spiked the food!

Finished

The restaurant manager, witnessing the chaos, understood the severity of the situation. Such an incident under his watch could jeopardize not only the restaurant’s reputation but also his career.

Clenching his teeth in frustration and anger, he barked at the employees. “Take them all to the police station immediately!”

Meanwhile, Matthew escorted Aurelia back to the car.

Noticing the flushed appearance of his passengers, the driver quickly surmised what had transpired. Concern etched on his face, he asked, “Mr. Quigley, should we go to the hospital?”

Matthew, unbuttoning the first two buttons of his shirt to alleviate some of his discomfort, issued a command with a deep, authoritative voice, “Call Dr. Glover.”

“Understood,” the driver responded, and promptly made the call.

Meanwhile, Aurelia’s condition began to deteriorate; she became somewhat delirious.

Although Matthew had consumed less of the tainted food, the drug had a notoriously potent effect on men, particularly in compromising their judgment–especially now that Aurelia was seated so close to him. her presence exacerbating the drug’s effects.

When he held her, he could not help but be acutely aware of the soft curves of her body against him.

In his arms, Aurelia whimpered, “When will we be home? I’m feeling really unwell.”

“Just hold on a little longer, Aurelia, Matthew reassured her, his voice deep and filled with restraint.

Aurelia’s eyes reddened, overwhelmed by a familiar discomfort and helplessness. The distress was too much, driving her to the brink of madness, a tumultuous storm of sanity and delirium swirling within her.

Despite the turmoil, she knew she could trust Matthew; she clung to him as if he were her only anchor in a raging sea.

However, Matthew was also in a sorry state. His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing labored, his body tense. He and Aurelia were both losing their grip on restraint, their bodies instinctively responding to each other’s presence, suggesting they could lose control together.

As the discomfort escalated, Matthew noticed Aurelia’s tears–not of physical pain, but of feeling deeply wronged. The sight clenched his heart mercilessly, his breath catching in his throat.

“Drive faster,” he instructed the driver with a hoarse voice.

“Right away, Mr. Quigley,” the driver replied and accelerated the Bugatti swiftly down the road.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Starry Sea Mansion, both visibly disheveled. It was unclear who initiated
