Chapter 408

Fortunately, the medical base wasn't far from the Xuereb residence. It was a twenty-minute drive away, but one could make it in ten if one were to hurry.

Despite her efforts, Scarlett began to grow anxious when she failed to strip Justin's bathrobe off.

Olivia had informed her that the drug was extremely potent. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to resist it for more than ten minutes.

However, now that twenty minutes had passed and Justin still maintained his presence of mind, she couldn't help but admire his willpower while worrying about how the situation was unfolding.

In the end, driven by desperation, she threw herself into his arms and pushed him onto the bed.

Justin had reached the limit of his resistance. He was close to losing his rationality in another minute or two.

His eyes were red as he stared at Scarlett, who was consumed by her obsession.

Raising his hand up high, he swung it down on her neck and knocked her unconscious.

The entire struggle had carried on for more than ten minutes.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, Justin staggered into the bathroom and dipped his head into cold water.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that a dark figure flashed across the full-length windows of his room, heralding Veronique's arrival.

After a quick scan of the surroundings, she found Scarlett lying on the floor.

Thinking of how such a beautiful girl was willing to sacrifice her dignity for love, Veronique let out a sigh.

Even though she, too, had been obsessed with Justin once, it never occurred to her to resort to such unscrupulous measures to force his hand. Getting pregnant with Zephyr was a result of circumstances out of her control.

Why did you have to bet everything on a pipe dream? What's the use of forcing the matter when his heart clearly doesn't belong to you?

As the sound of flowing water rang out from the bathroom, she rushed inside without further hesitation.

The moment she opened the door, the condition Justin was in gave her a shock.

F*ck, what a potent drug! But I shouldn't be surprised. Justin's mother does know him like the back of her hand. She must have gone all out with the knowledge that ordinary drugs have no effect on him. I can't believe how ruthless she is. If Justin resisted till the end, wouldn't she end up killing him? If word gets out that he was killed by his mother...
