The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 575

When Evelyn realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

She stared at Aaron in utter disbelief.

She never imagined that someone Brooks considered a friend would drug her.

This was her first time meeting Aaron; Evelyn couldn't fathom why he would do this to her.

Only one thought echoed in her mind: Get out of this room, now.

She staggered to her feet, but her body felt weak and unsteady. The world spun around her, and she collapsed back onto the plush sofa.

She could feel her consciousness slipping away.

Aaron sat nearby, watching her coldly.

The wine wasn't just laced with an aphrodisiac—it also contained a sedative that would make Evelyn briefly lose consciousness.

The plan was simple: by the time Evelyn woke up, the drug would have taken full effect, and she would naturally end up in Brooks' arms.

Just before Evelyn succumbed to the darkness, her hand fumbled across the coffee table and landed on a steak knife. In a desperate act of self-preservation, she tried to slash her own thigh.

Aaron broke out in a cold sweat. He reacted instantly, grabbing Evelyn's wrist and wrenching the knife from her grasp. He hurried to explain himself.

"Ms. Evelyn, you don't need to be afraid. You're Brooks' beloved-I have no interest in you. The drug was only meant to help you and Brooks."

But Evelyn couldn't fight the effects of the drug. Her strength failed her, and she went limp, sinking into unconsciousness.
