Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 290 Tricks

The birthday banquet was about to begin.

The garden was lively and filled with guests. The melodious sound of violins and a piano reverberated in the air.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Sherman was standing in a quiet corridor, facing a tough decision.

Eloise decided to egg him further, “Sherman, drink it. I’ve already set things in motion, so you have no way out. How do you think Cedrick and Treyton will take revenge against the Ferguson family if they find out in advance?

“However, if you succeed, Cedrick will disdain Gwendolyn and break off their engagement. The Harris family will also feel embarrassed and won’t dare to confront the Ferguson family, and we will have the upper hand. By then, won’t Gwendolyn be at your mercy? Sherman!”

Sherman was backed into a corner with no way out. The expression in his eyes gradually grew resolute.

He received the glass of champagne handed to him by Eloise and gulped the content.

Satisfied, Eloise grinned in delight. “Hurry up and go upstairs. She belongs only to you tonight. Enjoy yourself!”

Mixed emotions churned within Sherman as he moved slowly up the stairs, holding onto the rail for support.

Taking in his retreating figure, Eloise quietly took out her phone and sent a message: It’s a success.

Then, she added: Check the drugs prepared for Jennifer again. Proceed as planned later. I want her reputation to be ruined!

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was being carried to Sherman’s room.

The male housekeeper placed her on the large bed and was about to remove her gown.

Before he could touch her, a pair of slender hands grasped his wrist.

The male housekeeper was stunned. He looked up and noticed Gwendolyn had awakened.

Her eyes, reflecting the colorful lights from the garden outside, shone brightly and emanated intense coldness.

She curled her glamorous red lips into a wide smile.

“W–When did you wake up? You weren’t affected by ecstasy?”

The male/housekeeper was momentarily dazed before swiftly regaining his senses. A malicious look flashed across his eyes as he hastily yanked his right arm free. Pressing his fingers together, he aimed his hand at her neck, planning to knock her unconscious.

Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and was ready to retaliate, but someone was faster than her.

A thud rang out, and the male housekeeper was knocked out from behind without any warning.

Half of his body collapsed onto the bed as he passed out cold.
