After the meal, Cassie and Jennifer excused themselves and left. Before Cassie could walk far, a car stopped in front of her.

Narrowing her eyes at the man in the car, she asked, “Are you following me, June?”

“Why would I do that? I just asked your friends, and Ms. Larson said she was with you.” June got out and went around the car to the passenger’s seat. He opened the door for Cassie like a gentleman and beckoned her to get in. “Please get in, honey.”

Cassie’s reaction was to turn on her heels to leave.

June strode to catch up to her. Grabbing her hand, he laughed. “Honey, I only want to give you a lift home. Please, give me the chance. I promise I’ll leave immediately after I drop you off.”

Cassie shot him a look suspiciously.

June’s expression turned solemn as he vowed, “I swear.”

Cassie snorted at his vow but still got in the car in the end.

June got in the driver’s seat, then helped her buckle her seatbelt. He even offered her a can of Coke. “Have some.”

Cassie stared at the can of Coke and rejected, “No, thanks.”

“Honey, be good. Have a sip.”

“Did you drug it?”

“Yeah. I put a lot of sedatives in it. Once you drink it, I’ll drag you to a deserted area, then rape and kill you after. Are you scared now?”

“Crazy b*stard.” Cassie rolled her eyes. Snatching the Coke from him, she downed the entire can in one gulp.

“Start the car,” she demanded after throwing the empty can away.

June started the car and put on some light music. Listening to the music, Cassie felt her eyelids drooping. Before long, Cassie had drifted off to dreamland.

June patted her head and chuckled. “Honey, I already said I drugged it, yet you still don’t believe me.”

He parked the car with a malicious grin and reached for Cassie’s purse. He dug through the contents until his fingers encircled the bottle of drugs. After reading the description on the bottle in detail, he drove to a private clinic.

“Thomas, can you check if there’s a problem with this drug?” June handed the bottle to a doctor in a white robe.

“Sure, give me half an hour.” Thomas took it and went to the back of his clinic.

Half an hour later, he came back out front with the bottle in hand. “June, this drug is not even on the market yet. I have never even seen it before. So I’ve checked its content and found out there were a large number of hallucinogenic elements in it. It can cause the person taking the drugs to have hallucinations and weaken the mind. In more severe cases, it can even cause death.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah. Do you not trust my skill as a doctor?”

June took the bottle and said, “Got it. Thanks, Thomas. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

Thomas shrugged and chuckled. “Can I ask where did you get that drug, June? It seems new. Even I have never seen it before. Do you mind telling me which genius produced it?”

“Sorry, can’t tell you that,” June answered, then excused himself. “I’ll be taking my leave then.”

“All right, see you around.”

Thomas didn’t push June for answers.

After June left the clinic, he called Jennifer right away. “Ms. Larson, I didn’t ask you to harm Cassie when I requested that we collaborate. Why did you give her a whole bottle of hallucinogens? What are you scheming?”

Jennifer didn’t feel embarrassed even though June had seen through her scheme. “Cassie was the one who asked me for it. She wanted to drug Oscar but didn’t want him to die right away. She’s planning to torture him with his weaken mind. You can ask Cassie if you don’t believe me, but you should have a little trust in me since we’re partners.”

June narrowed his eyes at her explanation. “Ms. Larson, I hope you’re not playing games with me. I can deal with Oscar, so don’t bring Cassie into it. Else, you’ll be next on my list.”

“June, you can’t blindly accuse me just because you care about Cassie. I have utilized many of my connections and called in a lot of favors to get that drug. You can always return it to me if you don’t want it,” Jennifer offered casually.

June’s answer was hanging up the call.

A cold smirk played on Jennifer’s lips as she looked at her phone after being hung up on.

“I can’t believe a dumb girl like you can get a man to dedicate himself to you, Cassie,” Jennifer mumbled.

Honestly, I envy Cassie. No matter the bad deeds she’d done, June had continued to stay by her side. Maybe from an outsider’s point of view, June isn’t a good person, but not many men can rival his love and dedication toward Cassie.

June didn’t care what Jennifer was thinking. He dumped all the pills into a garbage can nearby and filled the bottle with vitamin C tablets he’d gotten from the clinic. Then, he put the bottle back into Cassie’s purse as though nothing had happened.

“Honey, leave the revenge to me. You only need to be my princess sitting on a pedestal.”

June drove her back to her house.

Cassie realized she was sleeping in her bed when she woke up. Feeling confused, she went down the stairs with bed hair to see June chatting away happily with her mother. The sight had her stomping angrily over to them.

“June, you drugged the Coke, didn’t you? Why else would I sleep for so long?” Cassie interrogated.

Elizabeth’s brows furrowed at Cassie’s tone. “Cassie, what is with your attitude? June sent you back on his goodwill, but you’re scolding him like a crude. Where are your manners? Was this how I taught you?”

“Mom, he was the one-”

“Enough. Go wash up now that you’re awake. Take a good look at yourself.”

Unable to go against her mother’s orders, Cassie resignedly dragged her feet toward the bathroom to wash up.

After the meal, Cassie came up with an excuse and left her house to go to a doctor to check on the drug’s composition. She was stunned when she was informed that the drug was just vitamin C tablets and wouldn’t cause any harm to anyone.

“What? Vitamin C? Is there a mistake, Hector?” Cassie asked in disbelief. She never expected Jennifer would blatantly fool her with a bottle of vitamin C. Does she take me as an idiot?

“These are undoubtedly vitamin C tablets. Cassie, are you playing a trick on me because I’ve been too free these days?”

Cassie snatched the bottle from him. “I’ll buy you a meal next time, Hector; there’s something I need to do, so I have to leave now.” She left hurriedly.

“Hey, Cassie! How can you push me aside after getting what you wanted?”

Cassie had already left like the wind then, so she couldn’t have answered him.

She got in her car after leaving the clinic and reached for her phone instantly to call Jennifer. Cassie didn’t hesitate to yell at Jennifer once the call connected. “Jennifer, do you think I’m an idiot that could be easily fooled around? Why would you blatantly lie to me by giving me a bottle of vitamin C? We’re partners, and this gesture of yours show that you’re not sincere. I’m not sure if this partnership should continue.”

She immediately ended the call without listening to what Jennifer had to say.

Jennifer was puzzled at Cassie’s accusation, but recalling the conversation with June earlier, she knew the latter must’ve done something.

She made a call to June next. “June, did you substitute the drugs in Cassie’s bottle with vitamin C tablets?”

“I did.”

“Why did you do that?”

“No reason. I told you before that I hate people using Cassie. You’re not an exception to that rule.”

Jennifer finally understood.

“June, I can stop using Cassie, but you shouldn’t have instigated her against me.”

“That’s your problem.”

“Aren’t you scared that I’ll tell Cassie the truth?”

“You could try and we’ll see what’ll happen.”

She fell silent shortly before she conceded. “All right. You got me this time. I concede defeat.”

June looked down at the black screen of his phone with a small smile playing on his lips.

After cursing at Jennifer internally, Cassie was still seething with anger. She unconsciously stepped on the pedal and snapped out of her red haze when she found herself stopping in front of Clinton Corporations.

She was about to get out of the car but she shut the door immediately after opening them.

Her gaze was trained on the man gently removing a leaf from his partner’s hair. She bit down on her lip harshly, jealous of the sight.

The man then wrapped his arms around the woman and said, “Today marks the six-month anniversary of our reunion. I already have Hugo and Kurt taking care of Tony, so let’s go out for a celebration. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

“Okay.”
