At this moment, Matthew could already feel his body temperature rising.
He was confused.
This obviously didn’t feel right.
After being in the business world for so many years, he was already familiar with dirty tricks.
He immediately realized that he should have been drugged.
His face slowly darkened.
A gleam shone in Lindsay's eyes.
She held Matthew's hand and said in a cute voice that men liked, “Matthew, you are sweating a lot.
Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need to rest? I'll help you to the lounge.
A flicker of joy flashed through Lindsay's eyes.
With Stella gone, Matthew had no choice but to turn to her.
If she could just get Matthew to spend the night, it might spell the end for him and Stella.
This was her opportunity.

However, Matthew abruptly pushed her away.
“I'm going to Stella,” he stated and hurried off.
A surge of jealousy and rage swept through Lindsay, but she quickly composed herself.
“Lettake you to Stella,” she insisted.
At the mention of Stella’s name, Matthew relented.
A smug smile crept onto Lindsay’s lips as they ascended the stairs together.
She tightened her grip on him, almost sniggering at her cunning.
Just as she was about to open the door, Felix unexpectedly appeared.
Upon seeing Lindsay, Felix’s eyes lit up.
“Lindsay! I've been Looking for you all night.
There you are.
Lindsay’s plan was interrupted, leaving her annoyed.
She suppressed her irritation and said patiently, “Felix, it’s been a while.
I'm busy right now, maybe another time...”
She guided Matthew forward, hoping to distance herself from the persistent Felix.
Ignoring her words, Felix seized her arm excitedly.
“It's been years.
You look even more beautiful.
Let’s catch up.
Lindsay’s annoyance grew, but Felix seemed oblivious to her discomfort.
She patiently explained, “Felix, | really have urgent matters to attend to.
Let's talk later.
It was only then that Felix noticed Matthew's presence.
He squinted suspiciously and moved to help support him, maintaining a careful distance between Lindsay and
Matthew.

“Is this Matthew? What happened to him?” Felix inquired, his tone unfriendly.
Lindsay was irritated by Felix’s interference but restrained herself.
“Matthew isn’t feeling well.
I'll help him rest,” she replied evenly.
Felix objected, “You two shouldn't be alone.
Let the staff handle him.
Concerned that Felix might indeed leave Matthew to the staff, Lindsay quickly intervened, reaching out.
“No, we're at the door, just two steps away.
I'll take him inside.
She felt tense.
“Besides, Matthew is someone of importance.
It wouldn't look good if he’s seen like this.
Please, lethandle it.
