Chapter 691: Coming Up with a Plan Together
The Woodward Family is not a small household, and this downfall is indeed a significant blow to Mr. Woodward.
Rachel Woodward grew up pampered, the apple of her parents’ eyes, and when had she ever been scolded so harshly by her family?
She hung her head, a trace of resentment passed through her eyes, and she blamed Nora Northwood for this incident.
A wave of agitation spread from top to bottom, almost enveloping her whole body.
The lowered eyelashes hid Rachel’s emotions, and Yvonne Shepherd noticed her daughter’s change, instinctively holding her tighter.
The heaviness in the living room made it difficult to breathe until Lynn Woodward appeared.
The door was opened from the outside, and Lynn Woodward rushed in from the foyer, seeing the chaos all over.
She stepped forward and asked, "Brother, Rachel, what’s the commotion now?"
In the midst of the furious shouting, her words seemed quite abrupt.
Rachel came to her senses, detached from her mother’s embrace, and threw herself at Lynn Woodward, "Aunt, you have to help me."
The girl knew that this aunt was always the one who could come up with ideas.
"Nora Northwood will definitely pay for what she’s done!" This sentence was almost squeezed out from between Lynn Woodward’s teeth, she added, "Right now, there is a way to save the Woodward Family from disaster, but I don’t know if you’re willing to give it a try?"
"I’m willing, Aunt."
Rachel Woodward agreed without hesitation.
...
A few days later.
Jenson Sinclair’s birthday was approaching, and the second household was organizing a small birthday party for him.
Jasper Sinclair was not inclined to attend, but Raina Sinclair advised, "No matter how messy things are privately, on the surface, we are family; Grandma Sinclair is old and doesn’t want to see discord among family members."
The couple, considering from Grandma Sinclair’s perspective, ultimately decided to attend.
The calamity began at this moment.
Lynn Woodward manipulated Raina Sinclair to unknowingly have Jasper Sinclair drink water laced with aphrodisiacs.
The drug’s effects had almost no prelude, and when they realized it, he was already under the same roof as Rachel Woodward.
"Rachel Woodward, you drugged me?" The man reprimanded softly, not noticing the abnormal state of the person in front of him.
Rachel Woodward had taken the drug a quarter of an hour earlier than Jasper Sinclair; now, the heat throughout her body was already unbearable.
She leaned closer, trying to get close to the man, muttering, "Cousin, so hot... help me."
Jasper Sinclair turned aside to dodge, but she clung to him like an octopus.
As their skin touched, he felt Rachel’s scalding temperature, already beyond normal range, and her face was unusually flushed.
His Adam’s apple moved, and he frowned, asking, "Who arranged this?"
Rachel tilted her head, her face full of allure, and replied with a hazy mind, "I don’t know, cousin."
Jasper Sinclair’s eyes were dark, knowing that if things continued like this, they would both be doomed.
He dashed to the door, intending to press down the doorknob but found the door locked from the outside.
Immediately, his expression changed.
The phone had no signal, calling heaven and earth was of no help, roughly that’s how it was.
Jasper Sinclair grabbed Rachel’s hand, trying his best to prevent her from frantically groping his body; he told her with what little reason he had left, "The Woodward Family’s downfall is inevitable. Someone will soon come here. If you don’t want things to turn uglier, go to the shower room and lock the door from inside yourself."
