Chapter 230: You?
Felix Jennings coldly said, "It seems Miss Hughes is still underestimating her opponent. This is all Summer Monroe’s plan. She knew from the start that the dress you sent had issues."
Coralie Hughes bit her lip.
She also suspected Summer, but she didn’t want to admit that Summer was that clever.
With Felix saying this, she felt as if her façade had been torn away.
She said, somewhat exasperated, "So what if I underestimated her? I’ll make sure she pays for it next time!"
Felix Jennings shook his head lightly, "If I’m not mistaken, your father is starting to suspect you. If you don’t handle things cleanly moving forward, you might not even get the chance to deal with Summer before you’re dealt with yourself."
Coralie clenched her fists, feeling a bit concerned in her heart...
She bit her lip hard again and looked at Felix, asking, "Then tell me, what’s your plan?"
A cold glint flickered in Felix’s eyes.
"To avoid any unexpected developments, we might as well deal with her today. We’ll stick to the original plan."
Coralie hesitantly said, "But today... she totally stole the spotlight, everyone inside is calling her a miracle doctor..."
"So what?" Felix raised his chin, saying, "The higher she stands now, the harder she’ll fall once things go wrong. This is the perfect opportunity, Miss Hughes, you can’t hesitate any longer."
Coralie remained conflicted, "But by then, my cousin’s reputation would also be tarnished."
Felix laughed, "A man having a few romantic rumors doesn’t ruin his reputation. On the contrary, it adds a bit of color to his life. Haven’t you noticed? Your cousin’s gaze at Summer is rather peculiar... ever since the incident at sea, not only did he fail to deal with Summer, he almost got dealt with by her instead. Your cousin has been waiting for another chance. Are you sure you want both of you to miss this opportunity?"
Coralie could no longer suppress her inner turmoil and made a decision, "Fine! We’ll go with your plan! Where’s the stuff you mentioned over the phone? Give it to me!"
Felix took out an aromatherapy lamp from his bag.
"Light it in the prepared place."
Coralie held the lamp, showing disdain, "Just this, and it will help us achieve our goal? Didn’t you say you would give me a drug to stimulate those hormones? Why is it just an aromatherapy lamp?"
Felix raised an eyebrow and said, "Originally, it was that drug, but Summer knows medicine, using that kind of drug would be showing off in front of an expert. Coincidentally, I went abroad recently and found something more effective and less detectable. It’s this... colorless and odorless, most people won’t notice it. And even if they do, it would be too late, because so far, apart from the person who developed this lamp, no one can neutralize its effects."
Coralie felt a bit uneasy holding the lamp.
Felix smiled and said, "Miss Hughes, there’s no need to be afraid. This only takes effect when it’s lit and vaporized."
Coralie relaxed a little, intrigued and excited, "So once it’s lit, does it have the same effect as the hormone-stimulating drug?"
Felix shook his head, "It’s different. Besides stimulating hormones and arousing desires, this will also induce hallucinations, making it easy to see anyone as the person one’s heart loves. Once the effect kicks in, everything happens naturally... The most important part is that this drug is in the lamp wick, it will run its course within a certain time, and professional facilities can’t detect it."
In other words, there would be no evidence left!
Coralie’s biggest fear now was leaving evidence that could lead back to her.
After Felix’s explanation, the final weight in her heart was lifted.
Felix took out another pill, handing it to Coralie, "This is the antidote, for your cousin to use."
"I know what to do now, don’t worry, this time, Summer is definitely done for! Just wait and see her being spat on by everyone! I’ll set up a big screen in the hall, and at that time, I’ll invite everyone to watch the live broadcast!"
