Not that Kendrick was afraid of Yorick. “Regardless of what you try, Lana Johnson, nothing will happen between the two of us. I’d forget about trying if I were you, lest you end up humiliating yourself in the end.”
Kendrick made his way around Lana in disgust.
Lana curled her lips confidently as she stared at Kendrick’s handsome figure and took out a transparent bag.
“Are you sure nothing I do will work, Mr. Waldburg? Then how about you take a look at this?”
Kendrick did not want to be affected by this woman in any way, so he entered the banquet hall immediately without turning back.
After getting Niamh’s thermos cup from Eloise, Kendrick walked back the same way, though he did not expect Lana to still be waiting at the same place.
Kendrick ignored her existence and walked straight ahead.
Lana stared at the oncoming Kendrick with ambiguous and powerful eyes. As he walked by, she raised the small, transparent bag in her hand.
“Mr. Waldburg, you should recognize what this is, right? Isn’t this the medicine your wife has been taking recently?”
Kendrick was not interested in knowing anything that had to do with Lana, but his sight was drawn to the items in the small, transparent bag.
The little pink pill was clearly the medicine Niamh had just consumed.
According to Adam, this was a drug newly developed by his team that was highly effective in suppressing tumors. It had clinical trial support and the ingredients were safe.
However, this medicine was precious. A single tablet cost five figures and its quantity was scarce. It had not been released to the market yet, so how did Lana get the medicine?
Looking at the doubts that had appeared in Kendrick’s eyes, Lana leisurely said, “Do you find it weird, Mr. Waldburg? Are you wondering how I’ve come to possess the medicine your wife is taking? If you want to know the reason, I’ll be waiting for you at this hotel tomorrow night. I’ll be in the presidential suite.”
Lana handed the small packet of medicine to Kendrick.
“These few should be given to Mrs. Waldburg, but don’t overdo it. Otherwise…” She deliberately stopped midway, smiling meaningfully.
Kendrick did not accept it, so Lana simply stuffed the bag into Kendrick’s hand before deliberately brushing her fingers on the back of Kendrick’s hand.
“Remember to unblock my number first. Be there.”
Lana left with a confident smile, but a strange fragrance still lingered on the tip of Kendrick’s nose.
He frowned and looked at the pink pill in his hand, feeling that something was not right.
Kendrick took out his phone to contact Adam when Niamh came over.
Seeing Lana walking away with her back to Kendrick, Niamh asked while feeling confused, “Did she come to you again to discuss a cooperation?”
Kendrick returned to his senses and smiled at Niamh softly. “Well, she still hasn’t given up.”
He put away the pills carefully and handed the thermos cup to Niamh. “Drink some water. If you’re unwell, let’s head back early to rest.”
Niamh drank the water. She started feeling much better and was no longer dizzy.
After returning to the banquet hall with Niamh, Kendrick said that he was going to the bathroom before leaving.
He immediately called Adam. After the call connected, he explained about the pill. Adam then said that anyone with money and connections could get this medicine, which was not surprising.
Adam’s response was as if it was nothing, but Kendrick did not think so.
Even if Lana had this medicine, how could she know that Niamh was taking it?
Kendrick looked at the list of his blocked numbers and unblocked them reluctantly.
As soon as he unblocked the numbers, Lana sent a message: [Looking forward to seeing you, (kiss)]
This woman was really presumptuous and debauched.
It seemed that there was no bottom line as long as she got what she wanted.
For such a person to dare say they were conducting proper business, Kendrick obviously did not believe it.
The next night after Kendrick had coaxed the two children to sleep, he saw Niamh sitting in the study. She was sketching out designs seriously. He walked toward her slowly and said, “Nia, a client just called and I need to head out to deal with it. Rest earlier.”
Niamh nodded. “Don’t come back too late.”
“Alright.” Kendrick kissed Niamh’s cheek and left.
He came to the presidential suite of the hotel. The door opened and Lana, wearing a translucent nightdress with garters, appeared in front of Kendrick. The large tattoo on her chest was eye-catching.
The man looked away calmly, showing no interest in looking at her body. He took out the pills Lana had given him yesterday from his pocket.
“Now tell me how you found out that my wife is taking this medicine.”
Lana leaned against the door. “Should I speak here? Are you not afraid of being photographed? You being with me who’s dressed like this, just chatting here… If your wife sees this, I’m afraid there would be trouble.”
Although Kendrick was resistant, he went in to find out the truth and for the sake of Niamh’s health.
As soon as he entered, he smelled that unique and western fragrance once again. The lights in the room were also dimmed.
Kendrick knew Lana’s purpose, but he did not want to deal with it, so he opened his mouth and said straightforwardly, “Now you can tell me.”
Lana handed a glass of red wine to Kendrick. “Drink with me first.”
Kendrick responded indifferently, “Don’t waste time. Talk.”
Lana drank the liquid in the glass in a dispirited manner and said, “Mr. Waldburg, when you hurriedly looked for my brother that day and asked him for your daughter, I was actually on the second floor. Eveline Montgomery arrived later on. The way you were nervous about her made me excited. I also want to experience what it’s like to be nervously cared for by a man like you.
“I’m certainly not some samaritan, let alone a decent woman, so as I’ve taken a fancy to you, I will do whatever it takes to get you.”
Lana’s shameless words made Kendrick sick.
This woman really did not even care for her dignity.
“Mr. Waldburg, since you’re here tonight, stay here for a while. I’ll make you very happy,” Lana said as she sauntered toward Kendrick.
Kendrick grasped at her wrist, his eyes looking cold. “A woman like you, even if you’re to stand naked in front of me, I wouldn’t feel anything.”
He brushed her away in disgust.
Lana sank to the ground but was smiling. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel anything for me right now. I have time to conquer you, but I don’t know if your wife has the time to wait till then.”
“Lana Johnson!”
Kendrick instantly burst into anger, the blue veins on his forehead popping violently.
“I’m warning you. If you dare to do anything to my wife, even if you’re from the Stygian Johnson Gang, I will definitely not let you off. Speak, what the hell is going on with this medicine?!”
Lana seemed to have some masochistic tendencies as she enjoyed Kendrick’s tyrannical attitude.
“Kendrick, I know you’re not afraid of my brother nor the Stygian Johnson Gang’s power, but you have to know that the people of Stygian Johnson Gang are not vegetarians. For their second lady, they could do anything.
“If you want Eveline to give birth to the baby in her stomach safely, you’d better cooperate with me. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who would be regretting it by then.”
It was a blatant threat.
Lana, this woman, was relying on Yorick Johnson’s support to be unscrupulous to the extreme.
Plus, she had caught onto Kendrick’s weak point—Niamh.
Villa.
After Niamh was done with the designs, she felt a little sleepy and went to bed first.
When she woke up early the next morning, Niamh found that the other side of the bed was flat and cold.
Kendrick had not come back.
Niamh was worried that something had happened to Kendrick last night. She picked up her phone and wanted to contact Kendrick when suddenly, a piece of breaking news popped up.
She glanced at it curiously and saw a photo of Kendrick entering a hotel suite with Lana who was dressed provocatively.
As Niamh looked at this scene, her mind went blank for a moment. It was then when the door of the room suddenly opened.
Niamh looked up and saw Kendrick walking in with a trace of fatigue between his pretty eyebrows.
Seeing Niamh sitting on the bed, Kendrick relaxed his eyebrows and smiled warmly. “Nia, did I wake you?”
Niamh shook her head and put down her phone. “Why didn’t you come back last night?”
Although Kendrick did not want to lie to Niamh, he also did not want Niamh to misunderstand anything.
“The client’s case was a bit urgent and I couldn’t leave. I’m sorry I made you worry.” Kendrick walked to the bed and kissed Niamh’s eyebrows.
When he approached her, Niamh noticed a scent on Kendrick’s body that did not belong to him.
