Chapter 570 A Clumsy Plot
Paula was quite happy when she received the call. Lloyd reaching out to her must mean he was interested in her.
Paula gladly accepted the invitation.
Meanwhile, Jude and Celia had gone shopping and returned home later than Susan and Lloyd.
As soon as he got home, Jude received a call. Without thinking much, he went to the location Lloyd had specified.
Paula had just arrived at the restaurant's private room. While waiting, she took a sip of the water on the table. Shortly after, she blacked out, completely unaware of what had happened.
On the other side.
A car was parked by the riverside road, with Lloyd sitting inside. He could see on his phone that Jude had arrived at the designated location, which was right next to the private room where Paula was.
When Jude arrived and didn't see Lloyd, he called him, "Lloyd, where are you? I'm where you asked me to come over ."
"Jude, sorry. I already found someone else to help. It's all sorted now," Lloyd said. "I'm heading home."
"Alright then," Jude said, not thinking much of it.
As Jude walked out of the room, he saw a man supporting unconscious Paula, leading her outside.
Sensing something was wrong, Jude followed them to the parking lot and realized Paula was completely unconscious.
If Paula was taken away while unconscious, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
At the thought of setting Lloyd up with Paula, Jude stepped forward. "Put her down. Who are you and what's the matter with her?"
The man glanced at Jude and said, "She is drunk."
Jude, not being foolish, didn't smell any alcohol and immediately saw through the man's lie. "You're talking nonsense. She doesn't look drunk at all. What did you do to her? I'm calling the police."
Hearing this, the man dropped Paula and ran.
Jude wanted to chase after him. However,, seeing Paula on the ground, he quickly helped her up.
"Paula, Paula." Just as Jude spoke, he felt a sudden pain in his butt. As he turned to see what had pricked him, he was knocked out.
What pricked Jude was a needle with a sedative.
Seeing Jude unconscious, a man emerged from the shadows. It was Anthony.
He had gone to great lengths to bring Jude and Paula together.
Anthony took Jude's phone from his pocket and deleted the recent call records, doing the same with Paula's phone.
The trap wasn't sophisticated. Lloyd had better ways to bring the two together, but he chose to handle it himself.
Despite its simplicity, the trap still achieved the desired effect.
Lloyd's goal was to ruin Jude and Celia's marriage and eliminate Paula who was threatening.
He wasn't worried that Jude and Paula would figure out it was him.
The unconscious Jude and Paula were taken to a hotel room upstairs. Meanwhile, Celia received an anonymous message informing her that Jude was in a hotel room with another woman. She rushed over.
When Celia arrived at the hotel and opened the door to see Jude and Paula on the bed, she was so furious that she fetched a basin of water from the bathroom and poured it over them.
"Jude." Celia roared in anger.
Jude and Paula woke up, confused by the situation.
Paula lifted the blanket and realized her clothes were gone, screaming, "Jude, why is it you?"
Jude was equally bewildered. "What's going on?"
"Stop pretending," Celia yelled, stepping forward to hit Paula. "You slut. You seduced my husband."
Paula hid under the blanket, too scared to come out, while Jude protected her. "Celia, why are you hitting her?It's not what you think. I don't know what happened either. I just wake up."
"Jude, you're still defending her? Do you think I'm a child? I want a divorce," Celia said, hitting Jude to release her anger. "You told me you had some errands to do. It turns out that you were busy having an affair with this slut. How could you do this to me?"
