Chapter 185 Micah Drugged with Aphrodisiac
Anna was worried that Colin might say something inappropriate, so she preemptively acted.
Sure enough, she saw Colin swallow the cake with a grimace, unable to say anything. She suddenly felt like laughing.
Colin didn't like sweet things. Just as he was about to lecture Anna, the butler hurriedly came to him.
"Mr. Rivera, something has happened with Mr. Windsor. You need to go check it out."
Colin straightened up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Colin and Anna immediately headed upstairs.
Sterling, followed by Debra and a group of onlookers, stormed into room 1109.
Sterling's face was a prelude to rage. He said, "Debra, you better have an explanation for this, or you won't be leaving this room tonight."
Because when Sterling opened room 1109, there was only James lying on the bed, no sign of Bella.
Earlier, Debra had insisted she saw Bella and James enter the room together. He had foolishly believed her, and now he was just furious at being played by Debra.
Debra panicked instantly. 'No, I had arranged everything. Why, why is Bella missing?'
"Impossible, Sterling, I clearly saw Bella and James come in. Really, you have to believe me," Debra cried.
Sterling stared at her coldly, "Debra, you're asking for it."
Just as Sterling was about to strangle Debra, Colin rushed in and said, "Sterling, don't be impulsive."
Colin pulled Sterling back, but Sterling still managed to kick Debra, who fell to the ground, dazed, not understanding where her plan had gone wrong.
Their commotion woke James, who groggily opened his eyes and said, "What's going on?"
Seeing James awake, Debra immediately rushed over, grabbed his arm, and screamed, "Where's Bella? Why isn't Bella here?"
James, shaken awake by Debra, looked around at the room full of people, not understanding the situation, and said, "What? Bella?"
James looked around the room again, seeing Sterling's grim face, Anna's surprise, and people filming with their phones. His mind suddenly cleared, "Are you here to catch someone cheating?"
James looked around the room, not seeing Bella, and felt relieved. He stared directly at Sterling and said, "What, you think I'm with Bella again? Trying to use the same trick to humiliate Bella?"
Sterling suddenly flew into a rage and punched James in the face, "Tell me, where's Bella?"
The pain fully woke James up. He forcefully broke free from Sterling's grip on his collar, "Didn't you see? There's no Bella here. And who told you I was with Bella? Go ask them, why are you asking me? I don't even know why I'm lying here. I've been drugged too."
"Bella could be anywhere right now. Yelling at me won't help. Go find Bella. If anything happens to her, I won't let you off even as a ghost." James, eyes red, shouted at Sterling.
Sterling, reminded by James, immediately told Colin, "Go, get someone to find Bella right now."
Colin immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Someone dared to cause trouble on his family's turf.
Colin's face darkened, "I'll go right away. I want to see who dares to cause trouble on the Rivera family's property."
Sterling quickly ordered the bodyguards to restrain Debra.
Debra, not expecting things to go so wrong, grabbed Sterling's arm and said, "Sterling, I really saw it. You have to believe me. I don't know what trick Bella pulled, but believe me, I wouldn't lie to you."
Sterling kicked Debra away, not wanting to hear her nonsense. He immediately went out to have people search for Bella.
Before coming here, Sterling had already checked their room and confirmed Bella wasn't there.
Sterling's heart raced. He couldn't let anything happen to Bella here, or he didn't know what crazy things he might do.
James, passing by Debra, glared at her with a sinister look, "Debra, it was you, wasn't it?"
Debra glared back at James, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
James snorted, "It's okay if you don't understand now. Sterling has ways to make you understand."
On the other side, Micah, feeling the effects of the aphrodisiac, was suddenly taken to a room by a waiter.
The room was filled with a drugged atmosphere, and the aphrodisiac in his system was taking effect.
Micah immediately realized he had been drugged. He tried to control himself.
Who? Tonight was Gia's birthday party. Who would dare cause trouble on the Rivera family's property?
The first family that came to mind was the Hughes family.
The Hughes family was naturally present tonight. But what were they trying to do? Drug him with an aphrodisiac and then what? Were they trying to send him a woman?
Why would the Hughes family send him a woman? Who could this woman be? Micah thought for a moment and suddenly had a terrifying thought.
No, it couldn't be. If the Hughes family sent Bella, it would make sense.
They wanted to retaliate against him and also wanted Sterling's cooperation. Seeing that they couldn't secure Sterling's cooperation, they might want to drive a wedge between him and Sterling.
And the best way to drive a wedge between him and Sterling was—Bella?
Thinking of this, Micah broke out in a cold sweat. But the aphrodisiac was too strong. He tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.
He bit his tongue and rushed to the bathroom, turning on the cold water, trying to sober up. But the drugged atmosphere in the room made him drowsy. Even the pain couldn't wake him up.
Finally, his eyelids grew heavy, and he collapsed on the bathroom floor.
The people guarding the door, hearing no movement inside, suddenly opened the door.
They dragged Bella in first, placing her on the bed, then went to the bathroom to carry Micah out, placing him on the bed.
The two men positioned Micah's hand on Bella's waist, arranged them in intimate poses, took some photos, and finally covered them with a blanket.
"Who did this woman offend? Two orders in one night, both putting her in a man's bed?"
The other man said, "Doesn't matter, as long as they pay. Let's go."
The two men quietly left the room.
Meanwhile, the banquet hall was still lively and noisy. No one had spread the news of Bella's disappearance from the party.
Otherwise, the disappearance of the Windsor Group's hostess at the Rivera family's party would be big news.
