Chapter 370
Constance just smiled and remained silent in response to Felix's determined words. Now, she was dodging him like he had the plague. No way she was falling for him again.
At dinner, Felix kept trying to chat her up, but Constance was all cold responses.
After they finished eating, Constance got up and said, "I gotta work late, so I'm heading back."
Felix frowned. "I'll go with you."
"No need. I'm used to being on my own," Constance refused directly. With that, she turned and left.
Felix watched her go, disappointment all over his face.
Back at the office, Constance picked up a pen to work on her design, but her mind was blank, filled with the image of Felix explaining himself at the restaurant. She put down the pen, feeling all mixed up inside. She had no clue what to do.
She had decided that after three months, she'd cut ties with Felix. But hearing his explanation today, she felt a pang in her heart. During those three years when he thought she was dead, he probably didn't have a great time either.
As Constance was thinking about how to deal with Felix, the office lights suddenly went out. She reached for her phone, but as she got to her desk, everything went black.
She grabbed the desk to steady herself, barely managing to stay upright, but she felt her strength fading.
What was happening? Before she completely blacked out, she heard the office door open, and then she was out.
Meanwhile, at the Chambers Estate, Eric was pacing around the living room, looking frustrated.
Jennifer, sitting on the couch, snapped, "Eric, your pacing is making me dizzy!"
Eric asked, "Jennifer, are you sure this will work? If the Drake family and Felix find out you did this tonight, they won't let the Chambers family off!"
Besides, he didn't want another guy to be with Constance. He thought if he went to save her now, maybe Constance would fall for him!
Jennifer sneered, "Don't worry. The guy I hired is solid. Even if he gets caught, he won't say a word."
Eric said, "No, I have to go save Constance!"
Seeing Eric grab his car keys, Jennifer's face darkened, and she immediately blocked him. "Eric, are you nuts? If you go now, you're basically telling Constance that the Chambers family did this. Then we're finished!"
"She's the woman I like; I can't just watch her get ruined!"
Seeing Eric determined to leave, Jennifer coldly said, "Fine, go if you want, but don't forget she's Felix's wife. They've been married for years; who knows how many times they've slept together. If you want to ruin the Chambers family for her, I won't stop you!"
Hearing this, Eric's grip on the car keys tightened, his eyes filled with struggle. After a long time, he took a few steps back and collapsed onto the couch, the car keys falling to the floor.
Jennifer knew she had won. She walked over, squatted beside him, and said, "Eric, once we get her compromising video, we can blackmail her into making the Drake Group cooperate with the Chambers Group. When the Chambers Group is back on top, you'll have all the women you want. Maybe by then, Constance will come to you!"
Eric was silent for a few seconds, then said darkly, "Jennifer, you're right. Constance isn't worth my affection; she's just a slut!"
Thinking about how he had chased Constance before, only to be repeatedly rejected, he thought she was pretending to be pure while having slept with Felix many times.
Jennifer smirked, "Eric, now you're thinking straight!" Her lips curled into a cold smile, feeling triumphant.
As long as Eric was on her side, dealing with Constance would be a breeze!
When Constance woke up, she found herself in a strange bedroom, her hands and feet tied. Normally, she could handle ropes like these, but now she felt weak and feverish, like she had a high temperature.
The door creaked open, and a man with a face full of fat walked in, carrying a tripod and a video camera. Seeing Constance awake, he gave a lecherous grin, his fat jiggling. "Well, well, you're finally awake. Good thing, too. I didn't want to do this with a corpse."
Constance bit her lip hard, trying to clear her head, and glared at him. "Who sent you? I can pay you double!"
The man set up the tripod and camera, pointing the lens right at the bed. "Sweetheart, I'm not here for money; I'm repaying a favor. No matter what you offer, I'm not letting you go. Tonight, we're gonna have a good time, and I'll make sure you enjoy it!"
With that, he lunged at her.
Constance tried to dodge, but she only managed to move a few inches before the man grabbed her leg and pinned her down with his hefty body.
He squinted his eyes and laughed lecherously. "Don't struggle; you can't escape!"
Constance's gaze turned icy as she stared at the man on top of her. "If you dare touch me, you'll regret ever being born!"
The man's heart skipped a beat at her cold stare, feeling a twinge of fear. But he quickly shook it off, sneering, "Do you think threats will work? I'm gonna have you tonight and post the video online for everyone to see!"
With that, he tore open her shirt. His eyes turned red, almost losing his mind.
Constance felt utterly disgusted, wishing she could die right then, but she didn't even have the strength to bite her tongue. She closed her eyes in despair, her pride crumbling inch by inch.
Just as she felt herself falling into the abyss, the bedroom door suddenly burst open. The next second, the weight on her body disappeared, and a jacket with a pine scent covered her. At the same time, the room filled with screams.
Constance opened her eyes and saw Felix, her eyes flashing with shock. How did he get here?
Seeing her in this state, Felix wanted to tear the man to pieces but held back his rage, fearing it would scare her.
After untying her, Felix carefully picked her up and walked over to James, coldly saying, "I want to know who did this within ten minutes!"
Felix carried Constance to another room, where she realized they were in a hotel.
Placing her on the bed, he softly said, "I've arranged for a doctor to check on you. I'll step out for now."
Constance, now calmed down, nodded. "Okay."
Five minutes later, the doctor exited the room and said to Felix, "Mr. Clinton, Miss Drake was drugged. She'll be fine after some IV fluids and a night's rest."
Felix sat on the couch, exuding a chilling aura. Though he was just sitting quietly, it was terrifying. He replied, "Alright, thank you. You may leave."
Shortly after the doctor left, James walked in. "Mr. Clinton, we found out it was Jennifer who ordered this."
Felix's lips curled into a smile, but it was cold and menacing. He ordered, "Bring Jennifer here and do to her what she planned for Constance. No need for the hassle of recording; arrange a live broadcast instead. And buy her a trending topic so she can fully enjoy the fall from grace!"
