?Chapter 678:


    Satisfied, Cecil handed a thick stack of cash to his associates.


    With a cunning smirk, Elyse said, “I’ll leave you to it, then.”


    Cecil chuckled. “Don’t worry, Elyse. I’ll give this woman a hard time.”


    Capturing the raw desire in his eyes, Elyse pulled out her phone and began snapping photos. She skillfully chose her angles to clearly capture Elena’s face.


    Noticing Elyse’s actions, Cecil yfully removed his shirt and posed provocatively beside the unconscious Elena for the camera.


    After securing the images she desired, Elyse left, quietly closing the door behind her. These images would spell disaster for Elena’s good name. A daughter of the Harper family, now tainted by scandal—who in the would want her as a wife now?


    A surge of triumph washed over Elyse.


    The room now contained only Cecil and Elena, who remained unconscious.


    Finally undisturbed, Cecil quickly ced Elena on the bed. Shey there, unconscious, her face peaceful and captivating. Her curledshes fluttered gently, casting delicate shadows over her eyelids. The drug had left a faint flush on her skin, and her breathing, though shallow, was still noticeable.


    Observing her, Cecil found himself swallowing involuntarily. She was undeniably beautiful! He had never been with a woman quite as breathtaking as her.


    Merely looking at her stirred a deep desire in Cecil, urging him to lunge toward her impulsively.


    Suddenly, the sharp ring of a phone broke the silence.


    The sound caused a slight furrow in Elena’s brow, pulling her closer to consciousness. Her eyes fluttered open slowly. Wesley’s name shed on the caller ID.


    As she reached out to answer, Cecil quickly tossed the phone away. “You’re awake? Even better. This will be much more enjoyable,” he said, his smile tinged with malice.


    Elena quickly scanned the room, and it became clear to her just how serious her situation was. A sense of weakness spread through her limbs, while a suffocating heat clouded her senses.


    She reached out and grabbed the belt that Cecil had carelessly removed. With a sinister chuckle, Cecil taunted, “Feeling the effects of the drug, aren’t you? Aroused? Don’t worry, I’m here to satisfy you.”

    He had invested heavily in this potent new drug from Avaloria’s underground market. It was irresistible to anyone exposed to it. Cecil, confident and shirtless, advanced toward her without caution.


    Using thest bit of her strength, Elena rolled aside, grabbed the belt, and swiftly wrapped it around Cecil’s neck from behind.


    Caught off guard, Cecil shouted, “You’ve been drugged! How are you still moving?”


    Ignoring his cries, Elena grabbed the ashtray from the nightstand and struck his head with it.


    Blood flowed freely from Cecil’s wound as he stumbled and fell. Exhausted from the fight, Elena slumped to the floor. She clenched her teeth, managed to pick up the phone, and hit the answer button.


    As her consciousness faded, she weakly whispered the address of the hotel to Wesley.


    “Wesley, I’ve been drugged.”


    With thesest words and her back soaked with sweat, the phone slipped from her weakening grip. Upon hearing her, Wesley jumped to his feet and rushed out of his office.
