Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 750:

Linden reached out and grabbed her hand, his voice suddenly turning syrupy sweet.

“Come on. Don’t be like that.

You guessed it, didn’t you? I didn’t give Daniela a full dose. I did it for our future, for you. If I’d been caught and sent to jail, you’d be left high and dry.”

Natalie snatched her hand away as if it had been burned.

“I think you’ve fallen for that bitch Daniela, haven’t you?”

Linden chuckled, a sleazy sound that grated on Natalie’s ears.

“You’re cousins. Do you really need to be so mean?”

Natalie’s sneer deepened.noveldrama

“So, what are you getting at?”

“Don’t be angry, sweetheart.

You’re the one I truly care about. Trust me. I just want to play with Daniela for a while. Once I’m bored, I’ll definitely take care of her for you. I reduced the dosage to make her dependent on me. This drug will cloud her judgment, soften her resolve. Isn’t it Elite Lux you want? By then, you can have her transfer it to you.”

Natalie looked at Linden, searching his eyes for a hint of truth.

“Really?”

Linden smiled.

“Of course.”

Natalie’s eyes narrowed, her mind replaying the image of Daniela she had just seen in the office. She hadn’t seemed like someone whose mind was clouded.

“How will you prove Daniela is under your thumb?” she asked.

Linden was brimming with self-assurance.

“When Daniela leaves work and heads to the parking lot, I’ll give you a demonstration. With the current dosage, I can control her consciousness for about a minute.” Linden grinned, his grip on Natalie’s hand tightening possessively.

“Honey, don’t be jealous.

You know you’re the only one in my heart. It’s just that all men will stray a little.

You’ll forgive me, won’t you?”

Natalie looked at Linden’s face, a face that only a mother could love, as a wave of nausea washed over her.

She let out a brittle laugh, pulled her hand free from his grasp, and strutted back towards the office.

That day, Daniela left for home at 9 PM as usual.

By the time she reached the underground parking lot, Natalie and Linden were already lurking outside.

Daniela detected a strange, cloying fragrance in the air.

With a flourish, Linden snapped his fingers near her ear.

The next second, he commanded, “Daniela, stand still and be quiet for a minute.”

Daniela froze in her tracks.

Linden turned to Natalie, a smug grin plastered across his face.

“See? The drug’s working, isn’t it?”

Natalie tilted her head, waved a hand in front of Daniela’s face, and then peered intently into her eyes, calling, “Daniela?” Only silence answered her.

The underground parking lot was as quiet as a tomb.

Linden’s smugness intensified, and he reached for Natalie’s hand.
