CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87: LET’S HAVE AN AFFAIR TOGETHER

Juliana looked towards the sound, and saw it was a passing waitress.

"Excuse me, can you take me back to the hall?"

Although she felt dizzy, her safety awareness was still intact. To get back to the hall meant returning to the sight of others, which made danger less likely.

"Then follow me."

The waitress took a couple of pictures and sent them to her employer while Juliana wasn’t paying attention, then deliberately slowed her pace so that Juliana could keep up.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of an elevator.

Juliana remembered that the place where she had completed the procedures and the hall where the auction was being held were on the same floor, so there was no need to take an elevator.

Realizing there was something wrong with the waitress, she turned to leave.

But the other party forcefully dragged her into the elevator.

"Don’t be afraid, just go to the room and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine tomorrow."

"Who told you to do this?"

The other person didn’t answer, and Juliana couldn’t struggle. As she watched the elevator doors close slowly, a wave of panic surged in her heart.

So careful, and yet she’s been outmaneuvered...

Around the corner, as the elevator went up, Adrian tried to shake off Jared’s hand.

"Juliana is in danger, let me go!"

"You haven’t even gone to that room, what danger could she be in alone? Besides, the other party tricked you, they’re certainly going to lure Evan to ’catch an affair’ next. In a moment, her husband will find her, what could happen to her?"

Jared’s words calmed Adrian down.

"But her body has just suffered severe trauma, and now she’s been drugged. Who’s trying to kill her?" Adrian said.

Seeing that Adrian had stopped trying to chase the elevator, Jared released him, took a couple of deep breaths, and squinted his eyes slightly.

"You care so much about her, what’s your relationship?"

Adrian’s gaze suddenly straightened.

"Whatever your relationship with her is, that’s what mine is too. Don’t think I can’t see through it; you asked me to be her lawyer, said all those dignified words, but really it was just for yourself."

Jared scoffed lightly, "You’re smart, someone just tried to trick you into going to a room upstairs. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have fallen for it, idiot."

Adrian’s mind was on Juliana, so he didn’t argue with Jared.

"That kind of drug is very harmful to the body, it’s better to go and tell Evan Grant."

Saying this, he was ready to leave.

Jared laughed mockingly, "Then you’ll have to explain to Evan Grant why the other party wanted to put you and Juliana in one room and not someone else?"

Adrian stopped in his tracks because of his words.

Jared leisurely walked towards the elevator.

"The drug in Juliana’s system, they as husband and wife will solve themselves. The most important thing for us now is to persuade uncle to go home. If we return empty-handed tonight, we won’t be able to explain it to father. He wasn’t seen at the auction; we must go look elsewhere, and not waste any more time."

...

The elevator had just ascended one floor when it stopped.

The waitress, gripping Juliana, was a bit nervous.

The door opened, and Elias Langley and his secretary were about to enter.

Juliana, dazed but managing to recognize him, made a spontaneous effort to break free from the waitress’s hand and leaned towards him.

In desperation, she shouted out charmingly, "Husband, why are you so late?"

This call left the man, who was accustomed to storms, stunned in place.

The waitress, thinking he was really her husband, panicked immediately, released Juliana, and slipped out of the elevator.

Quinn saw her trying to escape and quickly ran to chase her.

Before leaving, he pitched his voice and shouted, "Husband, save her first!"

Elias Langley snapped back to reality, took a few steps into the elevator, and caught the now-unsteady Juliana.

Seeing her face flushed, he simply picked her up.

"Did you eat something bad?"

The man asked while pressing the elevator button for a floor.

He glanced at the panel; it seemed the waitress intended to take her to the 9th floor.

Juliana nodded, "A lot of people handed me drinks, and they wouldn’t let me leave if I didn’t drink. I thought it was a crowded place, casually took it, figured it wouldn’t matter."

Elias snorted, "They surrounded you just to be courteous. But the one that made it into your hand, that one’s definitely a problem."

His words made sense, but Juliana was too uncomfortable to care.

She hugged his neck and rubbed against it.

Her lips were very hot.

"Behave yourself."

The man softly scolded her, quickening his pace back to the room.

Juliana understood that at this point, she had no choice.

Her body wasn’t just hot, it was as if thousands of ants were crawling inside her, causing an urge to find release.

She had been so well-behaved for 26 years, and still ended up meeting a jerk.

So what was the point of behaving?

"Elias Langley!"

"Hmm?"

He smelled nice.

Juliana took a deep breath at his neck again.

"Let’s cheat together."

As soon as she said this, she was heavily placed on the bed.

"Truly the age for wet dreams."

The man’s deliberately cold voice was low and enticing.

Juliana didn’t know where her audacity came from; she reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him back down as he was trying to stand.

"Let me be a bad girl this first time, don’t refuse me."

Elias Langley propped his hands beside her shoulders, using his waist strength to avoid crushing her.

She didn’t realize how enticing she looked at the moment.

Her hair was messily sticking to her sweat-damp neck, and her gentle eyes were misty, with a soft glow.

As she exhaled, a soft, warm scent of champagne lingered from her lips.

Elias Langley’s brow twitched slightly.

The light from the bedside lamp streamed over from the rear right, quietly tucking away those emotions that were about to spill into the shadow cast by his arm.

"Your husband is a jerk, you can betray him, but I’m a good man, I won’t betray my wife."

Even as the heat overwhelmed her senses, Juliana realized he had rejected her.

A woman has pride.

She released his tie, rolled off under his arm to the edge of the bed, and wobbled as she got up.

"Fine, if you won’t, I’ll call for a gigolo."

She staggered towards the door, her fingertips just touching the handle when "ding dong" the doorbell rang.

Juliana laughed hazily, "Oh, that was fast?"

Elias Langley’s pupils narrowed sharply.

He had always avoided romantic misconduct, and he wouldn’t ruin his reputation for her.

He swiftly stepped up and caught her wrist.

But it was too late; the electronic lock clicked open with a beep.

Thinking quickly, he used his body to push Juliana against the adjacent wall.

The door slowly opened, pinning Juliana between the door and the wall.

Jared and Adrian Langley appeared at the door.

"Unc..."

Jared just got the first syllable out before his mouth seemed to stop obeying.

Their uncle had always stayed away from women and, even from the age of eight when he knew he had a "little wife," had kept his chastity waiting.

Even when the girl disappeared for over a decade, he remained pure.

But tonight, there was a smudged lipstick mark on his neck, so...

"Uncle, are you hiding a mistress?"

Adrian was less composed than Jared; he asked while peering inside.

Elias Langley frowned in displeasure.

Jared hurriedly pointed to the mark’s location.

It was only then that Elias recalled Juliana had rubbed against him when they came in; the lipstick mark must have been left then.

Elias Langley hardened his expression, his tone stern, "Nonsense, it’s red ink..."

"Hmm~"

A soft moan suddenly emanated from behind the door.

The air solidified in an instant.
