Chapter 14 Master V
Wayne thought of Danica’s pretty, petite face. Before he came to the bar, he’d just kissed Danica. Her lips were soft and intoxicating.
Jennifer was about to land her kiss on his lips when Wayne turned his head.
Having failed in her attempt, Jennifer was vexed. “Why are you avoiding me?”
Wayne was confused himself. Jennifer liked him, and he adored her. The kiss should’ve happened naturally.
And he wasn’t interested in Danica.
But he’d just kissed her. When he recalled the scene, the softness of her lips was still fresh in his mind. As a neat freak, he couldn’t stand kissing another woman so soon.
He considered it unhygienic, and it made him uncomfortable.
Just then, Todd knocked and said, “Mr. Hamilton, I brought you the antidote.”
The antidote?
Jennifer was surprised. She was drugged. Instead of taking the opportunity to be intimate with her, Wayne had his subordinate get the antidote?
Wayne moved her arms away and stood up.
Irritated, Jennifer threw a pillow at his face. “Wayne, are you a man or not?”

She’d presented herself to him drugged, but he wouldn’t even touch her!
The pillow fell onto the rug. Wayne glanced at Jennifer nonchalantly. “Good night.”
Then, he strode away.
Jennifer didn’t know what to say.
This was so irritating.

In the study, Wayne stood before the picture window. Todd walked in and reported, “Mr. Hamilton, Jennifer has taken the antidote.”
Without turning around, Wayne asked, “What about Crown Villa?”
Todd answered, “I sent the assistant to deliver the antidote. But when he got there, the house was empty. Mrs. Hamilton had left.”
Wayne turned around with a frown. He pressed his lips together and asked, “Where did she go?”
In fact, Danica had misunderstood. She didn’t know Wayne had sent the man to deliver the antidote.
Todd replied, “Mr. Hamilton, someone picked Mrs. Hamilton up.‘
Someone picked her up?
Who? The drug was strong, and she wasn’t detoxified yet.
Wayne’s frown deepened. “Was it a man or a woman?”
Todd hesitated. “Well…”
Wayne interrupted him, “Never mind. I don’t wanna know.”

Chapter 14 Master V
What did he care?
He didn’t love Danica, and they were getting divorced.
What she did had nothing to do with him.
Wayne said, “You may go.”
“Yes, Mr. Hamilton.” Todd left.
Standing alone in front of the picture window, Wayne unbuttoned the collar of his shirt with his slender fingers. Through the clean glass, he saw his Adam’s apple, which had a tooth mark.
Danica did that to him.
The other day, Danica threw herself at him and bit his Adam’s apple. Then, she kissed it and planted kisses all over him, clinging to him like a kitten.
Recalling this, Wayne shut his eyes restlessly. He’d thought of her several times ever since their intimacy in the bathroom.
It was an accident.
And his arousal was unexpected.
When he opened his eyes again, they looked as cold as usual.
***
The next day.
In Florence’s apartment, Danica was reading in a rattan chair. Florence cursed, “What was Wayne thinking? He neglected his wife and went to take care of Jennifer? And that Jennifer is something. I’ve seen homewreckers. But I’ve never seen one who’d drug herself to get a man! How shameless!”

Florence was furious. When she picked Danica up the night before, Danica was sitting on the ground, holding her knees. Then, she raised her head, and tears were all over her face. She was like a pitiful, homeless kitten abandoned by its owner.
Danica was amused. Florence had been calling Wayne and Jennifer names since the night before. This girl was quite persistent.
In fact, Danica had learned to comfort herself in devastation.
She peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. Tasting the sweetness, she smiled, “Florence, give it a break. We can plan to get revenge.”
Hearing this, Florence knew Danica meant to kick some asses. Danica was no pushover.
It was just that it saddened Florence to see Danica heartbroken and get back on her feet again. She couldn’t imagine how painful it was.
Just then, muffled noises came from the storage room. Danica put down the book and smiled, “Let’s get started with Albert.”
Danica had drugged Albert the previous night and had him delivered here.
She and Florence walked into the storage room. With his limbs bound and his mouth gagged, Albert struggled nervously when he saw Danica.
Florence walked over and removed the cloth from his mouth.
Looking at Danica, he cursed, “Danica, how dare you drug me! Do you know who I am? I know Master V. Even your mom comes to me for help. You’re just a girl from the countryside. Don’t think too highly of yourself. Consider yourself lucky that I’m interested in you. If you’re smart, you should flatter me and enjoy being my plaything.”
Florence rolled up her sleeves to whack him, but Danica stopped her.

She walked to Albert and looked at him condescendingly. “You know Master V?”
Albert looked at her arrogantly and boasted, “You’ve heard of Master V? I tell you. Master V is a medical genius, a giant. A hick like you isn’t good enough to see her. Unlike you, I know Master V.”
Danica raised her brows and laughed, “You claim you know Master V. Can you prove it?”
Albert said. “I have Master V’s phone number. I can call her right away.”
Danica nodded, “OK. Go ahead.”
Florence untied Albert.
Albert stood up and took out his phone from his trouser pocket. He did have Master V’s phone number.
The other day when Master V performed the surgery on Jennifer, he’d snuck into the director’s office and saw Master V’s number.
Albert smirked, “Danica, I’ll call her now. You’ll be impressed by my power!”
Then, he dialed Master V’s number.
The melodious ringtone sounded. The call was answered calmly.
He got through.
Albert’s face turned flushed with excitement. He began servilely, “Hello, Master V. I’m Albert Bryant from Charhelm Hospital. I’ve been admiring you for a long time. Do I have the honor to meet you?”
A smooth voice said at the other end of the line, “Turn around.”
Turn around?

What did it mean?
No, wait.
The voice seemed to come from behind him.
Holding his phone, Albert turned around slowly.
Standing behind him with her phone in her hand, Danica winked playfully and said with a half smile, “Dr. Bryant, congratulations. Now, you’ve met Master V.”
Albert froze and gasped with astonishment. He stared in disbelief at Danica, who stood before him.
She wore a long dress, the hem of which reached her thin ankles. Amused, she smiled at Albert, as if watching the clumsy performance of a clown.
Albert’s legs went soft, and he knelt before Danica with a thud.
