Chapter 64: Drugged

It was Rebecca.

Sandra had saved her dad, and Rebecca frequently updated Sandra about his health condition.

Oliver had made a full recovery and was due to be discharged from the hospital.

Sandra answered the call.

“Is this Sandra?”

The voice on the other end was unfamiliar, not Rebecca.

“Sandra, please hang up!”

sobs followed, unmistakably Rebecca.

Rebecca must have been kidnapped

Sandra walked out of the office.

“Who are you?” she inquired.

The caller demanded that she come to Glory Hospital immediately to save Rebecca’s life.

Sandra’s eyes flashed with endless coldness.

Rebecca had been a comforting presence during her secluded life.

Rebecca’s a nice girl and should be under her protection.

Now, someone dares to use Rebecca to coerce her?

Sandra ended the call.

“Mr. Cooper,” Joey called out, his expression serious.

The Design Department had been swamped with work due to orders from two major clients..

Even–Wesley had been busy working on a contract when Joey entered

his office.

“What?”

Wesley asked without looking up.

Joey gasped for air, clearly with urgent news to share.

“Mrs. Cooper has left the company,” informed Joey, checking the car’s GPS, which showed she was en route to Glory Hospital.

Wesley paused in his movements.

Joey added, “Earl is also hospitalized there.”

Earl was not punished enough last night and she was seeking to beat

him?

The Black family was not to be trifled with.

This might not result in an unscathed departure.

Wesley’s face darkened, “Prepare the car. ”

Joey swiftly departed the company with Wesley.

Their departure was hardly a secret.

It was promptly brought to the attention of Debra, who sneered disdainfully.

“You don’t take work seriously, do you?”

Kenny said,

“Mrs. Cooper, if we do not penalize Wesley and Sandra for unexcused absence from work, it may set a poor example for the rest of our

workforce.”

His words had struck a chord in Debra’s heart.

Debra said, “See what the company policy dictates and administer the sanction accordingly.”

Kenny seemed dissatisfied, “Just that?”

Debra’s lips curled into a smirk.

“They are department leaders. Thus, they deserve threefold the penalty.”

Kenny immediately brightened at her response,

“Mrs. Cooper, you are good.”

A warehouse of Glory Hospital.

Rebecca was bound to a chair, body marred by bruises and cuts.

A fresh flow of blood ran from her forehead.

Her gaze remained defiant, resolutely declining to divulge any information regarding Sandra.

A woman stood before her, donned in a Chanel haute couture.

The click–clack of her stiletto heels reverberating through the room.

She would have been deemed elegant at Fashion Week but now seemed sinister within the shadowy confines of the warehouse.

“Still unwilling to speak?”

the woman inquired, her lips twitching with a cold smile.

Rebecca glowered back.

“Very well, you’ve got spirit and loyalty. It doesn’t surprise me since Sandra has granted you a job and cured your dad.

She knows how to buy people’s hearts, doesn’t she?”

The position was given to her by Sandra?

Her eyes immediately moistened.

Sandra is really too kind to her.

She had nothing to repay in Sandra lifetime

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak, Elle won’t leave you to die once she learns you’re here. I’ll wait for her arrival.”

Rebecca’s rage palpable in her vehement retort about not sparing the woman, even in death.

Undeterred by her threats, the woman coldly dismissed them as boring

At that moment, one of her bodyguards burst through the door, announcing Sandra’s imminent arrival.

Sandra had been meticulously tracking Rebecca’s whereabouts using sophisticated hacking techniques, now closing in on the warehouse

The woman glanced at her watch with appreciation

“She’s quicker than I thought.”

*Shall we let her in?” her bodyguard inquired.

The woman nodded, instructing him to administer a specific drug to

Rebecca.

Rebecca couldn’t withstand the torture and was forced to take it.

The woman smirked, “Sandra is going to beg me for the antidote.”

She departed through an alternate exit with her bodyguards.

The moment they vacated, the warehouse door was violently kicked

open.

Sandra stood at the threshold, an aura of fury about her.

Rebecca, overcome with relief, sobbed, “Sandra.”

Her voice choked with emotion.

Through her recent tortures, she had shed no tears. Now they

streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Sandra surveyed the warehouse interior swiftly, releasing Rebecca from her restraints.

Rebecca gestured towards a section of the wall with a secret exit through which her captors had fled.

Sandra frowned.

They only wanted to show her Rebecca’s distress?

Their hasty retreating was baffling.

Ignoring the secret passage, she grabbed Rebecca’s wrist instead.

Rebecca struggled, insisting she was unharmed.

Sandra remained silent and continued to check her pulse.

Immediately, Sandra’s face turned even darker.

Rebecca’s voice has become much quieter,

“I’ve been catching a cold lately, just take some medicine and it’ll be fine.”

Sandra released her hand.

“You’ve been given a slow–acting poison.”

Rebecca, taken aback, realized she referred to the drug she had been forced to swallow.

“It is an experimental drug and its properties have not been determined yet.”

This implied there might be no cure.

Pale with fear, Rebecca soon resigned herself to her fate.

“Sandra, it’s okay…”

Sandra interrupted, “Without an antidote, you have only three months to live.”

Rebecca trembled.

“Sandra…”

“They’re forcing my hand!” Sandra clenched her fists, eyes blazing with vengeful fire.
