She was startled and immediately backed away, leaving only a crack in the door to observe the situation outside.
Seeing Benjamin Lucas IX hurrying down the hallway with a group of people, she waited until they were far away before slowly peeking out from the crack in the door.
Then, she saw Benjamin Lucas IX knocking on the door of a room along the corridor.
After a moment, the door to the room was opened from the inside, and by the figure, it was indeed Aidan Lucas.
At that moment, Milly Gray had an idea.
If Aidan Lucas appeared in another room, this meant that last night he was not taken away by Benjamin Lucas IX.
She had seen the effects of the blue poison herself.
A man affected by the blue poison simply couldn’t remain conscious, let alone restrain himself.
The most primitive desires within were stirred up.
No matter what, Aidan Lucas had definitely spent last night in that room, in bed with a woman.
The drug was so powerful that anyone who took it would completely forget what happened while under its influence.
That was the case with Simon Taylor in the past.
He couldn’t remember who the woman he’d slept with was, nor could he recall who initiated the seduction.
In the past, Rowena Gray had used this tactic against Simon Taylor.
And now, she was ready to repeat the trick, to manipulate Aidan Lucas at her will.
Milly Gray thought of her excuse and took the opportunity to run to the stairwell diagonally across from her room while no one was paying attention.
Then she walked down two floors and took the elevator back up.
After all, she had made up her mind; she would just cry and bemoan her fate upon seeing Aidan Lucas.
If there was no one in his room, she would definitively claim that she was the woman who had spent the passionate night with him.
If there was someone in his room.
Well, that would be even simpler.
She would accuse him of being a beast, of not only forcing himself upon her but also randomly grabbing a girl for a threesome.
By then, she didn’t believe, with her status as Simon Taylor’s favored stepdaughter and daughter, that Aidan Lucas could push her away!
Milly Gray’s calculations were making a loud clatter in her mind.
Yet she never expected that Aidan Lucas wouldn’t believe a single word she said.
As she was feeling smug, she heard the man’s cold voice: “Benjamin Lucas IX, where is the surveillance video you were ordered to obtain? Go get it now. I want to see last night’s footage of this floor.”
“Yes, Mr. Lucas.”
Benjamin Lucas IX, suppressing his nausea, pushed Milly Gray to a safe distance away from Aidan Lucas before instructing a subordinate to carry out the task.
The moment Milly Gray heard Aidan Lucas’s chilly voice, she was completely dumbfounded.
She… How could she have forgotten about the surveillance video!
When she was setting everything up, she deliberately chose a room directly opposite the surveillance camera.
The reason was that she wanted Aidan Lucas to see through the surveillance that it was her who ‘reluctantly’ helped him back to his room afterward.
But now, her plan had not succeeded at all.
If Aidan Lucas had the surveillance brought up, then all the lies she had just told would be completely exposed!
The air of confidence around Milly Gray dissipated immediately.
She shrank her neck and helplessly clasped her hands together, gently trembling.
She knew all too well what kind of person Aidan Lucas was.
If the deed had been done and he discovered any hint of it, she could still rely on having been ‘wronged’ to get Simon Taylor’s support.
But now, nothing had happened, and her lies were about to be punctured…
Milly Gray could no longer control the shaking of her body; she felt her legs go weak, her entire body drained of strength.
