Chapter 3 3. Don't accuse me!

Apparently, Andrea didn't want to miss out on anything that could prevent Michael from ever marrying Jessica. She created a scandal between herself and Michael, through Jessica. She also wanted to show Jessica that she could have Michael, Jessica's future husband.

Scandal!!! The sex scandal between her and Michael would certainly be a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Michael is now fully aware of the situation, "Get out of this room! If even one photo or piece of news gets out, I'll make your lives a living hell!" Michael issued a stern warning to the journalists.

The atmosphere grew silent, with only Jessica's sobs echoing through the room.

"Andrea, how could you do all this to me? I know you hate me so much, so you seduced my fiancé to hurt me. You're truly evil!" Tears continued to flow down Jessica's beautiful face. The woman looked utterly heartbroken.

Michael heard Jessica's words clearly, then turned his face to look at the woman beside him with a cold expression. But Andrea just ignored it.

Apparently, the woman had deliberately drugged him to hurt Jessica, so she had targeted him from the start. The man hated people who took advantage of him like this. Especially someone who dared to drug him!

He had never had an intimate relationship with Jessica, nor had he ever been affectionate with her. How dare Andrea trap him into having sex with her?

Michael didn't remember much of what happened last night, but he knew exactly that he had indeed had sex with that woman.

"Andrea! How could you do such a cursed thing?" James couldn't hold back his anger, influenced by Jessica's words.

"I have no one in this world. Why are you meddling in my business?" The woman coldly stated that she had no relationship with James or Jessica.

"But..."

"Michael, you wouldn't betray me, would you? Andrea must have drugged you." Jessica looked at Michael.

The handsome and powerful man had always wanted to be the queen of the Smith family. She would never let that position slip from her.

"Don't make such accusations! Do you think a man would admit to betrayal? If you're so sure I drugged him, you can have him examined right now!" Andrea challenged Jessica calmly. After all, no one could prove that Michael had been drugged, as she had used the latest anesthetic, which wasn't even available on the black market yet.

Andrea's social circle over the past few years had introduced her to many brilliant individuals with unconventional ideas. She owed this to her extensive network.

The woman considered it a stroke of luck that she could protect herself and receive assistance from those in the underworld.

A murderous aura was visible in Michael's eyes; he felt used and called a traitor. If that damn woman hadn't drugged him, would he have touched her? He was certain she had made extensive preparations.

"Jessica, Uncle James, please leave this room! I'll explain everything to both of you, later," Michael's face was emotionless, flat, and cold.

Jessica and James were actually still unsatisfied, but they dared not confront Michael.

Michael's arrogant and dominant tone had left them unable to argue further. With annoyed expressions, they finally left.

Michael quickly picked up his clothes and put them on one by one. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and said, "Destroy the Van Houten Jewelry company!"

Andrea wasn't a naive or innocent woman; she wouldn't have come without preparation.

"Mr. Michael, I have video evidence that I didn't force you and didn't do what you're accusing me of. If you want to destroy me, I can destroy you by spreading that scandalous video!" Her words were calm, and her expression didn't change.

Michael hung up the call and turned his gaze to Andrea, who was wearing an innocent expression.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Try to touch my company, and you'll find out whether I'm threatening you or not."

"You're really daring to trap me!"

"Again, you're accusing me! You have no evidence for your accusations. I already refused, but you insisted. Maybe I was a little drunk so I just accepted your invitation. And please, before you accuse me, prove your words first. Do you think I trapped you by giving you a stimulant?"

"Stop your nonsense! If you didn't drug me, I would never have had sex with you!"

"Mr. Michael, if you're truly convinced I drugged you, you must prove it in writing." Andrea's index finger was about to stroke Michael's handsome face, but Michael quickly grabbed her hand.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife; if looks could kill, Andrea would already be dead.

"I will prove it, and you'll see what I'll do once I have the proof!"

With the evidence, he could destroy Andrea's company, even if the video spread across the internet.

"Alright, I'll wait for it! If you can't prove it, then I will sue you!" Andrea replied casually. She wasn't afraid of his threat at all. No one could obtain the drug he possessed. The medicine was a discovery made by a close friend of his, and no one in the underworld could obtain it.

The man roughly pushed his hand away and left Andrea, his anger boiling inside him.

He immediately contacted his assistant to go to the hospital and conduct a thorough examination. He needed to obtain the evidence and eliminate that woman as soon as possible.

***

Michael threw the results of his physical examination in anger. Impossible! How could there be no traces of anesthetic in the results?

"Are you sure these results are correct?" Michael asked his assistant.

"I've asked the hospital to conduct a re-examination, but the results are the same! There are no traces of sedatives in your body, I assure you!" the assistant replied cautiously.

He knew clearly that his boss was holding back his anger. He couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake, lest he set off a time bomb in front of him.

Michael slammed his fist on the desk. What kind of drug had that woman used that it couldn't be detected in her body?

How was he supposed to prove his innocence? Michael had never been in this situation before. That woman had clearly come prepared.

"Call Max immediately!! Ask him about this type of drug!" Michael spoke harshly, prompting his assistant to act on his orders. Max was a man involved in the underworld.

"Nothing! Not a single trace of that drug has been found so far. If it existed, it would be in my hands right now." Max's response didn't satisfy Michael.

"What happened? Did someone drug you?"

"Yes, but when I checked, the drug wasn't detected."

"The woman who did this to you must be tired of living. Do you need me to kill her?"

"No need! I can handle that damn woman myself."

Max felt sorry for the woman involved with Michael, as the outcome was certain death.

"Find out more about it. Maybe this drug is newly discovered!" Michael was still trying to get information about the drug. Who knows, maybe it's still new in the underworld?

"Alright! I'll order my men to investigate immediately. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything!"

Michael hung up the call. The anger in his eyes grew even more intense.
