Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Ryan, This Is My Bedroom

The force behind the blows was immense. After just a few hits, the door was already on the verge of breaking!

Julian Sterling’s thick brows furrowed as he looked at Evelyn Grant. "Who did you call?"

Other than her, there was no reason for anyone to disturb them today! Who else besides his parents could just walk into the Sterling Estate?

Evelyn Grant couldn’t fight the drug’s effects and was already losing consciousness.

Her hands tore at the clothes that felt suffocating, making it hard to breathe, while she mumbled, "Hot... so hot..."

Julian Sterling had no intention of opening the door.

His plan was just one step away from success!

After a second’s hesitation, Julian Sterling yelled at the door, "I don’t care who you are, get lost! If you ruin this for me, you’ll pay!"

After he spoke, the banging on the door stopped.

He thought his threat had worked, but unexpectedly, the bedroom door was suddenly kicked open with immense force!

Julian Sterling instinctively looked up—

"Ry... Ryan?"

Ryan Sterling’s handsome face was terrifyingly dark.

His dark eyes swept over his older brother before landing squarely on Evelyn Grant on the bed.

Her clothes were in disarray, and she was curled into a ball, large patches of her pale skin exposed.

"Did you do something to her?"

"..." Julian Sterling felt a flash of guilt, but he quickly straightened his back. "This is none of your business. It’s between my wife and me."

His expression darkened as he stood up from the bedside and walked over, displeased. "Ryan, this is my bedroom. Get out."

Before Julian Sterling could get close, Ryan Sterling suddenly strode forward and swung a fist straight into his face!

"Ah!"

"This might be your bedroom, but Evelyn Grant is not your woman!" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Ryan Sterling gritted his teeth.

He had already raised his fist for another punch, but a glimpse of Evelyn Grant still struggling in agony on the bed caught his eye.

She was on the verge of shock...

Ryan Sterling’s eyes darkened. He strode forward, swept Evelyn Grant into his arms, and turned to leave.

"You can’t take her!" Seeing this, Julian Sterling forgot the pain in his face and immediately spread his arms to block the way.

"Move, or I’m calling the police."

"..."

It was only then that Julian Sterling noticed his own brother’s eyes were almost completely bloodshot.

He had no doubt that if Evelyn Grant weren’t in her current state, in desperate need of help, Ryan Sterling might have actually killed him.

"You... Your feelings for Evelyn Grant..."

"We’ll settle this score, but not now."

With that, Ryan Sterling carried Evelyn Grant out of the Sterling Estate.

Julian Sterling was left standing alone in the middle of the bedroom, countless suspicions flooding his mind. He didn’t even dare to think about them too deeply...

「...」

Ryan Sterling placed Evelyn Grant in the car and opened the windows.

But the circulating air had no effect on her at all!

Evelyn Grant could no longer open her eyes, her cheeks growing redder by the second. "Hot..."

"Almost there! Just hold on a little longer!"

Ryan Sterling knew taking her home would be too slow, so he found a hotel at the nearest address.

He carried Evelyn Grant inside and placed her in the bathtub. Ryan couldn’t bring himself to use ice-cold water directly, so he started with lukewarm water first.

He had no experience with this and didn’t know how to counteract such a drug, only assuming this would soothe her.

Suddenly, Ryan Sterling remembered that Harry Quinn often frequented nightclubs and might know something.

He made the call. After listening, Harry Quinn said very seriously, "If she’s about to pass out, then the fastest way to save her right now is for you two... to actually do it."

It’s much faster than taking her to a hospital.
