Without hesitating, she lunged forward, pretending to snatch the necklace back.
Actually, she wished she could take the opportunity to throw herself into Aidan Lucas's arms, increasing the stimulating effect on him.
Unfortunately, Aidan Lucas was quicker than her.
With a slight side-step, he easily avoided Hannah Ford's "ambush".
Then, he stood up, creating distance between him and Hannah Ford, who was still sitting on the sofa.
However.
Just as Aidan Lucas was about to look down and attempt to open the necklace, an odd, burning sensation suddenly erupted in his lower abdomen.
That strange sensation was similar to what he had experienced when Stewart Brown drugged him at the wine party.
Yet, it was distinctly different.
He could even feel his reason being slowly drained from his mind.
"Ethan... what's wrong with you... are you alright?"
Hannah Ford saw Aidan Lucas suddenly stand still and motionless.
She immediately stood up from the sofa, both surprised and flustered.
