Mysterious Mr.Richard
Chapter105 Just For Fun

"Hey..." Pearl was quite startled.

His lips came down fiercely on her, seemingly wanting to crush her into pieces. There was no pity, nor was there any love.

Pearl's hands were firmly grasped by him.

The drug started to take effect on Richard's body, and the boiling blood stirred up all of his emotions. Now Richard'd lost all of his rationality. He couldn't even control himself.

He still remembered that night from seven years ago vividly. However, after that night, Pearl disappeared from this city without a trace.

Thinking of that particular night, Richard's dark eyes lit up with a layer of burning fire. The force he exerted with his hands was getting out of control under the drug's stimulation. Then her dress was torn apart.

Pearl's scream was stuck in her throat. The next second, she was thrown onto the bed of the hotel.

"Clang." It was the sound of a leather belt unbuckling.

Pearl's mind went blank. She gripped the bedsheet beneath her and wanted to struggle. However, Richard used merely one hand to hold her down, pinning her to the bed. She couldn't move at all.

Pearl's face turned ashen the moment her dress was torn apart.

At the same time, the guests were having a good time in the hall.

Ethan wandered among a group of relatives and elders of the Louise family, listening to the same strict lectures ever since he was a child. His mind and body had grown numb towards the teachings, but he stil kept a polite and indifferent smile on his face.

Quite a few people advised him to give up his career as a doctor and to take over the family business. But in fact, no one truly hoped that he would return.

He had seen enough of this ever since he was a child. Human nature was fickle.

Eventually, it was time to cut the cake in celebration. Ethan squeezed out of the crowd. The butler caught up from behind, asking: "They're about to blow the candles now. Why are you leaving, young Mr. Louise?"

"There are already so many people lining up to give their regards. It wouldn't be any less without me."

"Madam loves you the most. She may feel disappointed if you didn't pay much attention to her birthday."

The butler had watched as Ethan grew up, and he was like a family member to Ethan.

Frowning, he said: "I was just going to look for Pearl. She went upstairs to have a rest just now. Mom likes her so it'd be better if she's here."

"That's right. Mr. Louise, you're much more mature than before." The butler smiled.

Before leaving, Ethan looked around the hall, but he didn't see Richard.

He was a bit confused. It was still early now. No matter how early he wanted to leave, he should wait until the end of the celebration.

Ethan didn't bother to think about it. After getting into the elevator, he took out the spare room card from his pocket and glanced at the room number.

With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the 36th floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he heard a voice coming from the corridor on the right side.

"Why can't you replace him? He was only gone for a while. He must still be in the hotel."

The familiar voice made Ethan's footsteps halt at the elevator. He looked in the direction where the voice came from. There were some people bustling around, who were in a hurry.

NOW PLAY YOUR

FAVOURITE GAMES ON

"Miss Wood, isn't Boss resting in his room? Why did he come out?" The other person who spoke was Richard's assistant, Ted. Ethan had met him before as well.

"Why are you asking about this now? Find him quickly!"

Ted'd already ordered the security guards and the driver to help look for Richard floor by floor. However, they still didn't replace him after a long time.

Ted felt that something was fishy as he recalled Adriana's panicked look when he came upstairs to pick up Mr. Zellweger. What the hell had happened?

"Mr. Zellweger just had a few drinks. You don't need to be worried, Miss Wood. Nothing will happen."

"Hurry up and replace him! Stop with your nonsense." Adriana shrieked.

Her high-pitched voice caused Ted to be stunned.

Adriana'd always maintained a good temper. Whether it was for putting on an act or for real, she had always been a virtuous and gentle person in public. There were very few times when she was so fierce, but now, the colour of her face alternated between green and pale.

After all, she was Richard's fiancee. Ted had no choice but to hurriedly follow the security guards to replace Richard.

Adriana was left alone in the corridor, and her phone was suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the caller ID, Adriana looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby. Then she carefully walked to the stairwell and pressed the answer button.

It was her bestie.

"Stop it. I don't have time to talk about this right now," Adriana said anxiously.

"Will the drug pose a threat to his life?"

...

"Stop asking me. Richard's missing now!"

Adriana spoke in a low voice as she was talking to her friend. When the word "drug" was mentioned, Ethan pulled open the door of the stairwell and asked: "What drug?"

Adriana was shocked. With a "bang", her phone slipped from her palm and fell down the stairs directly.

Looking back, she saw Ethan, folding his arm and leaning against the door frame of the stairwell. His pair of captivating eyes were gleaming brightly, and he said frivolously, "If I didn't mishear, Miss Wood, you drugged your fiancé, right?"

Adriana's face turned pale as she quickly denied, "What drug? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Do you want to listen to what you said again?" Ethan raised his phone.

"You..." Now Adriana's face was twisting in anger, and she almost bit her tongue. She couldn't believe Ethan Louise was such a rascal.

If the recording was leaked out, she wouldn't be able to clear her name no matter what she did. She wouldn't be able to marry Richard.

"What exactly do you want?" Adriana clenched her fist, "Mr. Louise, you've tried to make things difficult for me again and again. Why exactly are you doing this?"

Ethan smiled brightly as he said: "Just for fun!"
