The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 996 Weird Drunkenness

After Sean drank from his glass, he seemed much more depressed than before.

Vivian slowly chewed her food before picking up another glass and taking a sip of wine. She thenlooked at Sean’s sad face, knowing that there was definitely something going on between him andEstella.

She still had to thank her, though. If Estella and Sean hadn’t had a dispute, Vivian wouldn’t have had achance to drug Sean’s drink.

“Your pasta is getting cold if you don’t start eating now,” Vivian said as she wiped her mouth with anapkin. She then flashed Sean a smile.

Now, all she needed to do was to wait for the drug to take effect. It would take a while, though. Thedrug could make people sluggish, much like how drunk people act. “I’ll eat,” Sean replied, giving her ashy smile.

“Okay.” Vivian nodded and took another sip of her wine. “Didn’t you ask me about my relationship withMiss Turner? I actually met her before I went abroad.”

Hearing that, Sean focused his attention on her as he asked, “It seems like you and Miss Turner gotalong well when she was alive.”

“Not exactly. Miss Turner just came to visit us on behalf of the Larson Group’s charity programs.Although when I talked to her, I did have a feeling that she was a very kind person. During the time Iwas abroad, I always looked forward to going back home and meeting her again. I didn’t expect that

the time we parted at the airport when I went abroad would be the last time we met each other,” Vivianexplained, her voice slowly- breaking as she did so.

She then picked up the bottle and filled her and Sean’s glass before she continued, “Let’s not talkabout this. I know Miss Turner’s reputation isn’t good in the Larson Group.”

Although Charis had already passed away, there were still rumors in the Larson Group that she hadgone crazy during her last days. Vivian would get mad every time she heard someone badmouthCharis.

Sean didn’t ask any more so his intentions in gathering such information wouldn’t be exposed. Viviankept pouring wine for Sean while they chatted. Eventually, both of them finished a bottle of wine, whichcaused them to be a little drunk.

Sean wasn’t a heavy drinker, so he didn’t notice anything unusual.

“My head hurts. I need to sleep for a while,” Vivian said as she bent over the table, pretending to bedrunk.

She had already investigated Sean beforehand. He had a good temper, a clean background, and wasdisciplined. He had only been in love a few times. His family usually attached great importance toreputation, which was most likely the reason why Brandon chose Sean as his assistant.

That was exactly why she planned to replace a whore from a nightclub to sleep with Sean. If that were tohappen, she could blackmail him at the right time.

Eventually, Sean felt dizzy, so he stood up and paid the bill. He then looked at Vivian and said, “It’s timeto go home.”

He was still able to control himself now even though he was dizzy. He was the type of person whowould rather avoid risks.

“Miss Turner was probably very kind to you. She’s a family to us orphans,” Vivian said, tears streamingdown her face as she spoke.

Sean picked up a piece of tissue and handed it to her. “If Miss Turner was still alive, she wouldn’t wantto see you sad.”

Vivian clutched the tissue in her hand for a moment before she buried her face in her arms andsobbed. She wasn’t actually that emotional. She was just stalling time—anxiously waiting for the drugto affect Sean.

Before that could happen, she had to convince him to stay. She couldn’t let him leave.

Sean couldn’t make her stop crying. He even felt dizzier by the minute, so he supported his foreheadwith one hand and tried to stand up, but his legs went weak, causing him to fall back into his seat.

“Mr. Johnson, are you drunk?” Vivian asked while Sean was in a daze. He noticed her looking up athim, but he could barely hear what she was saying.

Eventually, Sean blacked out, and Vivian caught him in her arms. Once she was sure that he wasunconscious, she took out her phone and texted someone.

A long-haired woman appeared in front of the restaurant not long after. She had heavy makeup andwas wearing black stockings and a tight dark-red skirt. She smelled of cigarettes and alcohol, and itwas overpowering as she quickly walked toward Vivian. She frowned at the sight of Sean and asked,“He’s unconscious. Is he still capable?”

Vivian pushed Sean into the woman’s arms and tidied up her own clothes. “That’s your job, right?”

She picked up her bag and smiled. “I think this will be his first time. You should be good to him.”

That woman was actually a prostitute. She carefully observed Sean’s face and smiled. “He’s such alovely guy. I’m so lucky.”

Just when the woman was about to leave while holding Sean, someone suddenly swung open therestaurant’s front door. It was Estella.

She blocked the woman and frowned as she asked, “Where are you taking my boyfriend?”
