At Violet Zimmerman's residence, Joseph Lancaster also intended to leave, but as soon as he stood up, his body swayed.
Dizziness hit him hard, and his body became scorching hot. A surge of heat gathered within him, then rushed quickly towards his lower abdomen.
He was no naive youngster; the brothers taking turns offering him drinks last night already felt suspicious, but he hadn't expected to be set up right in his own home.
Housekeeper Xu pretended to tidy up the tea set, but in fact, she was quietly observing. Seeing Joseph Lancaster with closed eyes, swaying, she secretly curled her lips into a smile.
Violet Zimmerman also noticed something wrong with Joseph and, enduring a splitting headache, propped herself up on the sofa and walked over.
"Joseph, are you all right?"
The worry and urgency on Violet's face were noticed by Housekeeper Xu, who also put down the tea set and walked over to support Joseph's other arm, feigning concern.
