Chapter 1335 Too Naive (2/2)

If it really was Nora who was behind this, what should he do?

Arriving at the hotel, Carlos found that it was a small hotel. This was why it was favored by criminals. When he showed the receptionist at the front desk the work card, the receptionist was instantly confused and shocked out of his wits. This was only a small hotel, and the owner wouldn't want to be implicated in such a public scandal, or else the hotel would have to close its doors.

After a short while, Carlos stepped into the room that the two men had shared. He did not allow anyone else to follow him inside, so he entered the room by himself. Following the instr

path. If he knew that the threat of the poisoning was no longer a hold over her, he would find some other means to bargain with her. Perhaps he would then do something really bad to Carlos to gain her support again.

Thinking of this, Nora refuted, ”I really don't think Carlos and I are well matched. It's not good for either of us to continue wasting our time being with each other. After some consideration, it's better for us to just break up immediately. Plus, I've realized that I was just infatuated with him, and I didn't really love him at all. I guess you could say that I've realized he means nothing to me now. I've let him go.”

Nora maintained a very calm tone as she spoke to Darren, as if what she had said was a sincere statement.

She thought that she had convinced Darren, and he would believe her. When she listened carefully for his reply, she suddenly heard the sound of loud applauding from the other end of the call.

Nora instantly knew something was wrong, and soon, she heard Darren's devilish voice saying, ”You have discovered that the poison we gave him is actually just a substance that causes his body to have an allergic reaction to alcohol, right?”

She didn't know whether Darren was just guessing or if he had planted informants in their group. Without leaving any other recourse, she could only pretend to be surprised. ”What did you say? Do you mean that Carlos was not poisoned?”

However, she was way out of his league. Darren didn't fall for her naive pretense of being an idiot.

He thought for a while before he replied, ”I don't care if you really didn't know about it or not. However, now that I have told you the truth, I'm not afraid of you finding out about it.”
