The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 245

Murphy suddenly looked up and stared at me in confusion.

"What do you think could get both of us so drunk?"

Murphy's tolerance wasn't built in a day, but even Fabian wasn't a match for him.

I had seen quite a few people drugging drinks over the years, but this was the first time someone did it to me.

"Let's go find Fabian," I said.

The driver immediately turned the car around. Murphy handed me my phone carefully.

"Mr. Joplin, this is your phone. I don't know how, but it ended up in my pocket last night," he said.

Speaking of last night, I realized I had forgotten to ask how Murphy was doing.

"Where did you end up sleeping last night?" I asked.

There was no way Fabian would have been considerate enough to send him back to our hotel. Otherwise, his plan would have been exposed.

If Lorraine found out, she would have come looking for him. Then, his scheme would have fallen apart.

Murphy had possibly stayed at the same hotel as me, and…

I looked at the marks on his neck, and a bold thought crept into my mind.

He said, "At the hotel, right below your floor."

Murphy looked a bit uncomfortable. When he noticed my gaze, he immediately pulled up his collar.

I saw through his discomfort at a glance. "Did Fabian arrange someone for you too?"

Hearing that, Murphy immediately looked up in disbelief. "You too?"

I replied, "They arranged a woman for me, but nothing happened between the two of us."

He responded, "That's good."

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief. If the general manager of Joplin Group was caught with another woman after his marriage, the news would have been explosive.

"What about you? What happened?" I couldn't help but glance at his face and neck.

It seemed like he didn't fare much better than me.

I was completely passed out drunk last night, so I posed no threat to their plans.

I looked at the injuries on Murphy's body and sneered, "It looks like these people aren't planning on playing nice anymore."

Even if East Habor was Fabian's territory, targeting me was way too bold.

"Mr. Joplin, what do you plan to do?" Murphy looked at me questioningly. The resentment in his eyes was evident.

It was his first time falling for a scheme like this, so he was understandably unhappy about it.

"I have plenty of ways to make them suffer, but that'll have to wait until we're back," I replied.

Fabian was the one who held the power here, so I didn't want to provoke him. If he called for his allies, our situation could become very dangerous.

But it would be a different story once I got back. Joplin Group's resources were more than enough to destroy everything Fabian had overnight.

After half an hour, Murphy and I arrived at Fabian's residence.

It was in a quiet neighborhood of villas. It didn't seem like somewhere Fabian would stay.
