The entire Gil family, and Dennis, who was trying to escape, were eventually brought under control.
The banquet was naturally scattered and the guests left confused by the incident.
Since Henry was present, however, they did not dare to ask further.
They could only have all kinds of wild guesses in their mind.
After all, it was Henry Han.
He was the real owner of the Han Group and controlled the lifeblood of the entire Ambario business world.
It was no exaggeration to say that, even if he wanted to marry a princess, it would not be difficult.
Furthermore, the Han family, along with the Kawn family, the Nixon family, and the Bissel family, had always been listed as the four most powerful families in the country of Ambario. And the marriages in such families had rarely been made by themselves. Most of them were just political marriages.
How would the Han family allow their most outstanding heir to marry a commoner’s daughter?
The crowd couldn’t help gossiping about it.
For those who had been experienced with the business world, they had their judgment after the initial shock.
In their eyes, it was just normal for men to fool around with all kinds of women, and for them, Henry was not an exception.
He had never been involved in scandals before and rumors even had it that that he didn’t like women.
But the truth was just that he just had not met anyone he liked.
Now that he finally met one, naturally he indulged her as much as he could.
But indulgence was different from marriage.
After all, no one had ever heard that Henry had gotten married, let alone that there was a Mrs. Han.
But Zoe was considered lucky. Even if there was no possibility of joining the Han family herself, being able to be with Henry for a period of time was a blessing that other women could only envy.
Everyone had speculations in their hearts, while Henry didn’t even care about these people’s thoughts.
Zoe had been drugged, and he knew that the moment he caught her just now.
It was because of this that he did not immediately go to the Gil family and Dennis for their crimes.
After all, it was more important to help her out.
Inside the lavishly decorated president suite, Archie placed her on the bed and turned around to get her a towel.
The hem of his shirt was suddenly grabbed by a fair hand.
Zoe looked at him with a weak face, with a thin layer of scarlet clouds covering her delicate face. Her red lips parted slightly.
“I want some water.”
She still couldn’t make a sound, but Henry could read it from her mouth anyway.
“Just a minute.”
When he returned, he walked in with an cup of warm water in his hand, in addition to a hot towel.
He walked over to the bed and sat down, helping Zoe up, feeding her half a glass of water and taking the hot towel to wipe her face and hands.
Zoe felt itchy from the heat of the towel, as if there were a million little bugs crawling through her body. She was uncomfortable as hell.
She struggled for a moment. When Henry withdrew his hand, he saw her delicate eyebrows frowning gently, and her watery eyes staring at himself, which then immediately closed again, as if she was struggling against something in pain.
The clothes on her body had long been disheveled in the struggle, and the long black tube top dress was slightly loosened, revealing some of the skin.
A pinky flush crept up her neck from her breasts, spreading to her ears, and finally covering her entire face, adding a hint of sexiness to that pale delicacy.
The fine, soft hair was wet with sweat from the pain, sticking to the corners of her forehead and neck, and her entire body exuded an indescribable sense of disheveled beauty.
Henry looked at her. His breathing became slightly heavy, and his dark pupils slightly dilated for a moment.
He reached out, gently wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead, and then he said in a calm voice.
“Zoe, I am your husband, you have the right to ask me to do anything.”
Yet the woman seemed unable to hear what he just said.
She curled up in pain, wrapping her arms around herself and even burying her face in it, as if trying to control herself so she wouldn’t do something impulsive.
Henry frowned and reached out to feel her forehead.
Her skin was scalding.
He just looked at her and he said in a deep voice.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
Zoe shook her head, and then she suddenly lifted her face and said silently.
“I need a doctor.”
Henry looked at the shape of her mouth and didn’t say anything.
Zoe wasn’t sure if he had understood her,
but she really didn’t have the strength to do anything more than that. She buried her face in again, and her entire body curled up like a shrimp in a defensive position. Her slim body seemed to be shivering slightly.
She was holding back as long as she could.
Watching her, Henry didn’t even know what he should feel about it.
He sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at her for a moment. After a long while, he gave a cold laugh.
His laugh sounded self-deprecating and at the same time disappointed. Suddenly, he got up and lifted up a thin quilt to cover Zoe before striding outside.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The doctor arrived soon after.
Almost as soon as Henry had gone out, a doctor in her casual clothes walked in accompanied by Brian.
At this point, it was impossible for Brian to go to the hospital to find a doctor, but fortunately, the Han Mansion always had a family doctor. He called her at once, and the doctor rushed over at a fast pace in about ten minutes.
Zoe curled up in the thin, soft silk quilt, felt her hand being pulled, and shrank back reflexively.
Seeing this, the doctor said in a soft voice.
“Mrs. Han, don’t be afraid, I’m a doctor, I’m here to see you.”
Perhaps having heard her words, Zor let her guard down and allowed her to pull her hand over.
Then the covers were lifted. Her body had already been burning for the drug, and covered by the quilt, she was naturally covered with sweat now.
The doctor frowned unhappily.
“How can you cover her with quilt in this situation? She’ll get a pseudo-heatstroke.”
The corner of Henry’s eyes slanted, though there was still little expression on his face.
The doctor didn’t notice his look and carefully finished examining Zor, then took out a potion and injected the content into her.
Zoe cooperated obediently throughout, without any resistance.
Brian, however, felt a vague sense of displeasure.
He gave Henry a curious glance, wondering why his boss was suddenly upset while he just left him for ten minutes.
Ah!
He must be mad at the Gil and that scum Dennis!
After all, if they dared to do such a thing to Zoe! It was just impossible for any man to let them off.
Brian felt that he was too perceptive, speculating in his mind how his boss would handle this matter. Secretly, he thought of several good ways that he could take it out for the future Mrs. Han
The doctor had finished the injection for Zoe.
She turned her head to Henry and said in calm voice.
“I just gave her the antidote, but it will take a little while for her recover. Stay with her for now. If she feels uncomfortable, let her soak in cold water and she’ll be fine after a while.”
Henry remained expressionless, a cold look on his face, but asked.
“Why can’t she talk yet?”
