Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

As the man’s burning lips fell on Violet Zimmerman’s lips, accompanied by a self-mocking sigh.

"Violet... I’ve been drugged!"

The kiss intensified, Joseph Lancaster’s burning lips pressed heavily on Violet Zimmerman’s lips, as if only this could alleviate things. His hand clasped on Violet Zimmerman’s back also applied force, as if to bind her into his body.

Feeling his heat, Violet Zimmerman became even more flustered, responding while asking with a crying tone, "Then what should we do... Gabriel, why don’t you hurry,"

Even though she had never experienced it, she knew it must be very uncomfortable.

"Fool, that would just be falling for their trap," he sighed with helplessness.

Downstairs, Aunt Zhang rushed to find the Second Young Master, and Aunt Xu quickly took out her phone to call Daemon Lancaster, speaking on the phone while glancing towards the stairs and the door from time to time.

"Master, everything is according to your plan... Um, now in Madam’s room... Okay, I’ll go there right away."

Ending the call, Aunt Xu held the phone, gently stepped up the stairs, and tiptoed to the door of Violet Zimmerman’s room, activating the phone’s video recording function. Just as she stretched her neck to listen, the door suddenly opened in front of her.

Violet Zimmerman had already regained her usual cool demeanor, frowning displeased at Aunt Xu’s sneaky appearance, "Aunt Xu, I asked you to make sobering soup. Why hasn’t it been delivered yet!"

Aunt Xu...

The reality differed greatly from her expectations, and for a moment she couldn’t react.

Seeing the video recording function activated on her phone, Violet Zimmerman continued to reprimand as if unaware, "Hurry up! The Second Master is so drunk, what kind of work are you doing!"

Being loudly scolded by Violet Zimmerman, Aunt Xu finally responded, hastily nodding repeatedly with a small face, saying, "Madam, I’ll go right away, right away."

Watching Aunt Xu’s panicked back, Violet Zimmerman slightly tightened her eyes, with a quick flash of light passing through her gaze.

Looks like Gabriel guessed right, Aunt Xu has been bribed by Daemon Lancaster and his people.

After dismissing Aunt Xu, Violet Zimmerman returned to the bedroom. To avoid leaving evidence, she helped Joseph Lancaster to lie on the sofa in the bedroom.

After all, their relationship was sensitive; if a uncle slept in his sister-in-law’s bed and was seen, people would gossip.

"Joseph, how are you? Can you hold on a little longer?" Violet Zimmerman squatted in front of the sofa, tightly holding Joseph Lancaster’s hand.

The latter’s consciousness was already beginning to blur. Feeling the cool touch of her palm, he drew it to his lips for a kiss.

Afraid Aunt Xu might walk in, Violet Zimmerman fiercely broke free, got up and headed to the bathroom, wetting a towel with cold water, and came out to place it on Joseph Lancaster’s forehead.

"Madam, the sobering soup is here."

Aunt Xu walked in cautiously with a small bowl of soup, coincidentally as Joseph Lancaster made a sound.

"Vio..." Before he could finish the name, Violet Zimmerman silenced him.

Pretending to wipe his face, Violet Zimmerman deliberately placed the wet towel over Joseph Lancaster’s lips as she turned back.

"Madam, you’re blocking the Second Master’s mouth," Aunt Xu said, placing the sobering soup on the small table and reminding her.

Violet Zimmerman then turned around, but didn’t hurry to remove the towel, rubbing his lips with it while saying, "The Second Master said he was thirsty just now, so I’m helping him moisten his lips."

Finishing, she calmly added, "Aunt Xu, go see if Evander has arrived."

Originally completely drunk, she became immediately clear-headed upon seeing Joseph Lancaster unwell.

Aunt Xu nonchalantly glanced at Joseph Lancaster lying on the sofa, even though covered with a blanket, there was still a slight bulge...

Retracting her gaze, Aunt Xu answered "Yes" and had to turn to leave.
