Chapter 1088 Do You Believe Me

Irene had a sleepless night ahead of her.

She couldn't keep still after she left the party. She never expected that her carefully thought out plan would be so easily exposed. Unfortunately for her, the An siblings saw through it from the start.

There was nothing she could do about it, anymore. Her only concern now, was Cody.

What if he found everything out? What would he think of her? He had already been annoyed by her constantly forcing her presence on him. She knew if the An siblings ever told Cody what she had done, he would never want to see her again.

She couldn't let this happen. She needed to turn the situation around.

Sally already had a nurturing brother and now Oliver, not to mention a handful of men, willing to take care of her.

But all Irene had was Cody.

Meanwhile, Cody was carrying Sally back to the car.

Once they reached the vehicle, there was a driver already waiting for them. Cody had called him earlier, so he was free to attend to Sally.

Anyone who knew Cody well enough was aware of how much he loved to drive, to the point of racing against other cars whenever he was available. He would only call for a driver on really rare occasions.

"Drive us to the hospital!"

"I'm not going to the hospital..."

As soon as Sally heard the word "hospital", she got up and widened her eyes.

"Yes, you are. Who knows if there are any other ingredients in that drug that aren't safe. For the sake of safety, we'll have you undergo a check-up. If something's wrong, we will find out and treat it immediately!"

Sally was generally fearless of anything, but Cody knew that she hated the thought of a syringe needle going into her body.

"No, I am not going!"

"It's not your call this time. Your health is the most important thing now."

"I feel fine. Why should I go to the hospital?"

Looking deep into his eyes, Sally pursed her lips and then decided to confess, "Look, I'm doing perfectly okay. I made it all up. I wasn't really drugged. Now we can turn this car around so you can go back and apologize to your girlfriend.

She's probably still there crying in some corner. Don't you believe me? Oh, Cody! I can't live without you..."

Sally mockingly hugged herself, impersonating Irene's voice.

She was sure that Cody would fume with rage at her joke.

But he just gapped in shock until his face began to lighten up with relief. Tightening his grip on her shoulders, he asked, "Sally, are you serious? You weren't drugged? You are not lying to me? You aren't just saying this because of you

te. Carla and Terence had also been good examples for both her and Adonis that they should never make promises to anyone or settle down unless they were sure that they found the one.

After all, marriage was a lifetime commitment.

"Sally, are you back?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm back!"

Sally answered quickly, allowing her thoughts to drift away.

"Oh, so you're in bed early. Has Adonis come back yet?"

Carla asked, her voice muffled by the closed door. She knew her children went to the party together.

"He… err… not yet. He was dancing with a beautiful girl when I left. She had nice long legs, and he couldn't take his hands off her waist the entire time. They seemed to get along. Anyway, I didn't want to disturb him, so I came back first!"

With her stuffed Hello Kitty in one hand, Sally rolled on the bed and laughed.

"Oh? Really? Next time, remember to take a photo of this girl so I can see if Adonis has good taste.

Goodnight, honey!"

Once her mother left, Sally kept a silly smile on her face. Carla was so smart that it was useless to try to deceive her.

A couple hours later, Adonis came back home.

Unaware that his sister had already told their mother about his date, Adonis knocked on Sally's door and asked about her feet.

He had woken her up, but she answered him casually before turning over to go back to sleep.

At the same time, Sally's phone lit up on the table. But since it was muted, she didn't notice it.

In the next room, Adonis was already taking his clothes off and getting ready to take a shower when suddenly his phone rang.

He grabbed the device and stared at the caller ID.

For a moment, he hesitated. But then he decided to answer it.
