She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 948: I Want to Kiss You

Pip Finch put a packet of white powder into the tea and said matter-of-factly, "Didn’t I just say it? It’s a knockout drug."

Third Elder: "..."

...

In the hall, everyone except Corvus Hades and Elias Hawthorne had left.

After more than ten minutes, the heart-wrenching pain in Raina North’s body finally subsided, followed by a burning sensation.

It felt as if the blood coursing through her veins was aflame, scorching every drop dry, a feeling that could only be described as living hell.

The only moment of comfort came when she caught a glimpse of Corvus Hades from the corner of her eye.

Even if he did nothing but sat quietly on a chair, to her he was still as mesmerizing as a magnet.

Meanwhile, Elias Hawthorne’s face was ashen, his presence exuding an icy aura, almost tangible.

Raina’s rationality remained, and she forcefully pulled her gaze back, gritting her teeth in hatred at the mastermind behind it all!

If not for him, Mrs. Reed wouldn’t have used the Insect Venom on her.

Now that Mrs. Reed was dead, the real culprit was still at large, while she was left to be tormented by these two men.

If it went on like this, she wouldn’t even last a year before it was all over!

Raina bit her tongue hard, using the pain to maintain her clarity. She looked at Corvus Hades, her tone sinister: "Emperor Hades, how’s the tea from The Celestial Alliance?"

"Not bad," Corvus Hades replied leisurely, sipping his tea.

Raina nodded: "Then, Emperor Hades, take your time with the tea; there’s plenty."

Saying this, Raina stood up from her chair.

Corvus Hades looked up at Raina: "Where are you going?"

"Me?" Raina’s lips curled up slightly: "I’m tired and sleepy now, so I’m going to sleep with my man for a while."

With that, she reached out and held Elias Hawthorne’s large hand.

At that moment, an even sharper pain struck, and for a few seconds, Raina’s mind went blank.

Though her blood boiled from the burning flame, her hands were cold, and her fingertips spasmed involuntarily.

But even so, Raina did not let go, instead, she held Elias Hawthorne’s hand even tighter.

"Raina..." Elias Hawthorne called her name softly, his eyes full of concern.

Raina gave Elias a sidelong glance and said threateningly, "Do you dare let go and try?"

"Raina, don’t be willful."

Actually, Elias Hawthorne didn’t want to release her hand either.

But seeing Raina in such pain and agony, how could he ignore it just for himself?

"I am willful." Raina huffed yet still let go.

Elias Hawthorne felt an emptiness in his hand, and that momentary void made him miserable.

No, it was beyond miserable.

It felt as if his whole being had become hollow, and the heart in his chest had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Then, in the next second, Raina rushed towards him again.

Her slender arms wrapped around Elias Hawthorne’s neck tightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with fire as she gazed at him, slowly speaking: "I want to kiss you..."

As her words fell, she bent over towards him, and in the next moment, her lips pressed onto his thin ones.

When those familiar soft and fragrant lips met his, Elias Hawthorne’s expression finally changed.

His pitch-black icy eyes suddenly narrowed, and the hand at his side instinctively pulled Raina close.

Ever since he was hit with that Insect Venom, he had to be extremely careful touching Raina, let alone share a kiss like this.
