Michael stared at the incense burner, his brows knitted tightly.
The scent from the censer was distinctly off. Unlike the usual light fragrance, it smelled heavy and overpowering
All incense in the shore family was uniformly procured, with meticulous records maintained for every wing and courtyard
If the incense had been changed, he would certainly have known
Realizing the cause of his erratic state. Michael abruptly turned to Willow, his wore heavy with fury as he demanded, “What did you put in this canser p>
Willow’s heart hammered in her chest, her face turning deathly pale.
Michael’s piercing gaze sent chills down Willow’s spine. The Osborne family was no ordinary family. Thair power and influence were formidable
The Osborne family utterly abhored women resorting to such underhanded schemes.
But she was left with no choice, desperation drove her to play this dangerous game.
Willow thought bitterly. “Michael only has eyes for Athena. If I don’t resort to this, when will I ever conceive his heir p>
Willow’s eyes were brimming with tears as she gazed at Michael with feigned vulnerability. She stubbornly refused to admit anything. “My lord i don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Are you truly ignorant, or just pretending to be?” Michael demanded, seeing right through her act
A suffocating feeling swelled in Michael’s chest. He had trusted Willow so deeply and had always protected her since they were children.
Michael thought, “What has she done?
She actually laced the room with aphrodisiac incense.
Only prostitutes would stoop to such vile tricks. For a woman of her noble birth to resort to this kind of depravity is utterly beneath contempt.
‘What difference is there between her and those prostitutes p>
“Speak!” Michael thundered, his fury escalating at her continued denial.
He couldn’t help but tighten his grip around Willow’s wrist.
Willow cried out from the pain, tears streaming down her face.“Honey, I truly don’t know. Please, believe me.
Michael was already on the verge of collapse, and now, completely at the mercy of the aphrodisiac incense, his body no longer obeyed his will
With a violent shove, Michael sent Willow flying. She crashed heavily into the corner of the table before curling into a fetal position in

“Get away. Just get away. Michael rasped, his voice hoarse with strain as he showed Willow aside once more.
With one powerful kick, he sent the door flying open and stormed out.
Behind him, Willow’s desperate cries rang out. “Michael, please come back. Come back p>
The night was pitch black, and Michael was nowhere to be seen.
Willow knew Michael was in a dangerous, drugged state. If he ran into another woman now, she felt that her scheming would just end up benefiting
them.
Ignoring the pain, Willow scrambled to her feet and rushed outside. “Nona!” she called desperately.
Willow called out several times, but there was no sign of Nona outside the chamber door. Only then did she remember that she had strictly ordered Nona to stay away from the door.
Painfully hobbling out, Willow turned to the attendants in the courtyard and snapped, “Go find Lord Osborne and bring him back now p>
The attendants scattered, fanning out to search for Michael
Willow was frantic with worry whaile praying desperately, ‘Please, don’t let Michael run into another woman p>
She was sure Michael wouldn’t go far. It was impossible for him to leave the Osborne family in that state.
Knowing how scandalous this was, Willow dared not alert anyone else. She could only search for Michael quietly within the estate.
Not long after Willow left, Nona came over from the kitchen.
Just as Nona rounded the corner of the corridor, she caught rustling sounds coming from the rockery.
