Chapter 99: The Braze’n’Bold (2)
Like Catherine already knew he would doubt her intentions, she didn’t react and quietly kept the bottle on the table. She was very picky about the location where they’d meet since she wouldn’t want people from her class recognizing her in a place like this, and luckily enough she found one hidden enough to cover her perfect reputation.
The Braze’n’Bold
It took a few stalking and receiving information from the servants to know Jeremy was surprisingly lusting after Cassian’s wife. Jeremy always had a special taste for women in his class, so it was just surprising to find out that he had eyes for the invincible Baroness.
She took notice of how he ogled the woman during the celebration at their place, and she noticed the jealousy in his eyes when Cassian danced with Madeline in the ballroom, yet his feelings of obsession were slightly covered over the dislike he had for the woman. After gathering all this information, Catherine didn’t think anyone else would be more suitable to do the dirty work if not the young Lord Jeremy himself.
"Let’s be honest with ourselves, we both want something out of this" Catherine asserted in a sweet tone before recalling all the horrible things Cassian had said to her that night, and just thinking about it was making her blood boil over again. "You knew I was meant to be Cassian’s wife, he was meant to marry me, but that filthy little wretch snatched him from me."
Dismissing the hatred from her eyes, she looked at Jeremy with a more appealing expression. "You want her, don’t you?" A knowing smile crossed her lips when he didn’t give her a response. "You can have her all to yourself after you make her inhale this." She pushed the bottle closer to him.
"It is harmless and she won’t be hurt, its effect is to paralyze her for at least one hour or more, depending on how potent it is when she inhales it." She explained the use of the content in the bottle, and Jeremy’s cognitive stare lingered on her face.
"And what do you want me to do after?"
"You can have her all to yourself, do whatever it is you want with her, but in return you must make sure Cassian sees you both unclothed." Her deceptive tone surprised Jeremy, but listening to her interesting offers and condition, he had no problem with it.
