CHAPTER 789: CHAPTER 789: I WOULD FEEL DISGUSTED

After walking out, Tessa Thorne curiously asked, "Senior, who was that?"

Clara Thornton sneered, "Just a dog of a man, don’t worry about him, let’s go."

The tone suggested that there was something between the two of them.

Tessa curiously asked, "Senior, this makes people misunderstand. I’ve never seen you talk about a man like this."

Upon hearing this, Clara’s expression momentarily flashed a trace of disgust.

She despised arrogant men the most, which explained her lack of fondness for Thomas Quincy.

"No, no, don’t lump me with him, it makes me feel a bit nauseous."

The two of them walked into the ballroom together.

Clara was instantly surrounded; once again, her released potion had become the marvel of the Pharmacology Conference, earning her praise from everyone after such a long absence.

Tessa discreetly stepped aside, quietly picked up a glass of champagne, and went to the restroom.

In the restroom, Tessa hesitated, clutching the capsule in her hand, unsure whether to put it into the champagne.

Suddenly, a figure approached from behind, "Don’t want your big brother’s arm anymore?"

Tessa was startled, turning back to see who it was.

"Henry... Henry Foster." She glanced around nervously, "This is the women’s restroom, how did you get in here?"

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t dare, so I’m here to remind you. Don’t try any tricks. If you don’t do it, after the party, I’ll just chop off your brother’s arm."

"No! I’ll do it right away!"

Henry left satisfied after hearing her say this.

After he left, Tessa gritted her teeth, opened the capsule, and poured the medicine into the champagne.

She gently shook the champagne; the amber-colored champagne showed no sign of anything unusual.

Tessa left the restroom feeling at ease.

Around the corridor corner, Thomas Quincy had just left the party. He spotted Henry leaving the women’s restroom, immediately finding it a bit ironic.

Unexpectedly, Henry was so impatient, already starting his antics with women at the party, eagerly having his way in the restroom.

He waited a moment, curious to see who the woman with him was.

He was slightly surprised when he saw Tessa coming out; wasn’t this the woman who was just with Clara Thornton? Did Henry manage to get her?

Suddenly, Thomas didn’t feel like going to sleep.

He returned to the ballroom.

At this moment in the ballroom, there were even more people around Clara Thornton.

Tessa squeezed her way forward, offering the champagne in her hand, "Senior, for you."

Many people were talking to Clara; she took a few sips since her previous glass was empty. The champagne Tessa handed her came just in time.

Clara immediately raised it and drank a few sips amidst the chatter around her, without any suspicion.

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief as Clara drank it.

Not far off, Henry’s smile gradually deepened as he watched.

Everything was going smoothly. Soon, he would have this little beauty all to himself, and afterward, he planned to make Thomas come see.

He also wanted to record a video, letting Thomas see how his own woman begged for his affection.

If it went public, Thomas being wronged by him would make quite the spectacle; Henry’s expression gradually relaxed, an eerie smile on his face.
