?Chapter 1294:


    Once they captured the photos for Niko, they would have leverage to threaten Catherine.


    Niko, though appearing satisfied, felt a sense of displeasure. He turned toward the woman lying next to him. But the second his gaze fell upon her face, his expression twisted into utter disbelief.


    He bolted upright. “What the hell? It’s you?”


    The woman beside him wasn’t Catherine. It was Gillian.


    Still groggy, Gillian stirred beneath the covers. Hershes fluttered as she tried to shake off the daze clouding her head.


    “Damn it!” Niko’s expression darkened even further. Without warning, he raised his hand and pped Gillian hard across the face.


    The loud crack echoed through the room.


    Gillian winced, joltedpletely awake by the pain.


    The sudden violence stunned the other men. They were about to ask Niko what was going on when Gillian let out a scream.


    “Ah! Why are you here? What happened between us?”


    As Gillian bolted upright, she caught a glimpse of her own body. She was naked!


    She frantically grabbed a nearby nket to cover herself, her breathing ragged with panic.


    Only then did the others see her face clearly and recognize her. Their expressions turned to shock, and they exchanged baffled nces.


    One of them asked, “Wait—why is it you? Where’s Catherine?”


    Tears welled in Gillian’s eyes as she stared at them in disbelief.


    “I don’t know,” she stammered. “I gave Catherine the drug, and I brought her into this very room. How…”


    One of the men scoffed. “Don’t tell me this was your n all along. Get close to Niko, pretend to help him, then trick him into sleeping with you. Do you want to cling to him using this?”

    Niko’s face clouded with rage. His cold gaze fell on Gillian like a dagger.


    Gillian, panicked and flustered, shook her head furiously.


    “No! It wasn’t like that!” she eximed, her voice cracking. “I swear, I never intended for this to happen. I drugged Catherine; I really did! I brought her here myself. And—”


    But before she could finish her desperate exnation, a chilling female voice echoed in the room.


    “What a delightful little show.”


    The moment that voice echoed through the room, Niko’s friends instinctively turned toward the doorway.


    They saw two women and a man entering the room—Catherine at the forefront, nked by Belinda and Johnson.


    The instant Gillian saw them, her face drained of all color. Panic flickered in her eyes as she stammered at Belinda, “Y-You… You’re not drunk?”


    Belinda responded with a cold smirk. “Of course not. I could down a whole bottle of top-shelf liquor and still walk in a straight line.”
