Love Drug Novel

Chapter 61 A Battle of Scars Summer , we need to talk .

Summer looked at Peyton .

Her long hair was flowing behind her , and she walked up to Summer .

Summer hadnt intended to pay her any attention , but the kidnapping incident was still unresolved .

If Margaret wasnt behind it , then there was a high chance that Peyton had something to do with it .

Summer needed answers .

Who was the one who had set her up ? Alright .

Summer followed Peyton back to her hospital room .

It was the exclusive VIP suite on the top floor .

Rather than calling it a hospital room , the more precise description of it was a five star hotel suite .

Luxurious , spotless , and spacious .

It cost about a hundred thousand dollars to spend a night here .

From what Summer knew , Payton had been living here for over a year .

Money was never a problem for her .

After all , the Smith family was a prestigious family in Havenbrook , having built their fortune through branding and later expanding into the luxury retail industry .

Unlike the Stewart family , which owned a comprehensive chain of shopping malls .

But despite being born into such wealth , Peyton was anything but fortunate .

She was the illegitimate daughter of Bryson Smith , born by one of his mistresses Maisie .

Even worse was that Maisie was a lowly KTV hostess , a woman whose past was riddled with men whose names she probably could not even remember .

Years ago , when Maisie brought baby Peyton to confront Bryson , demanding recognition , it was nothing short of a farce .

A forced DNA test had proven that Peyton was indeed his daughter .

But even so , the Smith family would never accept Maisie .

Especially not when Bryson already had a legal wife .

For over twenty years , Peyton had been utterly despised by the Smith family .

Brysons wife , in particular , had never stopped trying to suppress her .

So , there was no doubt Trevor was the one paying for Peytons luxurious hospital stay .

It means , even when Trevor was with Summer , he had provided Peyton with the best medical team unconditionally .

Summer cast a casual glance around the room .

She had no intention of reminiscing with Peyton .

Without any pretense , she got straight to the point .

Were the kidnappers that day sent by you ? Peyton poured herself a cup of hot water ; the corner of her lips curved into a smirk , tinged with malicious glee .

With a probing tone , she asked , So … did they rape you ? Are you … tainted now , Summer ? The other day at the wedding , Peyton had clearly heard the desperate phone call for help from Summer , loud and clear .

Her instincts told her that the kidnapping was real .

After all , Summer had always been the one on the losing side throughout all the years their paths had crossed .

Deep down , Summer was just as proud .

Otherwise , how could Peyton have so effortlessly gotten Trevor away from her every single time ? On the day of the wedding , Peyton had played the game to perfection .

Retreating just to advance , saying exactly what she knew would shake Trevor .

So what if you were his girlfriend ? It was nothing more than a meaningless title .

If I were you , Id cut my losses and leave while I still had a shred of dignity .

Theres no point making a fool of yourself any longer .

If it had been just a while ago , Summer might have wavered at these words .

But now , there was no love left in her for Trevor .

And as for Peytons attempts to provoke her , they were nothing but laughable .

How had she ever let this womans petty words cut so deep , keeping her awake night after night ? Summers expression remained cold : I have no interest in wasting words with you .

Just tell me was it you ? Peyton let out a derisive snort .

If anyone in this world wants you gone , its me .

But do you really think Id be stupid enough to stir up trouble on my own wedding day ? Give you the perfect excuse to drag Trevor away ? But judging by how disturbed you are , I bet the kidnappers actually got to you , didnt they ? The very thought of Summer being raped seemed to ignite something in Peyton .

Her expression lit up with twisted delight .

Summer , youre completely ruined now .

No one will ever want you again .

Tell me , how did it feel ? How did it feel to be raped by a bunch of filthy criminals ? Oh , I feel just so sorry for you .

Summer stared at Peyton , watching her burst into maniacal laughter , studying every flicker of expression on her face .

That day had been Peytons long awaited wedding .

If she had truly wanted to destroy Summer , she could have chosen any day but that day .

Besides , Peyton had always loved playing the helpless victim in front of others .

But with Summer , there was no pretense .

Peytons hatred burned openly , and her hostility was razor sharp .

If she wanted to destroy Summer , she would not resort to deception .

Instead , she would do it outright with blade in hand .

Peyton had no reason to lie .

Summers gaze dropped to the cup of steaming water in Peytons grasp .

She instinctively took two steps back .

Her hand was already injured .

If that scalding water landed on her , she might as well be done for .

with Then , she smiled .

Peyton , dont celebrate too soon .

You love Trevor so much , yet he never broke up me for you .

That only proves that , in his heart , youre just as insignificant .

The words struck Peyton like a blade to the heart .

Yes , no matter how well Trevor had treated her over the years , he had never been willing to give her a title and acknowledge her .
