Chapter 2703 Offering Herself
Amid his quandary, Jared suddenly caught sight of a fleeting shadow whisking past the window.
“Who's there?” Jared demanded, his brows knitting together in a frown as he cautiously narrowed his
eyes.
The door creaked open at that moment, and Viola slowly entered, carrying a porcelain vial.
“Jared, thank you for helping me out. These are some high-grade pills retrieved from Emerald Cauldron
Sect's inventory. They will aid your cultivation. Take it as a token of my heartfelt thanks,” she said in a
small voice, placing the porcelain vial on the table.
“Thank you, Ms. Warwick.” Without any pretense of modesty, Jared accepted the gift. The pills of
Emerald Cauldron Sect were indeed invaluable.
However, in accepting them, he came to a decision. He could not destroy the medicinal pool by

powers there.
After handing the pills to Jared, Viola did not leave. Instead, she took a seat across the table, her gaze
trained on him.
Under the lambent light, her figure, swathed in a crimson dress, was brought forth in an alluring play of
shadow and light. Even her undergarments were faintly visible.
“Ms. Warwick, if there's nothing else, I am going to take my rest,” Jared uttered with a note of dismissal,
especially when he noticed that Viola seemingly didn't intend to leave.
“Do you not feel anything for me, Jared? You may be surrounded by many women, but none can serve
you right now. I can. In fact, I can do anything you want. Just say the word. I am now the leader of
Emerald Cauldron Sect. Surely, my company wouldn't lower your status, would it?” Viola implored
boldly.
At Viola's blunt words, Jared hurriedly shook his head. “You mustn't harbor such thoughts. I've assisted
you, but I've also gained from Emerald Cauldron Sect. We're even. You need not feel indebted to me.
I'm really tired and have to rest now...”
Jared reiterated his dismissal. He wouldn't do anything to Viola. Despite her evident infatuation for him,
he was certain it was devoid of true love.
Viola was only offering herself to keep him by her side.
Such a calculated offer held no allure for Jared.
Seeing Jared's firm resolve, Viola bit her lip and stealthily withdrew the aphrodisiac given to her by
Ghaylen.
As she opened the bottle, a faint, fragrant aroma pervaded the room.
She carefully gauged Jared's reaction.
However, he remained still, betraying no change.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had sensed the aphrodisiac the moment Viola opened the bottle. His body, impervious to almost
anything, was unaffected by the menial drug.
Viola, however, flushed beet red under the aphrodisiac's influence. Her eyes were glazed with desire,
making her look even more seductive.
“Jared, I'm so hot... Please help me...”
Viola suddenly shed her dress, throwing herself onto Jared.
Jared caught her swiftly, preventing her from falling. His eyes met the porcelain smoothness of her bare
skin as she passionately ripped at his clothes.
“Hurry up... Jared... Please...”
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
Jared turned to the drugged Viola, and with a swift strike to her neck, rendered her unconscious.
He hastily clothed her before shifting so she lay sprawled on the table before answering the door.
“Sigurd? What brings you here at this late hour?” Jared asked, surprised to see him at his doorstep.
