Chapter 1037 "Let... letgo!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.
The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit.
"Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.

"Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him. "Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where's your fight?" Selena said sharply.
Jolie's blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support.
"Take me... to the hospital..." Jolie's breath was hot, and her body burned with fever.
"Damn it, you hit me? Do you even know who I am? Do you know my connections with the Cooper family?" The man, clutching his face, glared at Selena and started toward her, his anger boiling over.

"Do you know who she is?" he said coldly. "I'd love to hear what kind of connection you think you have with the Cooper family to act so boldly here." With that, Braden dragged the man toward the main hall, the man crying out in pain, now fully realizing he had messed with the wrong people. "I-I'm sorry! Letgo! I won't do it again!" Braden ignored his pleas and handed him off to the Cooper family's butler before turning and walking away without another word.
Selena didn't even have a chance to thank him before he disappeared. She sighed in mild exasperation, then looked down at Jolie, who was still slumped against her.
"Hey, you alright?" Selena asked, her voice sharp but her concern evident.
Jolie didn't respond, her body growing limp in Selena's arms.
"Such a hassle," Selena muttered under her breath, slipping Jolie's arm over her shoulder as she struggled to support her. With effort, she began guiding Jolie toward the exit.
en As Selena rounded the corner, she spotted Gavin not far ahead. She immediately called out, "Gavin!" Hearing his name, Gavin turned to look in her direction.
"Cquick!" Selena waved him over, her voice urgent.
Gavin noticed the person she was supporting and walked over, his brow furrowed. "What's going on?" "She's been drugged," Selena explained quickly. "Take her to one of the guest rooms. I'll find a doctor." Before he could protest, Selena practically shoved Jolie into his arms.

"She got into trouble at your house-you're responsible for hem responsible for now," Selena added before sprinting off to find Gernard.

"Hey, can you hear me?" His voice was firm, almost harsh, as he tried to get a response.
