Chapter 131 Vermouth bullies Eri Kisaki

A sudden sense of curiosity arose in Vermouth's heart.

She stood up, walked to the bedside, and looked down at Eri:

"To this day, I still don't know where I slipped up and how you managed to spot me as an imposter?"

The witch's tone carried a hint of inquiry.

That disguise, that bouquet of flowers, those imitations of Lin Xiuyi's mannerisms and gestures...

She thought she had done her best, but this woman still saw through her immediately.

Eri Kisaki snorted coldly and turned her head away, presenting the back of her head to Vermouth.

She expressed her resistance through silence; she didn't want to answer, she was unwilling to answer, and she couldn't answer.

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Vermouth looked at the stubborn back of that head, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"You don't want to talk about it?"

Her voice softened, carrying a strange tenderness.

But hidden within that gentleness was something that sent chills down one's spine.

The witch suddenly bent down and sat down next to Eri Kisaki.

The mattress sank slightly, and Eri Kisaki's body swayed gently in response.

Before she could react, Vermouth's hand had already reached out and touched her body.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" Eri Kisaki was startled.

She struggled to move to the other side of the bed, but her body, bound by ropes, was unable to move and she only managed to move a little distance.

The lawyer's eyes finally showed genuine panic.

"What are you doing? Heh..."

Vermouth chuckled and reached out to pinch Eri Kisaki's chin.

The force was neither too light nor too heavy, but it held her face in place perfectly, leaving her nowhere to escape.

The witch moved closer, her beautiful face magnified before Eri's eyes, a dangerous glint in her emerald eyes.

"The woman who could make that bastard travel all that way back to Japan," Vermouth said, emphasizing each word, "I'd like to know what she tastes like too."

Eri's pupils suddenly contracted: "You...you're a same sex..."

Before she could finish speaking, Vermouth cut her off.

A little over a minute later, Vermouth finally released the female lawyer.

Eri Kisaki was completely stunned.

She lay there, her eyes wide open, her lips slightly parted, her mind blank.

Over the years, Lin Xiuyi was the only person she had ever had such a close relationship with.

She had never been bullied like this by anyone else, especially now that the one bullying her was a woman.

Vermouth, slightly out of breath, looked down at the completely stunned woman beneath her, a satisfied smile playing on her lips, and sighed softly.

"No wonder that guy still thinks about you after all these years."

Eri's face flushed instantly. It wasn't shyness, but rather shame and indignation.

She wanted to curse and struggle, but her body felt drained of strength and she couldn't move at all.

She watched as Vermouth moved even closer to her, this time reaching out to touch her chest.

Eri Kisaki's body tensed up abruptly.

She instinctively shrank back, but there was nowhere left to retreat.

Those emerald eyes were inches away, filled with a playful and teasing gaze, like a cat looking at a mouse under its paws.

"Don't come any closer!" the female lawyer finally shouted, her voice filled with obvious panic. "I'll answer any questions you have!"

Vermouth's hand froze in mid-air.

She looked at Eri's panicked face, at the fear that had finally crumbled in her eyes, and suddenly smiled.

That smile was alluring and captivating, yet it sent a chill down Eri's spine.

"If only you had been this good earlier!"

Vermouth laughed as she reached out and stroked Eri Kisaki's cheek.

The movement was as gentle as a lover's caress, yet it sent a chill down Eri's spine, and she felt countless goosebumps rise all over her body.

……

A little over an hour ago, Vermouth, disguised as Hayashi Hideichi, tricked Eri Kisaki out of the law firm and intended to take her directly to the Beika Hotel.

The two walked side by side down the street as dusk fell. Vermouth, playing the role of Hayashi Shuichi, was elegant and charming, holding the bouquet of roses in her hand, and occasionally turning her head to give Eri Kisaki a gentle smile.

She believed her performance was flawless; her demeanor, mannerisms, and tone of voice were exactly the same as the man she remembered.

Unexpectedly, halfway through their journey, Eri Kisaki suddenly launched an attack.

Just as they were passing a relatively quiet alleyway, Eri Kisaki suddenly reached out and grabbed Vermouth's shoulder without warning, twisting her body violently and using the momentum to swing her up.

A smooth over-the-shoulder throw!

Vermouth was thrown around and landed hard on her back on the concrete floor.

A sharp pain shot through my shoulder and back, and my vision blurred.

She lay there, unable to move for a moment, only able to vaguely see Eri's shoes swaying at the edge of her vision.

However, Eri Kisaki ultimately lacked experience in fighting enemies.

Seeing Vermouth fall to the ground motionless, she assumed that the "imposter" had been knocked unconscious by her.

After letting out a sigh of relief, the female lawyer immediately took out her phone, turned her back to Vermouth, and tried to call the police.

Just then, a slight noise came from behind.

Before Eri could turn around, a pungent smell hit her face.

The high concentration of ether rushed into her nasal cavity, causing her body to go limp, her phone slipped from her hand, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Vermouth got up from the ground, rubbing her still aching shoulder, and looked at the unconscious Eri Kisaki on the ground with a cold smile.

……

However, although she successfully brought the person back, Vermouth was still somewhat bothered by how Eri had discovered that she was an imposter.

She believed that her disguise skills had reached their peak, and that she could imitate Lin Xiuyi perfectly. Whether it was the face, the figure, the tone of voice, or the subtle movements, she had done it to the extreme.

But this woman still saw through him at a glance.

That's why she's resorting to such unscrupulous means to coerce Eri Kisaki into revealing the problem.

"Pervert! Stay away from me!"

Eri's voice broke the silence in the room.

She had recovered from her earlier panic; after all, she was a woman who could be called the "Queen of the Legal World."

Although he was caught off guard by the witch Vermouth, he has calmed down a bit and regained his usual composure.

A faint blush remained on her cheeks, and her breathing was still somewhat rapid, proving that the shock from earlier had not completely subsided.

"Pervert?" Vermouth chuckled, sitting at her dressing table and looking at Eri on the bed in the mirror. "Why do you say that?"

"How can a woman be with another woman..." Eri Kisaki said angrily through gritted teeth, her face flushed, but she couldn't finish her sentence.
