“Louise, do you think I’m hopeless? I’m the mother of a five-year-old. That doesn’t grant me the right to fall for a chairman. Also, he said that I’m his lover but in reality, it’s just a nicer way to refer to a plaything. I have no right to have feelings for him.”Louise looked at Monique’s reddened eyes. She had no idea that she was suffering so much inside and could not bear to voice out. She said, “F*ck lovers! The right to love? Go to hell! Let’s drink!”Louise wanted to pour Monique another glass but the bottle was empty. She said, “I’ll go get another bottle.”Louise staggered her way to the kitchen but she did not manage to find any wine. She returned and said, “There’s no more wine. What a letdown!”Monique curled her lips and downed the last glass.She felt weird to be so awake after drinking so much.Louise grinned widely and said to Monique, “You still want to drink, don’t you? It’ll be my treat today. Let’s go!”Perhaps Monique finally talked about the things that h
Louise was so furious that she walked to the front and kicked the car.“You wretched woman! What do you think you’re doing? I just recently bought this car. You won’t be able to afford it even if you sell your soul!” Logan bellowed.Louise continued to kick harder.Logan hurriedly got out of his car and yanked Louise away from his car. “I’m not the kind of guy who doesn’t hit women! I’ll punch you until your parents can’t recognize you no more!”Louise flew across the road as she lost her balance and landed in the drain—he was very strong. Logan curled his lips into an evil grin. “Oh! How pathetic! How are you going to go out and seduce men when your whole body is covered in mud?”Monique rushed toward Louise to help her up.Seduction again! What was wrong with these men?Why did others keep saying that they were out to seduce men? Monique’s expression darkened. She walked right up to the man and ordered, “Apologize now!”Logan scoffed, “Old hag, aren’t you guys dressed like
“You want me to apologize? In your dreams! Do you know who I am?” Logan Graham frowned and pointed at himself with his slender fingers.The Graham family was one of the four largest families in B City. They started in the film and television industry, then they branched out into real estate and earned a name for themselves.Other than being born into a rich family, Logan and Stella Graham were also celebrities. However, the way these two women looked at him was as if they did not recognize him.He was surprised to find people in B City who were unaware of who he was. He said in disbelief, “Are you guys living under a rock? Can’t you recognize me? I’m an award-winning actor!”Monique had no interest in the entertainment industry, so she had no clue who Logan was. Louise was also drunk and she could not see his face in the dark.Louise scoffed, “I don’t care who you are. So what if you’re an award-winning actor? You almost hit a person! You need to apologize!”Logan’s face was as d
Louise was speechless. This man was a piece of scum.Monique’s mind cleared up quite a bit after the commotion. She squatted down and picked up the cash scattered on the ground.“Let’s go back, Louise. Today is not a good day. I don’t want to go out and drink anymore.” There was a dull ache in her heart. She started feeling uneasy when she heard the pretty girl address Henry in such an endearing manner.Before this, she was already on the verge of breaking down. She was barely keeping herself together. After hearing that, she felt dejected and just wanted to go back to sleep.Louise glanced at Monique. “Why not? Can you really sleep if you head back? Rather than suffering from heartaches, we should drink to numb our senses.”Louise had just gone through a breakup. Whenever she thought of the amount of money spent on him, the frustration in her chest grew. She got even madder when that piece of scum hit them.Moreover, Monique would start shedding tears whenever Henry’s name was m
Henry drove right to Brewery Drop after he left Star River Residence.Even though he rarely visits the place, he would go with Logan once in a while. Logan was a frequent patron of Brewery Drop, but he went out of the country to shoot a television series.The music in the bar was deafening but Henry seemed to enjoy it. The booming music was able to resonate something in his empty, aching heart.The bar manager of Brewery Drop recognized Henry. When he saw Henry entering, he rushed over to escort Henry to their usual luxury room.“Find a place outside.” Henry raised his eyebrow. His voice was so deep and cold like a ghost. Although they were in such a noisy environment, his tone was so icy that it made others shiver in fear.The lines on his face were taut, and his chiseled features seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. His towering figure and deep, dark eyes like the night sky were so sharp and intimidating.He exuded the aura of a royal king.Henry came directly from Star R
Henry was drinking in silence.After a while, a woman in a revealing outfit approached him. She wore a bandeau and a mini skirt, exposing her sexy figure.She leaned against Henry as she sat down.Henry glanced at her and did not say a word. He continued to drink and placed the empty cup on the table.When he was about to refill his glass, the woman held his hand and said, “Mr. Moore, let me do it.”Her voice was sickly sweet and there was a hint of flirtation in her tone.In the past, he would have thrown women like her who actively approached him.However, this time, Henry just released his hand calmly and allowed her to pour the liquor into his glass. “Mr. Moore, is there anything that’s bothering you?” The woman poured herself a glass after filling Henry’s glass. Then, she clinked glasses with him and continued, “You can share your thoughts with me. I’m happy to serve you. Maybe we can go to the room and talk about life.”She was openly seducing him. Henry understood what
Logan and Stella Graham walked into Brewery Drop. Logan was wearing a casual men’s jacket and a pair of slim black pants that accentuated his slender figure.He looked very attractive with his prominent features, sharp eyes, and eyebrows.Nevertheless, he had a different appeal from Henry.His good looks were more on the feminine side, while Henry had a masculine appearance.Brewery Drop was opened as usual, deafening music and filled with beauties.However, something was not quite right.The atmosphere was a little weird, but it was too ambiguous to pinpoint.The bar manager walked over enthusiastically when he saw Mr. Graham—he was a regular there.“Where have you been, Mr. Graham? It’s been a while since I last saw you,” the bar manager asked smilingly.Logan curled his lips and asked, “Where’s Mr. Moore?”“Follow me please.” The bar manager led the way.Instead of bringing Logan to their usual luxurious room, he led him to a corner in the main hall.What shocked Logan e
The woman beside Henry poured him another glass of wine. He raised his glass and took a sip.There was a sly grin on Logan’s gorgeous face. “I heard that you hid a woman in your home. Is that true?”Henry’s face darkened and rolled his eyes. “Shut up and drink.”Logan obeyed, taking a glass and chugging.Looking at how Henry downed glass after glass, Stella’s heart ached and a frown formed on her pretty face.“Hen, don’t drink too much,” Stella said gently.Then, she placed some snacks onto Henry’s plate.However, Henry had no intentions of eating it.She then took some snacks and reached out to Henry’s mouth.Henry did not open his mouth and things got a little awkward for a moment. However, he thought that Stella would be a potential candidate as Angel’s stepmom if he needed one.She was kind and polite, and their family was also very close. She was also well-educated which would be beneficial for Angel’s education.Stella was rather persistent. “You don’t like this? I’ll
