Laura's smile was charming and her beautiful eyes were pulling Benjamin in. "Do you want me to express it through actions?"Benjamin's smile deepened. "Sure."Excitement flashed in Laura's eyes. She immediately grabbed his collar and leaned toward him.The feminine fragrance washed over Benjamin. He should be welcoming the interaction. Yet for some reason, he felt a sense of annoyance as the woman leaned closer.It felt dull.Just as the red lips were about to meet his, Benjamin stepped back. "Are you this bold with everyone you come across?"His words were like a slap to Laura!Embarrassment appeared on Laura's face. "Mr. Inkling, you ..."Benjamin took a drag on his cigarette and shifted his gaze away from her.Laura felt humiliated and she turned to leave.This man was despicable!The night breeze blew away the annoyance he was feeling. Benjamin took another drag on his cigarette before he snuffed it out.He turned around and his gaze unconsciously landed on the fragile

"Sure." Margot's eyes sparkled with excitement.Since no one had any objections, the group gathered around the table.The pencil was placed in the center, and Natasha, who had suggested the game, took the initiative to spin the pencil and ask the first question.On the side, Solomon took out bottles of alcohol and poured a few glasses. He smiled."For those who refuse to tell the truth, take a drink. And for those who refuse to play a dare, take two drinks. How does that sound?""Sounds good!""So exciting!""The stakes are high."They immediately joked.Solomon took a seat, and Natasha looked around. "Let's get started then."Everyone listened to her instructions. Natasha smiled and twirled the pencil, and it swiftly spun.Before long, the pencil stopped in front of a man.The man hesitated. "I choose dare!"Natasha immediately opened the notebook and her eyes lit up. "Go wait at the door. You have to get the number of the first person who walks by!"The man laughed. "Th

Solomon commented from the side, "Mr. Inkling is in luck. Laura has never been this bold."Laura glared at Solomon in annoyance before turning her expectant gaze toward Benjamin.It was just a game. They had to abide by the rules.All eyes were on Benjamin and Laura. Some of them were staring at the interaction with amusement, while Tamara and Sebastian remained calm as if they could anticipate the outcome.Benjamin smirked. "Do you want my luck instead?"This remark was directed at Solomon, but it also made it clear that he was rejecting Laura.Laura's expression immediately turned unpleasant. She bit her lip and her eyes watered.Solomon felt awkward and rubbed his nose. "Let's follow the rules of the game."Benjamin picked up a wine glass and threw it back. After finishing the glass, he immediately picked up another. "It's my fault, so let me take the punishment."Although he drank for Laura, her expression remained grim. Janice gave her a look of concern.Laura suddenly s

Just then, Benjamin also stood up. "I'm leaving, too."Solomon stood up as well. "It's getting late. We should all go home and rest."Seeing this, the others felt there was no need to stay any longer. They could continue playing, but there was no need to linger here.People began to leave, and the private room quickly quieted down. Laura and Janice were the last to leave.Laura's expression turned unpleasant. "Fuck! What's wrong with these people? Why are they all following that sick woman?"Janice frowned. "I don't know. Is it because she's the boss of 1999?""Haha!" Laura sneered. "If we're talking about status, she is the least qualified among us."That was right. The people attending today were all rich kids. Although there were differences among elite families, even the poorest of them were still miles richer than Margot.Margot was an orphan. Even if she owned a popular club, it wasn't enough to hold a candle to them.Janice sighed. "Margot doesn't deserve to stand shoul

Margot felt angry.She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. "Grandpa Shane, nothing is guaranteed. Are you so certain that he won't remember me?"Shane huffed. "You're right. Nothing IS guaranteed. So how can you guarantee that he will remember you?"Margot gritted her teeth. She was furious! Blood rushed to her head and she started coughing violently.Shane sounded surprised. "How sick are you? Then, you're even more unsuited to be with him. We must ensure the Inkling offspring have great genes."Margot felt speechless.She coughed intensely as tears streamed down her face. She clutched her chest, wanting to stop him from continuing. But she didn't even have the strength to speak.Listening to her severe coughs, Shane sighed. "I won't interfere with your affairs if you agree to my conditions. Otherwise, based on how sick you are, I doubt you can be an issue to me."The nanny quickly came over to help her. "Have some water, Ms. Zimmerman."Margot took a sip of water a
