Chapter 157 Caught Red-handed
But alas, no one could reject Edgar’s decision. A few minutes later, the five of them were seated in a private room.
In contrast to the last time, even Jonathan did not dare to spit nonsense anymore this time. After being beaten into a pulp last time, he did not even dare to cast a glance at Jean now.
There were several bottles of wine on the table, but none of their glasses were filled. Everyone sat cautiously at their seats as if they were attending a solemn meeting.
“Go ahead and move,” Edgar hostilely blurted while seizing Jean’s shoulder. The moment Jean moved, he exerted more force on her. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Jean winced in pain and squealed, “I want some liquor.”
“No way.” Edgar pushed a plate of fruits to Jean, giving her no chance to resist. “Women are only allowed to have fruits at a place like this.”
Jean gritted her teeth in hatred and retorted, “You must have always brought women here, hence you’re so familiar with the rules.”
Edgar’s face darkened even more.
“Shut up, or I’ll send you to the room just now and feed you alcohol in front of them.” Suddenly, Edgar drew close to Jean and hissed in a deep, magnetic voice.
Jean rolled her eyes at Edgar before taking an orange and started peeling it.Meanwhile, Brad tugged at Nathan and asked, “Hey Nathan, what’s going on here?”
“I have no idea.” Nathan shook his head with his eyes closed. He did not dare to make any comments recklessly at the cost of the business opportunities with Royden Group.
Brad smirked. “Don’t tell me the Royden family is going to have a new mistress.”
Truth was, Gigi had been bragging around about her relationship with Edgar. Besides, she was pregnant, so everyone thought she was Edgar’s legitimate partner.
But given the current situation, it didn’t seem like that was the case.
“Did you guys realize that there is a world of difference in how Edgar treats Jean compared to how he treats Gigi?”
“Yeah, man!”
Brad, Nathan, and Jonathan sat closer to each other as they secretly started discussing among themselves.
Suddenly, Edgar bawled with a cold look. “What the hell are you guys talking about?”
“I… I have some matters to attend to at home. I have to go back first.” Nathan invented an excuse and stood up to leave the room. However, the moment he took a step forward, he could sense Edgar’s menacing stare.
Frustrated, he turned around and scowled at Edgar. “You were having your own good time. Why do you have to drag the three of us here? How is it fair to us?”Brad and Jonathan nodded silently, expressing their agreement.
Leaning against the couch, Edgar curled his lips insouciantly. “You can invite your friends here.”
“What about her then…”
After all, some men valued privacy more than others when carousing in a club.
“Don’t worry about that. Miss Eyer is experienced and won’t mind being present. Am I right?” Saying that, Edgar slapped Jean’s shoulder heavily.
Jean flinched and spat through gritted teeth, “Yeah.”
Since Edgar approved, several gorgeous chicks came into the private room.
Each of them was talented and could hold their liquor. Most importantly, they were gentle and honey- tongued.
“Mr. Knox, you’re so handsome today.”
“Mr. White, it has been a while since you hit me up. Don’t you miss me?”
The scene was a typical depiction of voluptuous life. The barmaids gulped down glasses of liquor one after another. However, no one dared to flirt with Edgar due to his aloof look and the fact that Jean was sitting beside him.
On the other hand, Jean nibbled on the oranges non-stop until the orange skins were all around the floor. She even deliberately threw the skins near Edgar’s feet, hoping that he would slip and fall when he stood up later after getting drunk. She was thrilled at the thought of seeing Edgar injured.
Moments later, Edgar stood up and went to the washroom. When he came back, he sat on the other side of Jean as if he had read her mind.
Jean cursed in a low voice, but Edgar immediately pinched her ear and croaked, “I can hear you.”
“You have excellent hearing. What a pity you didn’t become a paparazzi, Mr. Royden.”
It was a boring night for Jean. It was only after Nathan and the others shifted to another place for a second round did Edgar lead Jean back to the car.
