Jackson was the first to react.
Almost without hesitation, Jackson immediately turned around and went downstairs.
Gilda was sitting in front of the booth, resting and seeing her phone. Just then, the waiter came over with a
tray.
“Miss, this is a complimentary drink from our bar tonight. Would you like to try it?”
He put the drink directly in front of Gilda before Gilda refused.
Gilda took the glass, and before she could drink it, she was interrupted by Jackson’s sudden voice. “Gilly!”
Jackson was obviously a little anxious.
He walked to Gilda and grabbed the glass from her hand.
Gilda glanced at him suspiciously.

Jackson stretched out his hand and put it around her shoulder. In the eyes of outsiders, they were very intimate.
Jackson whispered, There’s something in the cup.”

“How dare you! Do you know the consequences of what you did today?”
“Mr. Buckley, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please forgive me. I was just obsessed with money. I swear that I will never do it again…”
No matter how the waiter begged for mercy, Luke was not moved at all.
Then he asked the people to send the surveillance camera. “Tell me, who is that person?”
The waiter didn’t hesitate.
He took the surveillance video of the bar and pointed at Ann’s face.
“Yes, it’s her! It’s her!”
Gilda happened to see this scene.
She had heard it clearly at the door just now.
