Chapter 310
Stanley’s appearance seemed to suggest that he was in control of everything, and he said with a smile, “All men like beautiful women, just as all cats are drawn to catnip. He acted like a prude when he was in front of us, but it took him just a bit of wine to loosen up and arrange to go to the hotel with the three girls. He even put his hand around Coco’s waist when he went out, hahaha!”
After Alrick heard that, he could not help but nod. “You’re right. A few hundred thousand isn’t a lot of money to him, and he still has plenty left over to enjoy his time with those girls at the hotel tonight. Haha, he’s not a man if he isn’t tempted by them!”
After Severin was helped out of the room, he stood up straight with a smile on his face.
“You…you’re not drunk?” Coco was taken aback, and she never thought that Severin had been pretending to be drunk.
“Hehe, did you think this little bit of wine is enough to get me drunk? Even if the three of you take turns to toast me, you’ll get drunk sooner than I will!” Severin chuckled, and then remarked, “Stanley didn’t hold back at all when he ordered, but then again, he’ll be the one who will foot the bill!”
Coco’s mouth twitched a few times, and she did not expect that Severin would be that smart. She thought to herself and then decided to tell Severin, “To be honest, Doctor Severin, he doesn’t just want to get back at you with spending your money. The truth is…he…he wants us to help him tarnish your name too.”
Severin frowned as soon as he heard that. “Is that so? That sounds interesting. How about you and I step out for a bit? It’s a little noisy here, and I’d prefer to talk outside.”
Coco nodded and followed Severin out of the bar.
When they were outside, Severin said, “So tell me, what is Stanley’s plan? You made the right choice by coming clean earlier because you stand to benefit a lot if you tell me. If you don’t, then you wouldn’t have been able to get anything in return!”
Coco could tell that Severin was a smart person after he pretended to be drunk, and she only told Severin all that because she wanted to benefit.
She smiled wryly. “Mister Stanley told the three of us to collude with him by getting you to spend a lot of money tonight, and once we get you drunk, we’ll bring you to the hotel and wait for you to pass out before taking pictures of us in compromising positions with you. He wants to threaten you with those photos the next day!”
“Threaten me? Well, that’s a cowardly move!” Severin could not help but smile disdainfully when he heard that. Had he been the playboy type of man who was captivated by every beautiful woman he saw, then he would have fallen squarely into the trap. Alas, it was Stanley’s bad fortune to have gone up against him!
“When tomorrow comes, he’ll demand one point two million from you, and he’ll show Diane those photos if you refuse! He’s confident that you would give him the money for her sake, because if you don’t, he’ll post those photos all over the internet!” Coco said truthfully. “He also promised to give us thirty thousand each!”
