Chapter 259
Emmanuel was driving an electric scooter, so there was no way he could
have caught up to Quintus‘ car.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Mackenzie and Quintus were already
seated at the table, loaded with alcohol. The alcohol they ordered was so
costly, with the most expensive glass priced at his entire year’s worth of
salary each.
As expected, Quintus was one of the ultra–rich.
“Haha, Emmanuel! Come, let me introduce you two. This is my idol and best
friend, Miss Mackenzie Quillen.” He then proudly bragged, “You’re lucky, brat.
Ms. Quillen is the goddess of nearly everyone in Yeringham. Most men can
only ever dream of meeting her.”
There was a conflicted twist in Emmanuel’s smile as he silently looked at
Mackenzie. She scoffed and turned away to avoid looking at him.
As Quintus did not know of their relationship, he tried to reassure Emmanuel
and said, “Don’t take it to heart. She’s just that cold. It’s not because she
dislikes you.”
That only intensified Emmanuel’s urge to laugh. After all, Mackenzie actually
disliked him.
However, he did not say a word about his relationship with her to Quintus,
mostly because their relationship was shaky.
Emmanuel chose to sit right across from Mackenzie, making it impossible for
her to avoid looking at him.
Claudette soon arrived. “I’m here!” she cried out as she entered.
“Ah, just in time!” Quintus said with a laugh.

”
He was so very happy to see her. Then, he promptly dragged her over to sit
down beside Emmanuel. “Since it’s just going to be the four of us tonight, and
we have equal numbers of men and women, why don’t we have a match to
see who was the best at holding their drink?”
He thought that once they were all drunk, he would stand a chance at
gaining a perfect accident with Mackenzie.
He also knew that Claudette liked Emmanuel. If those two got drunk as well,
she could seal the relationship with one night.
Claudette did mention that Emmanuel was taken, but that did not matter. He
would know just how amazing she was sooner or later. Then, he would dump
that girlfriend to get together with Claudette.
The other three individuals in the room blanched when they heard Quintus
wanted a drinking contest.
Emmanuel’s reaction was the worst. He would have no fear if he teamed up
with Mackenzie.
However, Quintus clearly intended for the men to go up against the women….
“Well? Objections? Anyone up for it?”
As the host of the evening, Quintus did his best to ensure a great start to the
night.
Emmanuel was about to object when he heard Mackenzie coldly bark out,
“I’m up for it.”

The fact that she was the first to go along with the suggestion was shocking,
but Emmanuel was not the most surprised person in the room; it was
Quintus.
Is something wrong?
Why did Mackenzie seem like a completely different person this evening?
Just what on earth is going on?
“Well… I’ll go along with it as well.” Claudette tentatively held her hand up to
show her agreement.
“Yes! We have the majority. The game is on!” Quintus hurriedly made the
announcement.
He had two goals for the evening.
One, he wanted to get together with Mackenzie.
Two, he wanted Claudette to get together with Emmanuel.
No matter which aims Quintus was after, Emmanuel had no leeway to say no
to the game.
“Very well. Let’s start.”

Emmanuel’s eyes shone with a sharp glint as he stared at Mackenzie.
He knew she was angry, but so was he.
They were not divorced yet, so how could she agree to drink alcohol with
another man? What if he hadn’t tagged along? What was she going to do
with Quintus?
That was why Emmanuel went along with it. “What punishment awaits the
loser?” he asked.
“Ah, good questions!” Quintus‘ glee intensified. “Of course, we won’t just be
competing about our ability to hold our drinks. We will also be guessing which
alcohol we are looking at. The losing team will have to play Truth or Dare, or
“Fine. I have no problem with that.”
Claudette was the one person who felt the most uneasy in the room since
As expected, the more one knew, the more there was to worry about.
“Good! Let’s start then.” Quintus was so very excited. He had not expected the
evening to go so smoothly. However, what happened next had the evening
In the first round, Emmanuel’s team lost.
“I’ll drink!” Emmanuel did not even think before downing an entire glass of

In the second round, Quintus‘ team lost.
Before Quintus could react, Mackenzie immediately grabbed a glass of liquor
and downed it in one go as well.

In the third round, Emmanuel’s team lost again.
