“Alfred, w-why are you staring at me like that? What’s wrong with your eyes? Are they infected or something? They’re so red.”

Alfred stared at him for a long while before slowly speaking.

“So, even you think I’m really good to Zoey?”

“Of course. Alfred, the way you treat Zoey is obvious to everyone. Why? Did Zoey get mad at you?”

Jesse’s matter-of-fact reply left Alfred completely choked.

His jaw tightened, his lips pressed together, and he couldn’t say a word for a long moment.

“God knows who reported Zoey. When the cops took her away, someone even filmed it and posted it online.”

Jesse still hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Alfred and just kept talking.

Alfred couldn’t listen anymore and had no interest in understanding this idiotic logic. He lifted his foot and got into the car.

“Hey! Hey! Alfred, wait up. I’ll ride with you.”

Jesse hurriedly pulled open the Bentley’s passenger door and got in.

“Wait, isn’t Richie usually the one driving? Did he go on strike today? Why are you driving yourself?”

Seeing Alfred in a bad mood, Jesse tried to joke to lighten the atmosphere.

Alfred ignored him, eyes lowered, his brows filled with thick irritation.

Jesse thought Alfred was still worried about Zoey getting arrested and tried to comfort him.

“Man, you’re still worried about Zoey? It’s fine. Zoey didn’t commit any crime. She just posted that video and misunderstood Nella, right? Isn’t everything cleared up now?”/

Jesse kept talking, completely unaware that Alfred’s expression was getting uglier by the second.

“Isn’t Nella always easy to talk to? Just tell her, and she’ll listen,/She won’t hold it against Zoey.”

Jesse rambled on. “Worst case, you pull some strings and get Zoey out. With the Keywoods’ influence. getting Zoey out is easy. Even if Nella has an issue, she wouldn’t dare make a fuss with you-”

“Jesse,” Alfred suddenly cut him off.

Only then did Jesse notice Alfred’s dark, terrifying expression, and his nonstop chatter instantly died.

W-what’s going on?

I’m just trying to comfort him.

Chapter 203 Didn’t Say Anything Wrong

Why is he glaring at me?

I didn’t say anything wrong, did IP

“Can you shut your mouth?”

Alfred’s irritated voice carried barely restrained fury, startling Jesse badly.

Jesse didn’t understand how the always steady Alfred suddenly lost control of his emotions.

Looks like Zoey getting arrested really hit Alfred hard.

Jesse sighed inwardly.

“Alfred, how about we go check out Ryan’s new bar? If you don’t like my ideas, we can all think together. With everyone pitching in, we’ll figure something out.”

Alfred didn’t know if he even heard the second half of Jesse’s words, but after driving for a while, he agreed to the suggestion.

The bar’s name was easy to remember. It was called Last Call.

The slogan was goofy.

“Sleep is optional. Drinks aren’t. Too cute to close early.”

One look at the name and the slogan, and you could tell the owner loved attention.

At that moment, the attention-seeking owner was already waiting at the entrance. When he saw Alfred’s Bentley park, he immediately went up to greet them.

“Alfred, come on in. Come on in. We just got a new bartender today, and the drinks are insanely good.”
