Chapter 137

o cheer Eliza up, Belle took her out for drinks to relax.

lcohol wasn’t always the best choice for business, but outside of work, a little drink now and then could lighten the mood.

t had been a while since the two of them had a drink together, so Eliza decided to go along with Belle’s suggestion.

he bar Belle picked was a newly opened place called Fantasy.

he interior was trendy, perfect for young people to unwind after work.

s soon as they sat down, someone came over to start a conversation.

liza immediately declined.

er demeanor was cool and distant, and when she wasn’t smiling, it made her hard to approach.

ut, of course, she was beautiful, which meant that people still tried to strike up conversations with her.

elle joked, “See that? After leaving that bastard Calvin, there’s a whole forest of options out there for you. You don’t have to lock your heart away because of ne person who isn’t worth it.”

ne paused for a moment, then frowned, “Of course, you don’t need to pay attention to these people trying to hit on you. They’re all ugly. Even if you want to nd someone, find someone better looking than Calvin.”

fter saying this, she realized her analogy wasn’t exactly right.

onestly, it was hard to find someone more handsome than Calvin.

nd richer… that would be even harder.

‘orget it, let’s just drink.”

waiter brought over two cocktails and respectfully placed them in front of them. “These are from Mr. Wade. He wanted to treat you and your friend to some

‘inston cocktails.”

elle raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Wade? Who’s that?”

iza replied, “A business partner.”

uch generosity?” Belle picked up the cocktail and swirled it around. “This one’s worth about 80,000 yuan.”

iza ignored Belle’s teasing and asked the waiter, “Where is Mr. Wade?”

he waiter pointed in a direction.

iza glanced over and saw Baxter raising his glass.

ut of politeness, Eliza raised her glass in return.

elle didn’t miss this opportunity to gossip,

This guy looks pretty good. If he’s treating you to an 80,000 yuan cocktail, he must be rich. Not considering him?”

liza took a small sip from her glass, then replied indifferently, “He’s Calvin’s childhood friend.”

Damn it!” Belle immediately frowned in disgust.

he even thought the cocktail didn’t taste as good anymore.

But she couldn’t waste it–it was too expensive.

Belle noticed that the man called Mr. Wade kept glancing over in their direction.

Annoyed, she stood up and moved to block his view, then mouthed two words when he looked their way.

Asshole.”

Baxter froze for a moment, then chuckled softly.

lis friend was certainly full of personality.

ust then, Gideon called to ask why he hadn’t returned yet. Baxter replied, “I’m on my way.”

When Baxter returned to the private room, he heard his friends talking.

Gideon, my buddy said there are two goddesses in the outer hall. Should we go check them out?”

Normally, Gideon would have gone along to join in the fun.

lis group of friends was always quick to change partners, trading women as often as changing clothes.

ut today, he wasn’t in the mood, so he declined.

I’m not interested. My buddy said they’re the cold type, and everyone who tried to hit on them got rejected.”

I said I’m not in the mood.” Gideon was already getting impatient.

Alright then, I’ll go by myself.”

nce the friend left, the room became quiet.

ideon drank his wine in silence.

axter sat down and asked, “Where’s Calvin?”

He’ll be here soon.”

Did he come alone?”

Yeah, Medea is meeting friends.”

s soon as they finished speaking, Calvin arrived.

rue to form, he was alone,

azter asked if he wanted a drink or water.

alvin asked for water.

axter poured himself some whiskey, slowly swirling it in his glass, speaking casually, “I just ran into Eliza outside, she was with her friend. I treated them to

ocktail.”

ideon froze mid sip, suddenly recalling something, and asked Baxter, “Are those two goddesses‘ Eliza and her friend?”

Probably.”

Gideon went silent.

Calvin hadn’t said anything, but after drinking his glass of water, he stood up and walked outside to take a call.

Meanwhile, Belle went to the bathroom, but when she returned, her face was stormy.

“What’s wrong?” Eliza asked.

“I ran into that bastard Calvin.” Belle didn’t hide it from her.

Eliza smiled lightly and comforted her like it was no big deal, “So what if you ran into him? Don’t let irrelevant people ruin our good mood.”

‘I just can’t stand it.”

She would never forget the image of Eliza lying motionless on the hospital bed.

The doctor had said she not only lost the child, but had nearly lost her life as well.

All of this terrible experience was Calvin’s fault.

So why should Calvin be allowed to be happy?

How could he, after treating Eliza like that, shamelessly start over with his “first love“?

Why?

It’s all in the past,” Eliza’s voice was calm, as if it were as cold as water.

The past was the past.

hose four words sounded so simple.

even years. So long.

How many times did she have to be torn apart before she could let go of the past?

I’m not feeling well, I’m going to the bathroom again.” Belle set her glass down and walked off.

liza, concerned that she might have eaten something bad, messaged her to check on her.

But when the message was sent, it was as if it had vanished into the void.

liza became uneasy and stood up to look for Belle.

lefore she reached the bathroom, she heard a commotion coming from the private room area.

hen, Belle’s sharp voice echoed through the noise.

liza immediately realized what was happening and rushed to find Belle.

When she entered the room, she saw Calvin sitting in the booth, his refined face devoid of expression.

There was alcohol on his face, and the liquid was running down his sharp brow bones.

His head and chest were soaked.

Belle was holding an empty bottle.

From the looks of it, she had poured the entire bottle of alcohol over Calvin’s head.

Eliza couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Calvin, too, such a big bottle of alcohol, and he didn’t even try to avoid II?

“Sorry, my friend drank too much. I’ll take responsibility for this,” Eliza said, wanting to resolve the situation quickly.

No one here was easy to deal with, and if they wanted to make things difficult for Belle, she wouldn’t get off easy.

he didn’t want Belle to be caught up in this because of her.

elle immediately shielded her, “What are you apologizing for? He’s the one who owes the apology! He betrayed you! You gave up your chance to study abroad. vorked hard by his side to help him build his empire, and the moment he was successful, he kicked you to the curb! Then he went off with his ‘first love,” eaving you behind. Hasn’t he eaten his conscience?!”

Sorry, I forgot. People like him don’t even have a conscience!”

alvin took a tissue to wipe the alcohol off his face, his eyes turning cold.

his was the sign that he was about to get angry.

efore he could speak, Eliza stepped in front of Belle again, “I’ll pay for the clothes, too.”

alvin sneered. “Is that all? Do you really think I’m short on that kind of compensation?”

What do you want, then?”

alvin’s gaze shifted over her, landing on Belle’s face. His voice was as cold as ice, “Apologize, or prepare for a lawyer’s letter.”

elle became even angrier, looking like a small, furious lion, ready to tear a piece off Calvin.

Go ahead and sue. Who’s afraid of you? Heartless bastard! Eliza almost died because of you! Do you realize you owe her a life?”

alvin’s cold expression froze for a moment. “What do you mean by ‘a life“?”
