Charlie Hogg opened a bottle of XO with the point of the knife.
Wendy Lim stared at the knife, "The knife..."
Charlie Hogg was swinging the knife skillfully with his fingers, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "This knife is really good. It was made in Switzerland. Great handle and very sharp blade."
"It's mine!" Wendy Lim was pretty sure.
She couldn't find it anywhere. It turned out that he took it!
Charlie Hogg withdrew his wrist, showing no intention of giving the knife back to her.
Their talk had already caught people’s attentions in the room. At this time, a slightly drunk man grinned and said, "That's easy. Take off your clothes if you want the knife!"
Wendy Lim froze.
The crowd burst into laughter. It was a game for the rich.
"We can help you to undress and throw you onto the street!"
Wendy Lim clenched her hands tightly until her joints turned to white. She looked at Charlie Hogg whose face was still indifferent and cold.
Charlie Hogg was staring at her at the same time. Colorful lights was shining in the room. Her expression was the same as when he met her for the first time in the Lim family. She looked like a lonely girl standing on a cliff, but her eyes were full of stubbornness.
Charlie Hogg was distracted for a moment.
Looking at Wendy Lim put her fingers on her button, he interrupted and said coldly, "Is it really that important? A broken knife?"
It was not a broken knife!
Wendy Lim retorted in her mind.
But how could a man like Charlie Hogg understand? She clenched her teeth. The jeering stares from people around her made her more awkward.
Simon Chin knew what Charlie Hogg thought. He gave a stern look to the slightly drunk man, stepped forward and said, "How about singing a song to liven us up?"
Wendy Lim felt ashamed because they took her as a plaything for joy. However, it was better to sing than to take off clothes!
Wendy Lim was not a non-drinker, but she was a cheap drunk. It was the first time for her to drink such a strong wine.
The spicy feeling was spreading from her throat to her stomach. She could not drink any more after a few mouthfuls, but she did not put down the bottle. Instead, she gritted her teeth and continued to drink the rest of the wine. Her only thought was to get her knife back.
Simon Chin was a little shocked. "Charlie, this girl looks dull but really has guts!"
The wine was so strong that half a bottle was too much for a man, not mention a girl like Wendy Lim. Charlie Hogg’s eyes looked calm, but some lights accumulated in the deep.
It was not a big deal. He had seen more excessive behavior that she had done.
"I’m done!"
Wendy Lim put the bottle upside down, only few drops dropping down.
She wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked at Charlie Hogg, "Can you return it to me now?"
Then her legs gave out and collapsed forward.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
