Chapter 81
Isabella guessed that Seth wouldn’t easily agree to her request, but at this
point, even if he asked her for a star in the sky, she would have to
immediately get a ladder.

The man sat next to her, a hint of malicious intent flashing in his eyes. “Do you
know who caused me to get drenched in cold water last night?”
His tone sounded casual, nothing like an accusation, but that still sent chills
down Isabella’s spine. Don’t tell me he wants me to take a cold shower.
She clenched her skirt, forcing a stiff smile. “I don’t know.”
“A woman who doesn’t know better.” The man suddenly turned serious and
emphasized each word, “If I catch her, I’ll make her regret her actions.”
Isabella remained silent.
“Do you agree?” Seth asked.
Isabella awkwardly chuckled. “You’re right. Serves her right.”
“But before I was drenched, I had to drink three glasses of strong liquor
because of her.” Seth snorted and asked, “How do you suppose I get even
with her?”
Isabella felt a shiver run down her spine as she closed her eyes, boldly
suggesting, “Make her drink the same amount of drinks!”
Seth clapped. “Good idea.”
In the meantime, Isabella was bleeding inside. Staring at the man’s neck, she
felt an urge to bite him, splattering his blood everywhere.
“Do you need some liquor?” Dariel, who had been watching the scene, came
forward with glistening eyes. “I have plenty here. You can drink whatever you
want.”
Getting up, Seth strode toward the bar. “How about I personally make you a
cocktail?”
Those words were obviously directed at Isabella.
Isabella got up and approached him, feeling nervous. “It would be my honor
to drink a cocktail you made.”
While she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the various liquor bottles beside
Seth’s hand. They were all strong liquors, including vodka and brandy.
Seth went behind the bar and randomly took out three glasses. Then, he said
to Isabella while looking at her, “You shouldn’t drink too much. Three glasses is
enough.”
The glasses weren’t large, making Isabella think Seth was going easy on her,
but just as she felt relieved, Seth opened the vodka bottle and filled all three
glasses to the brim without hesitation.
While Isabella looked at the three glasses, a train of curses popped into her
head. “Is this the cocktail you made?”
Seth leaned against the bar, remarking, “It’s called minimalism.”
Bullsh*t! Isabella released a breath. “Very sophisticated.”
“It’s good that you understand.” Seth didn’t seem the slightest bit
embarrassed.
Their banter continued as they continued to play dumb. In the meantime,
Simon and Dariel enjoyed watching them and would intervene occasionally.
“Drinking three glasses of that might harm a woman’s health.” Simon
somewhat disagreed with this and looked toward Seth. “It would be better to
mix some fruit juice into it.”
