Chapter 527 You’re Not Worthy
Mr. Booth leered at Whitney from head to toe. Even though he had seen countless beauties before, this was his first time seeing a type like this. Ever since Whitney was young, her family was exceedingly well off. So, there was a slight hint of nobility on her.
“Come, little beauty, I’ll toast to you.” Mr. Booth raised the glass at her, and before Whitney could respond, he was already throwing his head back and downing the wine in one go.
Whitney had no choice but to grit her teeth and drink as well. The two women beside Mr. Booth also seemed to catch on, so they coaxed the two to keep drinking. Whitney hadn’t sat down for long, but there was already more than two bottles’ worth of wine in her stomach. Her gaze was bleary as she could only repeat her actions mechanically, lifting her head and drinking glass after glass.
At the side, Douglas remained silent all this while. Whitney had drunk quite a lot, and her gaze was beginning to waver. After concluding the business talks with Mr. Booth, Douglas stood up.
“That’s settled, then. It’s getting late, so I’ll be going back now.”
Mr. Booth had already set his sights on Whitney. After the successful discussion, he didn’t say anything else as he nodded.
“Sure. Have a safe trip, Mr. Lane. You two, see Mr. Lane out.”
The people in the room all walked out. The huge private room was soundproofed very well, and the booming music outside could only be heard faintly within. Hence, no one in the room would hear any form of sound. Douglas exited the club, feeling somehow irritated. He took out a cigarette and lit it, then began taking slow puffs.
His looks and aura were among the best, so as he stood at the club entrance, he instantly attracted a number of women who approached him.
“Hey, handsome, interested in a drink?” Douglas looked indifferently at the flirting woman in front of him, exuding a pressuring aura that warded strangers off.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
