Chapter 1055 Schemes And Counter Schemes

Guzzling straight from the bottle, both of them were drinking fiercely. The ground was littered with bottles in every direction.

“I used to think Micah was such a fool, torturing himself into a complete idiot over a woman. Looking back now, I realize I was the fool; I've been guarding something in my arms for so many years without touching it. In the end, I've only made life easier for a dog and ended up with a whole lot of trouble. Women! They're all the same.”

Sylvester was a bit of a wild one. He would turn the whole private room into a mess when he got drunk, filling it with smashed glass bottles.

Justin was more composed and reserved. Perhaps because he knew he had a future with Veronique, he did not lose control like Sylvester did.

Instead, he sat quietly on the couch, continuously drinking.

“Keep going. Come on, drink, drink, drink.”

Clutching a bottle of liquor, Sylvester clashed it fiercely against Justin's before tilting his head back and emptying half the bottle in one go.

“Comfortable—this is how life should be. Women, wives, to hell with them all. Come on, bring the wine.”

Upon hearing this, the waiter outside immediately dashed toward the cellar.

These two gentlemen inside are the owners of the nightclub. I'd better pick up the pace!

A slender figure emerged from the shadows around the bend, coolly watching the retreating back of the hurriedly departing waiter.

“Is everything in place?”

The bodyguard behind her nodded. “Rest assured, Ms. Smith. Everything is in place. To avoid Mr. Hollett's detection, the drug I administered was very discreet. No trace would be left in twelve hours. During this time, those who were drugged would find it hard to control themselves and act purely on instinct. I've checked. Every time Mr. Hollett gets drunk, the nightclub manager always escorts him to his exclusive room upstairs. I don't think anybody will stop you when you show up. Once you bring Mr. Hollett to the room, success is assured.”

Karina's lips curled into a smile. “Excellent. I hear that several companies under Mason's management ran into some problems, forcing him to remain in Hallsbay. At this critical moment, he will undoubtedly find a way to meet Sylvester. You mentioned he will bring Rainie to the night show tomorrow to see Sylvester. So what if Rainie sees me with Sylvester? Knowing how stubborn she was, do you think there's still anything between them?”

“Their relationship seems to be on the verge of collapse,” the bodyguard said cautiously. “I'll make the arrangements right away. Tomorrow, Mason will bring Rainie to the nightclub on time.”

“All right. Go ahead.”

Ten minutes later, the two men had almost finished the wine brought by the waiter.

Staggering to his feet, Justin said in a low, hoarse voice, “I'm going to the restroom. If you can't take it, have someone take you to your private room.”

Sylvesters waved his hand nonchalantly. “I'm not done drinking yet. Let's keep going.”

Then, he tilted his head back and started chugging again.

Justin could not be bothered with him. He stumbled outside.

Almost at the instant that Justin left, Sylvesters's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the couch.

“D*mn you, Rainie!” he spat venomously as he swung his fists.

D*mn that woman! I am the dignified heir of the Hollett family, the future head of the household. Isn't that enough for her? Yet she degrades herself to seduce my best friend. Despicable!

His vision swam, and he faintly saw a slender figure, whose face haunted his dreams.

“Don't go, Rainie. Please don't go.”

Karina walked over. She was delighted to see Sylvester waving at her.

Hearing his constant murmuring of her name, her heart instantly felt as if it had plunged into a freezer.

That woman again.

Even when he was clearly drunk and completely out of it, the one he kept obsessing over remained that despicable woman.

Initially hesitant, Karina felt her heart gradually hardening.
