They started drinking and chatting happily. Very soon, one bottle of wine had finished. Daniel Brooke took out another bottle and poured the wine for both of them. They were drinking one after another glass. They finished two more bottles. They were a little tipsy by now.
Jasmine Brown's face was flushed. She felt slightly dizzy as well. Her vision was also blurry. But Daniel Brooke was not ready to stop drinking. He stood up to bring another bottle.
Jasmine Brown grabbed his wrist to stop him, "Wait. I can't drink more. You should also stop drinking now."
Frowning, Daniel Brooke looked down at her and said disdainfully, "I am not done yet."
She stood up from her chair and hugged him, "I want you to be awake for a while with
After dinner, Carl Black cast a meaningful glance at Mack Black. Mack Black slightly nodded in response. Lisa was about to take the dishes for washing, but Carl Black stopped her, "Don't worry about the dishes. Servants will do that. Go to the room. I will be back soon." Lisa nodded and went back to the bedroom. Once she went inside the room, both brothers went to the study room and locked the door from inside. Mack Black asked instantly, "Do you suspect anyone? I think recently you made some enemies. Do you remember the attack on you while jogging? Don't you feel odd? Don't you think that someone is targeting you and attacking you back to back?" "You are overthinking. I don't think there is a connection between these two att
Tring..... A loud noise of alarm disturbed Daniel Brooke’s sleep. He reached out to turn off the alarm. Then he lazily opened his eyes. He had a little headache. Rubbing his forehead with two fingers, he sat upon the bed. Then he remembered getting drunk with Jasmine Brown. After that, he couldn't remember anything. When he tried to recall it, he felt a throbbing pain in his head. He looked around to find her in the room but didn't see any trace of her. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. While taking shower, he recalled he was making out with Lisa. He frowned and froze for a moment. How could that be? He clearly remembered he called Jasmine Brown to celebrate together and got drunk. After that, he couldn’t remem
Anna Green was shocked. How could she forget that? No wonder, his only target was Lisa. To get Lisa he could do anything. She cast a deadly glare at Daniel Brooke and opened her mouth to curse him, but before she could say anything, he warned her, "Don't even think to say ‘no’. You can't bear the consequences. You know Neil is under my eyes. If you do anything stupid or if you don't obey me, your brother has to pay for it." He paused for a moment to take a good look at her. Her face was pale, and few droplets of sweat were visible on her forehead. A sly smile surfaced on his face to see fear in her eyes, "Today at 7 pm, at Hotel Hyatt. I will be waiting for Lisa at the hotel restaurant." He stood up and turned around to leave, but his steps halted when he heard Anna Green’s next words, "What if I don't agree with you?" He chuckle
Lisa smiled and said, "Yes, you are not late. I just reached here." "Why is your phone switched off?" Anna Green looked at her worriedly. "Huh?" Lisa had no idea that her phone turned off. She took out her phone from her purse and looked down at it. It was indeed switched off. Only then did she remember that she forgot to charge her phone. She sighed and shook her head, "I forgot to charge it." "Madam, you didn't pay the rent." A somewhat helpless male voice sounded from the back of them. They turned to look back, only to see a taxi driver staring timidly at them. Anna Green bit her tongue and apologized, "Sorry, I was in a hurry."
Lisa was looking at him with her mouth slightly open. Did he just ignore her? Just now she changed her mind and thought she would apologize to him, but looking at his attitude, she decided not to talk to him. She shrugged and looked away from him. Carl Black walked around and got into the car. Lisa was still standing beside the car, crossing her arms over her chest. He frowned and looked at her. He rolled down the window of the passenger seat and asked, "Are you going to come inside or not?" This tone... He was still talking to her arrogantly. Fine, fine. If he was arrogant, she was stubborn too. She lifted her chin high, opened the door, and sat down on the passenger seat. Carl Black watched the stubborn woman besid
Harry said, "Follow me." Neil Green followed Harry obediently and went to a room. There were two beds placed side by side. It seemed like it was already prepared for them. Harry laid on one bed, closing his eyes. Neil Green looked around the room in astonishment. He couldn't stop thinking about Andrew. He just snatched away the prey from the lion's mouth. Andrew was secretly fighting against both Michael Harrison and Daniel Brooke. How dangerous it was. Neil Green was bemused by Andrew. A small smile appeared on his face. After a long time, he felt safe under his protection. He wanted to know more about this man and also wanted to follow him like Harry. After freshening up, he laid on the other bed. .... On
Henry August dialed Daniel Brooke’s number. It was still early morning. Daniel Brooke was sleeping when his phone rang. He lazily grabbed his phone and looked at the screen. Seeing the caller ID, a small smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and couldn't help but praise Kyle Kings in his mind to work so fast. But he hid his contentment and answered coldly, "Hello." He heard Henry August's panic tone, "Boss, Neil is missing. I think our rival gang had found out about his location. What to do now?" Daniel Brooke was happy in his heart. He thought that this was the punishment he wanted to give Anna Green for not obeying him. She destroyed his plan ruthlessly then how could he let her go so easily. The corner of his lips curled up mockingly. But he answered coldly without any trace of happiness, "You all are useless people. Can't
Frowning deeply, Henry August looked down at the dark screen in shock. What did just his Boss say? If it was not done by them, who helped Neil Green? Puzzled, he pulled out his eyes from the phone and looked ahead, scratching his head. Could it be that Neil Green managed to escape on his own? No, without the help of someone else, he couldn't escape. Suddenly a name popped up in his mind. 'Detective Andrew.' He held his head with two hands and cursed, "Oh shit." He never tried to find out the details about Andrew and never asked Anna Green about him. Thinking that Andrew might be a small detective hired by her, he never considered him as a threat. But now, he was forced to think that Andrew was the one who helped Neil Green to escape from the safehouse. After realizing this, he decided to tell his Boss.
