Chapter 232
“Oh, it looks like dirt,” Leslie said sarcastically.
Embarrassed, Millie immediately wiped her face. However, she forgot that she had a lot of makeup on and instantly smudged everything.
Everyone suppressed their laughter, and even Jackson frowned in disgust.
Millie bit her lip and stormed out.
“Ignore her. Let’s keep drinking,” Jackson said.
He then got up to fill others‘ glasses. As he walked over to Aurelia, the look in his eyes was extremely.
strange.
Aurelia stared at the glass in front of her and felt increasingly baffled.
Jackson acted like he cared for Millie, but he had ignored her at such a moment.
However, everyone was already raising their cups, so Aurelia could only play along.
Just as she was about to take a sip, Leslie snatched the cup from her and downed it in one gulp.
Displeased, Jackson said, “I poured that for Aurelia. Why are you drinking it?”
“She can’t drink,” Leslie said.
“You are so funny. We all know how good Aurelia is at drinking. Most men can’t even beat her,” Kimberly chimed in.
Instantly, the colleagues‘ family members started giving Aurelia pointed looks.
A virtuous woman would never drink with other men outside.
Kimberly thought Leslie would be upset, but he simply looked at her casually. “So?”
“What?” She was taken aback.
“Do you not drink?”
“I…”
“Are all your clients women?” Leslie questioned.
Kimberly was instantly rendered speechless.
Leslie continued to pour and drink tea, casually handing the bowl of noodles brought by the waiter to
Aurelia.
“Eat it while it’s hot.”
“Alright.”
Chapter 232
2/2
Aurelia gratefully accepted the noodles, realizing that she would not suffer as long as Leslie was around. If this were in the past, Seth would definitely have sided with others for the sake of his own pride.
Thinking about it, Aurelia couldn’t help but smile.
Her smile stung Kimberly. She gritted her teeth and turned her head to glance at Jackson.
The two of them tacitly stood up to propose toasts. After three rounds of drinks, several people at the table, including colleagues and their family members, were already lying down.
Aurelia heard a thud near her and turned her head.
She discovered that Leslie had also collapsed on the table. The drinks that Jackson had poured earlier were all consumed by Leslie, so he must be drunk.
She nudged Leslie. “Mr. Synder, are you okay?”
Leslie didn’t respond.
Across the table, Kimberly handed over a towel. “Go to the restroom and get some water to wipe his face.”
Aurelia noticed that others were also holding towels, so she didn’t think much about it.
She stood up and walked out of the private room and headed to the restroom.
After wetting the towel, she stepped out of the restroom and someone blocked her way.
It was Jackson.
Before Aurelia had the chance to raise any question, Jackson covered her mouth with the towel in his hand and led her into the adjacent private room.
Aurelia was thrown onto the ground by him and her entire body felt sore and stiff.
“What are you doing?” she exclaimed in a mix of fear and an attempt to remain calm.
Jackson sneered. “What am I doing? You disrespected me, so I can only make you obey.”
“You’re insane! The others are all here,” Aurelia warned.
“They’re either drunk or half–drunk. Who cares about you? Even your husband is drunk. Do you think he can help you?”
Jackson slowly squatted down with a malicious look.
Aurelia backed away step by step and was eventually forced into a corner.
“Aurelia, you’ve finally fallen into my hands!”
With that, Jackson pounced at Aurelia.
