When the woman heard that Selena was Ellen’s cousin, she apologized to her again. I’m truly sorry!”
Everyone in the bar had fallen silent because of the incident, and now they had learned that Selena
was Ellen’s cousin.
Even Ethan was surprised as he looked at Selena and asked, “Are you Ellen’s cousin?” Since her
identity had attracted the man, Selena pretended to be innocent and replied, “Yes, I am.”
Following that, she sat down beside Ethan and said to the bartender, “Give me a ss of cocktail,
please.”
The bartender immediately prepared a ss of cocktail for her. All the services on the ind were free,
so Selena seized the chance and ordered her favorite drink. After taking the ss, she turned to look at
Ethan. “You must be Jared’s friend.”
“Yes, I’m his best friend,’ Ethan replied. Selena was shocked deep within. As expected, the friend of an
outstanding man like Jared is also brilliant. She initially thought that she would never get to marry a
wealthy man like Ellen, but the man before her eyes was a chance to get the life she had always
wanted. At that moment, she was determined to win the man’s heart.
Pretending to feel troubled, she gulped down the cocktail and told the bartender to prepare another
ss for her. She soon chugged down. three sses of cocktails. Although she could drink more than
that, she pretended to be. drunk. The average woman would’ve been inebriated after drinking so many
sses of cocktails. All of a sudden, tears slid down her face.
Upon noticing that, Ethan asked caringly, “What happened, miss?” Selena pretended to be tough and
shook her head before smiling at Ethan with teary eyes. “I’m fine. See you.”
Then, she decided to leave. The moment she came down from the stool, she staggered and ced her
hands on the bar. She shook her head and said, “I guess I’m a little tipsy.” Then, she looked pleadingly
at Ethan. ‘Mister, would you mind sending me back to the vi? I can no longer walk.”
Ethan was about to go back as well. Since the woman was Ellen’s cousin, and he was Jared’s best
friend, it would be inappropriate if he refused to lend her a helping hand.
“Alright, I’ll send you home.” He didn’t turn her down. “Can you help support my weight?” Selena asked
in a small voice. As his towering figure leaned closer to Selena, Ethan held her shoulders and left the
ce with her.
The women around them were jealous and bitter. They could tell that Selena had yed a trick to get
the chance, but she was Ellen’s cousin, after all. It was only natural that she could get some special
treatment.
Since the vis were far away, cars were always at the ready to send the guests back. Both of them
entered the backseat. Selena felt her heart pounding in her chest. The faint smell of alcohol from the
man’s figure aroused her.
What excuse can I use to stay over in his vi? She was no longer an innocent young woman. All she
thought about was how to seduce the man. She certainly wouldn’t let the chance slip through her
fingers.
A momentter, she pretended to fall asleep and rested her head on the man’s shoulder. Ethan
stiffened in an instant. He turned to look at the woman and hoped that they would reach her vi
sooner so that he could go back to his own ce.
Before they reached the vi, Selena opened her eyes. Unwilling to go back, she said to the driver,
“Please stop here, mister” “We haven’t reached your vi yet,” reminded Ethan.

“No, I don’t want to go back. I’m in a terrible mood.”
“It’ste now, so you’d better go back to prevent any idents from happening.” Since Ethan was
Jared’s best friend, he wouldn’t let anything happen to Ellen’s rtives. He had to send her back no
matter what.
“Just let me be, mister. Why don’t you go back first?” Then, Selena obstinately left the car. When Ethan
got out of the vehicle, he saw Selena holding her arms and walking under themplights, looking frail.
Since they were about to reach the vi, he decided to walk with her.
