Chapter 622
In the blink of an eye, Matthias and Heather had finished three bottles of alcohol, each of which had an
alcohol content of no less than 40 percent. At the sight of this, Evan was truly stunned and speechless.
He feared that they would spend the entire night drinking as the alcohol went to their heads.
He was secretly worried about the two of them, for he feared that they would suffer from alcohol
poisoning. The three bottles of liquor were of different types, and he didn’t know if any chemical
reaction would ur when these liquors were mixed in their stomachs.
“Get us another bottle, Evan,” Matthias called Evan again. He was drinking recklessly.
“Sir, your health—” Evan said, but Matthias interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
“Get us another bottle.” Matthias shot Evan an icy look. He didn’t want Heather to know about his
chronic illness, yet Evan brought this up.
Luckily, Heather was mellow with drinks, so she didn’t pay any attention to their conversation. Right
now, she was starting to feel dizzy since it was easier to get drunk by drinking different types of liquor
at once.
Heather liked the feeling of stepping on air. She shook her head, trying to sober herself up a little. The
good liquor stored in the cer of Matthias’ home was indeed strong.
Evan reluctantly took out a bottle of vodka, which was probably the bottle of liquor they drank with the
lowest alcohol content. As he snatched the bottle of vodka from Evan right away, Matthias ordered him,
“Bring us all the spirits in the wine cer.”
Instead of stopping Matthias from fooling around like this, she looked at Evan with great interest; it
seemed like she was urging him even more.
Evan looked at the two of them in vexation. “You two must stop drinking,” he protested vehemently. Are
they nning to drink themselves to death tonight?
“Why can’t we keep on drinking when our appetites have just been stimted?” As she rested her chin
in her hand, Heather looked at Evan with a serious expression. She didn’t understand why he was so
vexed.
“I’m afraid that you two won’t have any appetite tomorrow. You two might even lose your stomachs,”
Evan replied between clenched teeth. He began to suspect that he had made a misjudgment, for he
couldn’t imagine how Heather and Matthias would spend the rest of their lives together in the long days
toe. Were the two drunkards going to give birth to a little drunkard? At the thought of this, Evan
thought they’d better have a daughter instead.
Heather and Matthias looked at each other with a smile. They didn’t take Evan’s words to heart since it
was almost impossible to ask two people who loved drinking to stop at this moment. “Would you like to
have a few drinks with us, Evan?” Matthias grabbed Evan. He reached out to thetter, whereas
Heather had a gloating look on her face.
“I’m not drinking with you two.” Evan pushed Matthias’s hand away in disgust. He was already beside
himself with rage, so much so that he wished a huge boulder would fall from the sky and crush these
two demons to death.
“Come and have a drink. How could a man not drink liquor?” Matthias grabbed Evan and insisted that
he drank some alcohol, giving Evan quite a headache. On the other hand, Heather chimed in from the
side and said, “That’s right. You’re an adult man, so you’ll beughed at if you don’t drink alcohol.”
Evan resolutely refused to drink as he pushed away the vodka that Matthias handed to him. Matthis
has never bothered me like this, so has the alcohol really gone into his head this time? he thought to
himself. “I don’t like drinking,” he stressed again, though he could hardly suppress the irresistible urge
within him.
“You’ll like it.” Matthias picked up the wine ss right away and held it to Evan’s lips.
Evan felt ufortable when he smelled the alcohol. “You’re drunk, sir.” He broke free of Matthias’s
hold. Speaking of which, Evan was quite skilled at fighting.
“Evan is like ady,” Matthias said with augh.
Evan wished he could kill Matthias right now, but he told himself to calm down and not argue with the
two drunkards.
“Evan is an intelligent yet unassuming man.” Heather simply provoked him further by making such a
judgment about him.
They seldom saw Evan blowing up, but it seemed that they would seed in enraging him tonight.
Evan was getting increasingly furious right now, and he felt like a continuously inting balloon that
would explode right away at any minute.
“I’ll raise your pay starting from next month, Evan. Can’t you have a few drinks with us tonight?”
Matthias knew Evan’s weakness, so he was never tired of tempting Evan with a pay raise.
Evan was on the verge of an angry outburst at first, but he instantly calmed down upon hearing the
words ‘pay raise.’ He had asked Matthias for a pay raise many times both implicitly and explicitly, and it
was rare for Matthias to bring this up himself today. “Okay,” he answered readily.
Heather snorted withughter. As it turned out, it was so easy to deal with Evan, and she finally
understood why Matthias trusted Evan so much. Indeed, such a subordinate could be treated as a
trusted aide. How she wished she could have a trusted aide whom she could deal with using money!
Evan sat down between Matthias and Heather, separating them directly. Meanwhile, Matthias was
slightly displeased by this. As expected, Evan was arrogant and wouldn’t give in easily. Therefore, he
would definitely spite them.
“I’ll be drinking, and you two will drink with me.” Evan poured himself half a ss of vodka before filling
Matthias and Heather’s sses with it. This was totally unfair, but Heather didn’t mind these details.
She simply emptied her ss since vodka was like drinking water to her.
On the other hand, Matthias patted Evan on the shoulder after finishing a ss of vodka. “I’ll increase
your pay by 10,000 with every ss of vodka you drink. Let’s see how many tens of thousands you can
earn by drinking.” Now that he had a great time drinking, he became increasingly generous with money.
He then filled Evan’s ss to the brim with a mischievous smile on his lips. He was quite mischievous

by nature, after all.
Heather chimed in at one side, “It’s so easy to make money while working under you, Director Locke.”
As she spoke, she goaded Evan and said, “I would definitely finish ten sses in a row if I were you.”
Evan looked at the vodka with a frown. The vodka had an alcohol content of 40 percent, which was
indeed much lower than that of the previous bottles of liquor. However, he really couldn’t hold his liquor.
Was he going to drink himself unconscious here today for a pay raise? Still, he didn’t forget to remind
Matthias by saying, “I had a ss of vodka just now.”
Matthias nodded. “Yeah. There are nine sses left.” He had never behaved so inappropriately in the
past, but he waspletely hyped up right now.
After drinking a ss of vodka, Evan was already a bit tipsy. His head was already spinning, but he
forced himself to keep on drinking at the thought of how this was bound to his pay raise next month.
Furthermore, he expressly recorded his conversation with Matthias on his cell phone lest Matthias go
back on his word after sobering up. When Matthias was sober, he would y the recording to him to let
him know how crazy he had been the night before.
They drank and talked cheerfully, but Evan never expected that he could no longer drink anymore by
the time he drank the sixth ss of vodka. When he saw how Evan’s face flushed crimson, Matthias
continued to provoke him and said, “There are four sses left. Do you want me to fill all the sses
for you?” Matthias gave Evan a re as he wanted thetter to continue pulling his socks up, but Evan
couldn’t drink another drop.
Since there wasn’t much liquor left in the bottle, Heather fanned the mes by suggesting, “Evan, why
don’t you finish this bottle of wine in a gulp? If you do that, we’ll just consider it as drinking 10 sses
of wine.”
Evan closed his eyes and steeled himself. Then, he directly picked up the bottle of vodka and poured
the liquor down his throat, finishing all the liquor in one gulp with the attitude of someone who was
swallowing medicine.
Matthias and Heather cheered at one side as these two drunkards were never tired of having fun. Evan
had drunk a bit too fast this time, so he vomited all the liquor as soon as he downed them. Matthias
was still feeling bad about his vodka, and he said to Evan, “You’re terrible at holding your liquor.”
On the other hand, Heather had sobered up a little. She was somewhat nauseated by the filth Evan
vomited up as a foul smell lingered in the air.
Evan waspletely drunk this time. He really had drunk himself into a stupor, though Matthias and
Heather were sobered up a little when he threw up. Those who got drunk liked to fool around, and so
did Evan. After wiping his mouth directly with the handkerchief, he insisted that he wanted to keep on
drinking. “Liquor! I want liquor!” He was displeased upon seeing that there was no liquor left on the
table.
“There’s no liquor anymore. You’ve finished the liquor yourself.” Matthias had counted on Evan to go
down to the basement and bring a few more bottles of liquor for them. However, who would have
expected them to go so far by making Evan drunk right away?
“Give me liquor. I can still have a drink.” Right now, Evan was the one asking for liquor instead.
Matthias couldn’t help but frown. When he saw how wobbly Evan was when he staggered to his feet,
he was extremely worried; he feared that Evan would step on what he had vomited earlier.
Heather shot Matthias a nce, signaling him that he must keep Evan under control and not let Evan
fool around at this moment. However, a drunk person couldn’t be held in check at all.
Matthias tried his best to prop himself up as he stood up. Then, he came to Evan’s side and steadied
thetter. “You’re drunk.” He had sobered up by now, and he couldn’t help but blush upon recalling how
he had insisted Evan to drink all the liquor earlier.
“No. I’m still sober. You’re Matthias,” Evan said while pointing at Matthias as he tried to break free of
thetter’s grasp.
“You really are drunk, so stop fooling around.” Matthias lowered his voice. How many drunk people
would admit that they were drunk, anyway?
“Let go of me,” Evan said irritably.
Evan became more aggressive as he got drunk, but Matthias wasn’t worried as he believed he could
still hold Evan in check. Therefore, he grabbed Evan’s arm in a firm grip.
“Let go of me.” Evan’s voice deepened as it seemed that he was about to lose his temper.
“Sober up a little, Evan Hemsworth,” Matthias called Evan by his full name right away.
This name was unfamiliar even to Evan since he hadn’t heard the name for a long time. “Don’t call me
by this name, Matthias.” He expressed his displeasure.
Matthias had to find a way to calm Evan down. He couldn’t let things go on like this, for Evan was
getting more and more emotional right now. He felt somewhat troubled; wasn’t he asking for trouble by
doing this?
“Can you guys still go downstairs?” Heather also thought that this was bad. She wondered if they
should get off the rooftop right away since the wind that night was quite chilly.
“Yes, I can,” Matthias and Evan replied in chorus.
Heather stood up right away. “I’ll go down first. Be careful, the both of you,” she said while walking
toward the stairs. She hadpletely sobered up right now, and she looked totally unaffected by the
alcohol.
On the other hand, Matthias followed closely behind her while supporting Evan. Heather feared that the
two men behind her would suddenly fall over, causing the three of them to fall down the stairs right
away. Luckily, they safely came down the stairs, but Evan was still making noises. As it turned out,
Evan looked so unsightly when he was drunk. It was left to the servants to clean up the mess on the
rooftop, whereas Matthias had to personally take care of the trouble caused by Evan here.
Heather looked at Matthias before ncing at the badly-behaved Evan. Then, she said with a smile, “I’ll
let you two off once for today. I must see you two dance the next time Ie.” Surprisingly, she still
remembered the pas de deux; Matthias thought she had forgotten about it.
Upon hearing Heather’s words, Matthias looked ill at ease. He didn’t know how to answer her.
When she saw Matthias’ response, Heather continued on her own, “I’m going back first. Take good
care of Evan.” She looked apologetically at Evan, who was as drunk as a lord. Indeed, they had really
gone too far today.
Matthias wanted to persuade Heather to stay, but he ended up saying, “Okay. Just be rest assured.”
Evan was displeased, though. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me. All I need is wine,” he said while
shoving Matthias directly toward Heather without Matthias noticing.
However, he pushed Matthias too hard and almost caused the both of them to bump right into each
other directly. Luckily, Matthias steadied himself in the end and took the opportunity to hold her in his
arms, avoiding the embarrassment of them bumping into each other.
At that moment, Heather was being held in Matthias’ arms. She was still a little shy in front of outsiders,
so she pushed his chest. However, Matthias was still enjoying the warm and supple body in his arms.
He was so reluctant to let Heather go that he wanted to mix her into his flesh.
