Chapter 716 Violent Man


    Elizabeth hurriedly answered the phone.


    "Where are you?" Jorge''s anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line. "Why aren''t you


    home yet? I''ve been waiting for you for half an hour!"


    "I''m having dinner with my friends at the Riverside Restaurant. I''ll be backter," Elizabeth


    exined with a long face.


    "What the hell are you talking about? Friends? What friends? Come up with a better lie, Elizabeth!


    Tell me—are you with another man?" Jorge''s voice was so loud and his words so aggressive that


    everyone at the table could hear him through the phone.


    "You''re crazy!" Elizabeth didn''t want to waste her breath on him, so she hung up the phone angrily


    and downed yet another ss of wine.


    By then, she had finished almost a whole bottle of red wine by herself. Worried that she''d get drunk,


    J quickly stopped her. "Let''s eat something first before you have another drink, okay?"


    But Elizabeth only turned a deaf ear to her and continued to drink.


    In the end, J had no choice but to turn to Draco for help.


    Draco usually didn''t like to meddle in other people''s private affairs, but he couldn''t resist J''s


    pleading look.


    So he stopped Elizabeth. "That''s enough. Getting drunk will solve nothing."


    Draco had never scolded anyone like this before. Apart from being serious at work, he was gentle in


    private and had a good temper.


    Elizabeth obediently stopped, but it was probably toote. Her cheeks were flushed and she


    seemed to have trouble keeping her head up. She slumped over the table, tears in her eyes.


    After the phone call, Elizabeth didn''t have an appetite. She sat quietly as Draco and J ate their


    food.


    J walked her to the gate of the restaurant after dinner.


    She was worried about Elizabeth, so she wanted to drive her home. But their ces were on


    opposite ends of the city. It was toote for her to take Elizabeth home and then go home alone.


    It seemed that Draco could tell what was on her mind because he then offered to take Elizabeth


    home himself. "You should go home now. Drive safely."


    J didn''t insist on taking Elizabeth home herself. "Thank you, Mr. Wesley. You, too."


    Draco nodded and approached to take Elizabeth over from her. Elizabeth was so drunk that she


    couldn''t even stand by herself. Coincidentally, just as Draco came close, she fell into his arms.


    J didn''t think there was anything wrong. After all, Elizabeth was drunk and Draco had offered to


    take her home. Of course he had to help her into his car first.


    However, someone lurking nearby thought differently.


    Before Elizabeth could gather her bearings, an angry man stepped in front of Draco, blocking their


    way.


    The man pointed a finger at them aggressively. "So, you''re her new boy toy? Bitch, how dare you


    cheat on me!"


    It was Jorge, Elizabeth''s boyfriend.


    Worried that things were getting out of hand, J tried to stop him and hurriedly exined, "Sir,


    calm down. We''re both Elizabeth''s colleagues. We just had dinner together."

    "Go to hell, bitch!" Jorge refused to listen. He unscrupulously shoved J away from him.


    J didn''t expect him to be so violent. She almost fell down, but fortunately, somebody caught her


    in time.


    She looked back in surprise and saw that Brandon, wearing a ck overcoat, was holding her from


    behind. He helped her up and looked into her eyes with concern. "Are you okay?"
