Chapter 268


    After entering the bar, Ste walked straight to the bar counter and asked for a ss of wine.


    As soon as she sat down, someone immediately came over and hit on her, “Beauty, you’re alone?”


    Ste replied while smiling, “Yeah.”


    The man said, “It’s a fate for us to meet each other. Let me buy you a drink.”


    As he said, he snapped his finger at the bartender, “Give this beauty a blue margarita.”


    After his words were uttered, an upright figure appeared beside him, “Since you love to treat others to


    something so much, why don’t you buy me a drink also, I’m also alone.”


    The man was speechless.


    This person was crazy, right.


    rence leaned against the bar and blocked him from seeing Ste. His slender fingers were tapping


    on the countertop, “What, you have sexism?”


    The man smiled awkwardly and patted his shoulder, “Buddy, how can you say like that, alright, since


    it’s New Year, let’s drink and I’ll just treat it as I’m making friends with you, what do you want to drink?


    Order it.”


    rence said, “Then I’ll really order whatever I want.”


    After he finished his words, he looked at the bartender, “A ss of Louis XIII.”


    The bartender was stunned and he said, “Sir, Louis XIII is not avable to be sold to a person.”


    “I know, open a six-litre one, I want a ss of it. For the rest, this gentleman will treat the other guests


    in the bar to drink.”


    The man’s face stiffened so much and it was contorted. He said in displeasure, “Buddy, you’re looking


    for trouble, right?”


    Louis XIII was France’s top brandy and a few hundred millimetres of it cost more than ten thousand


    yuan, let alone six litres, which cost at least a few hundred thousand yuan.


    Even he himself had never had a sip. Wasn’t this very obvious that he was deliberately tricking him?


    rence spoke indifferently, “You can’t afford it? If you can’t afford it, don’t try to keep up


    appearances.”


    When the man was just about to get angry, he pulled out a ck card from his wallet and handed it to


    the bartender, “Open a bottle, it’s my treat for this gentleman.”


    As he spoke, he said to the man again, “There are some things that are beautiful and only can be


    desired but not attainable. Stopping in time to avoid loss is the most sensible way. Just consider this


    lesson a free gift from me to you, don’t need to thank me.”


    If it was not because the man saw him take out the limited ck card without even blinking and ask the


    bartender to open a bottle of Louis XIII, at this time, his fist would have fallen on his face.


    The man also saw that he had a great temperament and knew that this was a game for rich people. So,


    he could only leave embarrassedly.


    The bartender warily took the ck card, “Si…sir, we don’t have the six-litre one here…”


    rence said, “Give me the same ss of what she just ordered.”


    “Alright.”


    After the bartender gave back the hot ck card, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    He had been working here for so long and had seen many rich dudes. But, he had never met someone


    who opened a six-litre bottle of Louis XIII to treat everyone.


    rence sat next to Ste as if he still had no intention to talk to her.


    Ste yed with her phone and ignored him.


    A short whileter, the bartender brought their sses of wine over.


    Ste took a sip. Among sweetness and the astringent taste, she felt it was a little spicy.


    This was the first time she drank such strong wine and she could not help but cough several times.


    She originally intended to go home but she could not hold back her anger. So, she finished the ss of


    wine bit by bit.


    After drinking, not knowing if it was because the air here was too stuffy or because there were too


    many people, Ste already felt hot and her cheeks were burning.


    She took a look at the clock. It was almost time to go back.


    When Ste felt the cold wind after leaving the bar, she shivered and felt a little dizzy. She took out her


    phone and dialled Sherry’s number, “Sherry, what are you doing?”


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “I’m watching the Spring Festival G, the one tonight is so boring…Are you still at Emmett’s house?


    When will you be back?”


    Ste said, “No. I’m at the bar. I can’t take a cab. I’ll send you an address, youe and fetch me.”


    “Okay, I’m going out now…”


    Before Sherry''s words were fully uttered, she heard some movements on the other end of the phone,


    followed by an indifferent male voice, “She is with me.”


    Although rence only said half of the sentence, Sherry was already able to figure out the whole


    sentence. It should almost be like, “She is with me, if you dare toe, don’t me me.”


    “Okay, please tell Ste that I drank at night so I can’t drive.”


    Sherry said this sentence seriously and then quickly hung up the phone.


    …


    Ste was expressionlessly looking at rence, “Give me back my phone.”


    Under her gaze, rence, however, calmly put her phone into his pants pocket.


    Ste was speechless.


    She said impolitely, “What exactly does Mr. Conrad want to do?”


    “Can I do it if I say so.”


    Even though Ste’s mind at this time was slightly puzzled after drinking, she still could keenly realize


    the trap in his words, “No!”


    “Then there is no need for me to say.”


    Ste ground her teeth, “Isn’t Mr. Conrad willing to ignore me, what is your purpose of doing this at this


    moment.”


    rence said without haste, “I didn’t ignore you, I just let you have enough time to think about your


    mistakes.”


    “Are you sick?”


    He was not only sick but very sick.


    So, this wretched man was even pushing his luck? He let her think about her own mistakes? Why the


    hell must she follow what he wanted her to do!


    rence said, “You clearly know Emmett’s feelings for you but you still went to his house with him to


    see his parents, aren’t you sick too?”


    “I…”


    Ste was so angry with him that her blood boiled. She instantly felt even dizzier and did not bother to


    talk to him. She only said, “Please give me back my phone, Mr. Conrad, I want to go home.”


    rence said, “Take it yourself.”


    “You’re really shameless.”


    rence raised his eyebrows, “You want to scold me for this?”


    If it was not because Ste did not want to have indecent behaviour in public, she would not have been


    able to contain her anger and would have taken off his pants to take back the phone.


    This ce was quite far from where she lived and she did not know the way to go back also.


    Otherwise, she would really have to walk back on her own.


    The wretched man had expected this and this was why he dared to threaten her so tantly.


    Ste took a deep breath. Since the wretched man was here, Nathan must also be waiting nearby.


    After searching for a while, she saw the Rolls Royce parked on the roadside.


    Ste directly walked over, opened the car door, bent her body and got in the car, “Please take me


    home, thank you.”


    The surprise was written all over Nathan’s face. He did not expect that a good thing like she got in the


    car by herself would actually happen.


    Then, the car door on the other side was also opened.


    rence said indifferently, “Let’s go.”


    Nathan answered, “Yes.”


    Ste closed her eyes and leaned back. She waszy to care anymore. This wretched man would not


    possibly sell her anyway.


    Not knowing how many minutes ticked by, the ck Rolls Royce stopped in front of an ordinary


    residential building.


    When Ste opened her eyes, Nathan was no longer there. Only rence was leaning against the car


    while smoking outside. His eyes were darkened and he was apparently pondering


    something.
