When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1327


    “Wow, I never expected Bryson to pull such a trick. At least he’s doing right by us men.”


    “The sses are filled to the brim. Wouldn’t drinking all three burn a hole right through the stomach?


    Isn’t he a little bit too savage?”


    “What do you know? Let this serve as a lesson for that conniving woman!”


    “Hmp! You guys don’t know yet, do you? To kickstart her business when she first established her


    company, she’d already damaged her stomach from too much social drinking. She won’t merely suffer


    from drinking these three sses of whiskey, she’d probably lose her life! I never expected Bryson


    Queen to be such a ruthless man!”


    I was bewildered by all the gossip, wondering which part was true and which was false. However, when


    I noticed Thora remaining motionless after a long time, I surmised that therger part of it was true.


    Just like when Bryson received the gift on stage, Thora was caught between a rock and a hard ce,


    hesitating to agree to drink the sses of whiskey.


    In a world where power and money were supreme, both sides would never be able to truly end their


    dispute if they didn’t put down their egos and apologize.


    At that moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Thora as they waited for her response with bated


    breaths. The air seemed to freeze and except for the faint static sounding from the microphone,


    the entire hall was quiet.


    Finally, after a good ten seconds, Thora’s expression changed subtly and she walked toward Bryson.


    Without a word, she polished off all three sses of whiskey.


    The guests couldn’t help from gasping aloud. Even Bryson was taken aback, probably not expecting


    her to be so cooperative.


    After downing three sses of whiskey, Thora didn’t look too good, but things didn’t seem to be as


    exaggerated as the gossiping crowd made it sound. Under the hollers of the emcee and the guests,


    she even shook hands to make peace with Bryson.


    Everyone was naturally happy to see their harmonious interaction. Soon after, Thora and Bryson


    returned to enjoying the banquet.


    I kept my attention on Thora the whole time, but the crowd was too thick and I lost sight of her in the


    blink of an eye. Later on, Emma informed me that she had already left through the back door.


    Not long after Thora left, Bryson brought a cheque over to me, his body reeking of alcohol.


    “Ms. Stovall, today’s a day of celebration. This is my reward to you and Brooklyn. Take it.”


    With that, he stuffed the cheque into my hand.


    Looking down, I saw one hundred and fifty million written on it. Although I knew Bryson was loaded,


    this still came as a shock.


    Thewsuit was mainly to demand for apensation. ording to thew, up to thirty percent of the


    compensation could be collected as the attorney fees. Even if Bryson paid us the hundred million as


    promised, it would already be considered excessively generous. Hence, adding another fifty million was


    really unsettling.


    “Mr. Queen, isn’t this a bit too much?” I protested.


    “Nah, it’s not. The two of you have helped me so much, Ms. Stovall. You both deserve this. Besides, we


    already agreed on this. The extra amount belongs to you. Please ept it.”


    Since Bryson insisted, I had no choice but to temporarily ept it and get Brooklyn to handle itter.


    Nothing worthwhile came easily. Since I epted something that didn’t belong to me, I would


    indefinitely have to pay a price. Although Bryson didn’t look like he wasying out a trap for me, there


    was no way to bepletely certain. Hence, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to keep my guard up for the time


    being.


    Right then, John interjected, “Mr. Queen, well-yed just now. That woman is probably hooked up to


    an IV drip at the hospital now, huh?”


    “Huh? What do you mean, Mr. Stovall?” Bryson asked in confusion.


    “Didn’t you know that Thora’s stomach can’t handle alcohol?” John squinted with suspicion.


    “What? Is that true?” Bryson’s face instantly fell. “I had no idea!”


    He was momentarily stunned before pping a hand on his forehead and saying dismally, “Jesus! I


    simply wanted to do things the way we do it at home. To the Queens, an apology isn’t an apology until


    alcohol is involved. If I knew about this earlier, I would never have asked her to drink!”

    John smirked and patted him on the shoulder. “It’s fine. Serves her right anyway. There’s no need to


    feel guilty about it.


    “That’s not right. Okay, you all enjoy the party and I’ll make a trip to the hospital. Sorry for leaving so


    soon. I hope you understand.”
