    Chapter 58 Not Qualified to Drink for Her


    Avery reached out and took the wine bottle. "You''re right. I should toast them."


    At the same time, Nichs and Isabe''s hands reached out from her left and right. "No, you can''t


    drink."


    Avery looked at Isabe with pleading eyes. "I''ll just have a little. It''s okay."


    Under the dazzling lights, Isabe saw the determination in Avery''s eyes and silently let go of her hand.


    Avery poured herself a ss of red wine. Nichs wanted to say something but stopped, so he could


    only watch as Avery walked step by step towards them with a smile on her face. "Mr. Hill, Miss White,


    to your lifetime happiness. I''ll finish it, and you can drink as you please. Consider this ss of wine as


    my early congrattions. I won''t attend your engagement banquet."


    Avery poured herself a full ss of wine, not bothering to look at Jacob and La''s expressions as she


    drank it all in one gulp, just like the others who had toasted them before.


    Jacob knew her drinking capacity. A whole ss of red wine was enough to make her drunk.


    La stood up, raised her ss, and smiled. "With your blessing, Jacob and I will definitely live


    together till old and grey."


    She didn''t want to show weakness, so she poured the same amount for herself and drank it all in one


    gulp.


    "That''s enough!"


    Nichs and Jacob spoke at the same time.


    Nichs took the wine ss from Avery''s hand, leaving half of the wine. He calmly said to Jacob, "Avy


    has a weak stomach, so I''ll drink the remaining wine for her."


    Jacob, who had been silent all this time, said with a yful smile, "Who are you to her? What


    qualifications do you have to drink for her?"


    Everyone at the table felt a bone-chilling coldness. They thought Jacob simply didn''t like someone else


    drinking for the one who toasted him, so they didn''t think much of it and just looked at Nichs with


    some embarrassment.


    Nichs remained calm and answered confidently, "What does my rtionship with Avy have to do

    with you?"


    Jacob lifted his eyes and looked at Nichs. Although Nichs was standing while he was sitting, his


    imposing aura overwhelmed everything. Although his face didn''t show much expression, just a casual


    nce from him increased the pressure.


    Everyone saw him smile lightly and calmly raise his wine ss. He said with a teasing voice, "The


    Lewis family has produced someone with backbone."


    Everyone was confused by his words. Was he praising Nichs? But why did his smile look so eerie?


    Then Jacob added, "I just don''t know if your family can survive this winter."


    Now everyone understood. This was clearly a threat! Jacob was indeed as ruthless and unpredictable


    as he was rumored. He wanted to ruin the Lewis family just because Nichs wanted to drink for


    Avery. He was too heartless and cruel.


    Nichs, at least, was the heir to a prestigious family. In the entire Astrie, everyone called him Mr.


    Lewis or Dr. Lewis with respect. But there was one person who could look down on everyone.


    Everyone knew that the Hill family was most esteemed. Although Jacob usually kept a low profile and


    rarely made a move, anyone he targeted would end up in ruins.


    Andrew didn''t think Jacob was joking and quickly smoothed things over. "Mr. Hill, don''t be angry. Dr.


    Lewis was just being kind."


    Jacob rubbed the edge of the wine ss with his fingertips and sneered. "Nichs, you''re not qualified


    to drink for her! I''ll give you one chance. Sit back down, and I''ll pretend this never happened."
