Chapter 74


    The man’s gaze remained fixed on Isabe’s eyes as he drank the entire


    content of the ss. Then, he flipped the ss upside down.


    The surrounding crowd erupted into cheers. It was more intense than when


    the muscr man had his turn.


    Isabe lowered her head and rolled her eyes, bing even more


    suspicious that the person in front of her was Seth. Other than Seth, she


    wouldn’t experience this kind of physiological fear toward anyone else.


    “Only one drink left.” The man reminded her.


    She snorted and continued to mix the drink. She nned to discreetly add


    the ‘good stuff’ to the ss, but just as she reached out, the man standing in


    front of the bar suddenly stretched his hand across and grabbed her arm.


    “What are you taking?”


    Isabe’s heart skipped a beat, and she was momentarily flustered but


    quickly forced a smile.


    “I’m just adding some fruit to decorate it and help you ease the alcohol buzz.”


    “Why are you so nice to him?” Someone nearby grumbled in jealousy. “Is it


    because he looks handsome?”


    Laughter ensued.


    Isabe was unfazed as she nced at the man in front of her. “Could you


    please let go first? You’re hurting me.”


    A glint of darkness shed in the man’s eyes, and the next moment, he


    released her arm.


    Though the restraint on her arm loosened, her heart tensed up.


    That touch just now confirmed her suspicions-the man before her was


    indeed Seth!


    Damn it! Why was he meddling in this?


    “Are there no more drinks?” The man lifted his chin slightly, and his words


    carried a hint of provocation.


    Isabe bít her lip, scanned the bar, and eventually settled on a bottle of


    vodka.


    Without bothering to mix a new concoction, she switched to arger ss,


    filled it to the brim with vodka, and put a lemon wedge on the ss.


    “Enjoy.”


    “Will you leave with me after I finish this drink?” The man spoke softly. He was


    deliberately prolonging the suspense just to y with her emotions.


    Isabe could sense the mockery in his eyes even though she couldn’t see


    the rest of his face. She was nervous, but she had to maintain her


    “After you finish without falling.”


    “Fine.” The man snorted and picked up the ss in front of him.


    Numerous eyes were fixated on the ss in his hand. There was a mix of


    excitement and reluctance. This thorny rose might actually be plucked by


    someone else.


    Isabe couldn’t help but look at the ss. She saw it slowly deplete as the


    man consumed every drop.


    Arge ss of vodka like that should be quite challenging, even without any


    drug.


    Isabe knew Seth had a good tolerance for alcohol, but he wasn’t invincible.


    This ss might just be enough to take him down.


    Yet, there was no sign of him being affected by it even after the man handed


    the ss back to her.


    He reached out to her. “Let’s go.”


    Isabe found herself in a difficult situation. The crowd around them was


    cheering, and if she didn’t go along, the bar would probably be stormed by


    people.


    She had no choice. She could only open the small door behind the bar and


    walk out to join the man.


    He pulled her close abruptly, his hand encircled her neck, and he leaned in to


    kiss her without any warning.


    Isabe’s mind went nk, and she forgot to push him away. Amidst the


    uproar around her, the taste of alcohol transmitted from the man’s lips


    overwhelmed her and made her almost lose her footing.


    After exploring her mouth thoroughly, the man suddenly released her and


    pulled her through the crowd before heading straight upstairs to a private


    room.


    The remarks from the surrounding onlookers were like a wedding night


    celebration as they witnessed the two of them going upstairs.


    Isabe’s head felt hot as if it were about to explode. She was forced to follow


    along while contemting whether or not to expose Seth.


    If she didn’t expose him, this b*stard might actually do something to her, but

    if she did, it might not necessarily stop him.


    Ah!


    Her mind was in turmoil. She was already pulled into the room at this point.


    With a bang, the door closed behind her, and she was pushed up against it.


    A passionate kiss engulfed her without giving her a chance to catch her


    breath.


    She closed her mouth, but the man ruthlessly bit her, forcing her to open her


    mouth.


    “Um…”


    Isabe was cursing inside. This b*stard was probably reminiscing about


    their previous encounters, so he was using her as entertainment.


    She struggled and managed to free her hands before pushing him away


    forcefully!


    The man took several steps back and steadied himself. His eyes scanned her


    with an intense gaze.


    Isabe was tense all over as she leaned against the door. “Aren’t you going


    to take a shower?”


    “Can we continue after I take a shower?” He didn’t seem inclined to expose


    her. His cold and scrutinizing gaze shifted to a yful one.


    Isabe swallowed hard. “I don’t like the smell of alcohol on men’s bodies, and


    I don’t like kissing men with the taste of alcohol in their mouths.”


    “Okay.”


    He agreed readily and suddenly opened his arms.


    “Come here.”


    Did he want her to undress him?
