In the nightclub, Valeria was on cloud nine.
After drinking too much, she staggered while walking to the bathroom.
When she was going back to the private room, one of the other doors opened.
Michael cupped his face as he came out with a smile.
Because he was cupping his face, Valeria paid extra attention to his cheeks.
His cheeks were red, and she wondered, "What's going on? Did someone hit him?"
"How could he still smile after getting hit? He's too drunk!"
Valeria was puzzled.
Then, she saw Abbie coming out of the room with messy hair and crumpled clothes.
Valeria was dizzy after drinking so much.
"Abbie, what are you doing here?"
A trace of awkwardness flashed across her face at the question.
"I...I came out for a walk."
"For a walk? I just saw Michael coming out from here too! Was he also taking a walk?"
Abbie's face was as red as a tomato.
She knew that Valeria was drunk after she nonchalantly asked her questions like that.
"You saw wrong!"
"Hey! Why are your lips swollen?"
Valeria got closer to Abbie and asked, "Did you get bitten?"
"I accidentally bit myself just now."
Abbie looked more and more unnatural, but Valeria, who was drunk, didn't give it much thought.
"How could you be so careless to bite yourself! Let's go back and have a drink!"
Abbie shook her head and rejected, "I have some stuff to attend to so I'll go home first."
"What's that?"
"Some personal stuff.I will look for you tomorrow"
Abbie said as she left in a hurry.
Valeria stared at her back for a while before staggering back to the private room.
William came out of the door to help her.
"I told you not to drink anymore, but you didn't listen.Now you're so drunk! You're even staggering when
you walk."
"Who said I drank too much? I didn't drink too much.I can actually still drink...two more bottles!"
"Wow, how amazing! I know you can.You can still drink a whole crate !"
William held her and retorted in anger and amusement.
"Let's go home.Don't go in!"
"Is there anyone else in there? What would they think of me if the host leaves first?"
She refused to leave.
"Marcus is in the room attending to the guests.Don't worry, we're all friends."
He held her in his arms and took her out of the nightclub.
Outside, Bobby immediately drove the car to the entrance.
William helped Valeria get in the car, and then he got in himself.
Valeria put her head on his lap and muttered, "William, I saw Abbie and Michael come out of another
room.Abbie said that she came out for a walk.Why did she go to another room for a walk?"
"Really? Maybe her other friends were in that room"
William agreed with her.
"But I saw that her lips were swollen, and she said she bit it herself.Michael looked like he had been hit
too! Half of his face was covered with handprints."
Upon hearing this, William immediately understood what happened.
Michael must have done something to Abbie.
"You're really sharp with your observations!"
"Yes, I have good eyesight!" Valeria was proud.
"Listen, I suspect that Abbie didn't bite her lips.She must have accidentally kissed someone in that
room."
Valeria was different when she was drunk.
She looked cute.
William held back his laughter and asked, "How did you know?"
"I know from my personal experience! The last time you kissed me, you also bit my lip.I remember it
very clearly"
William held his forehead, and he looked at Bobby, who was driving before saying, "Don't spout
nonsense."
"This isn't nonsense! You bit my lip, don't deny it! If you don't admit it, I won't let you kiss me next time!"
"Okay, I admit it!"
William found it amusing.
"So Abbie really kissed someone? Who kissed her? I am so curious! I feel that no one is good enough
for her.She is so pretty! I have to see if that person is worthy of being with her...I can't let her be taken
advantage of!"
After she said that, she suddenly remembered something.
"I don't know if Richard knows about this or not.I think I have to tell him.He’s a better judge than I am
when it comes to reading people."
William was shocked when he heard this, so he immediately said, "Please don't tell Richard about this."
"Why?"
"No reason, listen to me.You can't tell Richard about it.You can only tell me! If you do, then Abbie and
Michael will suffer"
"It's just a relationship.Why should they suffer? Besides that, what does Michael have to do with this?"
It was hard to reason with drunk people.
William gently patted her and said, "Sleep for a while.I'll tell you when you wake up!"
Valeria closed her eyes obediently as he continued to pat her gently.
When he saw her sleeping soundly, he picked up his phone and sent Michael a message.
"Starting from now, you'll be my wife's lawyer for free for three years.
"Are you crazy? Why should I ?" Michael snorted.
"Because we know that you kissed Abbie in the private room!"
Michael replied with, "F*ck!"
William smirked and replied, "Can you send me a proper reply? If you can't, I'll tell Richard about it right
away and let him skin you alive!"
Michael was so angry that he sent a whole paragraph of words.
"William, you f*cker, you've gone too far.You coerced me to be your lawyer for free for three years just
because of this stupid thing.I didn't charge a penny.Now, you want to force me to be your wife's lawyer
for free.Who do you think I am?"
"I'm telling you, this for your own good.It won't be a waste if you become my wife's lawyer for free! She
and Abbie are best friends.If you make her happy, she will speak up for you in front of her.Wouldn't it be
much easier for you to get what you want? Your lawyer work can serve as payment for my wife's cupid
work."
"Let me think about it!"
"What else do you need to think about? I'm telling you, my wife said that she's going to tell Richard, so
you'd better give me a quick answer.Otherwise, it'll be too late when my wife tells him about it
tomorrow!"
Michael was silent for a long while.
"Okay, you said so! She'll be my cupid?"
"As I said, a man of honor never goes back on his words."
"It's a deal!"
After Valeria and William left, the rest of the people in the nightclub room also dispersed.
Richard followed Lamont and Braelynn till they were outside, and he even took the initiative to ask, "Do
you need me to send you off?"
"No, thank you, Mr.Clark!" Lamont thanked him politely.
Richard did not persist either.
He looked at Braelynn and said, "Ms.Saunders, you will help Valeria manage the company, so we will
meet more often in the future.For future convenience, let's be friends on WhatsApp."
Braelynn hesitated obviously and said, "Well...that's fine."
After adding her on WhatsApp, he got into his own car and texted William, "Is Braelynn Saunders really
Lamont's daughter? Why do I think that she kind of looks like Valeria?"
