“Isn’t your fiancée joining?” Kingsley asked.
Gianna glared at Kingsley, but he pretended not to see anything.
Caesar dismissed his suggestion, “Gianna cannot hold her drink.”
“Is that so?” Kingsley smiled.
Nobody could decipher his smile.
Even Gianna couldn’t figure out what Kingsley was thinking at the moment.
She just had a feeling that he was different from his usual self, what with his careless and smug
attitude at the moment.
“If you mind this, I can drink on behalf of Gina, Mr. Walker.” Caesar said directly.
“Since you are so protective of your fiancée, then I will take you on your offer. Cheers.” Kingsley
downed his drink in one go immediately after saying that.
Caesar did the same too.
After finishing the first glass, he poured himself another one and finished that too.
The drinking began.
For those who toasted to Caesar, he had to drink two glasses every time on behalf of Gianna.
Horace and Maureen was still immersed in their song, but after getting a signal from Kingsley, Horace
put down his microphone and went over to toast to Caesar.
They were actually trying to knock Caesar out cold.
Maureen glared at Horace with resentment.
They were in the middle of a nice song, why did he run away like that?
She wanted to pass her microphone to Brandon at first, but after hearing from Horace that any couple
who sang this “Lovers of Hiroshima” would split up in the end, she stopped short. Although that
sounded ridiculous, but what if it came true?
Thinking that, Maureen decided to put down her microphone and stopped singing, but at that moment
there was a sudden deep voice who continued the song. His singing was good.
“After going over the limits of morality / We have gone through the forbidden area of love / Enjoying this
false happiness / Misunderstanding the meaning of happiness.” Bruce was singing.
Maureen froze for a few seconds before singing her part, “…As long as I won’t let love slip from my
fingers tomorrow / We can still say goodbye.”
“I don’t have enough time to love you properly.” Bruce added.
“We should have stopped…” Maureen suddenly let her voice trailed off.
She didn’t feel like singing anymore.
She handed her microphone to Gemma who was beside, “You continue the song.”
“I don’t know how to sing this song.” Gemma rejected hastily.
Helen sensed Maureen’s gaze, “Neither do I.”
Maureen was speechless.
She couldn’t help but glance at Brandon and found that he was sitting in a corner.
Due to the difference in the environment when growing up, he couldn’t mesh with these rich masters
and ladies from the upper class of society.
After working for a year, he was much better at facing such situations. If this was his past self, he
wouldn’t even want to join a gathering like this.
Maureen tossed her microphone on a tea table and headed to where Brandon was.
She was afraid that he couldn’t be himself in such a place, so she always tried to show some concern
towards him.
Brandon saw Maureen returning to his side and he faintly smiled. Then, he took her into his embrace
like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Bruce glanced in their direction.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued singing on his own.
Horace returned from drinking and saw that Bruce was singing alone.
He was covering both the male and female’s part.
He proceeded to pick up a microphone and sang the female’s part.
This song really suited Bruce well.
On the other hand, Caesar was busy toasting to others, and every time he drank his own glass he had
to drink twice for Gianna’s sake.
Although he had consumed so much alcohol, he did enjoy being flattered and toasted to like this.
Therefore, he didn’t refuse anyone who toasted to him. He would down his glass in one go and he
would drink them very hastily.
Soon, it appeared that he was getting pretty drunk.
Caesar whispered by Gianna’s ears, “I’m going to the toilet.”
“Can you manage on your own?” Gianna pretended to worry about him.
Everyone was able to see their intimate interaction.
Helen was going crazy due to jealousy.
If it was not because of Gianna who had inherited the Morris Group, Helen would shine as the young
lady of the family. She wouldn’t appear so out of place among these people. It was obvious that she
didn’t have much courage and confidence now.
Not only she was frustrated tonight, she knew that her mother was so mad and upset too.
All of a sudden, Fiona had turned into a pretty woman, and she had become the centre of attraction. All
of a sudden, all those rich ladies of the affluent families were all surrounding Fiona. If the right to inherit
the properties of the Morris family fell into their family, Helen’s mother would have owned what Fiona
had right now, and she would have gotten all the treatment that Gianna was enjoying right now!
Helen kept her resentment hidden.
She almost wanted to rush forward and split Caesar and Gianna up.
Luckily, they were just exchanging some words intimately before Caesar dismissing himself from the
suite.
Helen didn’t react to that as she heard Gemma whispering by her ears, “Sis, Mr. Kennedy has gone
out.”
Helen initially wanted to scold her for stating the obvious, but the next second she immediately
understood what Gemma was implying.
She had to admit that this illicit daughter of her family sometimes irritated her and she always looked
down on her, but Gemma was one unscrupulous scoundrel. Perhaps this personality of hers could help
Helen.
She silently got up and made sure no one was looking before she disappeared at the door.
Gianna had seen all of that.
After some time, Caesar was finally back.
He seemed to be more sober compared to just now.
However, the others started to toast to him once again.
Helen only came back after some extended period of time, and when she appeared, there was a
suspicious reddish glow on her cheeks, as if she was embarrassed about something.
The other youngsters in the room were still drinking and singing.
The atmosphere was very livid.
Gianna completely ignored Caesar, seeing that he was forced by Horace to keep drinking alcohol.
She got up and left.
When she left, Caesar didn’t notice her going missing too.
The fact of the matter was that Caesar wanted to suck up to Horace because the Clarks had a special
background which Caesar was eyeing.
Once Caesar got going with his own agenda, he would always ignore her temporarily.
She got out of the suite stealthily.
After waiting at the door for some time, she saw Kingsley come out too.
She was precisely waiting for him.
The two of them headed deep into the corridors.
Gianna began, “Later, I will think of some way to let Helen send Caesar back.”
Kingsley remained silent.
“By the time they leave, you make sure to ask Horace to find someone to follow from behind closely.”
“There is just a month until your marriage. Are you that sure that Caesar would do something like that?”
“I’m very sure.” One couldn’t change his ways in such a short time.
As long as Helen took the initiative here, Caesar could never refuse.
Obviously, Helen was so envious tonight that the possibility of her not taking any action was negligible.
“Since you are so sure, then am I going to dismiss the idea of using the drug prepared by Horace?”
Kingsley said in a monotonous voice.
“I don’t need that.”
“You really mean it, or is it you who also want to prepare an escape route for yourself?” The corner of
Kingsley’s mouth lifted, and his tone indicated that he was making a snarky remark.
Gianna only understood his words after a few seconds.
She said with conviction, “I never hold back, and I won’t for sure do that to Caesar.”
“Is that so?” Kingsley said in disbelief.
“You will know tonight.” After saying that sentence, Gianna turned around and left.
The moment she took a step, her body was suddenly pinned on the wall by a force.
Kingsley who was slightly tipsy at the moment… was very dangerous!
