Chapter 19
The sports car parked outside the bar, and Manon casually closed the car door and threw the car key to the waiter before walking into the bar. As she walked, she looked up at the numbers on the private room doors. Turning the corner, she saw Megan leaning against the wall. From the look of it, it seemed like she had been waiting for a while.
Manon walked over quickly and stood in front of her. She didn't want to waste any time and went straight to the point, "Where is the seal?"
Looking up at Manon, Megan's eyes slowly filled with disdain. She looked at her contemptuously and ignored her question, saying, "Manon, I'm not trying to insult you, but you can't even keep your own man. How dare you try to seduce someone else's man?"
Manon was a little confused by her words. But at this moment, she didn't want to get entangled with Megan. She just wanted to get her mother's seal and get rid of Adrian. "I don't understand what you're saying. Where is the seal?"
This seemed to have provoked Megan even more. She exploded with anger and her eyes were filled with fury. "Stop pretending! Maybe others don't know what you want to do, but I do! You just want to get revenge on our family!"
Hearing her words, Manon understood what was going on.
It seemed like she had been fooled.
Thinking of this, Manson eyes turned cold. She glanced at Megan warningly and was about to leave when someone behind her grabbed her arm.
Megan stared at her fiercely. "Manon, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Adrian is mine, and you can't take him away!"
Manon couldn't help but find it funny. She looked at Megan as if she was an idiot. Take him away? Did she think she had the power to do that?
Megan was getting annoyed by her reaction. "What are you laughing at?!"
"I don't have any thoughts about the blue sky, not everyone is like flies, liking to circle around garbage," Manon spoke with hidden meaning, her eyes showing undisguised mockery. She sneered, breaking free from Megan's grasp and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of a man sitting inside room 228 through the glass door.
Manon's figure suddenly froze in place.
Megan noticed Manon's movement, and the anger that had been provoked by her dissipated instantly. She walked over with a smug look on her face and followed Manon's gaze inside the room.
"Isn't the person inside your dear husband? Are there a few women sitting next to him? They look pretty good in terms of figure and appearance. Manon , what's wrong with you? Aren't you his wife? Weren't you two very loving? Why is your husband here?"
Although her tone was concerned, her words were full of sarcasm. Seeing that Manon didn't speak, she thought she had hit a nerve and continued, "Did you and Mr. Malcolm just pretend to be in love before? No wonder you dare to openly seduce my fiancee . It turns out that you were playing each other."Manon coldly glanced at her but didn't say anything. She turned her head to stare at the man inside the room. There were two women sitting on either side of him, pouring drinks for him without any displeasure.
Manon clenched her fists, feeling a sudden sourness in her heart, her face slightly lost in thought.
Megan looked at her expression and left with a sneer, leaving Manon standing alone in front of the room.
After a long time, Manon came back to her senses and laughed at herself.
What was she doing?
Their relationship was just a contractual one. What did it have to do with him?
Just like what Megan said, their previous affection was just an act. They were originally playing each other.
She figured it out and turned around to leave, but her arm was grabbed by someone.
Manon's heart trembled, but when she turned around and saw the unfamiliar face, her expression returned to normal. She was about to ask what was going on when the person spoke first.
"Thank goodness you're here. I have other things to attend to. Take these bottles of wine to that private room. The people inside are not ordinary, so be smart! Ifyou're lucky, you might catch the eye of a wealthy gentleman," the man said.
"I don't think I've seen you before," the person paused, a hint of suspicion in their eyes, but then shook their head. "Never mind, just hurry and deliver the wine."
Without waiting for a response, the man stuffed three bottles of wine into her arms and hurried away.
In the hallway, Manon stared blankly at the bottles in her arms, blinking her eyes in confusion.
She thought about leaving the wine on the ground and walking away, but then she thought of Louis and bit her lip.She wanted to know how he would react when he saw her.
Pushing open the door to the private room, Manon walked in with the wine bottles and placed them on the table. "Your wine," she said in a cold voice.
Louis eyes flickered as he looked up and saw her.
Why was this little girl here?
Jersey also noticed Manon and turned to look at Louis, seeing the surprise on his face.
"The wine has been delivered. Have fun, everyone," Manon said, placing the wine on the table and preparing to leave.The people in the room, except for Louis and jersey, didn't know Manon and were attracted to her beauty. One of them stepped forward to stop her and smiled, "Beautiful, just delivering wine isn't enough. Can you pour us some wine too?"
Manon didn't say anything and looked up at Louis. Seeing that he had no reaction, Manon felt a surge of anger.
"Fine," she said, lowering her eyelashes and pouring wine for the men.
"Hehe, thank you, beautiful lady. How about this..."the man smiled and pushed a glass of wine in front of her , "As a thank you, let me treat you to this drink."Manon didn't say anything, she looked up and glanced at Louis, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met in the air, and they confronted each other for two or three seconds. Manon lowered her head first, raised the glass and drank it all in one go, "I've finished my drink, can I go now?"
Turning the glass over, Manon's eyes were cold.
"You have a good drinking capacity..." The man said with his eyes were full of interest.
He had just given Manon a specially brewed wine, which was very strong, but she seemed to be unaffected.
He smiled and exchanged a glance with his brother next to him,teasing, "You're leaving so soon? Why don't you stay and have some fun with us? The more we drink, the more fun we'll have."
As he spoke, he gestured towards the several brothers playing cards on the side, inviting, "Why don't you gamble and play cards with us?"
He knew the rules of the bar. Each lady was responsible for a private room, and the more expensive the drinks they ordered, the more commission they would receive. Manon's eyes turned a little colder at his words, and she suddenly turned her head to look straight at Louis.
However, the latter seemed to not recognize her at all, his face was cold and he was unapproachable.The two beautiful women beside him obediently poured wine and didn't dare to say a word.
Manon withdrew her gaze and looked up at the man with a brilliant smile. "Sure."
