Before Grace could tell him, Lina said, “We’re at… at Star Zouk. Hehe. The handsome men here… are famous. I… spent a fortune today…”

“I’m coming over right now!” With that said, Hadwin Stephenson ended the call.

Grace stared at the phone, feeling speechless all of a sudden. ‘Hadwin Stephenson’s coming over too? Why do I feel so confused?’

Manager Wang, who was standing outside the private room, had been waiting for the door to open again after Jason entered.

However, the door did not open again, and time continued to pa**…

Manager Wang almost pressed his ear against the door, hoping to hear what was going on inside.

‘What the hell is going on in there? Why isn’t anyone coming out even after so long? Did Young master Reed get angry and is… punishing those male escorts?’

Manager Wang’s scalp tingled at the thought of it. He hated that the sound insulation of the private room was so good that he could not hear anything.

Just then, Manager Wang’s phone rang again and his subordinate’s voice sounded. “Manager… Manager Wang, M-Mr. Stephenson is here too.”

“Mr. Stephenson? Which Mr. Stephenson?” snapped Manager Wang. He was busy now, but his subordinate was giving him trouble.

“Mr. Hadwin Stephenson, the president of Stephenson Group. News of his canceled engagement caused an uproar some time ago,” his subordinate said.

Manager Wang froze. “Stephenson… Hadwin Stephenson? He… He’s here?” For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

“And it seems to have something to do with that Miss Sweeney, Mrs. Reed’s friend. Mr. Stephenson asked where Mrs. Reed’s private room is.”

Manager Wang’s heart sank when he heard that. The next moment, he saw a tall figure walking toward him.

‘It’s… indeed Hadwin Stephenson!

‘Gosh, what the hell is going on? Why am I so ‘lucky’ today?’ Manager Wang wailed in his heart.

Hadwin Stephenson walked to the door of the private room and glanced at Manager Wang standing outside. “Are they still in there?”

“Yes… Yes, they’re in there,” Manager Wang said quickly.

Hadwin Stephenson opened the door, only to see the swaying Lina playing the finger guessing game with a group of men in the room. Grace was sitting beside Lina while Jason sat on a couch on the other side.

Hadwin Stephenson was a little surprised that Jason was also here.

Judging from the way Lina looked, he could tell that she probably had a lot to drink. The empty wine bottles in the private room confirmed his speculation.

The men playing the finger guessing game with Lina were relieved when they saw Hadwin Stephenson.

Someone had finally come to pick her up. After all, the longer the two women stayed in the private room, the more they had to suffer.

Under Young master Reed’s gaze, they dared not even breathe loudly and were so afraid of crossing the line that they had to be extra careful when playing the finger guessing game!

Hadwin Stephenson walked up to Lina. The cold aura emanating from his body could make others shudder.

However, Lina seemed to not feel it. She looked up and suddenly grinned after seeing Hadwin Stephenson. Then, she said to Grace, “Grace, look. Here comes another handsome man!”

Grace was speechless! Lina was so drunk that she could not recognize Hadwin Stephenson!

“But why does he look a little like… Who is it… Oh, why can’t I remember…” muttered Lina. She staggered to her feet and approached Hadwin Stephenson. Then, she put her arms around his neck as she stood on tiptoes to position her face nearer to him in an attempt to get a closer look.

Grace thought to herself that her best friend would never do such a thing if she were sober.

“You’re… pretty. You look… just like a doll.” Lina laughed as her right hand moved to Hadwin Stephenson’s face, drawing circles.

Hadwin Stephenson could not help falling into a trance. She had also been drunk on their first night in the hotel room abroad. She had held him just like this, saying that he was pretty and he looked like a doll…

After all these years, she still had not changed…

“Your face… feels comfortable. It’s cold…” said Lina. Then, as if she had something good to share with her best friend, she turned and said to Grace, “Grace, do you… Hiccup… Do you want to touch him too? It feels very comfortable…”

“No, it’s alright!” It was Jason who answered her. He looked at Hadwin Stephenson and snapped. “Control this woman. Tell her not to bring Grace to such a place again next time.”

With that, he dragged Grace out of the private room with her hand in his.

“Hey, wait. Jay, Lina is still inside…” said Grace.

“Hadwin Stephenson will send Lina home. You don’t have to worry,” said Jason.

“But…”

“Or do you want to stay and touch Hadwin Stephenson’s face to see how it feels?” He glanced at her.

“No!” Grace said quickly.

“Since your answer is no, then let’s go home,” said Jason.

In the private room, Hadwin Stephenson pulled Lina’s hands away before bending over and carrying Lina in his arms without saying a word. Then, he left the private room.

“Hey, I… I’m not leaving. I want to continue drinking and playing the finger guessing game with them. I want to… Um… I want to watch them dance…” shouted Lina as she struggled to get down from Hadwin Stephenson’s arms.

“Okay, I’ll drink with you, play the finger guessing game with you, and dance for you!” Hadwin Stephenson said coldly.

 “You…” In a daze, Lina tilted her head, seemingly thinking about what he was saying. She stopped struggling and quietly allowed him to hold her.

Hadwin Stephenson strode out of the private room with Lina in his arms. He paused at the door and glanced at Manager Wang, who was still waiting outside. He said, “I don’t want word to get out about what happened tonight. If I hear about it, I’ll shut down your nightclub.”

Manager Wang quickly answered, “Yes, yes! Mr. Stephenson, you won’t hear anything about tonight.”

Hadwin Stephenson left with Lina in his arms. Only then did Manager Wang take a long breath, feeling that his life had shortened by several years after tonight.

Jason and Hadwin Stephenson. Who would have thought that these two would come here one after another? Besides, neither of them was a pushover. Anyone would have a hard time if they messed with those two!

Manager Wang hurried into the private room and briefed the ten male escorts.

Hadwin Stephenson carried Lina into the car. When he put Lina in the back seat, his face paled a little more. His forehead was faintly covered with sweat, and he was clenching his teeth. He looked like he was enduring something.

Lina lay on the back seat of the car like a cat, rubbing and touching against the surface..

Moments later, Hadwin Stephenson’s complexion gradually returned to normal. He took a deep breath and bent over to buckle Lina’s seat belt. Then, he returned to the driver’s seat and started the car.

The car drove to the Sweeney family’s residential area and arrived at the parking lot near Lina’s apartment building. Hadwin Stephenson unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and went to the back seat. He saw Lina lying there with her eyes closed, looking asleep.

“Lina?” He unbuckled her seat belt as he called out her name. “Are you asleep?”

“Hmm?” She seemed to react to his words as she slowly opened her eyes. However, her unfocused eyes seemed to be telling him that she was still drunk. Even if she were not asleep, she was probably out of her senses.

“I’m going to carry you home now,” said Hadwin Stephenson as he bent over to carry Lina out of the car.

However, the next moment, her hand reached over and caught his collar.

He was so caught off guard that she managed to pull him into the back seat and had him press himself on top of her.

The smell of alcohol mixed with her own scent rushed into his nose, making him fall into a trance.
