Therefore, everything was premeditated. Jacqueline Bowman did it because of Martin Weiss, which explained why she took so much effort in coming to her store and inviting her out.
“Do you think I’m going to harm you? We’re friends, after all,” muttered Jacqueline Bowman. However, the way she looked at Kyla was with traces of guilt.
In the private room, Neal Reid told everyone to help themselves to the food and drinks. He also ordered some desserts suitable for pregnant women, but Kyla did not touch her chopsticks, nor did she drink. Even though Jacqueline Bowman tried to persuade Kyla to eat, she still refused.
The atmosphere suddenly turned a little awkward.
Mr. Lambert instantly slammed his chopsticks on the table and shouted at Kyla, “What’s with the attitude? Do you think you’re all that just because you’re Martin Weiss’s woman? Men like him have a lot of women. Who do you think you are? Your pregnancy doesn’t mean anything. Believe it or not. I can make you drink in front of him and he won’t even say a word.”
“Who’s drinking?” The private room door was pushed open. A
voice rang and interrupted Mr. Lambert.
Everyone in the private room froze as they saw a tall figure walking 1. It was none other than Martin Weiss.
Martin Weiss was wearing a navy blue suit, while his hair was neatly combed. He looked noble and elegant. However, his face looked slightly pale under the lights. When Kyla’s eyes fell on Martin Weiss’s hand, she saw that it was wrapped with white bandages. It seemed that he had gone to the hospital to treat his wound yesterday.
However, Martin Weiss came in with several bodyguards. The tall and burly bodyguards immediately made those inside the private room feel oppressed.
The expressions of the other people in the private room instantly changed when they saw this. Neal Reid hurriedly got up and said, “Mr. Weiss. Hello, I’m Neal Reid. We’ve met in an exchange conference.”
Martin Weiss looked at him coldly.
Neal Reid only felt a chill in his body and hurriedly said, “Well… We happened to catch Miss Corbyn dining here today, so we thought we could dine together. Knowing that Miss Corbyn is your friend, we thought we could have a meal together.”
Jacqueline Bowman also said quickly, “Mr. Weiss, I’m Kyla’s friend. I helped Kyla out a lot in the past. I was reunited with Kyla by chance, so I invited her to a meal together. I wanted the gathering to be livelier, so I asked her to invite you over. I didn’t expect you to really come. Come, come. Have a seat, Mr. Weiss.”
Jacqueline Bowman said as she pulled out the chair next to Kyla.
Martin Weiss did not sit down and just said, “Who was the one who said they could make Kyla drink and I wouldn’t say a word? I didn’t hear very well from outside. I wonder if I missed out on anything else besides this.”
Mr. Lambert looked embarrassed. He immediately got up and said with a smile, “It’s a misunderstanding. It’s just misunderstanding. I just wanted to hype up the atmosphere and propose a toast to Miss Corbyn!”
“A toast?” Martin Weiss sneered. “Kyla’s pregnant, so she can’t drink. I’m injured, and the doctor told me not to drink for a while. How about this? I’ll have one of my men drink with you.”
With that said, Martin Weiss glanced at a bodyguard standing next to him, who promptly poured a glass of wine into an empty glass and downed it.
“Alright, we’ve drunk your toast, so I’ll make one to you too!” said Martin Weiss as he indifferently instructed his bodyguard. “Let him drink more, lest I appear stingy.
Today’s drinks are all on me!”
“Yes!” The bodyguard replied in acknowledgment and walked up to Mr. Lambert with a bottle of wine.
Mr. Lambert instantly felt uneasy. “Martin Weiss, what are you trying to do?”
“What am I trying to do? I’m making a toast to you, of course!” Martin Weiss said coldly. Then, the bodyguard shoved the mouth of the bottle right into Mr. Lambert’s mouth. Mr. Lambert was forced to drink. The wine was soon all over his face. Even the collar of his shirt was wet.
Neal Reid and the other two men looked at each other, their eyes full of shock. No one expected Martin Weiss to disregard all niceties so quickly and do something so forceful.
“Mister… Mr. Weiss, why did you do that? It’s just a misunderstanding. We only asked you to drink out of kindness. Mr. Lambert heard that Weiss Group seems to want to start some projects in Emerald City recently, so he wanted to have a meal with you and have a good chat. Mr. Lambert is familiar with both the police and triads in Emerald City. He has a lot of contacts.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could cooperate?” said Neal Reid.
“There are many people in Emerald City who want to cooperate with the Weiss family, but you’re the first who dared to make me come over using such a method. I’m going to make things clear. If anyone dares to hold Kyla captive to make me come over, then they’re making themselves my enemy!”
He spoke so imposingly that Neal Reid and the rest were instantly shocked.
The way Jacqueline Bowman looked at Kyla was even filled with a tinge of envy.
Martin Weiss was much more powerful than Neal Reid. His handsome appearance and lean, tall figure exuded the charm of a mature man. He was unlike Neal Reid, who was fat, middle-aged, and had a big belly. She would not have hooked up with Neal Reid if it had not been for money!
Besides, the way Martin Weiss protected Kyla gave others the illusion that Kyla was a treasure nobody could touch.
‘Treasure? Gosh, what am I thinking?’ Jacqueline Bowman sneered to herself.
If Martin Weiss cared about Kyla, he would not have let Kyla spend her life in a small store, especially when she was pregnant now!
After some time, Mr. Lambert finally finished the bottle of wine. Martin Weiss turned to look at Kyla. “Let me send you home.”
“Okay,” replied Kyla. She knew Martin Weiss did that to intimidate others and hint at them to stop having funny ideas with her.
Looking at Mr. Lambert’s miserable state, she had no sympathy for him. After all, Mr. Lambert would probably have hurt her if she had not called Martin Weiss.
Besides, the way Mr. Lambert looked right now could serve as a warning to Jacqueline Bowman as well.
Although Jacqueline Bowman had helped her out in the past, she did not like being used like that.
Jacqueline Bowman’s actions today had made Kyla upset.
Just as Kyla and Martin Weiss were about to leave, the unkempt Mr. Lambert rushed toward Kyla in anger. In Mr. Lambert’s opinion, everything today happened because of that b*tch Kyla. She embarrassed him in public, so there was no way he would spare Kyla!
However, before his hands could touch Kyla, Martin Weiss had already knocked him to the ground.
Then, Martin Weiss’s bodyguards came over and immediately subdued Mr. Lambert.
“Teach him a lesson about who he should and should not touch,” Martin Weiss ordered his bodyguards before leaving the private room with Kyla.
The other people in the private room paled as they looked at Mr. Lambert, who was pressed onto the ground like a dog. Even Neal Reid’s hands that were at his sides were trembling faintly.
They thought they could make friends with Martin Weiss through this meal today. However, they had become his enemies instead of friends!
Not only did they make enemies with Martin Weiss, but Mr. Lambert might also take out his anger on them. Neal Reid only thought he had offended both parties in this meal.
The only person he could vent his anger on was Jacqueline Bowman!
