Chapter 220: I Will Eat the Bottle!
An hour after the news that Lily chattered with Daniel’s mother in a cafe came out, Louis knows about
it. He is in the middle of a meeting. When seeing the news, his face darkens immediately.
The high-level workers in the conference room all draw back their necks, wailing on the inside about
how difficult it is to be in this meeting.
“Dismissed!”
Louis dismisses the meeting and pushes his chair before walking out of the conference room. Then he
dials the number of Daniel immediately.
He doesn’t feel good!
He dials the number twice, but Daniel still doesn’t pick up. David brings several urgent documents to
him and he also needs to attend an international video conference. So he has to suppress his anger
and deal with the things at hand.
At about 6p.m., Leigh calls, “Louis, we are waiting for you at the old place! Wow, did you watch the
news in the morning. It was so exciting!”
“Shut up.” Louis says in a cold voice, “Is Daniel there?”
“Yeah!”
After dealing with everything, Louis drives to the club.
In the same private room, there are some of his old friends.
“Here comes Louis!” Leigh moves his long legs from the desk to make some room for Louis. He also
pours a glass of brandy for him, “Have a drink?”
“No.” Louis pushes the glass away.
Leigh says with an exaggerated expression, “Damn! This was air-transported from Europe the day
before yesterday. Louis, as someone who loves tasting wine, you don’t want to drink this Do you think
my wine is not fancy enough?”
Justin smiles lightly and teases, “It’s not about how fancy your wine is. It’s because brandy is too
strong. Louis cannot let us see him drunk.”
“Oh, I remember now.” Leigh looks at Louis with a sly smile, “I know why Louis didn’t drink the wine. It’s
because Miss Lily is not here.”
“Louis, you can drink it if you want.” Justin takes a pill out of a small box, “I got this from the research
institute. As long as you have it, you won’t get drunk ever again.”
Leigh pours a glass of warm water and hands it to Louis, “Louis, drink some water to wash it down.”
Louis laughs, “Scientists from your research institute only know to develop these useless things with
the money from capitalists.”
“Once you have a pill, you will never get drunk again. How is it useless?” Justin says, “The pill is not on
the market. Many people can’t get their hands to it even with tremendous money.”
“I think Louis doesn’t want it at all.” Leigh hits the nail on the head, “Louis is afraid that the pill is going
to stand in the way between him and Miss Lily.”
Louis looks at Leigh with harsh eyes, “You like talking so much? Do you want me to fix your tongue?”
Leigh lets out a sigh and falls on the sofa.
Louis looks around and doesn’t see Daniel, “Where is Daniel?”
“Out picking a phone.” Justin says, “We wanted to ask Daniel about the news. But before we could ask,
his phone rang up. Then you came in.”
“Does Daniel’s mother really like Lily?” Leigh strokes his lips and says with his face full of curiosity,
“Daniel always treats Lily coldly. So he actually likes Lily?”
Justin is feeling a headache, “Louis you first announced your wedding with Miss Stella in next month. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
And now Daniel is going to marry Miss Lily. It’s so messed up.”
With that, he looks at Louis with a meaningful expression, “Louis, you know that Daniel is still in love
with Miss Stella, right? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to become enemies because of
women?”
Louis explains with a cold voice, “Stella wants to get six points of Long Peace Group’s share from
President Scott, so she came to me for cooperation. As soon as she gets the share, we will hold a
press conference and clarify our relationship.”
“Louis never takes love seriously. He can even use Miss Lily. Why would he help Miss Stella at the cost
of his own reputation?” Leigh desires to stir up trouble, “Louis, did you fall in love with Miss Stella?”
At this moment, the door is opened. Daniel walks in with his long legs. He probably heard what Leigh
said, but his face stays cold with no expression.
Three men look at him at the same time.
Louis asks the first question, “Daniel, what’s with the news in the morning?”
He knows about Lily and is sure that she takes no interest in men like Daniel. But the news still bothers
him and he has suppressed his feeling for a whole day.
“The last time I met with Lily, my mom saw it.” Daniel doesn’t mention the contract, “She thought I had
a thing for Lily, so she went to talk with her and arranged the journalists as well.”
“Daniel, your mother wants you to marry so bad that she even finds the journalists. Isn’t she too
cunning?” Leigh gets excited, “Is she afraid that you can’t find a wife?”
Hearing what Daniel said, Louis loosens up and says, “Now that it is a misunderstanding, I will have the
PR deal with it.”
“No need.” Daniel rejects, “I will deal with it. You are going to marry Miss Stella next month. I want you
to be free of any scandal.”
“Daniel, my marriage with Miss Stella is just a cooperation.” Louis knows Daniel misunderstood, so he
explains to him again, “She wants to get some share of the Long Peace Group, so she came to me for
help and proposed a fake marriage.”
Fake marriage?
There is nothing going on between them?
Daniel’s eyebrows frown harder, and he can’t speak for a moment.
Louis continues, “Daniel, I don’t want you to misunderstand my relationship with Miss Stella. I only said
yes because of you.”
“Louis, what did Miss Stella promise you?” Justin is a smart man and senses something is missing, “Or
you would have avoided her considering her relationship with Daniel. Let alone cooperation.”
Louis has nothing to hide anymore, “A high-speed railway station is going to be built in the Eastern
District. An open bidding is about to begin.”
“My god. It is a great piece of cake!” Leigh gets more excited and asks curiously, “But I am in the Smith
Group too. Why didn’t you talk about it during meetings?”
Justin smiles lightly, “Because Louis wants to help the cooperation where a miss works.”
“A miss...HZ Group?!” Leigh is so shocked that his pukes the brandy out, “Louis, if you say you don’t
like Miss Lily one more time, I will eat the bottle!”
“Daniel and Louis, they appear to be indifferent, but they are indeed affectionate.” Justin says, “It’s
good that we sit down and straighten everything up today, or...”
Leigh gives a sly smile, “Or it will be so fun!”
Louis doesn’t want to respond to them and looks at Daniel, “Daniel, I have said everything that needs
to be said. But if you ask me to stop, I will stop the cooperation with Miss Stella right away. And the
fake marriage won’t happen.”
Daniel doesn’t respond and just hangs his head staring at the floor.
Ten seconds later, the glass in his hand suddenly breaks up. He says with coldness and hatred, “What
did I do in the last life to owe her so much!”
Why can’t she just walk away and stay away from him?
“Daniel, tell us about you and Miss Stella!” Leigh leans towards Daniel and acts like a loyal confidant,
“Let your buddy help you solve your problems.”
Daniel glances at him and says, “Get away from me!”
“Am I not your cute buddy?”
“Get away!”
Leigh keeps swearing and finally moves back to his seat. At this moment, the door is kicked open by
someone.
It is Jessie who kicks the door open.
After identifying Leigh, she rushes in and smashes her bag on Leigh. She is so angry that her face
turns green. She cries, “Leigh, if you want to break up with me, you can just say it. Do you really have
to be so disgusting?!”
