NovelEnglishChapter 724 Bang!
After the phone fell to the floor, he kicked the table in front of him as well, and caused it to flip.
The wine glasses shattered all over the ground.
Odell remained sitting in the same spot. The anger roiling in his eyes was even scarier than the mess
on the floor.
Cliff stepped back out of fear. He pressed his lips together, not daring to make a sound.
The man shouted, “Bring more alcohol here!” “Okay!” Cliff replied and ran out hastily.
The dim private room was soon filled with the smell of alcohol.
The man had become so utterly drunk that he did not smash any more phones or flip any tables.
Instead, he was playing with a wood-carved tortoise.
He continuously rubbed it in his hands as if he wanted to crush the tortoise to pieces.
Ding
The untimely ringing of a phone rang out in the air again.
Odell raised his gaze and looked over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCliff was startled and quickly said, “It’s my phone, Young Master Carter. I’ll go out to answer the call
right now.”
Then, he quickly made his way outside. Odell withdrew his gaze and continued fiddling with the
tortoise.
After playing with it for a while, his consciousness began to blur from his extreme state of drunkenness.
He leaned against the sofa and slept.
On the other hand, Cliff had answered the call.
Unexpectedly, the person who had called him was Lily. “Ms. Springsteen, how may I help you?” Cliff
asked politely. Lily asked, “Assistant Bogard, do you know where Young Master Carter is? I don’t know
why he’s not picking up my calls.”
Recalling the phone that Odell had smashed to the ground, Cliff said, “Young Master Carter isn’t at the
company now, and it’s not inconvenient for him to answer any calls now. Do you have any business
with him?”
“I just wanted to greet him. Could you tell me where he is now?”
She was the young miss of the Springsteen family, after all. It would be difficult for Cliff to hide it from
her.
Therefore, he answered honestly, “Young Master Carter is at Lush Heaven now. I’ll relay your greeting
to him when he’s sober.”
The night passed and soon it was morning.
In the dim private room.
The man started to regain his consciousness.
In a blur, he found that he was holding a soft hand in the palm of his hand.
The touch of the hand was the same as that woman.
He was startled.
“Sylvia!”
He shouted. At the same time, he strongly pulled that hand into his embrace.
The woman shrieked.
Odell opened his eyes and saw the woman that he had pulled into his arms.
It was not Sylvia but Lily. He immediately became alert. His gaze changed, and he released his grip on
her. Lily quickly got up and stepped back.

Master Carter?”
Odell sat up and glanced at Cliff, who was standing nearby. “Pour a cup of water for me.”
Cliff replied and walked out.
Only then did Odell look toward Lily. “Ms. Springsteen, when did you come here?”
Lily glanced at the time on her watch. Then, she replied with a tired gaze, “I’ve been here for more than
five hours.”
Odell frowned.
It was the morning of the next day. Had she come at midnight last night? Odell eyed Lily.
Her clothes were neat, and there were no signs of them being torn.
Cliff had been standing guard, so there was no way Odell would have done something rude in his
drunken state.
Odell said, “I’m sorry I startled you just now.” Lily said with a smile, “Young Master Carter had grabbed
my hand and held it for a whole night until I couldn’t even pull it back. You should apologize to me, or
else I’ll
take it to heart.”
She rubbed her left hand as she spoke.
