Chapter 1383 Acting for Her
The sudden proximity made her subconsciously resist. Beryl pulled away but was unable to free herself. She lost her
former imposing manner of stopping Marcellus from drinking and began to appear somewhat timid.
"What are you doing..."
"Little girl, do you know how strong this drink is?" Zane deliberately lowered his voice.
Beryl only saw his lips moving but couldn't hear clearly, she asked subconsciously, "What did you say?"
Seemingly waiting for her to ask this, Zane leaned closer, his lips almost touching her cheek, "I said, this drink is
quite strong. You've gulped down so much; you'll be drunk soon."
The man's hot breath sprayed on her ear, causing Beryl to immediately get goosebumps all over. She tried to lean

Beryl knew she was drunk without him telling her. Not even five minutes had passed since she finished the drink,
her cheeks were already burning and her head was spinning. She believed she would start talking nonsense soon.
But...
Beryl looked at the person sitting motionlessly on the couch. Sensing her gaze, the woman beside him intentionally
leaned against him, rubbing her chest and waist against his chest. He, being rubbed against, did not show any signs
of resistance.
Beryl's eyelashes trembled slightly, watching their intimate display, she was suddenly reminded of the celebrity she
had seen at Marcellus's home.
All the talk of liking and love was a lie, weren't they all just cavorting here every night, with beauty in their arms and
endless revelry?
She had been feeling guilty since last night, and here he was, not even lifting a finger and there were people
throwing themselves at him, how wonderful for him.
Being in her early twenties, she wasn't very good at controlling her emotions. Seeing this, Beryl lost her reason. She
wasn't aware of her feelings for Marcellus; hence she couldn't decipher her current emotions.
She only knew that she was upset, and wanted to make him feel the same.
So, she did something very bold.
Suddenly changing her resisting manner, she raised her hand to hold Zane's that was on her shoulder, turned her
head, and suppressing her disgust, said, "I won't get drunk here, will I?"
Seeing her responding, Zane became more excited. He quickly pulled her toward his seat and whispered greasily in
her ear, "Good girl, I'll teach you how to drink. You won't get drunk."

Beryl gritted her teeth secretly. She was disgusted but continued to cooperate, "Okay."
The two sat not far from Marcellus. All he had to do was to slightly lower his head to see the nearly overlapping
figures.
Drinking with a man, even cuddling?
Marcellus sneered inside, a menacing aura emanating from him. He had underestimated her. After all, someone
who could trade feelings wouldn't find it excessive to act in such a way.
"Aren't you happy, Mr. Perkins?"
A woman's coquettish voice suddenly sounded in his ear. This woman had been bothering him all night. He hadn't
even given her a proper look. It was just because Beryl walked in and he acted out his anger on her.
Marcellus gave the woman a sidelong glance, her meticulously applied makeup making her feel a chill down her
spine.
"Mr. Perkins, did I... Ugh!"
