Chapter 337
The bodyguards and the staff glared at the person before noticing who it was. They were speechless as they looked at their boss.
Conrad used his foot to straighten up the chair that he had kicked and then took a seat. He then knocked on the bar table saying, “Whiskey on the rocks.”
The bartender glanced at the man sitting next to Conrad, poured swhiskey into a glass with ice, and pushed the glass toward him.
Conrad raised the glass, raised his head, and finished it in one gulp.
“Another one!”
After four glasses, the man sitting next to Conrad couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Don’t try to get yourself killed in my bar!”
Conrad stared at Victor and said, “You might be operating a business here but you’re not the boss of me.
Victor pulled off his sunglasses and mockingly stared at him. “What? Your wife just got discharged and you end up here? What did she do to you?”

The bartender looked at Victor.
Victor scoffed and said, “If he wants to drink, let him drink.
“Who cares if he wants to die here!”
Midnight. Fia was tossing and turning and couldn’t get into a deep sleep.
She didn’t know what was happening, but she kept on thinking about that man. Ever since dinner, she had been on high alert trying to listen to any cars returning from outside.
However, she couldn’t hear anything.
She grabbed her phone and looked at the time. She couldn’t help but mumble, “It’s already twelve… Has
he eaten?”
Other than business gatherings or when he met with important clients, he had never eaten with anyone.
She had given Silas a call at eight at night just now to try to find out if he was meeting anyone tonight.
She even sent him a message, reminding him to chearlier to rest so that they could go to the city hall earlier.
As he didn’t cback, she was becoming nervous. She didn’t know if it was because he didn’t come hor because he didn’t return her messages.
Maybe it was something else, or maybe it was nothing.
She kept on feeling something stirring inside of her.
When she remembered what she said to him in the evening, he was obviously angry.
Was he angry at her? And that was why he didn’t chto eat dinner? Why hadn’t he come hwhen it’s already so late?
After giving it sthought, she was still hesitating on whether to call Silas again when a call cin.
It was an unknown number.
“Hello?”
“Is this Mr. Maxwell’s wife?”
Fia blinked and asked in full alert. “Who is this?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Maxwell is drunk in our bar. Can you please chere to pick him up?”
Fia looked at the window that was half covered by the curtains. It was so dark outside. The reason that he didn’t cback was because he got drunk outside!
“Can you sendyour location? Thanks!” She hung up angrily first.
“What did she say?”
The bartender shrugged and then said to his own boss, “Toldto send her our location. She sounded
quite upset.
Victor raised his eyebrow and said, “Well, that’s normal. His wife just had a miscarriage but he came out to get drunk instead and she needs to pick him up. Why wouldn’t she be upset?”
When he looked at how his cousin’s wife was getting upset at him, he felt much better.
He sneered at Conrad who was completely drunk as he lay on the bar table with his face red.
He patted his shoulder and said, “I never thought you’d have a day like this too.
“Why am I so happy when I look at how confused and disappointed you are?”
“Go away!” Conrad may be drunk, but he could still hear. He got angry just listening to Victor’s voice as he yapped like sbird!
“Ho! You have quite the temper!”
‘Let’s see if you can maintain that temper when your wife’s here,‘ Victor thought to himself.
