Chapter: 1318
Through her teary, blurred vision, she saw Rosalynn hurrying towards her with a stern expression.
“Deanna, are you alright?” Rosalynn asked, concern evident in her voice.
Rosalynn gently held Deanna’s wrist and discovered a bruise forming on it, a testament to the force of
the bodyguard’s grip.
Deanna met Rosalynn’s gaze with a vacant stare. As she prepared to speak, the bodyguard that
Rosalynn had assaulted seized a bottle, charging forward with a fiery anger.

way, avoiding the charging bodyguard with grace.
His assault unsuccessful, the bodyguard reeled back, preparing to charge again.
Observing his comrade’s attack repelled, the other bodyguard made a decision. Flexing his sinewy
muscles, he was ready to join the skirmish.
Keegan, his brows furrowed, found himself under the pestering attention of Doreen.
“Doreen, please tell your bodyguards to stand down.”
“Well, grant me a kiss, and they’ll retreat.”
Drawing Keegan closer with a coy arm draped around his neck, Doreen attempted to plant a kiss on
him.
With swift reflexes, Keegan darted away. Spotting a passing waiter carrying a tray of wine, he snatched
a glass and promptly splashed its cold contents onto Doreen’s face.
A piercing scream slipped from Doreen’s lips as she felt the icy sting. Her grip loosened instantly.
“Keegan, how dare you?”
“Is this the splash of sobriety you needed?”

Wine-stained and furious, Doreen scrambled to mop up the wine on her face.
Meanwhile, Rosalynn managed to subdue the two bodyguards.
Deanna, caught off guard by the display, watched as Rosalynn approached her. “Awesome!”
She looked at Rosalynn in awe.
Rosalynn, bemused by the admiration in Deanna’s eyes, found her sister-in-law to be more endearing
in her inebriated state.
“We should go, I’ll drive you home,” Rosalynn offered, supporting the unsteady Deanna.
