At 9 pm, the Harper family’s new nightclub, ACE, was bustling with celebrities who were both famous and affluent. After all, who would pass up the chance to show up at Landon Harper’s new club?
The roaring engine of a limited edition Bugatti had women green with envy and men in tears. Silas, who was in the passenger seat, alighted first. He was dressed casually, which was a change from his meticulous and serious image as a prosecutor. He looked every bit handsome while giving off the air of a person of high society.
Alyssa took her brother by his hand and stepped out of the car. She was in a form–fitting silver halter dress that resembled a galaxy under the flashing lights. Her hair was carefully styled and cascaded down her back in waves. Her ears were adorned with a pair of unique diamond tassel earrings that brought out her beauty. The men at the entrance couldn’t keep their eyes off her.
Silas wrapped his arms around his sister in fright. “Jesus Christ, aren’t you a little underdressed tonight?”
“What? Am I not pretty?” She raised a brow seductively.
“Of course, you are! I just don’t want all these men to latch onto you!”
“They can try, but I’ll pull their teeth out if they do. Do you believe me?” She smiled wickedly.
Everyone at the nightclub had their blood pumping with adrenaline from how intoxicating the atmosphere was. Silas didn’t want his sister sitting at the bar and thus ordered a table full of quality wine to stop anyone from approaching.
“I regret coming here with you, Silas. There are so many cute guys around.” Alyssa swirled her wine in her glass and pouted glumly “I just got divorced. You being around deters all my potential suitors!”
“F*** me. Just because you got divorced doesn’t mean your market value dropped. Did you come here just to pick a man you’ll be disgusted by?” Silas sat by her side but couldn’t stop himself from cautioning wandering eyes.
Meanwhile, Jeremy and Landon walked into a relatively quiet private room on the second floor. The former was dressed in an immaculate suit, and the latter shook his head with a click of his tongue upon seeing it. “Are your suits welded onto you or something? You’re out here to have a good time. If I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought you’re here to negotiate a sale.”
“Almost every nightclub in Solana City is going downhill. They lose money annually. Your place isn’t worth my money at all.” Jeremy sat down elegantly.
“Hah, so you think just because everyone else is working at a loss, I’d be the same?”
“This place isn’t working at a loss?”
“It is, but what’s there to fear? I’m so poor all I have left is money. Hahaha!” Landon suddenly fixated on a sight that had him exclaiming out loud, “What a gorgeous woman!
She’s dressed like the queen of the night and moves like a princess!”
Jeremy was never one to spare glances at women. He had no interest at all, which led to Landon forcing him to see for himself. He was fine until what he saw sent blood rushing to his head. “It’s her! Allison! Who’s the man beside her? Jonah… Taylor?” he thought.
“Oh my, who’s sitting next to the beauty? Isn’t that Jonah, the president of Belbanks‘ KS
Group?”
Landon raised an eyebrow mischievously and said teasingly, “Isn’t Jonah known for leading a virtuous life and never setting foot in such a place? Haha, why is he here tonight?”
No wonder Jeremy and Landon couldn’t recognize him.
Alyssa’s brothers were quadruplets. Among them, the eldest, Jonah, and the second eldest, Silas, looked incredibly similar at first glance. It was easy for someone unfamiliar with them to be mistaken.
“Damn it, I’m jealous. Such a beautiful woman should be my lover. What can Jonah give her?” Landon became more and more excited as he spoke.
Downstairs, Alyssa was smiling sweetly at Silas.
Seeing this, Jeremy felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.
Once upon a time, that smile belonged solely to him.
Not to mention the widespread scandals seemed to have no effect on her. This woman had the audacity to seek pleasure and revel amidst it all!
Meanwhile, he spent the entire day consumed by anguish. He was either busy sorting out the mess or contemplating how to explain things to her.
“Well, how about I claim her for myself tonight? She may be Jonah’s woman, but I can’t care less. Even if there’s a goalkeeper, I can still score.” Landon licked his lips as he spoke, his desires becoming evident.
“Don’t even think about it. She’s my wife.”
Landon’s eyes widened in shock.
“My ex–wife,” Jeremy corrected himself in an angry tone.
“What? She’s that unromantic and rigid woman you used to be with? Gosh, are you blind, dumb, or both? This woman is an absolute beauty. She’s way better than Liana, that woman you’re obsessed with!”
Jeremy cast Landon a cold glance, who sheepishly stuck out his tongue. “Well, I was just speaking from the heart. After all, you said she wasn’t anyone worth meeting when I mentioned meeting her. I thought she looked super ugly, but I didn’t expect … Hey, where are you going?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jeremy had already stormed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Alyssa and her second brother had a few rounds of drinks, and her fair cheeks were now red.
“Lyse, are you okay?” Silas asked with concern when he noticed Alyssa was getting tipsy.
“One more round! Let’s roll the dice!” Alyssa had decent alcohol tolerance, but worries filled her mind, which was why the booze was getting to her head faster this time.
Just then, Silas received an urgent phone call from his superior. He apologized to Alyssa, “Lyse, please give me a moment. I have to take this call. I’ll be back very soon.”
She waved her hand gracefully. “Sure thing!”
As soon as Silas left, the men around gradually closed in on Alyssa like sharks sensing blood.
She looked up, her gaze casually sweeping over them as if she were choosing a dish.
This one was too short, that one was too thin, this one had a flat nose, and that one had small eyes.
None of them could compare to her ex–husband.
It was a pity he had a dark heart under that attractive appearance, not to mention he betrayed her love.
At that moment, Alyssa noticed a commotion at a nearby table where several young men were cheering while watching a man pour drinks for a woman.
That man with a disgusting smile happened to be Liana’s brother, Dylan!
To make matters worse, Alyssa spotted one of the rich young men secretly putting something in a drink and passing it to Dylan with her keen eyes.
Instantly, her anger reached its peak. She abruptly stood up and walked toward them.
“Hey! Pretty lady!” The group of men saw Alyssa and were practically drooling.
When Dylan’s gaze fell on this stunning beauty, the woman in his arms suddenly lost her allure.
“It looks like you guys are having fun. Can I join?” Alyssa’s eyes seemed intoxicated, making her appear more seductive.
“Of course, young lady. We’ll do whatever you want,” Dylan said, his gaze filthy as he licked his lips.
Alyssa picked up the drugged drink. “Well then, finish this drink.”
The group fell silent, and Dylan’s face fell.
Everyone knew that the drink was laced with a heavy dose of drugs. Only a fool would drink it!
“You’re not drinking it? Then let me feed it to you!”
Alyssa’s gaze turned fierce as she said that. She lifted her hand and splashed the contents of the glass on Dylan’s face.
