The crowd gasped in astonishment, and the woman let out a frightened scream as she quickly moved aside.

“Bitch, how dare you splash me in the face? Do you know who I am?” Dylan angrily wiped his face and cursed.
“I don’t care who you are. You drugged a woman and tried to force her to drink it. You’re worse than a dog.” Alyssa casually flicked her hair, her eyes filled with seduction.
Dylan was furious, and his rage was reaching its boiling point. How dare this woman insult him?
If it weren’t for the crowd around them, he would have rushed forward and slapped this despicable woman!
At that moment, two bodyguards from the Gardner family caught up. Dylan immediately signaled them to take her away.
She needed a good beating, and Dylan wanted Alyssa to learn her lesson on the bed.
The two burly bodyguards lunged at Alyssa. Even though she was tipsy, her muscle memory allowed her to swiftly dodge their attacks, causing the two bodyguards to stumble.
“Too slow.” Alyssa yawned.
Capture her!” Dylan shouted angrily as he wiped his face.
One of the bodyguards crawled up and reached out to grab Alyssa’s shoulder.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a tall figure appeared in front of her and firmly grasped the bodyguard’s arm before swiftly flipping him over.
Instantly, the six–foot–tall man was brought down to the ground!
“Impressive skills!” Alyssa blinked, hiccuped, and swayed with her limp body tilting backward.
Suddenly, a powerful grip supported her slender waist. She felt the man’s deep breath brushing against her cheek. It was hot and ticklish.
“Uh… Who are you? Don’t touch me!” Alyssa struggled.
“Allison, open your eyes and look at who I am.”
The voice sounded familiar. It was cold and magnetic yet seductive.
Alyssa’s heart pounded erratically as she slowly raised her gaze, only to meet Jeremy’s captivating yet heartless gaze.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes.
He stared at her fiery red lips and charming face. If it weren’t for those innocent and pure deer- like eyes, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize her as the Allison he was previously married to for three years.
“Allison Burton, you’ve grown bolder, haven’t you? Now that you have Jonas‘ support, you’re causing trouble everywhere.”
“Yeah, so what? Do you have a problem with that?”
Alyssa raised her head proudly and said in a slightly playful voice, “Whenever I see someone with the surname Gardner, I want to beat them up. Do you have any objections? Even if you do, you can’t stop me!”
Jeremy couldn’t help but exert more force in the hand supporting her waist as if trying to punish her.
“Ouch… It hurts. Let go of me!”
Alyssa stumbled in his embrace. Due to her anger, she felt even drunker, and her voice sounded even softer and more delicate.
What man could resist her like this?
Jeremy’s profound gaze turned a shade darker.
“J–Jeremy?” Dylan exclaimed, his face pale with shock.
“Mr. Gardner, what do you mean by that?”
Jeremy coldly stared at him. “Furthermore, Lia and I haven’t officially gotten married yet.
Do you think it’s appropriate to address me by my first name?”
Dylan was left speechless by the sudden turn of events.
Lia? How disgusting.
Alyssa despised Liana and was equally disgusted with Jeremy’s affectionate way of addressing her After three years of marriage, he had never called her anything other than her full name–
not even just by her first name.
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. She mustered all her strength to break free from Jeremy’s arm. She would rather stand unsteadily and swaying than let this. despicable man touch her.
“Apologize to her,” Jeremy commanded with a tone that brooked no argument.
Though his words were directed at Dylan, his gaze never left Alyssa for a moment.
After all, she was pretty drunk.
“It was this crazy woman who came at me out of nowhere and splashed me in the face with her drink. She even launched a personal attack on me! She should be the one apologizing!” Dylan’s face displayed evident defiance.
“Watch your mouth and show some respect.” Jeremy’s eyes narrowed sharply. “She’s my ex–wife.”
Dylan was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. So this was Jeremy’s secret ex- wife. Honestly, her beauty surpassed that of his sister by a considerable margin.
His superficial and ostentatious sister wouldn’t stand a chance against this absolute beauty if it weren’t for her childhood friendship with Jeremy.
“Mr. Walsh, even if she’s your ex–wife, that doesn’t justify me apologizing to her!” Dylan refused to back down, unwilling to lose face. “If she apologizes first, I’ll pretend this never happened!”
“Your men might have done something to her if I hadn’t arrived on time.” Jeremy’s expression was as cold as ice. “Just because it didn’t happen doesn’t mean you’re not at fault. Apologize.”
Dylan trembled inwardly but maintained his defiant stance.
Alyssa’s face flushed as the effects of the alcohol kicked in.
She only heard something about ex–wife and apology, and she thought, “Does this despicable man expect me to apologize? I might as well twist his head off and use it as a ball!”
“Apologizing is too troublesome. In my opinion, we’ll handle it according to my rules.
Either send him to the police station and let me play the role of a model citizen, or take him outside and give him a good beating to settle the matter.” The handsome Landon approached them with a mischievous smile on his lips. He brought two rows of people with him and exuded an intimidating aura.
“Why should I be the one getting beaten? Is there no rule of law anymore?” Dylan’s voice trembled with fear upon seeing Landon.
Landon beckoned with his finger, and the woman who was almost drugged earlier timidly hid behind him.
“Firstly, in my club, these women are here to serve drinks and dance. They never provide personal services to customers. By forcefully making her drink and harassing her, you’ve violated the rules of my establishment.
“Secondly, I don’t tolerate banned substances or drugs in my place. I despise it more than anything when someone engages in such activities here. I consider it light punishment to break the legs of whoever is involved! From what I see, you should be thanking Ms. Burton here. If she hadn’t stopped you from drugging her, you would’ve already been killed here, Jeremy was shocked. So that was what had happened.
“Haha! Well done, man!” Alyssa’s eyes narrowed into crescents as she gave Landon a thumbs up.
