Chapter 1119

Warren looked at Ryan coldly.

Ryan could feel a chill running down his spine and quickly said, “Well… We happened to meet Ms.

Haab having dinner here today, so we thought of asking her to come over and eat together. After knowing she’s your friend, we asked her to invite you too.”

Alicia also hurriedly chimed in, “Mr. York, I’m Amelia’s friend, and I helped her a lot in the past. I reunited with her by chance this time, so I took her over for dinner. Because I wanted to make it livelier, I asked her to invite you too. I didn’t expect you to agree and show up. Come, Mr. York. Please have a seat.”

Alicia pulled out a chair beside Amelia while saying that.

Warren did not sit down. Instead, he said, “Who just said that if Amelia was asked to drink, she would have to agree? And even if I came, I wouldn’t speak up for her? I can’t hear it properly outside, but I wonder if I’ve left out something other than those messages.”

Jasper looked embarrassed. He hurriedly stood up and smiled, “It’s a misunderstanding. I just want to liven up the atmosphere by making a toast with Ms. Haab.”

“Toast?” Warren sneered as he added, “Amelia is pregnant and can’t drink now. As for me, I’m injured.

The doctor told me not to drink recently. I’ll let my subordinate drink for me. How about that?”

Then, Warren cast a glance at the bodyguard standing next to him. The man immediately came forward, poured wine into an empty glass, and drank it up.

“Well, I’ve accepted your toast. Now, I should also pay a toast to you.” Warren then turned to his subordinates and indifferently ordered, “Let him have more so that I won’t look petty. All the drinks today are on me!”

“Yes!” The bodyguard received the order and came directly to Jasper with a bottle of wine.

Jasper suddenly became a little uncasy, “Warren, what do you want to dor “What am I doing? Having a toast with you, of course,” Warren replied coldly. Then, one of the bodyguards stuffed the mouth of the bottle into Jasper’s mouth, forcing him to drink. Soon, the wine had spread all over his face, and even his neckline clothes were wet.

Ryan and the other two men exchanged glances with shock in their eyes. No one expected that Warren did not even bother to put on an act but directly made a rough move instead.

“M-Mr. York, You don’t have to do such an extent. It’s just a misunderstanding. We only want to treat you with a drink. Moreover, Mr. Yustone had heard that York Group seemingly wanted to try on some projects in Strico recently, so I thought about having a meal with you to have a peaceful discussion. Mr.

Yustone also has many connections with both sides of the law in Strico. If you guys can cooperate, won’t it benefit both of you?” Ryan suggested.

“There are way too many people wanting to cooperate with the York family in Strico, but it seems you’re the first who dares to lure me here using such a method. I’ll put my stance today. If this kind of thing happens again, whoever dares to force Amelia to make me show up again, they’re equivalent to being my enemy!” Warren warned.

His overbearing words shocked Ryan and the others.

Meanwhile, Alicia looked at Amelia with jealousy.

She mused, ‘Warren is much better than Ryan. His handsome appearance, with his lean and tall figure, gave off a mature man’s charm, unlike Ryan, a fat middle-aged man with a beer belly. How could I possibly be with him if it hadn’t been for money?

Moreover, Warren’s protection of Amelia at this time would even make people have the illusion that she’s his treasure.

Treasure? Goodness gracious, what was I thinking?’ Alicia then mocked herself in her heart.

She dispelled her thought as she said inwardly, “If Warren truly cared about Amelia, he wouldn’t let her live her life in a concession stand while pregnant”

After a while, Jasper finally drank up the whole bottle of wine under Warren’s bodyguard force. Warren turned around and looked at Amelia, then he said. “Tll take you home.”

“All right,” Amelia responded. She knew that such actions of Warren were to help her establish her standing. At the same time, he was also hinting at other people who wanted to have designs on her, telling them to sto playing tricks in the future.

She looked at Jasper’s messy look without any sympathy. After all, if she hadn’t called Warren a while ago, Jasper would probably hurt her.

Moreover, Jasper’s look at that moment could also give Alicia a warning.

Although Alicia once helped her, Amelia did not like being used like that. What Alicia did that day made her feel disgusted.

Just as Amelia and Warren were about to leave, Jasper, who was in a mess, rushed toward Amelia in anger. In his view, everything that happened that day was because of her, causing him to be humiliated in front of others. Naturally, he would not let her go.

However, before his hand could touch Amelia, Warren had already punched him to the ground. Then Warren’s bodyguard came up and quickly pinned down Jasper.

“Teach him a lesson and let him know who he shouldn’t lay a hand on,” Warren ordered his bodyguard while exiting the private room with Amelia.

The others in the private room looked at Jasper, who was pinned to the ground, and their face turned pale. Ryan’s hands on his sides were trembling mildly.

He thought he could associate himself with Warren that day. However, it turned out to be revenge instead of friendship.

Moreover, Ryan not only forged enemies with Warren but also might anger Jasper. He only felt that he was put in a difficult position.

Alicia was the only one he could vent his anger on.

After Warren’s bodyguard taught Jasper a lesson and left, Ryan slapped Alicia in the face. She stumbled backward and almost hit the wall at the side Alicis fell a burning pain on her face, but she dared not say anything. All she felt at the moment was aggrieved.

She coulded inwardly. I had helped Amelia in prison back then. In the end she did such a thing to repay me What a heartless and ungratefd person I will not let her go easily!

Meanwhile, Amelia and Warren walked to the entrance of the restaurant.

He said, “You haven’t eaten anything yet, have you? Why don’t we find a place nearby to eat something? Then I’ll send you back home.”

Then he seemed to think of something and added, “I can let the driver send you home without me getting in the car. And-”
