Chapter 290 Her Rebound Guy
Damien nodded and called Lennonâs number. âWant to meet up for a drink tonight?â
Lennon replied immediately, âWhere?â
âA bar.â
âWhy did you ask to meet in such a rundown place?â
Lennon sat in a booth seat on the second floor. He frowned unhappily. âItâs smoky and depressing.â
They were at a small bar. Everything, from its facilities to the decorations, looked worn and
outdated.
Moreover, the stench of cigarettes hung in the air.
Lennon directed his annoyance at Damien and Cherise in the opposite seat. âWhy did you two ask to
meet in such a lousy place?â
âDamien, itâs not like you donât have money. Didnât you net tens of millions from your uncle recently?â
âWhy make me come to this kind of place to drink?â
Lennon had a privileged upbringing. Even though he was later kicked out of the Belcourt family, he had
never stepped foot into such a rundown place.
He felt defiled with every breath he took.
Damien smiled calmly. âCherise wanted to come here.â
Cherise rolled her eyes at him.
How dare he dump the blame on me?
Heâs the one who dragged me here when he found out that Lucy and Rodney would meet Rodneyâs
friends
here.
How could he now say that I wanted to come here?
Iâm not interested in watching Lucy and Rodney.
Besides, Lennon doesnât deserve Lucy.
Although Rodney is ugly, heâs at least considerate and gentle with Lucy.
Narrowing his eyes, Lennon pursed his lips. âDonât try to fool me. A prim and proper girl like her

would never suggest to go to a bar.â
He finished a glass of beer and continued, âTell me, whatâs with this bar?â
âAre you planning to buy it, or are you planning to repurpose it for other things?â
A wave of rowdy male voices sounded at this moment.
âSheâs incredible! Drink up!â
âRodney, your girlfriend is amazing! Sheâs going to outdrink the rest of us!â
âSheâs still standing even after so many glasses! Iâm impressed!â
The men kept cheering rowdily.
Lennon put down his glass in annoyance. âThis place is too noisy.â
He glanced at the lower floor without thinking.
A young woman in a white cropped top and ripped jeans immediately caught his eye. She stood. on a
coffee table in the middle of a U-shaped couch, tilting her head back while holding a bottle to her lips.
She gulped the beer until the bottle was empty.
Lennon would have sneered and regarded her with disdain if it was any other woman.
However, his heart clenched as his gaze landed on Lucyâs doll-like face.
Sheâ¦
Why is sheâ¦
âLucy is here with her boyfriend.â
Damien calmly poured a glass of lemon-infused water. âCherise was worried about Lucy coming to
such a place. Thatâs why she insisted on coming here. She did not want someone to take advantage of
Lucy.â
Then, he gave the glass of lemon water to Cherise. âHowever, Iâm beginning to feel tired. I donât want to
keep watching her.â
His voice carried a playful tone, âSoâ¦â
He looked at Lennon. âCan I leave this task to you?â
Lennon frowned and stared at Lucy. He did not look away even for a second.
She stood amid a group of men, drinking one glass of beer after another.
Lucy walked away from the table and entered the bathroom.

The group of men began to laugh.
âRodney, your girlfriend is gorgeous.â
âBut donât let down your guard yet. She might be using you as a rebound.â
