Chapter 139
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Domenic gave him a frosty look.
âMind your own business.
Donât ask what you shouldnât, and keep quiet about what you shouldnât mention.
â
Arturo chuckled and remarked, âI get it.
If Mr.
Jordan Walsh were to find you have a woman outside⦠the consequences would be unimaginable.
But no worries, Iâll make sure to keep your secret safe!
What do you say, Mercer?â
He gave Mercerâs arm a light tap, and Mercer quickly agreed, âSure thing, I wonât say a word once we step out that door!â
Domenic took another drag of his cigarette, his expression enigmatic amidst the swirling smoke.
Meanwhile, in a more modest room on the second floorâ¦
Sumner was enjoying drinks and a game of dice with his friends.
Having recently returned from abroad, a group of his local friends had decided to throw a welcome party in his honor.
Luck was not on his side.
He cons
istently lost at the dice game and nearly drained the wine bottle.
He couldnât hold on any longer.
They persuaded him to engage in another round of Truth or Dare.
The stakes were high; the loser had to fulfill a request from the winner.
As the cup was unveiled, Sumner slumped onto the sofa in disappointment.
Once again, he had suffered defeat!
âSumner, this is a Dare.
Thereâs no way out of it.
â A fellow pulled Sumner up from the couch.
âI wonât back down.
Tell me, what do you want me to do?â
The man grinned mischievously.
âStrip off that shirt and go for a run outside!â
Another guy observed the amusement and added, âThatâs too easy.
Letâs up the challenge! Step out naked and find a girl and ki*s her!â
âHaha! Thatâs hilarious! Itâs so thrilling!â
His words sparked a lively reaction from the people in the private room, instantly igniting the atmosphere.
These young men were heirs to wealthy families, known for their wild antics and indifference to consequences, confident that their wealth could deal with any issues.
âYouâ¦â Sumner, pointing at his mischievous friends, was left speechless.
âThis is outrageous! Streaking is one thing, but ki*sing a girl? Thatâs a whole other level!â
âSumner, admit defeat! Or perhaps you lack confidence in your allure and fear that no girl would want to ki*s you?â
His words kindled Sumnerâs competitive spirit.
Sumner had always been the center of attention, whether at home or abroad.
Girls would Line up to be his girlfriend.
There were always people who instantly fell head over heels for him, and love letters poured in without end.
Yet he remained steadfast in his principles, understanding his preferences.
He wouldnât casually engage with individuals like playboys and rarely into relationships.
Eventually, he crossed paths with Lindsey online, and it was as if he had become infatuated with her; he lost interest in all other girls.
