Chapter 279:

Dane’s assistant immediately poured the liquor into the middle-aged man’s mouth. The middle-aged man had no way to resist. Since the liquor filled his mouth, he had no choice but to swallow it. His face started to gradually turn red.

Susan watched this scene, feeling the entire world was absurd. A few seconds ago, this middle-aged man had asked her to pour him a drink. Never did she think he would become so miserable like this now.

After drinking four bottles in a row, the man could no longer swallow even a drop of the liquor. He couldn’t even say a complete sentence coherently. It was as if he was about to collapse the next second.

Susan could no longer stand watching it. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “That’s enough.”

Dane raised his hand, and the assistant immediately stopped. He said in an icy voice, “If I see you bully her again, it won’t only be drinking next time.”

After saying this, Dane took Susan’s hand and pulled her out of the room.

The middle-aged man fell to the floor, curling up in pain. Since he had severe stomach pain, he was rushed to the hospital immediately.

Susan and Dane walked toward the exit of the hotel. The cold night wind blew from the outside, making Susan shiver a little. But it made her feel much clearer-headed. She looked at Dane, feeling he was near yet so far.

“Is this how the man you want to marry treats you?” Dane suddenly asked. He sounded a little sarcastic, but not as cold as before. However, his eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

Susan lowered her head and pursed her lips. She knew her fiancé was despicable, making her do nasty things. But she could not resist. In the eyes of outsiders, she must seem very cowardly.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

After being silent for a while, she raised her head, looked at Dane, and said, “Thank you for your help today. I’m leaving now.” Susan turned around to leave.

Dane’s eyes narrowed. He stepped in front of her to block her way. “Susan, how can you treat me like this?”

His question was like a sharp knife that pierced Susan’s heart. But she endured the pain. “We are from two different worlds, so it’s better for us to keep our distance from each other.”

“Two different worlds? Do you think we are characters in the novels you read? We live on the same land now. We’re stepping on the same ground at this moment,” Dane snapped angrily. “You would rather ruin yourself like this than accept my help?”

Susan couldn’t find a word to retort. Dane stared at her, suddenly feeling helpless. He added in a voice filled with disappointment, “Susan, I really didn’t expect you to be like this. If I had known from the beginning, I would never have approached you.”

When Susan heard this, she raised her head in surprise.

Dane’s handsome and sexy face was as delicate as ever. But at this moment, she could see it was shrouded by sadness. It looked so distressing under the dim night.

She said in confusion, “What are you talking about? It was an accident…”

Susan’s brows furrowed tightly.

Dane interrupted, “I’ll give you one last chance. Will you come with me and let me protect you, or continue to be with your fiancé?”

“I’m sorry. I can’t go with you,” Susan said without hesitation.

Dane was so angry that his heart ached. He felt like his chest would explode at any moment. He said through clenched teeth, “Susan!”

However, Susan left without looking back.

Dane didn’t chase her anymore. He could only watch her back, clutching his chest. He felt very uncomfortable.

Dane’s assistant felt sorry for his boss. He didn’t want to see Dane like this. Also, he thought Susan was too ungrateful. “Boss, let’s go back. You have done enough. If she doesn’t want to come with you, no one can force her.”

“I don’t need your opinion. Mind your own business,” Dane said coldly, glaring at his assistant.

The assistant pressed his lips into a thin line to shut up. His intentions were good. But unfortunately, his kindness was disregarded.

Susan went to a bar to work. She now worked several jobs in a day.

She had to work extra hard to raise money for her grandfather’s surgery and to cut all ties with the Riggs family. Meanwhile, Onyx didn’t return to the private room. His purpose in bringing Susan here today was to offer her to the middle-aged man.

He waited for a long time until he finally received a call from the middle-aged man. He answered his phone excitedly. “Mr. Happer, our cooperation…”

“Onyx, you bastard! You are dead meat! HOW dare you frame me!” Cormac Happer’s furious voice came from the other end of the line, startling Onyx. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“You ask what’s wrong? You idiot! You don’t know whose woman Susan is?” Cormac felt extremely uncomfortable after the gastric lavage. He swore not to let Onyx go.
