Chapter 477: 477 Sabotage in the Wine_1

When Anna Harris uttered these words, the moods of those present were vastly different.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Quella Radcliffe was shocked, feeling that things couldn’t be so simple.

Anna Harris gritted her teeth, deciding to observe Houston Green for a while for her best friend’s sake.

If he had truly changed, then having him as a boyfriend wouldn’t matter.

If Houston Green was still the same playboy as before, she could simply leave.

After all, there was nothing to lose.

Dimitri Leopold and Osby Michael, however, were secretly thrilled; the fish had taken the bait.

As the greatest beneficiary, Houston Green, upon achieving his goal, suppressed his joy and declined with a serious face, “Anna, I do like you, but you don’t have to humble yourself like this.”

This righteous attitude warmed Anna Harris’s heart as expected.

She looked straight at Houston Green, suddenly feeling less averse to him.

“It’s okay, I’m not getting any younger, and if you really are a decent man, then entrusting myself to you isn’t an issue!”

In her most vulnerable moment, Houston Green successfully cracked open a sliver in Anna Harris’s heart.

How could the naive Anna Harris be a match for a seasoned player in the game of love?

“That…”

Dimitri Leopold scratched his head, speaking awkwardly, “Sister-in-law, you’re making this difficult for us!”

“Exactly! We’re talking about millions here; it’s not like we’re made of money!”

Osby Michael also muttered in slight discontent.

Clearly, there was some complaint, but his attitude was no longer as forceful as before.

Meaning there was room for negotiation!

“I can’t give you twenty million, but I can offer three million as a token of my appreciation for the tea money,” Miss Radcliffe chimed in, smiling slightly, “My company is also facing a cash crunch at the moment. The bank loan has just been disbursed, and our working capital is tight. A million each may not be much, but it’s still a gesture of goodwill from me.”

Anna Harris had secured this opportunity for her, and Quella Radcliffe couldn’t let it slip away no matter what.

She had intended to stop Anna Harris. Although her business was important, it couldn’t compare to the importance of her best friend.

But then Anna Harris gave her a light kick, and Quella Radcliffe immediately understood the message.

This best friend, usually so carefree, took matters of the heart very seriously.

She wouldn’t let Houston Green take advantage of her so easily.

“As for the money… Let’s talk about that later. Since my brother has found a girlfriend, we have to celebrate! And to meet such a beautiful lady as Miss Radcliffe today, I’m quite happy too!”

Dimitri Leopold’s eyes turned, and he waved to a waiter, “Serve the dishes! Bring the wine!”

“Sir, please place your order.”

The waiter immediately brought over the menu and respectfully presented it to Dimitri Leopold.

“Pick from the signature dishes, but the wine must be the very best!”

Dimitri Leopold instructed, and Osby Michael immediately stood up and followed the waiter out.

“I’m going to smoke.”

He mentioned casually, stepping out of the Azure Dragon Hall.

“Miss Radcliffe, no matter what, you’ll have to drink a few glasses with us today.”

Dimitri Leopold looked at Quella Radcliffe with a smile, starting to calculate in his mind which posture he should adopt later.

“You’re too kind. Although I’m not very good with alcohol, I’m still very grateful that Mr. Leopold is willing to help out,” Miss Radcliffe nodded. A little drinking shouldn’t be a problem.

This was the Azure Dragon Hall, Aron Jackson’s territory, after all.

Outside, as the waiter carrying the wine approached the door of the Azure Dragon Hall, Osby Michael stopped him.

“Sir…”

“Take these inside first, and give me the wine!” Osby Michael interrupted, snatching the red wine, and said impatiently, “Hurry up!”

“Yes!”

Facing the customers of the Azure Dragon Hall, the waitstaff dared not show any disrespect, and promptly carried the desserts and some other dishes into the hall.

“Hehe! Little lady, let’s see if you’ll obey later!”

After everyone had entered, Osby Michael took out a small bottle from his pocket, gently opened it, and poured the green liquid inside into the wine.

This was a potent sedative, also a popular little bottle within the Enlighten Group.

Every year, many girls enter their circle, but not every girl is blinded by greed, willing to exchange their bodies for career advancement.

So they used this method to drug the girls, take them to bed, and then take photos to blackmail these inexperienced young ladies.

Which is why Osby Michael always carried this little bottle with him.

Today, it came in handy.

“I’m back!”

After shaking the drug into the wine, Osby Michael pushed open the door to the Azure Dragon Hall and entered the hall.

“Calvin, you took forever to smoke!”

Dimitri Leopold waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to sit down, “How could you make the beauty wait for us? You’re not being gentlemanly at all!”

“Right! Hurry up and drink a penalty cup!”

Houston Green also chimed in, egging him on.

“Alright, alright, alright!”

Osby Michael chuckled, “Mr. Henry Green, you’re not being fair, man! You just got a girlfriend, and you’re already turning your back on us, completely forgetful in the face of beauty!”

After saying that, he picked up the bottle of red wine from the table, ready to pour it into his glass.

Just then, the lead waiter in the Azure Dragon Hall received a message through his earpiece from the main desk.

“There’s something wrong with the wine in the glasses, switch them out quietly!”

Although no one was around when Osby Michael added the drug to the wine,

the entire establishment was surrounded by surveillance.

This was Aron Jackson’s lair!

The place where he stands and makes his mark!

Anyone, anywhere, wouldn’t be able to escape the notice of these electronic eyes with the slightest stir.

“We can’t detect what the substance is, but it’s definitely not normal.”

Inside the surveillance room, there were a whopping fifty people!

Almost each one of them was watching a separate camera.

“After receiving the message, please switch the drinks immediately!”

In the surveillance room, a man in black took out a walkie-talkie, commanding remotely.

And the lead waiter, upon receiving the message, smoothly took out two glasses within the Azure Dragon Hall, hiding them as if performing a magic trick.

“Sir, please allow me to serve you!”

After opening a new bottle of red wine from the cabinet and filling the glasses, she quickly approached the group, smiling and bowing.

There was an abundance of red wine in the Azure Dragon Hall, almost the entire cabinet was full of bottles.

Opening one carelessly wouldn’t be noticed by anyone.

“You see how well spent our money is, with such impeccable service!”

Laughing at what awaited them, Osby Michael handed the wine to the waitress, “Come on! If I’m pleased later, I’ll give you a nice tip!”

“Thank you, I hope you all enjoy yourselves!”

After pouring the wine, this waitress instantly switched the glasses of Quella Radcliffe and Anna Harris.

The swap was so quick, no one noticed a thing.

All these waitstaff were capable people under Aron Jackson, each with their own unique skills.

To them, such a small task was practically routine.

“You all can leave now! Don’t let anyone in without my call!”

Osby Michael gestured with his hand, “We’re going to have a good drink, off you go!”

“Yes!”

The dozen or so waitstaff bowed and swiftly left the Azure Dragon Hall.
