Chapter 324



Even so, giving up now left a bitter taste in Debra’s mouth. Taking a deep breath, she straightened up and resolved to try one last time to get close to Belinda.

“I’ll give it another shot,” she said.

But Belinda wasn’t having it.

“Belinda, listen to me! Just calm down—”

Belinda threw Debra to the floor again.

“Belinda! It’s me, Debra. You are too drunk now. Let me—”

Debra failed again.

Two failed attempts later, Debra finally admitted defeat. With a trembling hand, she pulled out her phone and called Darren.

Debra was barely holding herself together. Her entire body ached, and she did not dare approach Belinda again.

Belinda, on the other hand, seemed to have boundless energy, singing karaoke at the top of her lungs and occasionally breaking into dance.

As soon as Darren arrived and entered the room, Debra rushed to him, her face a mix of relief and exhaustion.

“Darren! Thank God you’re here!” she exclaimed.

Darren’s eyes landed on Belinda, who was barefoot on the sofa, belting out lyrics like she was at a concert. His expression shifted, his lips twitching as he suppressed a sigh.

“What happened?” he asked in a low voice.

Debra launched into her explanation, gesturing emphatically. “Belinda got drunk. Percy and I tried to take her home, but she was completely out of control! Every time we got near her, she threw us over her shoulder! We didn’t know what else to do, so we called you.”

Darren raised an eyebrow and waved them off. “I’ll take care of it. You two can head home now.”

Debra and Percy didn’t need to be told twice. They exited the room quickly, leaving Darren alone with the chaos.

Darren approached Belinda cautiously. “Belinda, it’s me, Darren. I’m here to take you home.”

Belinda turned to him, her eyes narrowing. “Who do you think you are? Pretending to be Darren? Watch this!”

Before Darren could respond, Belinda launched into a flying kick. Instinctively, Darren raised his arm to block the blow.

Belinda’s foot slammed into Darren’s forearm with surprising force, sending him stumbling back a few steps.

Darren was shocked, staring at Belinda in disbelief.

Over the years Darren had known Belinda, he had seen her drunk a few times. While she often acted out in her drunken stupors, she had never been violent before.

But now…

The kick Belinda had just landed on him was no joke—it was full force. Even now, his arm still felt numb.
