Chapter 40
Gabriel looked at Violet with a seeming smile. “You can’t drink? You can learn. Today will be your first lesson.”
He said meaningfully, “Relax. The brandy bottle has just been opened. There’s nothing wrong with it. As long as you finish all eight glasses of brandy, you can leave. Otherwise, you will never be allowed to leave this
room.”
After Gabriel said this, he let go of Violet’s arm.
Nob*dy was holding her. However, Violet felt that her legs were heavy. She couldn’t walk out at all.
With so many people around her, she was sure that she couldn’t leave the private room if she didn’t drink the brandy.
She took a deep breath and looked at Gabriel seriously. “Mr. Williamson, are you sure that | can leave after | drink all the eight glasses of brandy?”
Gabriel curled his lips. “I never lie!”
Violet's expression changed. “Okay. | believe you.”
Hearing this, Gabriel narrowed his eyes. He had a strange feeling in his
heart.
Violet tensed her face. She made up her mind, walked to the table, took a glass, and gulped the brandy in it.
The people in the private box cheered,
“Wow! Wow! Wow!”
Someone shouted, “Gabriel, she can drink! She was lying to you just now!”
But Gabriel just stared at Violet as she was drinking and said nothing.
After finishing the glass of brandy, Violet took the second glass and continued.
After the second one, she took the third glass. But at that moment, the
door to the private room was kicked open from the outside.
Violet subconsciously turned around.
Then she saw Patrick's handsome face. He looked gloomy and cold as he walked in. The temperature in the room seemed to drop because of him.
Gabriel froze. He smiled playfully as he glanced at Patrick. “Patrick, you came so fast? It seems that Vivi is really important to you.”
Violet's eyebrows jumped. Hearing Gabriel being so mean when talking to Patrick, she could guess Gabriel's identity.
Six years ago, Bright Jewelry of the Williamson family ranked first in the jewelry industry of Summerwood City.
But that year, Foreverie Jewelry, set up by Patrick, appeared. Within only. one year, it surpassed Bright Jewelry in the jewelry industry of
Summerwood City.
From then on, no matter what jewelry competition or event, the Williamson family would compete with Foreverie Jewelry in all jewelry- related activities.
Unfortunately, the William family consistently ranked second.
People in Summerwood City often mocked Bright Jewelry about that.
Gabriel and Patrick were sworn enemies. No wonder Gabriel hated Patrick
so much!
Maybe Gabriel made things difficult for her because he knew that she was a jewelry designer in Patrick’s company.
The bosses were fighting. But she, a regular employee, was suffering.
Violet thought of these things in a few seconds. When she was lost in thought, Patrick grabbed her and stood in front of her to protect her.
Patrick stood there, facing Gabriel. “Gabriel, come at me if there’s anything. Don’t make things difficult for a designer. See what you have done? Are you still a man?”
Gabriel looked at Patrick. He used the tip of his tongue to touch his mouth. “Tsk... You’re mistaken. | just invited Vivi over to have some brandy. | want to be friends with her. You can ask Vivi whether | have made things difficult for her. Tell him, Vivi.”
Violet could feel Gabriel’s gaze. She pursed her lips but didn’t say anything.
Patrick glanced at the table. His eyes went cold. “Drink eight glasses of brandy to make friends with you? Who set this rule?” Moreover, the glasses were big ones that were used to drink beer.
Gabriel smiled playfully and looked at Violet. Then he landed his gaze on Patrick’s face, and the smile disappeared. “I set this rule, of course. What? Mr. Hersey, do you have any opinions on that?”
Patrick didn’t want to waste time arguing with him. “I will take her away. Don’t play any dirty tricks. Or | will show no mercy.” After Patrick said this, he turned around and was about to leave.
Gabriel suddenly raised his voice as he said, “Patrick, you went too far. | only came back from abroad today. Then | heard that you created a great disturbance in Summerwood City. | just invited Vivi in to have some fun. Why are you so serious? Do you want to declare war against me officially?”
Patrick stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Gabriel expressionlessly. He said, “We are already at war. | don’t need to declare war against you again.”
They were already enemies. They didn’t need to maintain a fake harmony.
After Patrick said this, he took Violet away.
Gabriel was so angry that he smashed the brandy on the table to the ground. He cursed Patrick in the private room, “Patrick, you da mn b astard.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Patrick ignored him.
