Chapter 296
When the manager heard this, he looked awkward, but managed to keep his smile and said, “Chase,
I’ll call again to hurry her up. Please wait a moment…” After he turned around and left, the smile on his
face gradually turned into worry.
Ever since the place changed hands, very few people dared to cause trouble here, but he didn’t expect
to encounter a group of wealthy and powerful people today
He had arranged for many people to serve them, originally thinking that business would boom tonight,
but he didn’t expect they were here to make
trouble.
Just when the manager was feeling down, he saw Hailey in her backless black gown walking towards
him.
“Boss, you’re finally here. They said if you don’t show up, they’re going to shut down our place! The

“Don’t worry” Hailey said.
Hailey wasn’t nervous at all. She simply said two words and then quickly walked towards the VIP room.
When she pushed the door open and saw the man sitting in the dark corner, Hailey’s face slightly
changed.
She thought it was just a group of bored rich people causing trouble, but it turned out to be Cedric?
Hailey found it strange. In the past, in order to do business, she had specifically invited him to come
here, but he refused the offer, saying the place was too tacky for his status.
But now he showed up with a group of rich kids, even specifically asked for her, what was he up to?
Hailey’s face stiffened for a few seconds, but she quickly put on a smile and walked towards them.
“Sorry, everyone, I was late.” Hailey apologized.
After saying that, Hailey picked up the glass on the table and said generously, “I’ll drink three shots as
a punishment, please cool down.”
Just as she was about to drink, Chase stopped her, “Hailey, we’ve been waiting for you for an hour, are
three shots enough?”
Hailey kept her smile, “How many do you think I should drink?”
Hailey and Chase knew each other. She had met him once when she was out with Cedric. Back then,
everyone else mocked her for being divorced, but Chase didn’t. So she had a pretty good impression of
him. She didn’t expect him to join others in giving her a hard time after she broke up with Cedric
But Hailey was okay with it. She had been through the wringer in this industry for many years and was
used to such situations. No matter what the other party wanted to do, she could handle it.
She maintained her smile and looked at the group of men in the sofa area.
Chase glanced at Cedric who hadn’t spoken anything and said in a deep voice. “Three bottles, Hailey,
can you drink them?”
He glanced at a row of high–alcohol–content bottles on the table, apparently wanting Hailey to drink a
few of them.

Hailey’s face still wore a smile, “Three bottles, not a big deal. But…”
She deliberately paused, her slender finger touched a row of bottles. She picked one, and looked up at
Chase.
“If I drink these three bottles, will Chase continue to give me a hard time?” Hailey asked.
Upon hearing this, Chase raised an eyebrow slightly, “Hailey, it’s not up to me alone to decide whether
to give you a hard time or not.”
In other words, the person who wanted to give her a hard time was Cedric.
So Hailey didn’t haggle anymore, she just picked up the bottle and drank it all at once.
Chase was stunned. He had hinted so clearly, couldn’t this woman understand?
At this moment, if she just sweet talked Cedric a little, the problem could be easily solved, but she
chose to drink instead?
What a fool, Chase sneered and glanced at Cedric in the dark corner again….
