Chapter 40

Abel looked at her with a faint smile. “If you don’t know how to drink, you can learn. I’ll give you your firstlesson today!”

He continued to speak meaningfully, “Don’t worry, this is the brandy that you saw just now. There’s noproblem with it. As long as you finish these eight glasses of brandy, you can leave. Otherwise, you won’teven be able to leave this door!”

After saying that, Abel let go of Jocelyn’s arm.

No one was pulling her, but Jocelyn felt as if there was a heavy weight on her feet, and she could notwalk out.

She was pretty sure that if she did not drink, she would not be able to rush out of the private room underthe eyes of so many people.

She took a deep breath and looked at Abel seriously. “Mr. Crain, are you sure I can leave after drinking?”

Abel curled his lips. “I never lie!”

Jocelyn’s expression changed. “Alright, I believe you!”

Upon hearing this, Abel’s eyes flickered and a strange feeling flashed across his heart.

Jocelyn had a tense expression on her face as she walked to the table. She picked up a glass of brandyand gulped it down!

The men and women in the private room immediately cheered.

“Ohhhhhhhh.”

Someone shouted, “Abel, she knows how to drink. she was just bluffing you!”

Abel, on the other hand, stared straight at Jocelyn who was drinking and did not say a word.

Jocelyn finished one glass and then the second,

She had just finished her second glass when the door of the private room was kicked open.

Jocelyn automatically turned around.

Then, she saw Skyler’s dark and handsome face. He walked in with a cold expression and thetemperature in the room seemed to have dropped as he entered.

Abel was also stunned. He smiled playfully and looked at Skyler.” Moore the Second, you got here soquickly. It seems that Ms. White’s place in your heart is indeed extraordinary!” Jocelyn’s eyebrowstwitched. Hearing Abel speak to Skyler in such a confrontational manner, she immediately guessed hisidentity.

Six years ago, the Crain family’s jewelry was still the best in Mauve City.

However, six years ago, Skyler’s Prosperity Jewelry appeared out of nowhere In just one year, it hadsuppressed the Crain family’s position in Mauve City’s jewelry industry.

From now on, no matter what jewelry competition or activity there was, the Crain family would have tocompete with Prosperity Jewelry.

It was a pity that he could only be sidelined every time. Every time, he would be number two, and thiswent on for a long time! The people of Mauve City even jokingly called him the number two jeweler. Thetwo of them had always been arch-enemies, It was no wonder Abel hated Skyler so much. Abel probablymade things difficult for her just now because he knew that she was the designer of Skyler’s company.

This was a fight between two godly people. Mortals would suffer! Jocelyn’s thoughts were fleeting. Justas she thought this, Skyler pulled her behind him. Skyler stood opposite Abel. “Abel, come at me if youhave anything to say. What kind of man are you to make things difficult for a designer?!”.

Abel looked at Skyler and nudged him with his tongue. “Tsk, you’re right. I’m just inviting her over for afew drinks to make friends. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. Am I making things difficult for you?”

When Jocelyn saw Abel looking at her, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Skyler glanced at the table and his eyes turned cold. “Whose rule is it to make friends while having todrink eight glasses of brandy?”.

Not to mention, the glass used was a large one that could fill a big bottle.

Abel looked at Jocelyn with a cynical smile. His gaze shifted to Skyler’s face and his smile suddenlydisappeared. “Of course it’s my rule. What’s wrong, Mr. Moore?”

Skyler was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him. “I’m taking her away. Don’t play these tricksbehind my back anymore! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!” After Skyler said that, he turnedto walk out.

Abel suddenly raised his voice. “Moore the Second, you’ve gone overboard. I just returned to the countrytoday and heard that you’ve caused a huge ruckus in Mauve City in the past two days. I only invited Ms.White in for a short while. Do you have to be so unreasonable? Why? Are you trying to challenge medirectly?”

Skyler stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Abel expressionlessly. “Is there a need todeclare war between us?”

Since they were already enemies, there was no need for such tricks!

With that, Skyler left with his men.

Abel was so angry that he flung the wine on the table onto the floor and shouted loudly in the privateroom, “Moore the Second, f*ck you!”

Unfortunately, Skyler did not even look at him.
