Chapter 248
Joey felt extremely embarrassed.
Didn't he say he wasn't coming to Violette's birthday party?
Why was he suddenly here?
Brandon and Joey marched up to Elijah, asking what was going on.
Elijah, without changing his expression or showing any guilt, lied, "I just happened to be passing by and
came up to take a look."
"Heh, I thought you were too scared to come!" Mike walked over, pulling Elijah towards the people who
were drinking, "Today, we're all gathered here to celebrate Violette's birthday, so first, no swearing, and
second, no fighting. Having fun is the most important thing!"
Saying this, Mike grabbed an empty glass and placed it in front of Elijah.
Then he picked up a bottle, filling the glass!
Drinking before dinner time, really?
Violette saw Mike leading a group of people, including the company managers, staring at Elijah like
hungry wolves.
She instantly saw through their plan.
She took a step forward, intending to stop them, but
Odette held her back.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Don't worry about them!" Odette dragged her towards the drinks area, "Did you forget how Elijah
bullied you a few days ago? I told Ramsey not to help him, so you shouldn't either."
Violette's cheeks flushed slightly, "But dinner hasn't started yet..."
"I'll go check on the kitchen, and if the food is ready, I'll ask them to serve it."
"Okay."
Soon, the waiters started serving dishes.
Odette pulled Violette to sit down.
"Violette, this dress definitely isn't something you bought yourself, right? You look so good in it! So
sexy!"
Violette's cheeks turned a bit warm, and she said awkwardly, "Mike picked it out."
"I knew it was him. I have to invite him to go shopping with me next time. He has a great taste for
clothes." Odette decided to become besties with Mike.
"He's especially good at shopping, and has great stamina." Violette's feet still hurt from shopping the
day before yesterday.
But Mike wasn't affected at all.
"Violette, I think you should tell Mike that Elijah has a pretty average alcohol tolerance." Ramsey was
sitting at their table, but his heart was with Elijah.
Odette glared at him, "Didn't you say you were on our side?"
"Of course I am, but what if something happens to him from drinking too much?" Ramsey glanced at
the next table, "They've already finished a bottle! And it's only been half an hour!"
Violette suddenly stood up, determined to go and stop them.
"Violette, Elijah isn't alone, there's also Joey and Brandon, right? Don't worry, they'll take care of him."
Odette held her hand and pushed her back into her seat, "He has a girlfriend now, it's not your place to
worry about him. Just leave him alone."
These words made Violette suddenly calm down.
At the next table, Joey and Brandon took turns blocking drinks for Elijah, s
o Elijah didn't drink much.
Mike had a brilliant idea, pulling Joey away, "Come on! Let’s have a drink!"
Joey took his glass and followed him.
As soon as they left, the atmosphere at the drink table cooled down a bit.
After all, Mike was the group leader of the Defeat Elijah plan.
Without him, the others didn't have the same momentum.
Who was Elijah? The big boss of the Bourne Group.
None of the managers present were sure if they could work at the Dennis Group for their whole lives,
so no one dared to offend Elijah.
"Come on, drink!" Brandon laughed, raising his glass to lighten the mood.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
Violette saw that Mike was gone, and the atmosphere had returned to normal, so she relaxed.
She picked up her fork and began to eat.
"Violette, did you see the gift I gave you? Do you like it?" Odette chatted with her casually.
Violette laughed, "I love it! But, why do you have so many embarrassing photos of me?"
Odette had given Violette a photo album.
