Chapter 200 Plotted
Kristen nodded with a faint smile. “Since Mr. Ranky has said so, it’s not appropriate for us to decline. Anna, adjust my schedule.”
“Miss Healey, this way, please.”
Mr. Ranky’s face lit up and he hurriedly invited the two of them out.
For some reason, Kristen felt that Mr. Ranky was overly attentive.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Ranky hurriedly led the way.
When he opened the door of the private room, Kristen was surprised to see a group of people sitting inside.
She understood that she had been tricked, but when she saw Mr. Jackson, she had to tolerate it.
“Miss Healey, I didn’t expect you to come. Come and have a seat, please.”
A potbellied middle-aged man was about to drag Kristen to her seat when she dodged his hand and sat down with a smile.
A bald man tried to condemn her. “Miss Healey, you’re late. Shouldn’t you propose a toast to us?”
Kristen raised her glass and toasted Mr. Jackson. “Mr. Jackson, I am your movie fan. Since we meet today, I must propose a toast to you.”
Mr. Jackson pressed the table with one hand and pretended not to hear it.
The big-bellied middle-aged man beside her quickly stood up. “Miss Healey, I’ll drink with you.”
“Since you drink, you should have something different. What about a love shot?” someone jeered.
The middle-aged man smiled and was about to bypass the glass.
Kristen frowned and changed her hand. She smiled and said, “I won’t have love shots with others casually.”
Someone said with disdain, “Miss Healey is working in the entertainment industry. Why do you care about such things?”
Kristen frowned, her eyes filled with disgust.
What did it mean that people in the entertainment industry didn’t care about such things? His words were so harsh. If she hadn’t wanted to get to know Mr. Jackson, she would have thrown the glass at his face now.
Anna hurriedly stepped forward and smiled when she saw this. “Miss Healey, the other side has already been urging us for quite some time.”
Kristen put down her wine glass and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, everyone. I still have work to do. I’ll apologize later.”
As she spoke, she was about to leave when she was stopped.
“Miss Healey, you’re already here. Are you making us lose face by leaving without drinking?”
“Miss Healey, don’t try to fool me with work thing. As long as you finish three glasses of wine, you can leave.”
Kristen furrowed her brows and said, “It’s not appropriate to drink today, maybe next time…”
One of them sneered, “Next time? Since Miss Healey doesn’t care about us, then there’s no need for us to care about you. If you don’t finish the wine today, then don’t even think of leaving.”
“What are you doing? I’m going to call the police.”
Anna picked up her phone and threatened. The group of people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
“Call the police then. When the director of the police station comes, you may have to drink more.”
“Miss Healey, I think it may be better if you can be sensible.”
The big-bellied man handed her the wine. Kristen took a look at it and splashed it onto his face.
“Sir, your poisoning method is really bad.”
She had seen his little tricks just now. How could she be fooled?
“B***h, how dare you.” The middle-aged man flew into a rage and reached out to pull Kristen’s arm.
Kristen kicked him hard in the leg with her high heel. The man screamed and fell to the ground with his legs in his arms.
This group of men only knew how to drink and entertain themselves. Did they think that they could stop her? Did they really think that she was a weak woman?
Anna quickly opened the door. When she saw a circle of bodyguards around the door, she took a step back in shock.
Kristen pursed her lips in embarrassment.
It seemed that she couldn’t beat bodyguards who had received professional training.
Kristen held her phone and secretly sent Dagger an address, hoping to delay until he arrived.
Anna held up her mobile phone and spoke in a deep voice, “I have already informed Mr. Wharton of TNK Group. You are not willing to make the event more serious, aren’t you?”
“TNK Group? Huh, who cares about it.”
One of them sniggered. The big-bellied man, who had been kicked by Kristen, stood up in pain and grabbed Kristen’s hand.
“B***h, don’t even think about leaving today.”
Right at this moment, Mr. Jackson stood up and said. “Mr. Belly, don’t frighten that little girl. It isn’t good to make a big deal. Let them leave so that we can discuss the problem of your daughter’s role.”
“Mr. Jackson you are also in the entertainment industry. You know that all the female stars are toys, don’t you? Is she pretending to be so arrogant because she looks down upon us?”
“Mr. Jackson, it’s none of your business. You’d better think of a role for our Mr. Belly’s daughter.”
It turned out that she was not the only one who had been tricked.
Kristen pulled her hand back and asked with a smile, “What will it take for you to let us go?”
The man took out a bottle of alcohol and said in a deep voice, “Drink this up. Then leave if you can.”
After drinking this bottle of liquor, no one could stand steadily, not mentioning to leave.
Kristen provoked, “Isn’t it too boring for me to drink alone? Why don’t we drink together? Can’t you even win a little girl like me?”
The group of men was aroused, and they agreed successively.
It looked like Kristen had drunk a whole cup of liquor, in fact, she only drank a bit.
Anna’s heart ached as she watched from the side. These bastards! What did they take Kristen for?
Kristen couldn’t drink much. In order to buy time, she could only deal with it.
After a few drinks, she had already felt a little dizzy.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Anna’s mobile phone had been snatched away. She could only try her best to protect Kristen and not let others take advantage of her.
Seeing that Kristen was drunk, Mr. Belly hurriedly motioned for the bodyguards to pull Anna away.
Just as he was about to move closer, he heard a voice coming from the door.
“Mr. Belly, Mr. Sterling is here.”
Hearing this, Mr. Belly hurriedly invited him in. “Quick, let him in.”
A man in a white suit walked in. Mr. Belly did not care about the pain in his leg. He went forward and flattered him. “Mr. Sterling, your presence brings light to our humble abode.”
Kristen looked up and was delighted, “Elvis.”
The man was stunned and hurried over when he saw her. “Kristen, why are you here?”
The man was Elvis Sterling. He had come to socialize, but he hadn’t expected to bump into Kristen.
“Take me out.”
Kristen held him and didn’t say anything, but Elvis was not stupid.
He glanced at the crowd angrily and knew that it was not the time to quarrel. He immediately held Kristen’s hand and was ready to go out.
Kristen pointed at Mr. Jackson. Elvis was confused at first, but then he reacted and said, “Mr. Jackson, are you leaving now? I can give you a ride.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Sterling.”
Mr. Jackson accepted. He was swindled here and was forced to arrange a role for another’s daughter.
What he despised most was this kind of commercial means, but no matter how arrogant he was, he had to show his respect to these capitalists.
He thought that Kristen was here to drink with the capitalists in the beginning. That’s why he ignored her.
Mr. Sterling was obviously of high status. Since he could leave with his help, of course, he had to accept it.
Anna hurriedly snatched back her phone and reported it to Ethan.
