The manager was really anxious, and he signaled to the bodyguards around him, saying, “Mr. Lee, I’m sorry. We really can’t afford to offend the man upstairs. We have to keep Miss Sheridan no matter what!”
The bodyguard was about to take Aurelia away. Given Briar’s fighting skills were not as good as Aurelia’s, and Aurelia was drunk, when he saw the bodyguard was about to take action, he got anxious. “Damn it! I’m going to check who’s upstairs today!”
As he said that, he pulled Aurelia upstairs.
Briar made way through the crowd and successfully reached the second floor. He kicked open the private room the manager mentioned before roaring, “I want to see who has the balls to take Aurelia away! Mr. F-Finnegan…”
After seeing who was in the private room, Briar was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He looked at the drunkard behind him and immediately closed the door of the private room with a bang.
He swallowed and told Aurelia in a trembling voice, “R-Run! Callum is here!”
Aurelia, who was about to pass out drunk, sobered up a bit when she heard Callum’s name again. She stared at Briar with wide eyes and nodded seriously. The two of them reacted and rushed downstairs hand in hand.
At the moment when the door of the private room opened, the man sitting on the sofa had seen the person standing outside. With just one glance, Callum saw Aurelia. If he was not mistaken, she had drunk a lot.
Callum opened the door to the private room and ordered the manager, “Catch them!”
The manager didn’t know what was going on, but since he had ordered, the manager immediately dispatched a number of bodyguards to stop the two people who were rushing downstairs.
“Get out of the way!” Briar was pulled by the wrist by Aurelia and rushed into the crowd downstairs.
But there were too many people in the bar, which affected Aurelia’s sprinting performance. She was stopped by the bodyguards after only a few steps.
Without thinking, she knocked down a bodyguard who tried to stop her.
Two, three… When the seventh one came, it was suddenly quiet behind her, and Aurelia suddenly had a bad feeling. Briar stood opposite her, looking at the man behind her with a sad face, wondering if he would die today.
Aurelia dealt with the last bodyguard in front of her, pretending not to feel anything unusual behind her, and rushed forward with one big stride.
“Stop!” The cold word successfully stopped her from running.
Rubberneckers were so frightened by Callum’s aura that they all took three steps back, fearing that they would get involved.
“What should we do?” Aurelia asked Briar beside her in a low voice.
How could he know! “How about I run first? You go and play coy with him. After all, he is your husband!”
“No way! Are you going to abandon me?” Aurelia twisted his arm hard. Briar howled in pain, holding his arm and jumped.
“Aurelia, he’s your husband. Just act cute and be coquettish. Believe me, men will fall for it!”
“What? Act cute?” Aurelia was about to cry. She was not good at this!
Without giving her a chance to react, Briar tugged at her sleeve, almost jumping up nervously. “Hurry up! Your husband is watching us! This is a life-or-death situation!”
Aurelia closed her eyes, suddenly turned around and hugged the man behind her, burying her face in his arms before she said in a baby voice, “Callum, I feel dizzy. Who am I? Where is this place?”
Briar, Callum, and the people present were silent.
Callum smelled the alcohol on the girl in his arms, frowned, and glanced coldly at Briar before asking, “What’s going on?”
Briar knew what he was asking, and was about to bring up Mick, but Mick had already disappeared without a trace. Damn it!
“It’s okay. Aurelia just had two drinks. Right?” At the end, Briar raised his voice and called out to the woman who was acting like a coward.
Aurelia nodded immediately, “Yeah, I… Oops, I feel dizzy. Callum, can we go home?”
Callum did not expose her little trick, and calmly picked up the woman in his arms.
Many people around exclaimed, “Who is that woman to Mr. Finnegan?”
“I don’t know. Why would Mr. Finnegan hug her?”
When he walked over to Briar, Callum kicked him on the leg. “Are you looking for a fight? Look at her, why did you let her drink so much?”
Briar whined and retorted unconvincedly, “It’s not like I don’t want to stop her… Oh, I’d better stop talking.”
Callum glanced over and Briar shut his mouth in frustration! Damn! Briar had never felt so frustrated before!
Aurelia quietly looked up and mouthed to Briar, “I’m sorry!”
Briar snorted arrogantly and ignored her. It was because of her that he got kicked by Callum! Damn! It hurt so much. Even his father had never kicked him so hard!
He wondered if there would be a chance to get back at Callum in the future. If there was, he would definitely make Callum kneel down and beg for his forgiveness. That feeling must be so great!
Callum, who was striding towards the door, suddenly turned around and glared at Briar. The latter immediately ran away in fear.
Jim saw Callum coming out of the bar holding Aurelia. He was slightly startled and immediately opened the back door of the car.
Aurelia pretended to sleep from the moment she got in the car, and in the end she actually fell asleep.
She didn’t know when she arrived at the villa until she was woken up by the cold. Then she found that she had been thrown into the bathtub without knowing when. The cold water hit her body and she shivered unconsciously.
“Callum, don’t go too far!”
“Awake?” He suppressed his anger. The whole car was filled with the smell of alcohol, which showed how much vodka she had drunk.
Dollar bills were scattered on the floor of the bathroom. Aurelia didn’t care about her wet clothes. She climbed out of the bathtub with a heartache and picked up the dollar bills on the floor.
This was her hard-earned money. Looking at Callum’s murderous gaze, she felt like the money would cost her life!
Callum didn’t stop her. He waited until she had picked up the money before he spoke, “Go change your clothes.”
“Um?”
“Let’s go out for a while.”
Aurelia tried to read his expression, but the man had no expression on his face, so she could only nod.
After changing her clothes and coming out of the room, Callum was already waiting for her downstairs.
After getting in the car, which slowly drove away from the villa, Aurelia looked at the scenery passing by on both sides. She remembered the last time she went to the cemetery. She immediately became alert and asked, “Where are we going?”
“EliteMart.”
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it. But why go to EliteMart so late?
It wasn’t until the car parked in the parking lot, Aurelia got out with slightly unsteady steps, and took the elevator to the top floor that she knew what they were here for.
