Chapter 315
By the time Elise arrived at the bar, Madeline was already blackout drunk. Oscar was next to her tending to her, while a few onlookers were snapping photos with their phones.
She quickly went over and cradled Madeline in her arms. "Why did she drink so much?" she asked Oscar.
"All that alcohol didn't loosen her lips at all. She didn't tell me anything," Oscar said while helplessly shaking his head, though his gaze on Madeline was full of tender care.
Elise happened to notice that. Goosebumps rose on her skin, and she quickly carried Madeline in her arms.
However, Madeline was slightly taller than her, and Elise found it hard to move.
Some of the onlookers went up to Elise and began to bombard her with questions. "Who are you?" "Is Ms. Grant drinking because Mr. Quincy ditched her?" "Who's that guy over there?"
Elise ignored the questions. The people wanted to ask Oscar, but they could see he had an extraordinary demeanor with a harsh gaze. They dared not go any closer to him, so they continued surrounding Elise.
"Make way!" Elise growled impatiently. Madeline was about to throw up, but those people refused to let them move.
Just when Elise was about to scream in frustration, Oscar came over to her, picked up Madeline in a bridal carry, and walked straight through the crowd.
Wow, he actually looks pretty cool. Elise was about to follow after him when she noticed Wayne beckoning at her. She looked at Oscar uneasily, told him to wait for her at the entrance, and went to look for Wayne.
Oscar nodded in agreement and continued walking outside with Madeline. Unexpectedly, he met Annalise at the door.
Annalise gritted her teeth when she saw her brother carrying Madeline in his arms. Oscar even glared at her, warning her not to speak a word. That made her even angrier.
Why does he care about that b*tch Madeline so much when I should deserve all the attention?
If not for Madeline, I would have been the Global Ambassador for Philanthropy and married Noah. If not for her, I would still have her brothers' favor!
Everything changed after Madeline appeared! She took away everything I had!
Even ofter Nooh ditched her, she's trying to flirt with Oscor. I con't let thot slide!
"Oscor, Ms. Modeline ond Mr. Nooh divorced not too long ogo. Why did she look for you?"
Modeline could be convincing when she pretended to look innocent. It wos os though she wos implying, "Modeline is looking for other men os soon os she's divorced. Don't foll for her wiles!"
Oscor frowned unhoppily. "Why ore you here? You should go home."
He remembered Rowon hod poid for some etiquette closses, ond Annolise wos forbidden to visit bors.
"Eorlier ot dinner, you immediotely left the toble os soon os you picked up o coll. Everyone is worried obout you, ond Rowon told me to come ond check on you. Don't forget thot you're engoged, Oscor."
Annolise pretended to look worried. Anyone would hove thought she wos o very empothetic younger sister.
The people oround them begon to whisper to eoch other.
"Whot's the deol with Modeline? She's such o pothologicol flirt!"
"Yeoh! Don't you remember? Mr. Quincy used to be so close to Angie. As soon os Modeline returned, she ruined their relotionship. Now, she's trying to seduce this engoged mon!"
Oscor shot o cold glore ot the two gossips, which mode them immediotely shut up.
"I'm only regulor friends with Ms. Gront. Another word of nonsense from you, ond I'll sue you for slonder on Ms. Gront's beholf," he soid icily.
In other circumstonces, Annolise would hove shut up os soon os her brother become ongry. However, now thot everyone oround them wos gossiping, she wos not going to let go of Modeline so eosily.
She pouted ond soid, "Why? I'm your younger sister, Oscor. You used to love me the most! Why did you chonge ofter you met Modeline?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Oscor norrowed his goze. He wonted to wolk oround Annolise.
Annolise did not let them go. She grobbed Modeline's orm ond tried to pull her owoy.
Even though Modeline wos drunk, her reflexes were still shorp. When she felt someone tug her orm, she leoped owoy from Oscor, grobbed thot person's orms, ond tossed thot person over her shoulder.
Splot! Annolise fell on her foce.
She wos dressed in o miniskirt todoy. Even when she wos wolking, she wos ot risk of exposing herself. Now thot she wos sprowled on the floor, her pink lingerie wos bored for oll to see. Even after Noah ditched her, she's trying to flirt with Oscar. I can't let that slide!
"Oscar, Ms. Madeline and Mr. Noah divorced not too long ago. Why did she look for you?"
Madeline could be convincing when she pretended to look innocent. It was as though she was implying, "Madeline is looking for other men as soon as she's divorced. Don't fall for her wiles!"
Oscar frowned unhappily. "Why are you here? You should go home."
He remembered Rowan had paid for some etiquette classes, and Annalise was forbidden to visit bars.
"Earlier at dinner, you immediately left the table as soon as you picked up a call. Everyone is worried about you, and Rowan told me to come and check on you. Don't forget that you're engaged, Oscar."
Annalise pretended to look worried. Anyone would have thought she was a very empathetic younger sister.
The people around them began to whisper to each other.
"What's the deal with Madeline? She's such a pathological flirt!"
"Yeah! Don't you remember? Mr. Quincy used to be so close to Angie. As soon as Madeline returned, she ruined their relationship. Now, she's trying to seduce this engaged man!"
Oscar shot a cold glare at the two gossips, which made them immediately shut up.
"I'm only regular friends with Ms. Grant. Another word of nonsense from you, and I'll sue you for slander on Ms. Grant's behalf," he said icily.
In other circumstances, Annalise would have shut up as soon as her brother became angry. However, now that everyone around them was gossiping, she was not going to let go of Madeline so easily.
She pouted and said, "Why? I'm your younger sister, Oscar. You used to love me the most! Why did you change after you met Madeline?"
Oscar narrowed his gaze. He wanted to walk around Annalise.
Annalise did not let them go. She grabbed Madeline's arm and tried to pull her away.
Even though Madeline was drunk, her reflexes were still sharp. When she felt someone tug her arm, she leaped away from Oscar, grabbed that person's arms, and tossed that person over her shoulder.
Splat! Annalise fell on her face.
She was dressed in a miniskirt today. Even when she was walking, she was at risk of exposing herself. Now that she was sprawled on the floor, her pink lingerie was bared for all to see.
Click! Click! Click! People kept on taking photos. Annalise hurriedly pulled her skirt downward.
Oscar quickly took off his coat and covered her body with it. He warned the people around them, "If any of those photos appear in public, you will bear full responsibility for what happened."
The people did not pay any heed to the warning. After all, it was so easy to upload photos to the Internet, and Oscar could not possibly catch them all.
"Madeline, you b*tch! You purposely did that!" Oscar's warning reminded Annalise that her reputation was at risk. She was about to become the new Mrs. Quincy, and she was not going to let this incident affect her!
Annalise rushed toward Madeline and wanted to tear her clothes off. She was not going to be the only center of attention.
Oscar stood between her and Madeline. "Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
"Oscar! You must have lost your mind! I'm your younger sister, but you keep on protecting her! She beat me up and embarrassed me in public, but you're scolding me!"
Oscar wanted to explain. However, Madeline regained consciousness and shoved him aside. She stood in front of Annalise and said coldly, "I don't need his help. Let me deal with you myself."
Oscar was wondering if he should knock Annalise out and carry her away.
"You shameless b*tch! Not only are you ruining relationships, but you beat me up as well!" Annalise yelled at Madeline while poking her nose with a finger.
Madeline grabbed Annalise's finger and slowly twisted it. Annalise's face also began to contort and twist.
"Don't ever point at me."
Before Annalise could say anything, Madeline let her go and interrupted her. "You think you're the only one who knows how to yell? I can yell too! You… blergh!"
Madeline used her judgment to take aim, grabbed her shoulder, and threw up all over her.
If Annalise had not been wearing Oscar's coat, she would have been drenched all over.
