Chapter 1002 Someone's Arrogance
Audrey didn't expect herself to break her promise shortly after entering the venue.
Once inside, Kim led Audrey to the crowd and introduced her. Normally, such events would feature celebrities to elevate their status. The more powerful the guests were, the more famous the celebrities who would attend. Today, a big-name celebrity like Audrey indicated the distinguished nature of the evening's attendees.
Kim, trying to maintain a smile, was taken aback when a middle-aged man suddenly spoke out. "Miss Swann, long time no see."
Audrey instinctively turned to the speaker and, upon seeing his face, her expression darkened. "It's you!"
Kim was surprised to learn that Audrey knew one of their boss's esteemed guests for the evening. However, seeing her expression, he felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss. The middle-aged man gazed at Audrey with a sinister smile. "Can't believe that you still remember me, Miss Swann. What a coincidence!"
The host immediately put on a smile. "I didn't you to have such a connection with Miss Swann. Miss Swann, please come and sit next to Mr. Black."
Audrey was unwilling to do that, as she didn't want to get involved with Liam Black. Sensing her displeasure, Kim silently pleaded with her. Out of respect for Kim, she took a seat next to Liam.
As Audrey sat down, Liam's smile became even more menacing. The crowd urged Audrey to raise a toast to Liam, a customary gesture at such events, and she drank a little. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
Audrey and Liam had met while Audrey was out and about. Liam took an interest in her, but Audrey did not reciprocate, leading to some unpleasantness between them.
Audrey tried to move away, but Liam kept getting close to her and even touched her.
Audrey couldn't tolerate it. She stood up and glared at him. "Stop touching me, will you?"
Maintaining a good reputation was crucial in business. Being publicly humiliated by Audrey put him in a bad mood. He sneered at Audrey. "What's the big deal? It's an honor to be touched by me. You're just a prostitute, after all. Why not just name your price?"
Audrey was furious, and Kim was also angry. He hadn't expected this situation. He was about to calm Audrey down, but she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and poured it onto Liam's face.
Everyone was shocked, including Liam, who wiped the wine off his face and glared at Audrey. "Fine, you dare to pour wine on me, huh? If you don't kneel down and lick the wine off my face, you won't leave this place today." Sensing trouble, Kim instinctively shielded Audrey. He wanted to apologize to Liam. However, Liam slapped him and bellowed, "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me for mercy?"
Audrey, seeing Kim being hit, was trembling with anger. Kim stopped her and whispered, "Don't cause more trouble. You poured a drink on him, I got slapped. It evens out. Let's go. I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place.
After being persuaded, Audrey had no choice but to stay put. However, they soon realized Liam had no intention of letting them go.
Liam said coldly, "Trying to leave, huh? Did I agree to that?"
Immediately, several bodyguards rushed out and blocked the door.
Kim looked at the host of the banquet, who shrugged, indicating his powerlessness.
Kim had no choice but to quietly discuss with Audrey, "How about contacting Catherine? As long as Catherine or Branden help us, these people will have to let us go."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
However, Audrey disagreed, as Catherine was pregnant and newly married. She didn't want to trouble Catherine.
Audrey looked calmly at Liam and asked, "What do you want me to do, Mr. Black?"
Liam snorted disdainfully. He had thought that Audrey was pretty and wanted to flirt with her. However, she didn't show her respect in public, which angered him.
"Listen," he said. "Lick my face clean, strip naked, and kneel. If you can do that, I'll let you off the hook today." He couldn't let her disrespect him in public and get away with it.
The demands were too harsh. Kim couldn't bear it anymore. He glared at Liam and warned, 'Mr. Black, we're in Casier. If you make a scene here, you'll be in big trouble. Audrey isn't someone you can insult."
Kim was warning Liam not to get too arrogant. However, it was clear that Liam didn't take it seriously.
Liam stood up and slammed a glass to the ground, saying. "You can't scare me. Now, kneel. If you don't obey, there's no way you'll leave here unscathed."
Audrey was racking her brain, unsure of whom to turn to for help. With no other choice, she decided to call Catherine. As she hesitated, the door to the private room suddenly swung open.
"Woah, whose party is this?" A sudden voice drew everyone's attention. Looking ahead, they saw a handsome, tall young man. Although he didn't know anyone there, his demeanor suggested he was no ordinary person.
Liam didn't recognize him, but the host immediately stood up respectfully. "Mr. Lambert, what brings you here?" Triston's eyes landed on Audrey. "Someone's arrogance," he said with a smile.
