Chapter 174

Strickland instantly looked to the side.Now, he realized that Valerie didn’t take the wine brought by the waiter.“Sorry, I don’t know how to drink.”Valerie spoke with some displeasure.She knew she would be forced repeatedly if she did not reject him.They would not let her stop drinking before she got drunk.Hearing Valerie’s words, Strickland frowned.The atmosphere tensed up.Goodwin cast a disdainful glance at Valerie and said to Strickland in a nonchalant manner, “Mr. Strickland, do you think she’s disrespecting me or you?”Strickland was infuriated.He already had money and women. So what he cared most was his reputation.Valerie rejected him in front of the outsiders.

Tell me. How do you plan to kill them?”The voice was filled with murderous aura.The crowd turned to look in the direction of the sound.At the entrance of the hall came a young man with an erect figure and thick eyebrows.He was Skylar.Behind him was a gorgeous woman, Dianne.“Who is this man? How dare he questions Strickland?”“I’ve never seen him. I guess he is courting death!”The crowd whispered.“Skylar!”Seeing Skylar, Valerie spoke in surprise.But soon, she was worried.Strickland was stunned for a moment andThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

then smirked. “Skylar, I didn’t expect you to run away from those crazy fans! Are you here to settle scores with me? I like your guts.”Strickland despised Skylar.But Skylar despised Strickland even more.Skylar walked right up to Valerie.When he saw Valerie’s swollen cheek, he was infuriated.“Did you slap Valerie?”Skylar gave Strickland a death stare and asked coldly.
