Sarah was bitterly annoyed the whole evening watching Lana stick with Liam like glue. Was she hopeless again? Would Liam really forgive Lana after all she did?

  Not to mention how her background could destroy him, his family, and his business? And yet here she was thinking that Lana's background, that she came to know accidentally, could be of her advantage but then…


  She heaved a frustrated sigh watching Lana hold Liam's hand openly. She asked the waiter to get her some hard drinks and she gulped it all down in one breath. She drank another glass and then another until she felt the alcohol warm her body up.

  She was already feeling a little tipsy when she saw Lana stand up and she too hastily followed but halted when she heard someone call her name.

  "Sarah…"

  She turned around and saw a familiar figure. The old man removed his mask and Sarah forced a smile at him because the man was ironically a family friend of hers, Mr. Chua.

  "Oh uncle Jack…" she greeted him with a smile. Funny…… because just a few weeks ago, she was cursing him and his daughter for choosing Liam for an arranged marriage.

  "Are you here with Kenzie?" she asked and the man shook his head.

  "I can't get a hold of your friend Kenzie nowadays… I need a good lawyer for her… Preferably a woman. Since you two are nicely acquainted, I think she will be more comfortable with you," Mr. Chua added.

  "Oh, yes. I'm sorry I was sick earlier… Oh, how about I visit you and Kenzie home tomorrow?" Sarah suggested and the old man agreed. She saw Lana coming out of the restroom so she quickly excused herself from him and walked towards Lana.

  A waiter holding a tray of drinks passed by her and Sarah stopped him to grab a glass and drank it all up in one gulp. She returned the glass and took two glasses in her hands. Her eyes flashed with an evil gleam thinking about the entire time Lana was sticking intimately with Liam. She was so frustrated to see the undeserving woman with her dream man.

  A sly smile crept upon her face as Sarah walked ahead to approach Lana with a smirk on her face, a happy feeling rising in her heart with the result of what was going to happen with her because she was too annoyed that she wanted her out of sight so she intended to bully her by pouring the wine in the two glasses she held on Lana's dress.

  "Hello there…" she beamed, approaching Lana hastily and was about to pretend to trip in front of Lana and pour the glasses on her dress spoiling it completely, but she ended up bumping into a hard chest instead, causing the drinks to spill on her as well as on the man in front of her.

  "What the heck!" she hissed followed by a hiccup as her head tilted up to look at the unfamiliar face of a man who was glaring at her. She had already had a few drinks and hence was not able to see the face of the man clearly at once. She squinted her eyes to focus on his face and tried to figure out if she knew him.

  "Are you really clumsy or just faking clumsiness?!" the man's angry voice roared in her ears, making her tremble slightly.

  "Are you alright Mr.?" Lana, who was startled by what just happened, asked the man who stood with his back towards her.

  "I am okay…" The man said with a smile.

  Sarah's eyebrows raised when the angry and fierce face of the man suddenly softened as he turned to Lana.

  Lana looked at the man because of his familiar voice and blurted, "Kyle… it's you! What are you doing here? Are you alright?"

  "I'm good. It's nothing. Go back to your seat and I'll take care of her…" Kyle continued with a reassuring smile.

  Lana nodded and walked away instantly after thanking Kyle who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She had not expected to see Kyle in that event. She wanted to talk and ask him how he got the invitation for the event, but then she immediately went back to Liam for the fear that Liam would see her with Kyle and fume unreasonably.

  She and Liam were having good progress in their relationship the past few days and she did not want any misunderstanding between them or for him to feel insecure with anyone because of any of her unintended mistakes.

  She was glad Kyle stepped at the right time and saved her as she actually did not see that coming. Yes, she saw Sarah approaching her with two glasses, but she had never thought that Sarah would dare spill those glasses of wine on her.

  She shook her head and sighed because it was not the first time this happened to her. She was reminded of the last time that happened and that too because of the same person… Liam… He had always had butterflies dancing around him making her suffer. Though Sarah failed, unlike that time she encountered the situation with Rio and had to change her dress with the help of Brione and Noah.

  Lana immediately went back to her seat and she was glad that a few guests were actually blocking the view of the direction towards the restroom so she was confident Liam did not witness how Kyle saved her from Sarah's stupid act of spilling wine on her.

  The auction was about to begin and Lana got excited because she was eyeing some items to bid as well.

  "Tell me if you want anything among these…" Liam suddenly whispered in her ear as he handed her the booklet of items that were to be auctioned.

  Lana's heart was jumping with joy, squealing and thumping, at that gesture from him. She was feeling blissful as she scanned the items in the booklet. She also bit her lower lip to control her smiles when she felt Liam's hand holding hers.

  She leaned closer to Liam and shamelessly whispered in his ear, "I prefer sneaking out instead and going up to our room you booked for us."
