Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 221

Even though Daphne was whisked away by Lionel early, the game in the private room was still going strong. Probably because Mr. Hernandez always had the upper hand in his daily life, so this time, everyone seemed to subtly gang up on him and successfully got him drunk.

Julie hasn’t had a drink like this in a long time. While she didn’t end up as wasted as Kieran, she was still a bit fuzzy.

The only ones left sober at the scene were Harding and Hayden. Everyone else was pretty much passed out drunk.

Annalise Hansen was leaning on Hayden, non-stop shouting, “Julien, don’t you dare try to steal Hayden from me. Hayden is my hubby since childhood, oh no, I mean hubby-to-be. You don’t stand a chance against me!”

If Julien was sober at this point, she wouldn’t bother to retort. But instead, she grabbed Annalise and shoved her aside, then looked down at Annalise who fell on the couch and asked, “Who’s your hubby?”

Hayden’s face was slightly grim.

Annalise pouted innocently at Hayden, “Him!”

“I’m not.” Hayden helped Julien steady herself.

Julien nodded, looking at him approvingly, “I know, if she marries you, she must be blind.”

Harding, just back from the bathroom, couldn’t help but snicker at this, then told Hayden, “I’ll take care of the others, can you and Julien take this couple and Annalise home?”

Hayden glanced at Annalise, then turned to Harding with a frosty look, as if to say ‘are you kidding me”.

Harding laughed, “Got it. I’ll handle Annalise, you take the couple home!”

As soon as Harding finished speaking, Marlon, like a zombie, grabbed Harding’s hand, “Drink, keep drinking!”

Harding shook his hand off, “You damn fool!”

“Fool? You’ve got no shame, come have a few more drinks with me!”

Hayden gave them a meaningful look, then said, “Don’t bunk with Marlon tonight, watch out for his antics when he’s drunk.”

After saying that, he bent down to pick up Julien and instructed his men to bring Julie and Kieran to the car.

He glanced at Annalise and finally said to Harding, “I’ll drop her off on the way, you take care of the rest.”

Harding turned and poured Marlon another drink, “Impressive, why don’t you drink till you puke!”

In the limousine, Julie wasn’t out of control after drinking, just a bit dizzy.
