Chapter 1854: A long misunderstanding finally coming to an end

The night continued as everyone celebrated Nina and Finn. However, hours later, Finn and Nina would have to leave the venue for their honeymoon. With that, some people had to leave as well to send them off.

"We’ll be back," Hugo remarked as he rose from his seat, wanting to send off his sister since their parents had already gone with them.

Zoren also rose from his seat because he was family. He had to send off his sister-in-law and the new brother-in-law of their family. But as they stood, Max suddenly slammed his glass onto the table.

"No," Max huffed, making everyone pause.

Slowly, everyone at the table (Hugo, Zoren, and Dean) turned their eyes to Max. Dean remained seated because, well, he had no reason to send off the newlyweds.

Max planted his hands on the table and pushed himself up. At this point, he had already drunk too much and was a bit tipsy.

Once he was on his feet, he pointed at Hugo. "Hugo, I’m challenging you to a duel."

"Huh?" Hugo cocked his head, confused. "You want to... fight me?"

"A basketball duel," Max clarified. "If you win, do whatever you want—ask me anything. But if you lose, break up with her."

Hugo blinked, while the others at the table furrowed their brows.

Meanwhile, at Penny’s table, all the ladies had already risen to their feet to send off Nina. However, as they did, they noticed something was going on at Hugo’s table.

"What’s going on there?" Penny wondered, darting her eyes between Hugo and Max. "Seems like there’s going to be a fight."

"Oh, God..." Lily pinched the bridge of her nose, already guessing what was happening. "That idiot."

Ginnie and Kiara turned to Lily, making her glance at them and sigh heavily. Grace, on the other hand, glanced at the ladies and then at the foolish Max.

Grace couldn’t help but chuckle. "Let’s go get your men."

With that, the ladies approached the men’s table just in time to hear Max’s challenge to Hugo.

"But if you lose, break up with her."

Kiara paused mid-step, her brows knitting. "Excuse me?"

Max huffed and glanced at her, but didn’t feel the need to care about her opinion. He briefly glanced at Ginnie before locking eyes with Hugo again.
