Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 305 Emily

The Sunset Haven Club buzzed with activity as an elegant soirée was in full swing.

In the gilded hall, smooth jazz floated through the air, setting the sophisticated ambiance that defined high society gatherings. Crystal glasses clinked together as men and women exchanged polite laughter-no one concerned whether the smiles were genuine.

On the second floor, Faris reclined on a leather banquette, clutching a glass. His gaze fixed on the bustling hall below, his solitary figure seeming detached from the festivity surrounding him.

When he reached for the bottle to refill his glass, he discovered it was empty. With a snap of his fingers, a waiter promptly approached.

"Bring more!" Faris's voice betrayed his intoxication.

The waiter hesitated, glancing toward a male assistant standing nearby, discreetly holding up three fingers.

The assistant shrugged helplessly. He was well aware this would be the third bottle, but he knew Faris's temperament all too well. Ever since Faris had returned from a wedding in Starlight City, he had been in a dark mood.

"Fuck, do you want to quit? Who's the boss here me or him?" Faris kicked over an empty bottle in frustration.

The waiter trembled as he rushed to pick up the bottle, then hurriedly fetched another, uncorking it before setting it down.

Faris poured and drank as if consuming water rather than alcohol. He was already drunk, and continuing would only lead to trouble. Yet no one dared intervene.

The assistant anxiously kept glancing toward the staircase.

Soon, a woman with chestnut hair cascading to her waist, dressed in a cream-colored dress, ascended the stairs on slender legs.

The assistant exhaled with relief and hurried to meet her. "Ms. Glover, thank goodness you're here!"

Emily brushed her hair off her shoulder and looked concernedly at Faris drinking alone. "Is he alright?"

"Not at all. He's had far too much to drink."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll talk to him."

She walked toward Faris. In this state, Emily was likely the only person who could approach him safely.

She crouched beside him and gently took his hand. His skin was cold, and the missing pinky finger gave his hand an unusual appearance, but that didn't diminish her admiration to her, he remained the most perfect man in the world.

She cradled his hand between hers, attempting to warm it with her touch.
