When Love Turns to Ashes

Devin, as if grasping at a lifeline, quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, no wonder I couldn't remember any of these things. It turns out Beatrice tricked me into getting drunk during our last dinner together. How can that be considered fair?" Upon hearing this, Beatrice's heart skipped a beat, her lips slightly parted, but no sound came out, as if she was held in place by an invisible force.

She still didn't consider it carefully.

She had thought that Devin would deny it, but she hadn't expected that he would also admit to saying those words in this way.

Oscar gracefully stepped down and walked up to Beatrice, extending his hand. "Beatrice, I believe

And Oscar was the hunter standing outside the cage, teasing.

Just at that moment, the big screen suddenly lit up again.

Beatrice looked at the screen and sighed, "Big brother, why don't you turn around and see for yourself."

Oscar turned his head and looked, his smile froze on his face.

In the video, Devin sat on the couch, with a beautiful woman on each side.

Two women were dressed in neither flashy nor cheap attire. On the contrary, their skirts were adorned with brand logos, indicating that they were probably from an upscale establishment. Several people appeared intoxicated.

One of the women approached Devin and said, "Mr. Powell, you have become quite a celebrity in our Chicago recently. You are amazing."

Devin burped after drinking. "You guys are smart, there will be benefits if you stick with me in the future."

"Really? Then we must give it a try. I heard before that you managed to auction a very powerful gem. Can you show us and let us have a look?"

"No." Devin refused immediately.

Another woman, who was very understanding, interrupted her sister and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Can the auction house show us their items? Do you think Mr. Powell is like Mr. 17:01
