Percy’s expression froze, and he explained in a panic, “No way! You and I are engaged. Why would I
do something as unnecessary as that? Besides, the red wine’s prepared by the restaurant.”
Inez narrowed her eyes. “It better be.”
She twirled the glass and was about to drink it when the door to the private room suddenly opened.
A warm, large hand snatched her wineglass away.
Perplexed, Inez raised her head and saw Kieran. “What are you doing here?”
Kieran placed the wineglass below his nose and sniffed while glancing at Percy.
Percy gulped and tried to act tough. “Who are you? You’ve barged into my private room! Please leave!”
He stood up and tried to snatch the glass from Kieran.
Kieran stepped back and coldly splashed the wine on Percy’s face without saying a word.
Percy ceased his movements. He pursed his lips as drops of red wine steamed down.
Upon registering what he had just done, he immediately spat the wine out and wiped his lips clean.
Inez rested her chin on one hand while holding back her laughter, staring at the two men as though she
had nothing to do with what was going on.
Kieran was usually composed, but, at that moment, he was furious.
He hurled the wineglass at the wall, smashing it into pieces. “You’re an animal! How dare you try to
drug your fiancée!”
Percy was dumbfounded for a few seconds.
As he was shorter than Kieran, he had to lift his head to meet the latter’s eyes. He wiped his glasses
clean and roared, “Do you have any proof to support your accusation? I can sue you for slander! Also,
this is my territory! I’m going to make you apologize to me and have the security guards throw you out!”
After he put his glasses back on, he called the manager on the phone.
“It’s Percy! Someone’s causing trouble in my private room! Please bring security guards over, or I’ll file
a complaint about you all!” Once he ended the call, he looked at Kieran arrogantly. “Don’t think you’re
hot stuff just because you’re handsome, punk. Since you’re a friend of Inez, I’ll request only an apology
from you. I won’t even ask you to compensate for the smashed wineglass.”
Inez, who was sitting silently at the side, covered her mouth to hold back her laughter. I’ve known
Kieran for over a year, and I’ve never seen anyone successfully make him apologize.
Casually, she tossed two peanuts into her mouth. Hmm, this goes well with watching a show.
Kieran glanced at her before hissing frigidly at Percy again, “You have some nerve to act arrogantly
even though you don’t know who I am. When the manager arrives, you’re the one getting kicked out.”
Once again, Percy was stunned. Kieran was poised and possessed an intimidating, icy aura. He isn’t a
distinguished figure, is he?
Slightly afraid, he turned to Inez, who was still eating peanuts. “Who is he, Inez?”
After contemplating her answer briefly, she answered casually, “A doctor.”
“Is he really just a doctor?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Percy arched a brow and asked, “What’s your relationship with him? Are you close to him?”
Inez paused.
Kieran also waited for her answer quietly.
As the men gazed at her, Inez spat coldly, “Not really. I met him a few times before, but that’s about it.”
When Kieran heard that, his heart immediately sank, and his chest throbbed with pain.
Percy turned to Kieran and said arrogantly, “So, you’re just framing me on purpose, huh? I was going to
let this slide because of Inez, but looks like I don’t need to because you asked for it! A man like you
deserves to spend a few days in jail!”
Just as he ended his sentence, the manager hastily stepped into the private room with four security
guards.
Pointing at Kieran, Percy ordered, “He’s the one who barged into my room for no reason and broke a
wine glass! He even accused me of drugging the wine! Call the police right now and throw him out!”
However, the manager ignored him and bowed to Kieran. “What’s going on, Mr. Kieran?”
“Mr. Kieran? From which family?” Percy asked somewhat timidly.
“Do you know another Mr. Kieran? He’s the second son of the Harris family in Salinsburgh!” The
manager glared at Percy. “You may not know about this, but the biggest shareholder of Yucca Delight is
Mr. Asher, Mr. Kieran’s elder brother! How dare you try to chase Mr. Kieran away in the Harris family’s
territory!”
Percy looked at Kieran and then at Inez, unable to utter another word due to shock.
A few seconds of silence ensued before Kieran ordered, “Throw him out. He drugged the wine, so I
want him handed over to the police. And don’t allow him to dine in this restaurant again.”
“Will do, Mr. Kieran!” the manager replied.
It took a while before Percy realized he had offended an influential figure.
“Please forgive me, Mr. Kieran! I was wrong! I should’ve recognized who you are! I didn’t drug the wine!
Please don’t send me to jail and hold a grudge against Campbell Corporation!” he begged,
approaching Kieran with tears.
Frowning with disdain, Kieran kicked Percy away. “Take him away now!”
“Understood!” The security guards promptly covered Percy’s mouth, muffling his crying voice.
Then, all four of the guards dragged Percy out of the room.
It wasn’t until his obnoxious voice disappeared that the manager apologized to Kieran. “I’m sorry, Mr.
Kieran. I didn’t expect Mr. Campbell to be someone like that. We’ll better screen our customers next
time before allowing them to dine in our restaurant.”
Kieran nodded.
“Since the room’s dirty and the food has been eaten, should I arrange a better private room for you and
Ms. Inez?” the manager continued.
Just as Kieran was about to speak, Inez went first. “It’s fine. I’m almost full.”
“In that case, I’ll take my leave now. If you need anything, call me.” With an ingratiating smile, the
manager left the room expeditiously and shut the door tight.
Following the manager’s departure, silence returned to the confined space.
Kieran sat next to Inez’s left, a spot not taken by Percy earlier.
As he watched her eat peanuts, he asked, “Are you satisfied with a fiancé like Percy?”
“What do you think?” answered Inez with a question.
Kieran sat properly while staring at her face. “You’re dissatisfied with him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t
have kept quiet and watched him get taken away.”
With a touch of bitterness in her eyes, Inez scoffed, “My dad wants me to marry someone who can lift
Mossey Corporation to greater heights. I have no choice in the matter.” She picked up an empty
wineglass and filled it with red wine. “Everyone in Fairlake knows I left this place in the past to pursue a
man. Who else can I marry but Percy? It’s not like you’re going to marry me. Why do you care so
much?”
Dejectedly, she raised the glass and prepared to empty it.
However, Kieran snatched it away again.
