Chapter 511
Lord Protector Novel
Mr. Terence was delighted when he heard what Zeke said.
If he gives another round of toasts, heâd come to a total of at least three bottles.
That amount of alcohol can probably set his insides on fire.
Itâs better if this guy just dies.
Mr. Terenceâs gave a hearty laugh. âWonderful! I like your attitude. Alright. Since you insist, we will respect that.
Mr. Terence personally poured all of them a glass each.
Sharon quickly stopped Mr. Terence.
âThatâs enough. You donât need to pour him another glass.â There was a bite in her tone.
âZeke, donât you know your own limits? Will you only stop when something goes terribly wrong? Even if you donât care about what happens to yourself, you still need to think about us. If something happens to you, weâre the ones that need to take responsibility.â
Crew-Cut and the others instantly felt displeased.
âMs. Edward, what do you mean by that?â
âArenât you looking down on us by stopping our buddy from giving us a toast?â
âSince you donât want him to drink, you should drink in his stead then.â
Sharon was going to say something when Zeke picked up his glass and gulped its contents in one go.
âNow thatâs what I call a quality wine!â
Sharon plopped back down to her seat and gritted through her teeth, âYouâre a gone case.â
Mr. Terence laughed and finished his own glass of wine.
Zeke toasted a glass to each of the remaining four men.
Mr. Terence and the others had drunk six glasses each, but Zeke had drunk five times the amount!
Even if that amount didnât kill him, it would burn a hole through his stomach.
Sure enough, not only did Zeke struggle to stay upright in his seat, but his features had also contorted in pain.
He was probably having a gastritis attack.
âAre you finally done? Iâll take you to the hospital now.â Sharon said.
Obviously, Mr. Terrence would never allow Sharon to leave.
He quickly signaled Crew-Cut with his eyes.
Crew-Cut got his message and quickly stood up. âMs. Edward, a woman of your slim figure surely canât carry a fully grown man.â
âTell you what. Why donât you stay here, and Iâll bring Mr. Williams to the hospital instead.â
How can I feel at ease handing Zeke over to him?
Not to mention Zeke even had a minor conflict with Mr. Terence earlier, so it would be a miracle if Mr.
Terence doesnât use this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
She hastily answered, âI donât want to trouble any of you. Iâll be fine on my own.â
Mr. Terence sneered. âMs. Edward, the moment you step beyond these doors, you can kiss your money goodbye.â
Sharon was caught in a dilemma.
She looked at Mr. Terrence, then at Zeke. In the end, she clenched her jaw and steeled her resolve.
âMr. Williams, Iâll take you to the hospital now.â
In the end, she chose Zeke over the money.
However, Zeke suddenly waved his hand and said, âWait. I canât leave just yet.â
Sharon couldnât take it anymore and snapped at him, âZeke Williams, what more do you want? Do you know what youâve cost me today?â
Based on the current situation, she was a hundred percent certain that she wouldnât be able to settle the debt. The entertainment company was doomed to declare bankruptcy and liquidate all its assets.
And it was all because of this guy who had a talent for screwing things up!
Zeke raised his head and stared straight at Mr. Terence. âMr. Terrence, letâs not bully a girl, eh? Why donât I toast a few more glasses to you and your buddies, and in return, you give Ms. Edward what she came here for, yes?â
Sharonâs whole body trembled as she stared at Zeke. Pressure built behind her nose and her chest felt a little stuffy.
Even now, he was still thinking on her behalf, and was willing to continue drinking at the expense of his own health.
When he was downing all those drinks earlier, he must have been working his way into making sure she received the money.
It would be a lie if she said she wasnât moved by a man who sacrificed so much and was ready to drink himself to death, all for her sake.
She turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Her heart that was cold and akin to a thousand-year-old iceberg finally melted a little.
