Hearing this, Sherman didn't respond. She couldn't agree with the views of May, nor could she stand it.
"Things had changed now. Men just like to mess around outside. This is very common nowadays..."
In the bar.
A group of people gathered around a table full of wine. Billy sat right in the middle, and these people kept drinking.
These men thought cheating was nothing to be alarmed about. It was just normal.
And they all thought that Sherman was making a fuss. They kept persuading Billy to drink and told him to relax. Alcohol could indeed bring mental relaxation.
"I also think that Sherman really went a little too far. She slapped Mr. Day in the street. How humiliating it was! If it were me, I would have slapped her in return."
"She really thought she was something. It's her luck to be loved by Mr. Day. The more one gets, the more one wants. I think she didn't cherish her happiness at all."
"Sherman is really not as good as Natalie."
"Sherman was really pretty when she was in college. Natalie was really ugly at that time. But things are
different now. Look at the freckles on Sherman's face and her swollen body. She's not only self-righteous but also very pretentious. Natalie is a real beauty now. She's got a great body and a great face. She's also a woman who knows her place. She is much better than Sherman now. Mr. Day, I think you should consider being with her. She's a catch for a lot of guys right now."
"Natalie has really become more and more beautiful in recent years. Sherman is going downhill."
Billy was still drinking. He had been depressed for too long, and now he just wanted to indulge himself and relax, while the people around him were laughing loudly.
A long figure passed behind them and he seemed to pause for a second, but no one noticed him.
The Club Nightshade had been redecorated, and the opposite corner of the hall was separated by a transparent beaded curtain. It was an elegant private room with green potted plants at the door.
