CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 That Gesture Was Francis' Name

With a loud bang, the bottle shattered into pieces. The liquid poured down, mixing with blood, blurring Courtney's vision.

Everything happened too quickly. No one had time to react. No one expected Courtney to be so ruthless towards herself.

"Courtney!" Lester's pupils contracted. He quickly supported falling Courtney and angrily shouted, "What are you doing!"

His sister was too stubborn. She would rather smash the bottle on herself than apologize. He really didn't know where she got her stubbornness from!

Courtney leaned against Lester, took a breath, and looked at Francis, asking, "Is that enough? If your mistress is still not satisfied, I can do it again."

As she was about to grab another bottle, Lester stopped her.

Lester also got furious. He looked at Francis with red eyes and questioned, "Francis, we've known each other for almost thirty years. Are you sure you want to make tonight the start of us against each other?"

As Lilian entered this box, she just happened to hear Lester's angry words.

She hurriedly ran to Courtney. Seeing the blood on her forehead, she had guilt and self-blaming in her eyes, and her tears welled up.

Courtney saw Lilian and asked weakly, "Why did you come?"

Francis frowned and asked, "Who told you to come here?"

Michael, in the corner, stuttered and said, "Emm... I... I asked her to come."

Lilian turned her head and glanced at Francis and Julian beside him. They sat together like a pair of amazing couple.

She walked quickly towards Julian.

Julian hugged Francis's arm, not sure if it was out of fear or to assert ownership towards Francis.

Francis frowned, and his gaze followed Lilian.

Lilian stopped in front of Julian, and Julian raised her chin, looking at Lilian with a defiant gaze.

After a few seconds, Lilian bowed to Julian.
