Chapter 9 He Had Gone Insane for that Woman
Le Magique...
It was a famous private club in Linkland City, a paradise for the wealthy. Here, any customer might actually be a prominent figure in Linkland City.
This was Lilian's first time here. Her simple attire stood out among the people here.
Inside a private room, there were several people, including Courtney.
She looked careless and casual, resting her hands behind her head, with a more casual posture than many of the men here.
"Lester, my dear big brother, did you get me here just for Mr. Landau to question me?"
While saying that, Courtney glanced at Francis and Julian sitting next to him.
Francis leaned back on the couch, expressionless, with his legs crossed. The dim light only illuminated his chest. His face was in the shadows, making him look mysterious.
Lester Sachs furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice, "Apologize to Ms. Quinn. Let's get over this, okay?"
Courtney sneered, "Who does she think she is? What right does she have to make me apologize to her?"
"Courtney, don't be foolish!"
Everyone knew that Julian was Francis' precious woman. Courtney was too bold. She offended the most beloved woman of Francis.
"I'm not being foolish. I hit her because I didn't like her. So what?! And, Lester, do you want me to apologize to a home-wrecker? What's wrong with you?"
Courtney's reply made Julian's face turn blue. She stood up abruptly but sat back down on the couch due to the pain in her ankles.
"Don't go too far! When Frank and I were together, he hadn't even married that dummy yet!"
Courtney glanced at her and suddenly sat up straight, grinning while saying, "If you want to put it that way, they have been living together for over a decade. Where were you then?"
"Can it be the same? She's just an orphan. The Landau family let her stay because they pitied her..."
"Bang..."
Julian's words were interrupted as Francis slammed his glass on the table. The force was too strong, causing the glass to shatter into pieces, and the liquor spilled out, spreading across the table.
Francis leaned forward, and his cold and stern face was exposed in the light. His expression was terribly gloomy as he turned his head to look at Courtney. "Apologize," said he.
Courtney raised an eyebrow and replied simply, "No way."
Michael spoke hesitantly, "Frank, why you have to act so angry? We've all been friends for a long time."
