Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 221

Even though Daphne was whisked away by Lionel early, the game in the private room was still going strong. Probably because Mr. Hernandez always had the upper hand in his daily life, so this time, everyone seemed to subtly gang up on him and successfully got him drunk.

Julie hasn't had a drink like this in a long time. While she didn't end up as wasted as Kieran, she was still a bit fuzzy.

The only ones left sober at the scene were Harding and Hayden. Everyone else was pretty much passed out drunk.

Annalise Hansen was leaning on Hayden, non-stop shouting, "Julien, don't you dare try to steal Hayden from me. Hayden is my hubby since childhood, oh no, I mean hubby-to-be. You don't stand a chance against me!"

If Julien was sober at this point, she wouldn't bother to retort. But instead, she grabbed Annalise and shoved her aside, then looked down at Annalise who fell on the couch and asked, "Who's your hubby?"

Hayden's face was slightly grim.

Annalise pouted innocently at Hayden, "Him!"

"I'm not." Hayden helped Julien steady herself.

Julien nodded, looking at him approvingly, "I know, if she marries you, she must be blind."

Harding, just back from the bathroom, couldn't help but snicker at this, then told Hayden, "I'll take care of the others, can you and Julien take this couple and Annalise home?"

Hayden glanced at Annalise, then turned to Harding with a frosty look, as if to say 'are you kidding me'.

Harding laughed, "Got it. I'll handle Annalise, you take the couple home!"

As soon as Harding finished speaking, Marlon, like a zombie, grabbed Harding's hand, "Drink, keep drinking!"

Harding shook his hand off, "You damn fool!"

"Fool? You've got no shame, come have a few more drinks with me."

Hayden gave them a meaningful look, then said, "Don't bunk with Marlon tonight, watch out for his antics when he's drunk."

After saying that, he bent down to pick up Julien and instructed his men to bring Julie and Kieran to the car.

He glanced at Annalise and finally said to Harding, "I'll drop her off on the way, you take care of the rest."

Harding turned and poured Marlon another drink, "Impressive, why don't you drink till you puke!"

In the limousine, Julie wasn't out of control after drinking, just a bit dizzy.

Kieran didn't go crazy after drinking either, he fell asleep in the car after he finished his drink. Annalise, on the other hand, was especially excited after drinking, grabbing Hayden's hand and yelling, "Kerry, how did you and Hayden end up looking so much alike?"

"Kerry's over there." Hayden pointed to Kieran lying next to Julie.

Annalise was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly punched Kieran in the shoulder, "Kieran, beat it, Hayden and I have business to take care of!"

Seeing Kieran open his eyes with a frown, Hayden grabbed the hand that Annalise was using to hit him and pushed her away, "Beat it."

Hayden frowned, looking somewhat relieved at Julien, who was leaning against the window looking a bit drunk, "At least you're quiet when you're drunk."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Julien suddenly grabbed his hair and slammed him onto the mini fridge in the car, "Beat it! You left my life once, don't think about coming back now!"

Annalise, who had just been making a fuss, was scared into silence and quietly hugged Julie's arm.

Hayden rubbed his forehead. He could have stopped her just now, but was afraid of hurting her. She, on the other hand, was more than happy to let him go, causing him to bump into the mini fridge!

"Alison, give me the rope!"

Alison, in the front seat, heard her boss's words and was a bit puzzled, "Sir, no rope, but will handcuffs do?"

"Forget it." Hayden sat back next to Julien, holding her in his arms, finally understanding why Kerry wanted to hold Julie.

After all the commotion, Hayden first dropped off Annalise at the Hansen family, then took Julie and Kieran back to Noblewood Retreat. Noah quickly came forward to steady Kieran, "Oh my, young master, how much have you drank?"

"It's fine." Hayden took Kieran and Julie back to their room.

Just as he was about to leave, Julie suddenly stood up, rubbing her long hair in a daze, "Don't I live next door?"

With that, she walked towards the next room in front of Hayden.

Hayden turned to look at Kieran lying on the bed, "So you guys are still living separately?"

Kieran turned his head, gave Hayden an unhappy look, got up from the bed and said, "I'm going next door too!"

Then he staggered to the door of the next room and pushed it open.
