Penny was tipsy and about to lose consciousness, but after hearing the woman's reminder, she raised her glass at once. 'Til drink it."
Everyone began to cheer for her.
They knew Seth wanted to make Penny drunk. It was blatantly obvious that Penny was going to knock out after drinking this glass of brandy.
Heinz leaned closer to Seth and grinned. "Sir, I've prepared a room for you. We can help you bring Ms. Smith there later."
Seth's lips curled up in a smirk. "Good job!"
Penny, whose cheeks were flushed red, picked up the ninth glass and was about to drink it.
Suddenly, a muscular arm appeared and grabbed her wrist.
A voice rang out, "Stop drinking now!"
Penny jolted upon hearing that. So she looked up abruptly and saw Nathan.
"Honey!"
She got up at once, but the moment she stood up, she felt the world spinning around her.
Penny collapsed into Nathan's arm and fainted.
As Nathan held his wife, he was utterly shocked, angry, and distressed to see the state she was in. She got so drunk because she was trying to get someone to save him.
Picking Penny up, he told her, "Let's go home!"
He then turned away with Penny in his arms.
However, Heinz and his men blocked his way and refused to let him leave.
Heinz told him icily, "Mr. Carney didn't say you can leave."
Nathan frowned and turned to Seth, who was still sitting on the sofa.
Seth lit up a cigarette and smoked while his legs were crossed. He smiled faintly, "You can go, but leave Ms. Smith here. I'll send her back when I'm done with her. Just wait for her at home."
Nathan's expression darkened. "I'll allow you to kneel and repeat your words."
What?
Did he just tell Mr. Carney to kneel and repeat his words?
Everyone at the club looked at each other while Heinz and his men glowered at Nathan angrily.
Seth wasn't mad at all. Instead, he found it interesting.
No one dared to speak to him loudly in Brimmopolis, let alone in Channing.
