"Luke Chase, don't take it too far!" Macy said coldly." Do you think we’re blind? We can see that you're targeting Lyra. She is already stripped down to her camisole. What else do you want from her?"
Luke shrugged with a confused expression. "I won, so she should strip. How am I taking it too far? You can strip on her behalf if you want!"
The club was warm enough, so Macy did not wear much other than a long halter dress.
As such, she could not embarrass herself to help Lyra.
"Let’s call it a day. It's late.” Julien walked over and put his coat over Lyra.
Before Luke could speak, Julien said calmly, "I’ll tell the finance department to remit three million to your company account tomorrow morning. Flint Corporation will also withdraw from Snowfall’s acquisition. I'll have someone assist your company in acquiring Snowfall."
Luke had already seen Lyra humiliated, and with Julien's concession, he naturally knew when to stop.
"When Sydney was ten and played cards with her dad, not even her dad could win against her, much less me." Luke put out the cigarette in the ashtray and slowly got up. "You might have won those few rounds against her, but you should think again whether you really won or if she just didn't want to compete with you.”
When he passed by Julien, he glanced at Julien and snorted. "She really doesn't want you anymore.
Otherwise, not even ten Lyras can win against her."
At those words, Julien remembered Sydney’s calm appearance when removing the tattoo, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
That woman knew how to play.
Sydney and Sharon ate some snacks in the private room and sang a few songs before Luke came in.
Sharon quickly went over and asked him what had happened. When she learned that Lyra lost until she almost had to strip naked, she felt incredibly satisfied. "If not for President Flint, she'd probably have to walk out of the club butt naked today!"
"Exactly!" Luke huffed. "A tooth for a tooth. I'll pay her back in double for bullying my darling!"
"Thank you.” Sydney smiled and clinked glasses with him.
Luke also did not ask why Sydney let Lyra and the others bully her in the room. Instead, he reached out, swept her into his arms, and said teasingly, "We've slept in the same bed for so long. There's no need for thanks!" "Woah!" Sharon looked at them with wide eyes."
Seriously?” "Of course..."
"I'm going to slap you if you stain my reputation!" Sydney kicked him hard and explained to Sharon," When we were young, and his parents weren’t at home, he would always come to my place to eat and sleep. He didn't even pay a single penny. Don't you think he's horrible?”
Sharon immediately looked disgusted. "Oh, I didn't know Luke was that shameless."
As they bantered, they did not realize that the small wiretap taped on the bottom of the table recorded their conversation perfectly.
Soon, Luke's circle of friends came one after another, and the room was filled with cheer and liveliness.
Sydney did not like bustling places, and since she was not in a good mood, she just sat in the corner drinking wine. She only joined in when she saw Luke and the others having fun while playing drinking games.
Even though she lost the game, she lost happily and downed glass after glass of red and white wine.
She felt like fainting after just a few rounds.
"I'm going out for some air. You guys can continue playing." Sydney could not stand it any longer, so she informed Luke and then walked out of the room.
She originally wanted to blow in the breeze on the balcony, but she drank too much and felt even sicker when the cold wind blew past.
Pursing her lips, she hurried to the washroom.
Her stomach felt much better after puking. After that, she splashed cold water on her face and raised her head to look at herself in the mirror.
She looked miserable and pitiful.
