Chapter 74
“Stop making a scene here, Matt!” Colin roared in displeasure. “And come over here to sit down!”
However, his words fell on deaf ears to Matt, who glared at David with clenched fists. “You’re just a lowly farmer; how dare you laugh at me! Stand up and apologize to me!” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
A frosty expression clouded Jacob’s face as he shot a sideway glance at Matt.
At the table, everyone’s focus also shifted on the pair. Looking anxious, David was about to stand up, but a hand held his shoulders from behind.
Jacob shook his head at David, before he turned around to look at Matt. “Everyone else laughed as well, why can’t David do the same?” he demanded icily.
Overcame by alcohol, Matt gave a disdainful wave. “What act are you putting on right now? You are just a fugitive that injured others with a weapon!” After taking a burp, he continued contemptuously, “You ran away just like that, leaving your woman in school–”
Suddenly, a gust of wind was whipped up, followed by a clear sound of glass breaking.
Clank!
Eerily enough, the shards of the glass did not splatter too far away.
Matt’s eyes rolled back into his head. His arms were wrapped around his head as he fell to the ground.
Silence immediately ensued in the room, followed by Jacob heaving a short breath.
After throwing the rest of the wine bottle on Matt’s body, he looked at Colin opposite him with a hint of remorse. “I’m sorry about that; I couldn’t hold myself back. Can you please send this fellow to the hospital? I’ll pay you back the medical fees.”
Upon hearing that, Colin merely nodded with a wry smile.
Jacob shot another glance at Matt on the ground, covered in blood, before he arched his eyebrows murderously.
Since we are here for a reunion party, I’ll just injure your head. In the future, if you dare to utter anything unnecessary, death will be awaiting you!
He patted David on the shoulder before walking out of the private room.
If I continue to stay here, I would make it awkward for everything. Now that I’ve seen my good buddies from university, it’s better for me to leave now.
A flutter of footsteps suddenly appeared behind him. He turned around and saw David’s innocent, tanned face.
With a smile, he said, “I’ll leave with you.”
A bright smile appeared on Jacob’s face as he hugged his best buddy’s shoulders. They walked out of the room, shoulder-to-shoulder.
Sitting at the dining table, Harry shoved his chair aside and stood up. “Colin, those two are out of line. I’ll speak some sense into them!”
With that, he gulped down the contents of his wine glass before he chased after David and Jacob.
After a while, Geoffrey smiled at Colin. “Uhm… Colin, I’m leaving now as well. Let’s keep in touch!”
“Just leave.” Colin waved exasperatedly. “I know the four of you are very close back in university. Apologize to Jacob on my behalf, please.”
“No problem.”
He patted his chest, but at the same time he also shot a glance at his wine glass. However, he was still a decent and respectable man after all, so he left with regrets.
As soon as the door was closed behind him, silence suddenly fell on the room.
Seeing how the reunion party ended up with four people leaving and one person injured on the ground, Colin felt emotionally drained. He heaved a disgruntled sigh and said, “Someone please call the hospital. I’ll foot the bill first.”
Before he even reached the door of the room, the door was suddenly opened, followed by two people walking in.
“Oh hey, Mr. Ramos. Where are you going?” Mr. Vasquez, who was holding a similar glass of red wine in his hands, asked curiously.
Just as Colin wanted to explain the situation – after all, a fight broke up here at Mr. Varquez’s hotel; it was proper manners to report everything – his facial expression immediately changed when he raised his head and saw the person standing behind Mr. Vasquez.
“Mr. Chegg?”
