Chapter 4 Play With Fire
Danica was here.
After the shopping spree, Florence brought her to 1996 Bar where the divorce party was held.
It had never occurred to Danica that she’d run into Wayne and his lot, and of course, she heard their ridicule.
She knew those men around Wayne. They were all part of the upper class in Marinburg, and Emilio was the closest to Wayne. Back then, everyone in Marinburg had known that Jennifer and Wayne were an item, and these men had all been fond of Jennifer. Emilio even called her “Jenny“.
Over the past three years, none of them had actually accepted Danica.
To them, she was just “the substitute bride“, “the simp“, “the ugly duckling“, and “the bumpkin“.
Since Wayne didn’t love her, of course, his friends wouldn’t treat her with any respect.
Florence heard their conversation, too. Furious, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to charge over. “I’m gonna beat the crap out of
them!”
Danica stopped her. “Forget it, Florence. I’m divorced already, right? Pay no mind to what they say.”
The calmness on Danica’s face seemed genuine, and Florence held back with difficulty. As more and more people turned to look at Danica while addressing her as “angel“, Florence was instantly in a better

mood. “Let’s go, Dani. We’re gonna have some serious fun!”
She brought Danica to a VIP booth and waved her hand. “Get all the male escorts here!”
In another VIP booth, as a few playboys mocked Danica nonstop, they suddenly felt a sharp, cold gaze.
They looked up, only to see Wayne, in the main seat, glance at them lazily.
There was coldness, displeasure, and warning in Wayne’s eyes.
The grins on their faces froze, and they fell silent at once, not daring to badmouth Danica anymore.
Meanwhile, Emilio gazed at Wayne, thinking, “Though Wayne has never taken Danica seriously, she has indeed taken care of him attentively for three years. I guess it means something to him after all.”
Just then, the commotion in the bar grew bigger. “Such a beautiful angel!”
Angel?
Where?
Emilio looked over and was instantly slack–jawed. “Fuck me! An angel indeed!”
Those playboys were equally stunned. “Since when did Marinburg have such a beauty? None of us has ever seen her before.”
Emilio elbowed Wayne. “Wayne, look! An angel!”
Wayne had been surrounded by all kinds of women since childhood, and he wasn’t interested at all. But Danica’s booth was right opposite

his.
He looked up and saw her.
Without those oversized glasses on her face, she no longer seemed rigid and stiff. Her palm–sized face was fair and tender, and her straight, long hair scattered on her shoulders, coupled with her striking features and cold, indifferent temperament, was indeed worth the word “angel“.
Wayne paused for a couple of seconds.
Emilio was thrilled. “What do you think, Wayne? Isn’t she an angel or what?”
One of their friends said, “I bet he’s not into her. She has that icy vibe, whereas delicate beauties such as Jennifer are his type.”
“Check out her legs! They’re as perfect as Jennifer’s.”
Unlike before, Danica was wearing a short skirt, revealing her legs for the first time.
Her legs were long, slender, and nicely toned.
Any man would be captivated by them, which were as impressive as Jennifer’s.
Wayne’s gaze lingered on the “angel” for a few seconds. Somehow, he felt that he had seen her somewhere before.
Just then, several male escorts went to Danica’s booth and stood in front of her, each and every one of them had a stunning face and an exceptionally nice figure.
Florence smiled, “Go ahead, Dani. Pick eight.”

To celebrate that she was finally out of her misery, Danica decided to have some proper fun. “You… You… And you. Stay.”
Meanwhile, Emilio was counting. “Gee, did she just pick eight of them?”
One of the playboys teased, “Why waste money? At her beckon, we’ll be more than happy to keep her company without charging a penny.”
Everyone laughed.
Just then, Wayne’s phone dinged again.
It was another bank notification.
He picked up his phone to see what Danica had bought this time.
“Dear VVIP customer, your card ending in 0975 has been charged 80 thousand dollars at 1996 Bar for ordering eight male escorts.”
Wayne froze. He read the words “eight male escorts” a few times before looking up at “angel” sitting opposite him.
It was Danica who had just ordered eight male escorts.
He was slightly slack–jawed.
The eight male escorts surrounded Danica and started to pour wine into her glass. “Pretty, let’s play a drinking game.”
Florence beamed. “Yeah, why not?”
Danica lost the first found, and one of the male escorts fed her wine. “Drink, pretty.”
Danica emptied the glass, which upset the others. “This is so unfair. Why did you drink the wine he offered you? What about us? We

wanna feed you wine, too.”
Danica felt bittersweet–what should she do to make sure none of them feel left out?
Watching them, Wayne squinted. He stood up and walked forward, his expression darkening to the utmost.
Emilio was stunned. “Wayne? Where are you going to?”
While Danica was drinking, a hand with slender fingers reached out, grabbed her by the wrist, and picked her up from the sofa effortlessly.
Startled, she looked up, only to see Wayne’s handsome face.
She was stunned for a second before struggling hard, wanting to break free. “Wayne, let go of me!”
Wayne pulled her to leave with a sullen face.
Florence stood up. “What are you doing, Wayne? Let go of Dani!”
Emilio and the others were dumbfounded, wondering if they had misheard. “Dani?”
“That angel is Danica?”
“She’s that ugly duckling? No way!”
“I had no idea Danica is this stunning!”
Emilio froze as he gawked at Danica, who was dragged away by Wayne. He muttered, “Fuck me! Danica has totally changed—she no longer clings to Wayne and has become so breathtaking!”

Wayne yanked Danica forward, his broad hand locking around her wrist. His grip was as domineering and firm as the man himself, and no matter how hard Danica tried, she just couldn’t break free.
Due to his long strides, she could only stumble behind him. “Let go of me, Wayne!”
Suddenly, he flung her forward, and her delicate back slammed into a cold wall.
In the next second, he approached her, his figure blocking the light.
Trapping her between him and the wall, he said through gritted teeth, a cold, dangerous glint flashing across his eyes, “Danica, you’ve got some balls playing with fire.”
